THE GERARD’S DEPARDIEUS & DON’TS

ARE TWOPEAT CHAMPIONS, YO!!!!

yes, I even do poorly made photchops for my co-ed soccer team

dude, you know how gay I am for JFGay, right??? well, if you didn’t, now you know, and I JFGayed the sh!t out of JFGay last nite, catching Oliver Stone’s 3+ hour director’s cut in a theater!! (dude, those 3 hours went by in like 3 minutes. NO JOKESESZ!!). Sadly, none of the extra footage including more JFGayness, but still – there is be no better movie with 3 letters in it, and without JFGay, there would be no Zodiac, and without Zodiac, this planet aint even worth living on. Anywho, all I have to say is…

ネコずしとは / What is ‘Neko-Sushi’?

Neko-Sushi is an extremely unusual life-form consisting of a cat on top of a portion of sushi rice. Although several references have come down to us through history from various researchers and witnesses, their existence is still shrouded in mystery and actual sightings remain rare. There are several academics who have devoted their lives to the study of  these creatures. According to a number of these, Neko-Sushi make use of gaps in space to come to us from an alternate dimension. Beyond these “gaps” lies the world of the Neko-Sushi in which, it is recently understood, lies the true identity of the cats that dwell with us here in the human dimension

禅とネコずし / Zen and Sushi Cats

We know the rule of Sushi – fish on top of rice.  On the other hand we know the rule cats eat fish. Cats sit on rice, where fish is supposed to be – why? Contradiction and mystery in this world is always center of the cryptic questions among Japanese zen monks. And this is another Zen question -why Cats sit on rice instead of fish, not eating them? – the great zen question, which proves the magical power of Sushi Cats

The Armstrong Lie

I have never cared for, nor paid attention to anything having to do with Lance Armstrong.  I’m not into cycling, the Tour de France, those Livestrong wristbands, who Lance dated, who Lance duped, how Lance doped, if he actually did it, why he would have done it, yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda cyclying zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.  The media loves a good celebrity scandal – I could care less.  I’m more into serial killers and assassinations and unsolved mysteries that are actually mysterious, not athletes cheating  

Now that we’ve got that out of the way – it’s time to review Alex Gibney‘s exhaustive and exhausting (par for the course of any doc he’s made) The Armstrong Lie.  Originally launched as a puff-piece documentary chronicling Armstrong’s comeback trail to the ‘009 Tour de France, it turned into something completely different after he admitted to cheating to Oprah/the public

But something funny happened on the way to vilifying the cheating, lying scum that is Lance Armstrong – you end up rooting for the guy.  Gibney basically sez so himself – being duped on his doping, but as the doc plays out, you watch a man who juss can’t/won’t/don’t quit, and wants to make his nagging naysayers say ‘yay’ not ‘nay’, and in general – just win the damn race, and amazingly, you truly will feel sympathetic for a man who has become so pathetic  

Yes, he lied, and denied, and yes, he cheated, and did everything in his power to hide that fact, but apparently everyone else in his sport did so, AND THEM SOME.  They all broke the rules, but if the playing field is level with EVERYONE cheating, doesn’t it make it fair???  I mean, he still won those races.  Nothing changes that.  They may strip him of his actual titles, but if he didn’t win them, who did?  They next cheater in line???  And what about his foundation?  Sure, its leader and icon is a total fraud, but the money raised for awareness and support of cancer patients helped – not hurt  

The lies juss perpetually got bigger and bigger AND BIGGGGGGER, and why would he or anyone associated with him want to make the fame & fortune & winning & helping stop?  Well, now it has stopped, and where do we go from here?  Nowhere, cause we still don’t care for him or racing or duping, even if we juss did for 2 hours 

Verdictgo: Jeepers Worth A Peepers

Armstrong strong arms it into NY/LA/Austin today, and elsewhere elsewhen

Chewing The Neck Fat: there’s only one thing Gibney didn’t get to the bottom of – what’s up with Dutch lawyer Emile Vrijman‘s neck????

and until next thyme the balcony is clothed…
