Thanks for spray-painting swastikas everywhere. Thanks for calling my friends “fags,” getting into fights, throwing eggs at strangers (really?!). I know there’s plenty of you that are respectable, gorgeous, brilliant people. I wish you were all like that, instead of the drunken, bigoted fucks that clog up our streets every Labour Day weekend. —Too old for this shit

  1. NSCAD? – It could be performance art, I suppose.

    Any college student can tell you that the only appropriate time and place to spray paint a swastika is at a “Solidarity with Palestine” demo.

    Perhaps the students yelling “F@gs” were British and out of smokes?

    If meat is murder, then surely eggs is abortions, so throwing them is probably some form of Pro-choice affirmation?

    Or, they’re just a bunch of assholes. You think they’re insufferable now, just wait until they become lawyers, journalists, property developers, members of the Pr*gr#ss club, sociologists, community organizers, etc….

  2. Oh, Hey, no need to slag NSCAD in response to this post–they definitely don’t go around painting racist symbols or yelling hateful slurs.

    My guess is that this is stuff from a crowd far younger than university age . . . and if they ARE university age then obviously they are far too immature to be out on their own, and should be sent back home to their parents’ basement.

  3. Why does it have to be the basement? I wish people would stop treating people who live in basements with such prejudice, if you want to live in a basement that’s your choice. Why the stigma? Careful Angel of the Tarsands, your main-floor-accommodations privilege is showing.

  4. OK Hols+ . . . didn’t mean to throw the bad guys in with the good basement-dwelling folks!

    But ya gotta admit, the bad ones give the rest a bad name, right?

  5. I’m surprised you can write ‘swastika’ on this board since people are getting banned for breathing.

  6. basements are where the stink bugs live. those creepy little armadillo bugs that really stink when you squish them.

  7. A CONCEPTUAL SCHEME

    “Thanks for spray-painting swastikas everywhere.” Too old for this shit

    I have been thinking about this bitch in an attempt to conceptualize it in some coherent fashion. Assuming that the offenders are university students, I have articulated a conceptual scheme which might give grounds for determining who they might be. My conceptual scheme, while simple, is elegant. It goes like this: “The greater the reflective content of the faculty concerned, the less likely are its students to be the offenders.”

    There can be little doubt that the Faculty of Arts, including as it does students of Philosophy and History, are the least likely to be the offenders since they are totally involved in reflecting on the deep themes of the human condition. In the same way, the students in the Faculty of Science are not likely to be the offenders since, while they do not reflect as deeply as their cousins in the Faculty of Arts – what is there to reflect about in respect to natural objects or processes? – they are otherwise engaged.

    There might be grounds in respect to students in the Faculty of Commerce – the accountants, the MBA’s and all the rest – but their avarice for money, their lust for gold, does not predispose them to illegal acts of vandalism. The members of the Faculty of Engineering are, indeed, known for their boozy antics and unreflective minds – what is there to reflect about in respect to machines? – but they are nonetheless absorbed in their artificial pursuits.

    No, I think we have to go to the students in Phys. Ed., those whose only concern is the human body and its cultivation. Even where such a concern extends to research these are the “lumpenproletariat” of the university. Their motto is, “Macht Durch Freude” (“Strength Through Joy”), identical to the Nazis. That’s why they spray-painted swastika everywhere. So there’s your answer.

    By the way, speaking of swastikas, have you checked out my new avatar?

    A pleasure as always.

    Cheerio!

  8. Celebrated my 53rd yesterday. SOBova gave me the complete Horatio Hornblower on DVD, a 26er of ‘buca and Axe “Anarchy” brand deodorant and body scrub.
    Irony has never had such an enchanting musk >: )

  9. as flies to wanton boys are baby mommas to axe deoderant. they will stick to you ivan, their moist, yeasty flesh will smother you on pubic transit.

  10. It’s one of the few products I buy solely because of the advertising. Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings and every time this commercial airs:

    a bitter, hate-filled, misandrist, marxist fymynysts head explodes in a brushcut cloud of pink mist and snippets of Tracy Chapman lyrics. LOL.

  11. You sure they were students? How do you know they weren’t locals, or tourists? I’ve been out a bit lately and there are lots of young people out that aren’t students.

  12. A LOT GOING ON HERE

    As the commentator on the NBC News – the guy with the shaved head whose name I now forget – once said in another context (it might have been Iraq), “There’s a lot going on here.” I treasured his profound insight.

    A pleasure as always.

    Cheerio!

    Was that the one on sodomy? I don’t know, I thought it was pretty funny but it appears that the Birtch equivalent of Lavrenti Beria (NKVD) is now in control. You must begin to practice self-censorship Bad dog. It’s the only way.

    By the way, check out my new avatar. I bet no one knew the answer to the question.

    A pleasure as always.

    Cheerio!

  14. “Birtch equivalent of Lavrenti Beria”
    You mean the John Birtch Society? Oh, MM, you are a card.

    For those who couldn’t guess , the Warner Brothers character on my Avatar is Charley Dog, whose attempts to get adopted by Porky Pig are both whimsical and a subtle indictment of McCarthy era poltics.

    Yes, I’ve always pronounced “Bitch” as “Birtch.” I believe it’s my upper class background.

    For the same reason, of course, I failed to guess the correct answer to Charley Dog, whoever he might be. But I want you to know that I find you both whimsical and subtle. Well, whimsical anyway, in a brutish sort of eastern European way.

    A pleasure as always.

    Cheerio!

  16. Happy Birthday Ivan!! BDM—don’t know what happened, but welcome! Things wouldn’t be the same around here without you 🙂

  17. Why thank you Shesang. I’ve just returned from a vacation jaunt out to the Museum at Sh#@rw@t#r (Riding the 60, slathered with Axe and lookin’ for love in all the wrong places) They have a lovely restored example of your Dad’s old mount. So good to see those poor old Gate Guards inside and polished up to their former glory. For someone who models mostly in 1/72 it’s major cool to see the real thing and to imagine wrestling with something like the Swordfish or the Tracker on a pitching, rolling carrier deck in the North Atlantic.

  18. Ivan!! So great to hear 🙂 Just at mom’s (just a hop, skip and a jump to the base) and she was excited to hear of your jaunt to S’water–she says dad flew in Trackers too! Sounds like you are having a great day!!

  19. i was banned as good dog molly she sang. so all i did was create my darker side. seems pretty silly. i haven’t made a secret that it’s still me.

  20. mm, I have left sodomy behind me. and I try to limit my self abuse – eyesight’s so valuable at this age.

    heh heh heh

    Yes Bad dog, I’m sure you’re right about the effects of self abuse on the eyesight but I think that Ivan would be a better one to ask about this. I understand that he’s now having difficulty reading the papers from Donetsk which, come to think of it, may not be a bad thing.

    A pleasure as always.

    Cheerio!
