Where People Thought

What I'm Watching

This is the end . . .

Not of this blog, although posts have been hit and miss lately, but today is the 36th anniversary of Jim Morrison's, of The Doors, apparent death by heart attack in his Paris apartment. I say apparent because of the controversy/myth around his death and Morrison's claims prior to his dying of going and hiding out somewhere and sending letters to friends to let him know he was okay; well I don't know about you but I haven't received any letters from Mr. Mojo Rising.

All sorts of fans & pilgrims make the trek to Jim Morrison's grave in Paris' Pere Lachaise Cemetery, although apparently the cemetery is full of misdirecting graffiti leading other would be visitors astray.

Enough history for today, how's about a current event? If you're the kind of person who enjoys a nice wank after eating a pizza and you live in Winnipeg you're in luck; there's a new River City business called Porno Pizza that will deliver pizza to your door with pages of porn under the pizza where the cardboard normally would be. You can read about it here if you're so inclined. Also big ups tot he owner Corey Wildeman for using a Simpsons quote in his interview with the Winnipeg Sun. Man what can't you get in Osborne Village?

The Chris Benoit saga is ongoing and now the Sun is reporting that authorities now believe that he killed his son with one of his finishers, The Crippler Crossface. You can read about it here if you like, but I don't think this one is going to die down anytime soon. There will be all kinds of media attention on the deaths and of course steroid and other drug use by pro wrestlers. It's nothing new and I think everyone is well aware of the side effects of the job/lifestyle . . . just ask Curt Hennig, Road Warrior Hawk, Rick Rude, Davey Boy Smith, Brian Pillman, the Von Erich Family . . . hell the list could go on and on.

And from the realms of science read here about how babies are natural born liars. Interesting article but I guess it's something we all knew already, eh? I mean everyone has heard a baby cry just for attention and I guess we weren't cynical enough to call it lying . . . maybe that's why I'm uncomfortable around the wee ones?

And I will end with a direct cut and paste from the meanest bit of spam email I've received in recent memory, "Your penis is too small even for a Barbie doll. With Penis Enlarge Patch it will be big enough fo" Ouch eh? And yes it was cut off like that in the email.

Until next time.

Actually, Jim's grave is easy to find...especially with the maps at the cemetary entrances. The pic I took when I was there last fall is at:
