Review: Off-Topic: The Story of an Internet Revolt


Off-Topic: The Story of an Internet Revolt
Off-Topic: The Story of an Internet Revolt by G.R. Reader

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



While I was reading this I was also teaching a unit on Cyberbullying to my new middle school students. Which was one of those interesting coincidences.

I'd read a few of the parts of this before. Overall, it was an informative read. I found parts of it amusing, parts disturbing, parts a bit of an overreaction. But then, I've got no horse in this race - I don't really care to mark books as no-because-of-author and I've only vaguely followed all the drama as it's gone on around me.

Review: 419


419
419 by Will Ferguson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This took me a long time to read. It's more like a 3.5 star read.

I would have had really high expectations for this, as it won an award over Ru, a book I read and adored. But then a group of people read it just before me and reading their comments lowered my expectations a lot and I think that helped. It was a good book - interesting, about topics I'm interested in, incredibly moving at times. But, the way the book was structured didn't work for me at all - there was a whole bit at the beginning with super short chapters that just didn't make any sense yet and then at one point the story shifted and was only about one character for too long at a time. A better balance of when he told each character's story would have strengthened the book for me. I also thought the sentences, especially the dialogue, were a bit clunky at times.

Hopefully I'll come back and update this after I have a chance to look at what I highlighted on my Kindle.

Review: Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth


Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth
Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth by Reza Aslan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Usually when I bemoan the lack of exciting sci-fi options in real life, I'm thinking along the lines of the hover cars from The Jetsons, but this book made me wish that there was some way to be a fly on the wall of someone else's brain. What would it be like to read this as a Christian? A Jew? A Muslim?

This atheist quite liked the book. The only real problem I had with it is more with myself - I have no idea how to evaluate the possible validity of the claims he makes, though the notes certainly suggested he's well-read (and I have a huge Kindle complaint - why not link endnotes to the end of the chapter they relate to? It'd be super easy and I'd rather read them then.)

It took me a while to plow through this, but not because I wasn't enjoying it, though it didn't compel me to pick it up right.damn.now.

Review: Stoner


Stoner
Stoner by John Edward Williams

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Stoner was fascinating. I'm startled that I loved something so much that six months ago I'd not so much as heard of.

I loved the first third of the novel - it was so quiet and contemplative. I found the characters easy to empathize with. I thought the exploration of the urbanization of America illustrated well in Stoner. The marital and university conflicts were interesting, especially that the reader was left to try and guess what made Edith do the things she does and how Stoner can't see that Lomax sees himself in Walker and that drives part of his fury.

Stoner's relationship with his daughter was tragic. That he wouldn't fight his wife over the happiness of his child struck me as incredibly sad.

The ending is quite a punch to the gut.

Review: The Testament of Mary


The Testament of Mary
The Testament of Mary by Colm Tóibín

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



The idea here is awesome, execution not so much. I was just starting to get into this version of Mary when the story was over. I'd have liked a whole lot more.

Hash Songs - The Basics

The Basics

Blessing the Hares
Bless these hares,
Bless this trail,
Copus no catch us,
Ajoshi no shoot us,
Dogus no bite us,
Shiggy please shag us,
Coitus no-interuptus,
Etc.

The Hairs ("The Mayor of Bayswater") 
And the hairs... (and the hares) 
And the hairs... (and the hares) 
And the hairs of her dickey di-do hung down to her knees..... 
One black one, one white one, and one with a little shite on, 
And one with a little light on, to show us the way. 

She's not a great looker, but everyone took 'er 
You'd need a coal miner to find her vagina 
If she were my daughter I'd have them cut shorter 
She lived by the waterfront, with the waves lapping up and down her cunt 
She married an Italian, who was hung like a fucking stallion 
She divorced the Italian and married that stallion
I folded her lips back, and there found a six-pack 
I drank down that six-pack and put all the empties back
It always was hit-or-miss, could I find her clitoris 
I reached into her thing, and there found my class ring 
I flicked it, I licked it, I even drop kicked it 
She says that she's not a whore, but she bangs like a shithouse door 
The aroma it lingers, it smells like fish fingers 
She stayed in Seattle, and went down on cattle 
It'd take a brontosaurus to eat her clitoris 


S-H-I-T-T-Y T-R-A-I-L
Shitty trail (It sucked!),
Shitty trail (It really sucked!),
The motherfuckers laid a shitty trail.
I would rather ______ than run that shitty trail.

Virgins!
We have virgins, we have virgins,
At our hash! At our hash!
Gonna get them fucked up, 
Gonna get them fucked up,
Up the ass!
Up the ass!
 
Bye Bye Cherry
Back your ass against the wall,
Here I come, balls and all,
Bye, bye cherry.
 
Won't your mother be disgusted,
When she sees your cherry busted,
Bye, bye cherry.
 
Wrap your legs around a little tighter,
Can't you see my load is getting lighter,
So! Shake that ass and wiggle your tits,
Until my little pecker spits,
Cherry, bye bye.

Lips / Face / Head
Lips? Who said lips? I’ll take some of that – on my zipper/clitoris!
Face? Who said face? She can sit on my anytime, and the line starts here.
Head? Who said head? I’ll take some of that. And I did. And it was good.
And there was MUCH rejoicing. And then we fucked.
We fucked for hours, uprooting trees and shrubs and flowers and shit.
Like Vikings, with horns on our heads. ARRRR.
And then she licked my asshole.
It wasn’t fun, it wasn’t funny, it was AWESOME.
So I’m taking my wife, my dog and my football and I’m going home.
So fuck you, you fucking fucks.

You Are My Hash Shit
You are my hash shit, the Osan hash shit
For being stupid on trail today,
I have to hold it, until I pass it,
Will someone please take my hashshit away.
Drink it down, down, down, down...

FUCK OFF, YOU WANK 
Fuck off, you wank, fuck off, you wank,
Fuck off, you wank, fuck off.
Fuck off, you wank, fuck off, you wank,
Fuck off, you wank, fuck off.

Hashy Birthday
Hashy birthday, fuck you,
Hashy birthday, fuck you,
Hashy birthday, you asshole,
Hashy birthday, fuck you.
And may you whore…

Hash Songs - Short

Short Songs

Ou Est Le Papier?
A Frenchman went to the lavatory,
To have a jolly good shit. 
He took his pants and trousers down,
So that he could revel in it.
But when he reached for the paper,
He found that someone had been there before ...
Ou est le papier?
Ou est le papier?
Monsieur, monsieur,
Je fait manure.
Ou est le papier?

All Australians ...
 All Australians are born illegitimate, born illegitimate, born illegitimate
All Australians are born illegitimate, bastards through and through.

They aint got no birth certificate, birth certificate, birth certificate...

Father’s Day is a really sad holiday, really sad holiday, really sad holiday...

They don’t know just who their fathers are, who their fathers are, who their fathers are...

All Canadians wish they were Americans, wish they were Americans, wish they were Americans...

All Americans don't know geography, don't know geography, don't know geography...

Build a Bonfire
Build a bonfire, build a bonfire,
Put the Aussies on the top,
Put the Kiwis in the middle
And burn the bloody lot.
Do Re Mi

Dough, the stuff that buys me beer
Ray, the guy who serves me beer
Me, the guy who drinks the beer
Far, a long long way for beer
So, I'll have another beer
La, la la la la la beer
Tea, no thanks I'm drinking beer
Which brings us back to
Down, down, down down
Little Brown Mouse
Oh, the liquor was spilled on the barroom floor
And the bar was closed for the night
When out of his hole crept a little brown mouse
And he sat in the pale moonlight
 He lapped up the liquor on the barroom floor
And back on his haunches he sat
And all night long you could hear him roar
"BRING ON THE GODDAM CAT!!!"
 Well the cat came out and they had a little spat,
And the cat ate up on the mouse.
And the moral of the story isssssssssss
You can't drink liquor on the house!
With a mouse!
 Drink it down down down down...
Beer Run
B-double E double R U-N beer run
B-double E double R U-N beer run
 all we need is a ten and five-er,
a car and key and a sober driver.
 B-double E double R U-N beer run.

FINGER IN YOUR BEER
How would, you like, my finger in your ear?
How would, you like, my finger in your ear?
Not fucking likely! Not fucking likely! Not fucking likely!
 
How would, you like, my finger in your rear?
How would, you like, my finger in your rear?
Not fucking likely! Not fucking likely! Not fucking likely!
 
How would, you like, my finger in your beer?
How would, you like, my finger in your beer?
Not fucking likely! Not fucking likely! Not fucking likely!
GLORIOUS, VICTORIOUS
Beer, beer, beer, beer
Beer, beer, beer, beer
Drunk last night,
Drunk the night before,
Gonna get drunk tonight,
Like I've never been drunk before,
Cause when I'm drunk I'm as happy as can be,
Cause we're all part of the Hash House family.
 
Oh the Hash Family
Is the best family
To ever Come over
From Old Germany.
There's the High Hash Drunks
There's the Low Hash Drunks
There's the Asian Drunks
And the other damn drunks.
 CHORUS:
Singing glorius,
Victorious!
Hey!!!
One keg of beer for the four of us.
Singing Glory be to God that there are no more of us,
Cause one of us could drink it all alone
Damn near, pass the beer, to the rear, of the Hash House Harriers!
THE HASH HOUSE HARRIERS 
 Their drinking is compulsive,
Their running is convulsive,
They're morally repulsive-
The Hash House Harriers!
 
Their flatulence is rude an'
Their genitals protrude when
They're running in the nude in
The Hash House Harriers!
 
They're always shiggy-tracking
From constantly bushwhacking.
Intelligence they're lacking.
The Hash House Harriers!
 Duh-duh-duh-duh-down-down
Duh-duh-duh-duh-down-down
Duh-duh-duh-duh
Duh-duh-duh-duh
Duh-duh-duh-duh-down-down!
Someone’s In The Kitchen With Dinah
Dinah, won't you blow me,
Dinah, won't you blow me,
Dinah, won't you blow my horn?
 Dinah, won't you blow me,
Dinah, won't you blow me,
Dinah, won't you blow my horn?
 
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah,
Someone's in the kitchen, I know,
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah,
Humpin' like a dynamo.
 (alternate verse)
Someone's in my sister's vagina,
Someone's in my sister, I know,
Someone's in my sister's vagina,
Humpin' like a dynamo.
Rich Young Dumb Nyphomaniac
Well welcome everybody to my place
You can pull up a chair or you can sit on my face
We got everything we need,
the only thing that we lack
is a rich young dumb nymphomaniac
 Chorus
I wanna rich youg dumb nymphomaniac
To drive me around in her cadillac
If she's not down on her knees she will be flat on her back
I wanna rich youg dumb nymphomaniac

 we'll give her great bigtits and a little bitty ass
a fucking machine that never runs out of gas
a body like nobody's ever seen before
and she recently inherited a liquor store
 Chorus
 well she doesn't wanna marry and she doesn't wanna fight
she doesn't give a shit if I stay out all night
If I bring home another woman she just gives me a smile
and we take off all our clothes and then we fuck in a pile
 Chorus
 we'll make her three feet tall
so she stands about here
with a flat spot on her head
so I can rest my beer
 Chorus
Leprosy
Leprosy, all my skin is falling off of me.
I'm not half the man I used to be.
Oh, how did I get leprosy?
 
Syphilis, it all started with a simple kiss.
Now it even hurts to take a piss.
Oh why did I get syphilis?
 
Why her box was sick I don't know, she wouldn't say.
Now my dripping dick won't get thick, now I long for yesterday ....

OUR LAGER
Our lager,
Which art in barrels;
Hallowed be thy drink;
Thy will be drunk,
At home as it is in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head.
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not into incarceration;
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the Beer,
The Bitter, and the Lager,
Forever and ever.
On-on!

TWENTY TOES
There's a game called twenty toes,
It's played all over town.
The women play with ten toes up,
The men with ten toes down, down, down, down....

Sing a Song of Syphilis

A penis full of pus.
Four and twenty pox scabs,
Waiting to be bust.
And when her legs were opened,
What a sight to see:
Ozzy gray-green matter,
All running with the pee!

Sex Is Boring
Sex is boring, sex is boring,
Pain is fun, pain is fun.
Gonna cut my fingers off, gonna cut my fingers off,
One by one. One by one.

Now your time has come.

The Moose Song
When I was a young lad I used to like girls,
I'd play with their titties and fondled their curls,
'Till my lady ran off with a lowlife named Bruce,
Now I've never been treated that way by a moose.

Chorus:
 Moose, moose, I love a moose,
I've never had anything quite like a moose,
My life's been exciting, 
My women've been loose,
But nothing compares to the love of a moose.
 
 
Now when I'm in need for a very good lay,
I go to the closet and pull out some hay,
I open the window and spread it around,
'Cause moose always come when there's hay on the ground.
 
Well gorillas are fine for a Saturday night,
And lions and tigers, they put up a fight,
But it just ain't the same when you slams your caboose
As the feeling you gets when you hump with a moose.
 
Now I've made it with all kinds of beasties with hair,
I'd do it with snakes if their fangs were not there,
I've made it with walrus, two ducks and a goose,
But I've never had anything quite like a moose.
 
Now that I'm old and spent all my years,
I'll have you to know that I shed no tears,
While I lay by the fire with a glass of Mateus,
Playing hide the salami with Melva the Moose.

Hash Virgin Serenade(To: Ball of Kerrymuir)
Four and twenty virgins,
Came out to this old hash,
And when the hash was over,
There were four and twenty less.

Chorus
Singing, balls to your partner,
Arse against the wall
.If ye canna get laid at this old hash,
Ye'll never get laid at all.
 
This fine young virgin she was there,
She had drank a bit too much,
Showing us her titties,
But sayin' we couldna touch.
 
This cocky virgin he was there,
Drinking Old Milwaukee's Best,
Showing the girls his tiny dick,
The girls they weren't impressed.
 
This other virgin she was there,
Talkin' 'bout givin' head,
But when it came to swallowin',
She would spit instead.
 
This other virgin he was there,
Askin' 'bout toe sucks,
The harriettes frowned and then they said,
"What do you want for three bucks?"
 
The other virgin SHE was there,
Givin' us all a great view,
While dancing on the table,
She said she'd do the crew.
 
This other virgin HE was there,
Getting drunk as he could be
,And by the time the circle broke up
,He'd pissed a gallon of pee.
 
This fine young virgin she was there,
With legs all firm and tan,
Her shorts rode up her ass so tight,
They squeaked whenever she ran.

The Engineer Song
An engineer told me before he died, Ah-hum,Ah-hum,

An engineer told me before he died,I have no reason to believe he lied,
Ah-hum, titty-bum, titty-bum, titty-bum,Ah-hum, titty-bum, titty-bum, titty-bum.
 He had a wife with a cunt so wide,Ah-hum, Ah-hum,
He had a wife with a cunt so wide,Ah-hum, ah-hum.
He had a wife with a cunt so wide,That she could never be satisfied,
Ah-hum, titty-bum, titty-bum, titty-bum,Ah-hum, titty-bum, titty-bum, titty-bum.
 So he built a bloody great wheel, ...Two balls of brass and a prick of steel, ...
 The balls of brass he filled with cream, ...And the whole fucking issue was driven by steam, ...
 He tied her to the leg of the b...Tied her hands above her head, ...
 There she lay demanding a fuck, ...He shook her hand and wished her luck, ...
 'Round and 'round went the bloody great wheel, ...In and out went the prick of steel, ...
 Up and up went the level of steam, ...Down and down went the level of cream, ...
 'Till at last the maiden cri...Enough, enough, I'm satisfi...
 Now we come to the tragic bit, ...There was no way of stopping it, ...
 She was split from ass to tit, ...And the whole fucking thing was covered in shit, ...
 It jumped off her, it jumped on him, ...And then it buggered their next of kin, ...
 It jumped on an uptown bus, ...And the mess it made caused quite a fuss, ...
 The last time, Sir, that prick was seen, ...It was over in England fucking the Queen, ...
 There is a moral to the story I tell, ...If you see it coming better run like hell, ...
 Nine months later a child was born, ...With two brass balls and a bloody great horn, ...

Irian Jaya
(To: Mull of Kintyre)
 Far have I traveled and much have I seen,
Had blow jobs from Bancis and fucked thingsobscene,
Been crippled by herpes and things far more dire
,But if you want a blow job go to Irian Jaya.
 Chorus
Irian Jaya,To be gobbled by natives is what I desire,
They practice on blowpipes in Irian Jaya.
 
Been rogered in Rio and poked in Peru
Been massaged in Manila and then had a screw,
Been fucked in Llanelli by a Welsh male boys'choir,
But for the height of perversion go to Irian Jaya.
 
Met a girl in the jungle with a bone through hernose,
Cunt like a mantrap and strong I suppose,
Bush like a yardbroom that's made out of wire,
So be careful of pussy in Irian Jaya.
 
Oh the skirt she was wearing was made out ofgrass,
It only just covered her sweet little ass,
I felt an erection getting higher and higher
,As I followed that lady from Irian Jaya.
 
She put down her basket, took hold of my tool,
Pulled back the foreskin and started to drool,
Curled her lips round it, and sir I'm no liar,
They still have headhunters in Irian Jaya.

At The Gangbang
The Gangbang, oh yes I will
Because a gangbang gives me such a thrill.
When I was younger and in my prime,
I used to gangbang all the time.
But now I'm older and turning grey,
I only gangbang twice a day.

