The Vulgar Ignorance Of Nepal – Gadhimai Killing Festival

Boycott Nepal

The Vulgar Ignorance Of Nepal – Gadhimai Killing Festival – In South Central Nepal near the border with India. Why anyone would want to visit this Godless country is a mystery. But I am told that the people of Nepal are mostly wonderful and that it is a country of great beauty. Over the last 2 days the government sanctioned slaughter of innocent animals has again taken place. A frenzied killing of sentient beings to appease a Hindu Goddess.

The Tooth Goddess

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – November 30, 2004 – I was up nice and early this morning and chopped down a nice medium-sized maple tree with my big beaver teeth. Why? Because I could and because today is the day I get my final movie star teeth. My last visit this year to see my dentist Peter.

We can tell Momma that we’re hungry, happy and that we love each other. We can also learn our names in as little as two weeks time and we’ll come when called.

A Person’s Home Is Very Revealing

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – November 27, 2004 – I met a client for lunch today and then completed the last bit of my holiday shopping. I am done – gifts for all – and quite lovely ones at that. I won’t have pleased my brother. I’m guilty of giving him more stuff.
