Hot: First up on this WTK is the opposite of wealth. That term is “illth” and was coined by John Ruskin as a way of giving simple voice to the concept of possessing damage, discontent, or general ill health (physically, economically, spiritually, etc). In Ruskin’s case, and in several applications, this is largely applicable to [...]
Hot: As drinks go, especially mixed drinks, I’m a big fan of traditional over fruity or “umbrella” drinks (you know, the ones that turn you into a zombie? ha ha). However, Mister Parker’s recent experiment with the recipe for a drink known as the Doctor Funk has proved to be an elixir of great potency. [...]
Hot: Look, anyone who knows me can attest to the idea that, I’m probably not the most put-together person on the planet. In fact, my inability to get organized, and my all-star procrastinator status really gives me little credibility when it comes to telling you what to do. However, in the past six months, I’ve [...]
Hot: Now here is a bit I haven’t done in quite some time! The Words To Know series had all but died. Tonight I feel like shaking the dust off, brushing away the cobwebs, and putting WTK to work once more. I’ve decided to go easy on the old girl, by featuring two terms, and [...]
Hot: It’s a two for one special! Come for the paraphrasing of a pretty funny BBC article, and stay for the hook up on ancient cannabis usage! I happened to pop my head into the ectochat and what to my wondering eyes did appear but a BBC article link! Upon following it I discovered that [...]
Hot: Last night and well into today has been a flight of extreme fantasy, not all of which was enjoyable, but all of which has left me thinking. Unfortunately I’ve waited too long to write this all down, so some details will inevitably be lost in the rapid cognition thought-shuffling of daily life. At some [...]
Hot: Last night the most remarkable series of things happened, resulting in a delightful print out just for you! In #ormgas (the IRC channel for the OCR internet radio broadcast), Leissi pasted the following – Notice: This Department requires no physical fitness program: everyone gets enough exercise jumping to conclusions, flying off the handle, running [...]
Hot: This song is great. The video possibly more so, in fact. It runs the gamut between 50′s black and white swagger, David Lee Roth-esque 80′s video style, and that unique kind of long haired 90′s flash of wit and attitude. The song is as all-over-the-place as the video itself. It’s a good time all [...]
Hot: Do you long for the days of ‘zines? Running off to follow loud bands who were either extremely concerned or extremely unconcerned with the way of the world? Dressing however you felt like, and sometimes with the express goal of freaking out the normals? Well I more-or-less don’t because I missed the whole thing. [...]
Hot: Edit: A much better take on this situation, from one far more familiar can be found over yonder. At this point I suppose you could consider my post to be more of a primer for the almost equally undereducated. So, Robert Anton Wilson died yesterday. It was also Albert Hofmann’s birthday. For those who [...]