My God How the Money Rolls In!
 My father makes book on the corner
My mother makes illicit gin
My sister sells kisses to sailors
My God how the money rolls in
Chorus:
 Rolls in, rolls in,
My God how the money rolls in, rolls in
Rolls in, rolls in,
My God how the money rolls in.
 
My mother’s a bawdyhouse keeper
Every night when the evening grows dim
She hangs out a little red lantern
My God how the money rolls in.
 
My cousin’s a Harley Street surgeon
With instruments long, short and thin
He only does one operation
My God how the money rolls in.
 
My sister’s a barmaid in Sydney,
For a shilling she’ll strip to the skin.
She’s stripping from morning to midnight,
My God how the money rolls in.
 
My brother-in-law is a Hasher,
Who wanders around the hash bar,
He’s picking up business for sister,
My God how the money rolls in.
 
My brother’s a poor missionary,
He saves fallen women from sin.
He’ll save you a blonde for a guinea,
My God how the money rolls in.
 
My sister-in-law is a Hasher,
She lays trails year out and year in,
But when she lays hounds in the bushes,
My God how the money rolls in.
 
My Grandad sells cheap prophylactics,
And punctures the teats with a pin.
For Grandma gets rich from abortions,
My God how the money rolls in.
 
Uncle Joe is a registered plumber,
His business in holes and in tin.
He’ll plug up your hole for a tanner,
My God how the money rolls in.
 
Aunt Mary makes deals with the milkman,
The mailman and newsboy named Ben.
For a piece of pie and Aunt Mary,
My God how the money rolls in.
 
Uncle Tommy was once in a prison,
Where he was a joy to the men,
Now he bends over for business,
My God how the money rolls in.
 
Aunt Joan keeps a girl’s seminary,
Teaching young girls to begin.
She doesn’t say where they will finish,
My God how the money rolls in.
 
Uncle Harry is carving out candles,
From wax that is surgically soft.
He hopes it’ll fill up the gap,
If ever his business is off.
 
I’ve lost all me cash on the horses,
I’m sick from the illicit gin.
I’m falling in love with me sister,
My God what a mess I am in.
 
My aunt keeps a girl’s seminary,
Teaching young girls to begin,
She doesn’t say where they will finish,
My God how the money rolls in.
 
I’ve shares in the very best companies,
In tramways, tobacco, and tin,
And brothels in Rio de Janeiro,
My God how the money rolls in.
 
My brother Jim whittles out candles,
From wax that is exceptionally soft,
He says it will come in real handy,
If ever his business falls off.
 
I’ve lost my way off of the hash trail,
I can’t find the beer at the end.
I’ve got to spot flour by nightfall,
My God will you please let this end!

The S&M Man
Who can take his bicycle,
Take away the seat,
Put his girlfriend on it,
Ride her down a bumpy street?
CHORUS:
 The S & M man, Oh, the S & M man,
The S & M man because he mixes it with love,
And makes the hurt feel good.
The hurt feel good.
 
Who can take a hammer,
Shove it up her twat,
Move it back and forth,
‘Til he finds her G-spot,
 
Who can take a hammer,
Wave it overhead,
And slam it on his pecker,
‘Til he wishes he were dead?
 
Who would use machinery,
To masturbate at work,
Rip off his left testis,
And pretend it didn’t hurt?
 
Who can take a glass rod,
Shove it up his prick,
Put it on the table,
And smash it with a brick?
 
Who can take a Catholic Priest,
Bend him over the pew,
Fuck him up the ass,
Till he screams that he’s a Jew?
 
Who can take a puppy,
Hold it by the ears,
Fuck it in the ass,
Until it sheds those puppy tears?

 
Who can take a Harriette,
Lay her on the bed,
Look between her thighs,
then masturbate instead.

Wild Rover Song

CHORUS: O I’m a Rover seldom sober, I’m a Rover wild and free,
It’s when I’m drinkin, I’m always thinkin, I should be hashin where ere I please

Though the night be dark as dungeon, not a start shines up above,
I will be guided without stumble to a vessel of beer I love!
CHORUS
As I gazed up through the bar room, kneeling gently on the stone,
I see there waitin ‘pon the counter, a grand vessel of beer I love!
CHORUS
The barman blocked me, to his misfortune; I laid him cold across the floor,
I sauntered over to my vessel, drank of the beer I truly love!
CHORUS
Until at last, my beer was empty, and a tear rolled down my face…
With no beer waitin I must be roving, so ON-ON to another place!!!
CHORUS

Seoul Hash House Harriers’ Song (lyrics by former SHHH GM Kimchi Marine)

Way down south in Yeongdeungpo
That’s the place I want to go!
Shiba-shiba haba yes!
Suck a chaji, maybe so.
 
