Limericks are My Life

There once was a lawyer call Dershowitz 
Who people agreed was the worst there is. 
He was a friend of Jeff Epstein's, 
A man who could supply teens 
To the hotel rooms of old men to do what they would with.

---||---

There once was a man called Caviezel,
And people exclaimed "Oh, that weasel!"
When they heard is name trending
With theories suspending
Belief; like Van Gogh's bloody ear on an easel.

Limericks are Great

There once was a Senator called Cruz, 
Who scurried around for a muse. 
He wrapped a rifle barrel in bacon 
Like a rightist’s true blazon 
And yet he can’t understand why the GOP lose.

Pun of the Year?

I know I shouldn't brag, this being one of mine.....

I hear the BBC might remake the Gormenghast TV show; Hugh Grant is a tremendous fan and has begged the producers for a part, a Flay Grant if you will.

But methinks this has some merit.

Limerick

There once was a man who wouldn’t go
Even though the electorate told him to.
When they cried “Leave, you really ought”
He heard “Take your case to the Supreme Court.

Where 17 AGs will reap what you sow.

The Collinsworth Limerick

There was was a man called Cris Collinsworth 
Who seemed to not know women walked the Earth, 
And they know schemes and plays! 
Are we in the Last Days? 
I'm sure he can find us the Bible verse.

Limericks gegen Rodney Howard-Browne

ONE
There once was a pastor so rank 
He conned while the economy sank; 
"Just send us your money" 
"To me and my honey" "
And we'll laugh all the way to the bank"

TWO
There once was a man with no civility 
Who simply leached off of Christ's pure humility 
He lied to his flocks 
Just to make the big bucks 
We all know where he's spending eternity.

THREE
There once was a man in Tampa Bay 
Who just milked his "flock" to make hay. 
He distorted and lied 
Until Jesus cried 
"You''re so burning on Judgment Day".

FOUR
To be blocked by a man known as Rodney 
Is enough to make a man say: "Sod me!" 
"My life is on track" 
"Not seeing the cack"
 "He spews into the world all around me".

FIVE
There once a man from South Africa. 
Who said "I've never been happier" 
"Putting down a black President" 
"Like a 'Whites Only' resident" 
"As a pastor I've never been tackier"

More Haikus

The counting drags on 
Over hump into the dark; 
Empty screaming Dark  

Presidents, they fail; 
Time, opportunities slip. 
Nothing is achieved. 

Thanksgiving arrives, 
Families remain apart; 
And a virus smiles.  

They count and they count; 
Then they sleep for a few hours. 
And find more ballots. 

The weekend comes on; 
A ball lands in an endzone. 
Many beers are drunk.

Haikus of Despair

 

A debate tonight
And as California burns
We spend our last pence.

#HaikuChallenge


Behind a glass screen
Spittle flies, policy dies
And a Country weeps.

#HaikuChallenge


Heroes just show up
Leaders preen, but only that.
And jobs go away.

#HaikuChallenge


Lemmy and Eddie.
Together. Ripping God’s ears.
Making angels dance.

#HaikuChallenge


He won; no she won
A Neolib shapeshifter
Or seller of doves?

#HaikuChallenge

How's it doin'?

You know I got these snakes
And I cannot lie
They'll bite you in the ass
Just to watch you die.

They ain't all like that
Some are slick and smooth
Like a cat in a club
Wanting into your goove.

There's a limit to venom
You know that's true
Some might take you to heaven
But only if you want to.

Got a bad reputation
For doing some harm
Cuz we live in a nation
Where we don't do calm.

There's no correlation 
Between a bite from an asp
When the envenomation's
already in your grasp.

You'll die from your paucity
You'll die in pain
In the heart of a poor city
You know who's to blame.

EPIC FAIL: Got another "We switched on your webcam" scam email


Email Subject: I am aware, xxxxxxx, is your password

I require your full attention for the up coming 24 hours. Or I may make sure you that you live out of embarrassment for the rest of your existence.

Me: LMAO. Can I live out of the trunk of my car instead?

Hello, you do not know me personally. But I know everything concerning you. All of your facebook contact list, smartphone contatcts along with all the online activity in your computer from previous 157 days.

Me: LMAO. Why 157?

Which includes your masturbation video footage, which brings me to the main reason why I am crafting this specific e-mail to you.

Me: I am on tenterhooks!

Well, the last time you went to the porno websites, my spyware was activated in your personal computer which ended up documenting a beautiful footage of your masturbation play by triggering your web cam. you got a seriously odd preference btw lmafao I have got the full recording.

Me: What are “the porno websites”? LMAO.

Just in case you think I am playing around, simply reply proof and I will be forwarding the recording randomly to 10 people you’re friends with. It may end up being your friend, co workers, boss, mother and father I’m not sure! My software program will randomly choose the contact details. Would you be capable to gaze into anyone’s eyes again after it? I question that… But, doesn’t necessarily have to be that way. I would like to make you a one time, non negotiable offer. Buy $ 2000 in bitcoin and send it to the address below:

1*bitCoinkeyfOllowsheRE

[case SENSITIVE, copy and paste it and remove * from it ] If you don’t know how, lookup how to purchase bitcoin. Do not waste my valuable time ) If you send out this ‘donation’ (we will call it that?). Right after that, I will disappear and never ever contact you again. I will get rid of everything I’ve got concerning you. You may very well continue living your current normal day to day lifestyle with zero concerns. You’ve got 1 day to do so. Your time begins as quickly as you go through this mail. I have an one of a kind code that will inform me once you have read this mail therefore don’t attempt to play smart.

Me: LMAO so hard. (a) I have more than one friend and (b) my parents never had an online presence and (c) I can look anyone in the eyes. If I met you, could you say the same?

Me: You are, what is the word I am looking for…..? Oh yes, A FUCKING LOSER and actually yes, I AM SMARTER THAN YOU.

The Schism


Is this really a thing? “The Fall of Man” or as David Icke calls it:

The Schism

“There was an energetic schism at the level of the metaphysical universe ( the waveform based information construct) and that as it was decoded through into this holographic reality, obviously mirrored in the holographic play-out world, the schism in the information construct.”

WHAT THE FUCK?

People pay money to hear David Icke speak for 10 hours at a time and this gibberish is what they get.

And it makes no sense because it is literally, nonsense.

PSA: You can ignore any emails you get like this one...

This is the body of an email received by a colleague today (word for word as received):


This account was infected! Renew the password this time!
You might not know me me and you are probably wondering why you are reading this particular letter, right?
I’m ahacker who openedyour emailand digital devicessome time ago.
Never try to msg me or find me, it is definitely not possible, because I forwarded an email using YOUR hacked account.
I’ve installed virus on the adult videos (porn) site and guess that you have vistited this site to have a good time (you know what I want to say)
Whilst you have been watching movies, your internet browser began operating like a RDP (Remote Control) having a keylogger that gave me the ability to access your monitor and network camera.
Afterward, my programgatheredall information.
You have put passcodes on the websites you visited, I caught them.
Needless to say, you are able to change each of them, or have already modified them.
Even so it doesn’t matter, my program updates needed data regularly.
What have I done?
I made a reserve copy of every your system. Of all files and each contact.
I formed a dual-screen movie. The 1st section shows the video you were watching (you have got an interesting taste, wow…), and the second part demonstrates the tape from your camera.
What do you have to do?
Great, I think, 1000 USD will be a reasonable amount of money for this very little secret. You will make a payment by bitcoins (if you do not understand this, try to find “how to buy bitcoins in Google).
My bitcoin wallet address:

     [ Idiot Put The AdDreSS here ]

(It is cAsE sensitive, so copy and paste it ).
Warning:
You will have only 48 hours to perform the payment ( I have an exclusive pixel to this email, and at the moment I understand that you have read this email).
To monitorthe reading of a letterandthe activityin it, I utilize a Facebook pixel. Thanks to them.
(Anything thatcan be usedfor the authorities should helpus.)
In the even I fail to get bitcoins, I will undoubtedly transfer your video files to all your contacts, such as family members, co-workers, etc?

---||---

So let’s analyze this one together shall we?

Even if this guy had put a virus on a porn site ( and he has not ), Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) on PCs is by default DISABLED, so he cannot have taken control of my internet browser and he cannot have installed a keylogger and he cannot at any time ever have had access to my camera because...I DON’T HAVE ONE.

