In this bootleg ass episode run off my small laptop I talk about waking up too early, cell phones, my busted laptop, a janky ass Florida car jacking story, and a hazing where a guy lost ones of his nuts. Click here for this and previous Rosscast Shows.
Sorry you lost all your stuff. Have you looked at dropbox or 4share? I keep back-ups of important stuff on these, as they're handy and just act as another hard drive on my computer but I can download them onto a second computer if the first bites the dust.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the good travel wishes at the end of your last podcast, I was listening to it when I woke up after getting home from Boston and smiled.
That whole fraternity hazing thing seems really ugly to me because I can't help wondering if these are the same guys who would form a mob, participate in a riot, join in a rape, because the group is more important than even themselves, never mind other people. It's creepy.
I actually back up all my shows on 4Share but not my stuff. I've learned my lesson and things will be backed up from now on. You are the welcome for the travel wishes. It was awesome talking to you last week...week?
ReplyDeleteAs for those guys who do the hazing, they are messes. No one should look at that list of activities and want it done to them, let alone be the one that is willing to do that to someone.
It's not the guys who perpetrate the hazing that creep me out (well them too obviously) but the guys that decide it's worth pain and humiliation to be part of the group. I really think they are potentially dangerous people.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes it was lovely to talk to you too last week...week. I guess you guys don't have fortnights in America? Hahahaaa US English is so cute!
Fhág mo theanga féin! I assume that the guys who are doing had it done to them and just enjoy spreading the pain like a bunch of sick ass freaks.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I can't believe you just commented in Irish! Ok ok, I'll be nice. I quite like American English, I've started using quite a few of the expressions lately. Blame five years of working with 20 year old Yanks.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, speaking of sick freaks, you mentioned cannabalism in the Rosscast but didn't list in it the description so I forgot to comment on it. I COMPLETELY disagree with you on what makes a tasty man-burger! Since in principle, grass-fed cattle and corn-fed chickens are way tastier than the other kind (it upsets me to even think of cows and chickens being fed carcasses of their own kid but apparently this is not unusual in some countries, I'll bet healthy eaters are really tasty. So Californians might be a good food source as there seems to be a high rate of Wholefoods-eating, yoga-practising types living out there. On the other hand, it is also the land of the low fat diet so I'm thinking as proper meat needs some fat to give it flavour, maybe skinny-arse Californians are NOT the way to go. All things considered, Mediterraneans seem to have the most balanced diets so if, say, people from the island of Crete and other Greeks have a diet of fresh veg, olive oil and sea-food, would that mean the nice taste is ruined by fishy flavours? Thinking about it (and clearly I have put far too much thought into it) I would probably go for Middle Easterns as they eat lots of unprocessed food, olive oil and mild spices, plus a decent amount of red meat. Sounds yummy to me!
According to a book I read in my teens about Countess Elisabeth Bathory who murdered servant girls and supposedly bathed in their blood to maintain her youthful looks, modern day cannibals (1970s) in the South Sea Islands are not a big fan of modern man as they say junk food has ruined the taste. That supposed fact has always stayed with me...
However, my final word on cannibalism and best flavoured people: if all the livestock and crops in the world suddenly failed, I would probably hop on a plane to Lebanon or neighbouring countries with what's left of the pitta bread supply and start eating my way through the deliciously flavoured local populace. Omnomnom.
Hey, I forgot I mentioned cannibalism as well. Wow. I still think that healthy eating people would end up rotting faster and no tasting as good. Yes, the better fed animals are healthier for you and blah blah blah. But there's nothing like cutting into a fat, juicy steak. It just tastes better. This rule applies for women as well.
ReplyDeleteI've heard about cannibals bitching about the taste of modern man. Yay? I don't want them to catch me and be like "Oh, he's on that Paleo diet! He tastes scrumptious!" I want them fishing through my pockets pulling out receipts to every fast food joint before they try and eat me, giving them second thoughts.