Further north than old Pusan
Get your ass for a thousand won.
Catch the clap and you never go
On on to To-ki-yo!
 
In the war-torn town of Toko-ri
Mama-sans they make whoppee.
They smell of garlic and they’re full of lice
But the pom-pom is very nice.
 
You pick up a girl on Korean street
You ask how much? She says you speak.
She takes you out, you’re wined and dined,
You end up by going blind.
 
Korean huts are low and flat.
You squirm and crawl like a Chesire cat.
The mama-sans are much too fat
So you blow your stones on a bamboo mat.
 
Now that’s the end of my tale of woe.
I’m off again to Yeongdeungpo!
Twenty-eight days I’ll get no less
But shiba-shiba haba YES!!

Korean Pie
Lyrics by Former SHHH GM Timber Balls

A long, long time ago I can still remember how that Itaewon could make me smile
and I knew if I had some cash, that I could land some handsome snatch
and surely I’d be happy for a while
but Bush and Rumsfield made me shiver
with every decree they delivered, bad news in formation,
There’d be no fornication
I cried outloud “O MY GOD”, when I heard that it was now outlawed
I used to touch her deep inside, before, the boom boom, died. So…

CHORUS:
Bye, bye Missus Kim don’t you cry,
No more boom-boom, no more drinky, no more sucky me dry.
them good ol’ boys walk by , a tear in their eye,
singin’ now I need to zip up my fly…. now I need to zip up my fly

Did you know that way back then
All the young GI’s were doused in sin,
And the MP’s didn’t know,
and do you believe that hooker hill,
was where you’d go to get a thrill
and Mrs. Kim would teach you how to dance real slow?
Well I know that you’re in love with quim
But the FOX news story was quite dim,
you and Juicy kicked off your shoes
then your butt was on the news.
You are a lonely teenage bronkin’ buck
with weekend pass and the need to fuck
but now your just shit out of luck,
the day, the boom boom died. I started singin…
CHORUS

Now for fifty years they were on their own
And Mama-san sat on her barstool throne,
And that’s how they wanted it to be,
And the girls were always hot and lean,
With a young GI sitting in between
and Mrs. Kim would lock the door …for a feee
But, the leaders back in Washingtin
Are clearly right and without sin,
Your weekend plans took a turn
When the verdict returned
And while GIs bored and run amuck
Go ahead and drink till you upchuck
As long as you don’t try to fuck
the day, the boom boom died. I started singin…
CHORUS

Helter Skelter in the summer swelter
The bar’s locked up like a fallout shelter,
0100 AM is comin faaaaaaaasssst,
The camera shows MP’s walking past,
If they come in my ass is grass
but Mrs Kim showed me how to get out real fast.
Well, the knocking came way too damn soon
My hard-on would be left in ruins,
I jumped out the window
I hope that MP’s slow.
I am a horny GI bronkin’ buck
But now it costs too damn much to fuck
I guess Im just shit out of luck,
the day, the boom boom died. I started singin…
CHORUS

And in there they were all sucking face
The MP’s probably don’t know this place,
I guess Ill have a go again,
So Jill was nimble , and jack came quick
But now he’s lookin at an MP stick
So I guess my hand will be my only friend…
So while Jack was being beaten down
The girl redressed in evening gown, she say
No more GI tonight
I guess Canadians are alright.
And while I sulk into the night
I know you won’t get none tonight
I guess my hand will be alright,
the day, the boom boom died. I started singin…
CHORUS

I met a girl who made me smile, and I paid her to stay there a while
But she just turned and closed the door
I tried them all and now im cursed, my balls are just about to burst
I want to bang my head into a wall
And in the bars I hear them banging
Girls are moaning bedposts clanging, but I will not be pokin’,
I feel like I am broken
the ménage a trios I had before, way back in 2004
I yearn for all those days of yore, the day, the boom boom, died. So…
CHORUS

Hash Songs - Harrier vs. Harriette

Harriers vs. Harriettes
Nipples, nipples, N-I-P-P-L-E-S;
Wiggly Jiggly, without you there'd be no breasts!
Lick them, flick them, play with them too,
That's where babies go to get food!
Oh nipples, nipples,You're what make the boobies fun!
 
Scrotum, Scrotum.S-C-R-O-T-U-M.
Mangy, grungy,S-C-R-O-T-U-M.
Scrotum, scrotum,Covered with hair.
What would we do if you weren't there?
Oh scrotum, scrotum,It's what we keep our gonads in!