Therefore anything he says about what he’s done is just complete fucking hogwash.

No capturing videos, so no “dual-screen movie”. So then his pathetic attempt at extortion via bitcoins is just laughable. And because he never got control of my PC, he cannot have my Contact List to threaten me with. And “I have installed a pixel”? LMAO. I don’t thing he knows what a pixel is nor what Facebook Pixel does. The sap. This email came via Russia and Japan using spoofed addresses.
He’s right about one thing, he is untraceable. But if you receive an email like this, it is 100% shitcanable and I suggest you do just that. And then laugh your ass off that this schmuck.

Funniest Phishing Email Scam


These Phishing Scams are just too freaking funny.
BEWARE OF THIS EMAIL. BUT DON’T WORRY. THE TWAT IS JUST TRYING TO SCARE YOU.
EVERYTHING STATED AND BADLY MISSPELLED IN HERE IS JUST UTTERLY UNTRUE AND CAN BE IGNORED.
---||---
Subject: This account has been hacked! Change your password right now!
You may not know me and you are probably wondering why you are getting this e mail, right?
I'm a hacker who cracked your devices a few months ago.
Do not try to contact me or find me, it is impossible, since I sent you an email from YOUR hacked account.
I setup a malware on the adult vids (porno) web-site and guess what, you visited this site to have fun (you know what I mean).
While you were watching videos, your internet browser started out functioning as a RDP (Remote Control) having a keylogger which gave me accessibility to your screen and web cam.
After that, my software program obtained all of your contacts and files.
You entered a passwords on the websites you visited, and I intercepted it.
Of course you can will change it, or already changed it.
But it doesn't matter, my malware updated it every time. ** THIS IS MEANINGLESS **
What did I do?
I created a double-screen video. 1st part shows the video you were watching (you've got a good taste haha . . .), and 2nd part shows the recording of your web cam.
Do not try to find and destroy my virus! (All your data is already uploaded to a remote server)

Do not try to contact me (this is not feasible, I sent you an email from your account)

Various security services will not help you; formatting a disk or destroying a device will not help either, since your data is already on a remote server.
I guarantee you that I will not disturb you again after payment, as you are not my single victim. This is a hacker code of honor.
Don’t be mad at me, everyone has their own work.
exactly what should you do?
Well, in my opinion, $1000 (USD) is a fair price for our little secret. You'll make the payment by Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search "how to buy bitcoin" in Google).
My Bitcoin wallet Address:
blahBlahBlahdiblah0001 
(It is cAsE sensitive, so copy and paste it)
Important:
You have 48 hour in order to make the payment. (I've a unique pixel in this e mail, and at this moment I know that you have read through this email message). WHAT THE FUCK IS A “UNIQUE PIXEL”?
To track the reading of a message and the actions in it, I use the facebook pixel. ** MEANINGLESS **
Thanks to them. (Everything that is used for the authorities can help us.)
If I do not get the BitCoins, I will certainly send out your video recording to all of your contacts including relatives, coworkers, and so on. Having said that, if I receive the payment, I'll destroy the video immidiately.
If you need evidence, reply with "Yes!" and I will certainly send out your video recording to your 6 contacts. It is a non-negotiable offer, that being said don't waste my personal time and yours by responding to this message.
---||---

My reply:

Release the video then. I don’t care. No-one does.

Also I love he says “Don’t respond” and then says “Reply with “Yes!””. So funny.

That which confuses me.

It used to be child abuse, but now we are in a full-on social media Mass Hysteria over sexual harassment. Just look what happened to Matt Damon when he commented on this issue.....

That being said, and realizing as a man I am stepping into a minefield here, I want to address the issue of "Why Now?"

Why Now? Why is this an exploding issue now?

It was over 15 years ago that I had my first company training on sexual harassment. It was mandatory and we were told it was company-wide and everyone had to participate. It went on your training records and if you put it off, your supervisor would see you hadn't done it and not complete your annual evaluation until you had.

Yes, it was that mandatory. AND additional training happened over the succeeding years as laws changed. AND that training was just as mandatory and unavoidable. The Corporate America I worked for comprehensively addressed sexual harassment as early as the year 2000.

And in that training we all learned about "Hostile Workplace" sexual harassment, which is basically "if someone feels uncomfortable, then that is harassment."

