Cult Clothing Coming to An Interwebz Near You

Those crazy Polygamists. All that attention they recieved from their recent scandal and having their children removed from their custody shot them in the limelight. As any good marketer would do, they’ve taken this opportunity to merchandize themselves. Now you can pretend to be a psychotic Mormon freak who has their children taken away.

Sounds like kinky sex dress up time to me. “Tell me I’m your favorite wife, yeah baby!”

I Did I My Way…Before I Died

Boing Boing has pulled up a very interesting Yahoo article on the top funeral tunes in Australia. Apparently, “My Way” By Frank Sinatra is number one. Second is “Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong.

Funny, I’d really like to have the Sid Vicious cover of My Way at my funeral, not because it’s a great song, but just because it seems aggressive and appropriate. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think a song about a wonderful world is really the kind of song I envision at a funeral.

Childhood Nightmares

I saw Indiana Jones last week. If you haven’t seen it already, without giving too much away, I can tell you there’s a scene with creepy, flesh-eating red ants. I hated the scene though I loved the movie. Why? Because I hate ants.

As a child, one of my worst nightmares involved hiding in a linen cupboard as a line of two-foot-tall red ants walked through my hallway with my parents and my sister on their backs. Just when I thought I was safe, the cupboard popped open and one of the ants started carrying me towards their nest.

It may sound silly now, but it was terrifying to a three year old. To this day, ants in large quantities still creep me out. I know other people have similar strange nightmares when they were children. I was wondering what kind of weird dreams you guys have had. Let me know in the comments.