Cock / Cunt
I LIKE COCK 
I like cock, I like cock, 
See how they rise, See how they rise,
They fit so nicely and feel so grand, 
They come in all sizes, all shapes and brands,
There's nothing finer than making them stand,
'Cause I like cock, I like cock.  

 I LIKE CUNT 
I like cunt, I like cunt, 
Ain't it cute, Ain't it cute?
 Up against railings I've often stood, 
Fucking young ladies and doing them good, 
It's so much better than pulling your pud, 
'Cause I like cunt, I like cunt. 

The Kitchen
MALES: 
Thank God she finally shut-up,
she's always fuck'n bitching.
So drink that BEER get out of here
and get back in the Kitchen! 
FEMALES: 
She likes it in the kitchen,
She likes it in the kitchen,
She likes it in the kitchen,
And kitchen is code for butt!


MASTURBATION SONG
WOMEN
Last night I laid in bed and masturbated,
It felt so good, I knew it would.
Last night I laid in bed and masturbated,
It felt so nice, I did it twice.
First, I gave it the short strokes,
Around and round, on my mound.
Then I gave it the long strokes,
Way in and out, way in and out.
One finger, two fingers, three fingers, four,
Vibrators, dildos, so happy but so sore,
Some people think that fornication's very very grand,
But for satisfaction, I'd rather use my hand!
MEN
Last night I stayed up late and masturbated,
It felt so good, I knew it would.
Last night I stayed up late to masturbate,
It felt so nice, I did it twice.
You should have seen me on the short strokes,
It felt so grand, I used my hand,
And you should have seen me on the long strokes,
It felt so neat, I used my feet.
Shake it, break it, beat it on the floor,
Smash it, bash it, thrust it through the door,
Some people seem to think that fornication's grand,
But for all-around enjoyment, I prefer to use my hand!

Whip It Out / Take Me Out

 Whip it out at the ball game 
Wave it round at the crowd

Coz it's one, two, you've covered in goo 
At the old ball game.

Take Me Out For a Good Ball - Girls
 Take me out for a good ball,
Lay me down on the ground.
Give me your penis and three stiff whacks.
If you come first I won't ever come back.
It's shoot, shoot, shoot for the hole dear,
I can't believe you're so lame!
From the front, back, side I don't care,
You're a damn bad lay!

 Divorce Game - boys
Make me out as the bad guy,
Trash my name in the croud.
Tell them that I don't pay child support,
my breath is bad, and my dick is too short.
Cause it's all my fault for the whole thing,
the guy is always to blame...
Take my car, house and half of my pay,
at the Dee-vorse game!

Harrier Taunt

Oh we wish he wasn't hung like a mosquito,
Tiny's what he truly seems to be-e-e,
For if he wasn't hung like a mosquito,
He'd surely get a lot more play from me!!

Harriette Taunt

Oh they wish they were a hasher with a wiener,
That is what they'd truly like to be.
For if they were a hasher with a wiener,
They wouldn't have to stop and squat to pee.

Hash Songs - For Him

For Him
It’s A Small DIck
Well it isn't long and it isn't thick, 
It gets hard too slow and it cums too quick,
It gers lost in her twat,
But it's all that he's got,
It's a small, small, dick.
 It's a small dick after all,
It's a small dick after all,
Always limp from alcohol,
It's a small, small, dick!

Who Needs Sex?
Who needs sex? Who needs sex?
It’s no fun. It’s no fun.
He grunts and he gasps like he’s on a long run,
HE’s in for a minute then squirts on your bum,
HE falls asleep as soon as he’s done,
So who needs sex? Who needs sex?

Hash Songs - For Her

For Her
She’s All Right
She’s all right, she’s all right,
She’s little bit flat-chested, but she’s all right
Her Left Tit
Her left tit hangs down to her right tit
Her right tit hangs down to her knee
If her left tit did equal her right tit
She'd still get a down-down from me
Drink it down, down, down, down...

The Wiggle of Her Ass
Well, the wiggle of her ass would make a dead man cum,
And the nipples on her tits are as big as my thumb,
She's a mean motherfucker, she's a great cocksucker,
She's a harriette!
O, Harriette!
O, harriette, you're beautiful,
with freshly shaven pubes!
With nipples so erect and hard
on a pair of lucious boobs.
 
O, harriette, o harriette,
please spread your legs for me.
And crown my wood
with something good
before you have to peeeeeeee.