We learned that hostile workplace harassment is in the eye of the beholder. You as the guy ( and it usually is a guy ), have no recourse if someone goes to HR about you. So we were told "Don't even have a picture of your wife or girlfriend on your desk, just to be on the safe side. Especially not that cute one you took on vacation."

So my company over 15 years ago, knew this was an area ripe for accusations and they trained us all to not do ANYTHING at ANY TIME in ANY WAY that might be construed by ANYONE as contributing to a hostile workplace.

I guess HR wanted a quiet life.

So the point I am coming to is "Why Now?" And I am forced to draw one conclusion, And it is this....

Ordinary working stiffs have had sexual harassment training forever, and we knew that there could be serious repercussions over many perceived sleights by the harassed. So we took our training and we did what our companies asked. And we avoided, avoided, avoided anything that could make us open to accusations.

But what about all these people who are now so publicly accused? Why did they continue? Surely they all worked for someones company at some time? Gosh, even as contractors they got the training somewhere? Even running their own companies, the lawyers must have told them about the law and the consequences of accusations....

Why didn't they stop until 2017 when allegations became avalanches?

Could it be that it was because they were Big Shots and they thought the law did not apply to them?

"Don't you know who I am?" to the power of a google? The bullying "I can ruin you in this town" mentality?

I think it was that. They all deserve everything that's coming to them.

Grifters on the Instagram.

In the last few weeks I have been contacted by two people through social media who wanted me to be their "friend" based on my Instagram posts.

One came at me via Facebook Messenger and claimed to be the Page 3 Girl Lucy Pinder, but from her broken English, I know it really wasn't her.

In both cases I got lines about "Needing a normal friend" and "You seem a genuine person". You know, generalized sucking up.

Lucy kind of backed away after I didn't respond enthusiastically enough to her. But I have reached out to see if she still thinks I'm hooked.

Annabelle contacted me two days ago via Instagram. She quickly sent me her phone number ( 612 470-xxxx ) and we texted away; me telling her how lovely she was and her massaging my ego saying stuff like "You have a genuine heart" and nonsense like that.

Then of course, out came the "I am flat broke, my phone service is about to be cut off" ( so we would not be able to continue to text ) and "I need a $75 i-Phone gift card and no-one else will help me."

She was good, but I'm a 60 year old man and I know that a 34 year old woman is not randomly reaching out for friends on social media.

So then "Poof!", I blocked her phone number, deleted her texts and blocked her on Instagram.

On IG she trolls by the name of "sassyannabelle". So, Buyer Beware. Especially Olde Buyers.

Southern Baptist Convention: As Unchristian as they wanna be.

Yesterday, the Southern Baptist Convention hurriedly passed a resolution condemning white supremacy and the alt-right after a major backlash against the organization occurred when their leadership scuttled an initial and more strongly worded resolution against those ideologies.

At a news conference, Barrett Duke, a Southern Baptist leader who had led a committee that decided which resolutions should be considered for a vote, said the resolution as originally written contained inflammatory and broad language “potentially implicating” conservatives who do not support the “alt-right” movement.

Well Barrett, that's the point isn't it? Conservatives are not really Christians. To paraphrase George Carlin, they are just a group of people who meet up on Sundays to compare clothes and cars.

If a resolution so palpably right actually implicates your members, then surely you look at them with questions, not at the language of the statement that exposed them?

Hands up all those who were surprised by the SBC's initial stance.

My hand is down.

Dateline 05/17/17

Someone needs to tell Rush Limbaugh three things:-

1. Obama is no longer President.

2. Obama publicly commenting on an investigation which he thought to have no merit is way less serious than Trump trying to influence an ongoing investigation privately.

3. "Let it go" doesn't mean "investigate but don't prosecute", it means DROP THE INVESTIGATION. Plus, the fact that the investigation continues is a reflection of Comey's integrity and not of President Trump saying that the investigation should continue.

If we want to compare Obama's actions to Trump's, anyone with half a brain will see that what Trump is doing is far far worse.

Word

If someone says to you "Your voice is like smooth jazz", after your initial double take, it is perfectly acceptable to punch them in the nose and say "And your schnoz sounds like Nico McBrain's high hat".