Hash Songs - For Either

For Either

Meet the Hashers
Hashers, meet the hashers
They're the biggest drunks in history
From the hash of Phuket
They're the leaders in debauchery
Half minds, trailing shiggy through the years
Watch them, as they down a lot of beer
Down-down, down-down down-down.

S/He's the Meanest
He's the meanest,
He sucks the horse's penis,
He's the meanest,
He's a horse's ass.
All he does is pound it,
Ever since he found it,
He's the meanest,
He's a horse's ass.
He's always pissing on us,
He's rotten and dishonest,
He's the meanest,
He's a horse's ass.

Why Was S/He Born So Beautiful?
Why was he born so beautiful,
Why was he born at all.
He's no fucking use to anyone,
He's no fucking use at all.
He might be a joy to his mother,
But he's a pain in the asshole to me!
Drink it down, down, down, down…

S/He Ought
He ought to be thoroughly pissed on,
He ought to be publicly shot,
He ought to be tied to a dunny
And left there to fester and rot.
Drink it down, down, down, down…

True Blue
Here's to ...., s/he's true blue,
He's a Hasher, through and through,
He's a Pisspot, so they say,
Tried to get to heaven but went the other way!
Drink it down down down down…
Heres to Brother/Sister Hasher(s)
Here's to brother hasher, Bother hasher, brother hasher
Here's to brother hasher, May he chug-a-lug.
He's happy, he's jolly,
He's fucked up by golly,
Here's to brother hasher,
May he chug-a-lug.

So drink motherfucker,
Drink motherfucker,
Drink motherfucker,
Drink motherfucker,
Here's to brother hasher,
May he chug-a-lug.

Soldier Song
Asshole, asshole, a soldier I will be
To piss, to piss, two pistols on my knee
For cunt, for cunt, for country and my queen
Asshole, asshole, asshole, asshole, a soldier I will be
Drink it down, down, down, down...

Three Big Beers
Three big beers, Three big beers
See how they foam, see how they foam
You ran through shiggy all around trail
Then some hasher told evil tales
So now you must drink down your ale
It’s three big beers, three big beers
Down down down, down down down….

All Beers Bright and Beautiful
All beers bright and beautiful
All down-downs great and small
All ales pale with hops a-full
You’re going to drink them all
Each little bottle opened
Each bitter tasty zing
You will guzzle down the lot
And then we shan’t have to sing
Down-down-down-down-down-down-down….

Fuck a Duck
Fuck a duck, a female duck,
Screw a baby kangaroo.
Finger-bang an orangutan,
Let an elephant do you.
Fell the penis of an eel,
Whack the asshole of a yak.
Masturbate with a gnu,
And that will bring you back to,
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck...

Mrs. Murphy
Take it by the hand Mrs Murphy,
It only weighs a quarter of a pound,
Its got hair around it’s neck like a turkey,
And it comes when you stroke it up and down,
Down, down, down...


U-G-L-Y, you ain’t got no alibi,
You’re ugly, you’re ugly,
Your father says you’re ugly!
D-A-D-D-Y, you don’t even know that guy,
Your daddy, your daddy,
Your daddy says you’re ugly!
U-N-C-L-E, he might be your real daddy,
Your uncle, your uncle,
Your uncle says you’re ugly!

Review: I Dream of Zenia with the Bright Red Teeth


I Dream of Zenia with the Bright Red Teeth
I Dream of Zenia with the Bright Red Teeth by Margaret Atwood

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This short story encapsulates why I feel that I just don't really get short stories. I liked it well enough but nothing really... happened. Granted, I had no idea until seconds ago that it's about the characters from The Robber Bride, which I haven't read yet. Perhaps it'll be more interesting to me once I've read that? Anyway, it was good and I found the bit with the dog bite rather amusing.

Review: Zombie


Zombie
Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I read this because it's short and I thought it would fit nicely into a Halloween-theme. And yeah, clearly I didn't recall any blurbs I might have read about it, because I expected an actual zombie, rather than the ramblings of a serial killer. So, horrifying, rather than spooky, but it was fine. It read a bit like YA except I suppose in the subject matter. It kept my attention and I thought she did a really good job with the narrator's voice. That said, this was rough to read because of just that.

Review: One Lucky Vampire


One Lucky Vampire
One Lucky Vampire by Lynsay Sands

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



I wanted to like this more, but it sort of bored me. Though 2-stars isn't bad, in my mind, for some vamp porn, because I generally rate the good ones 3-stars. But yeah, somehow there was no sense of urgency in a series of attempted murders and even the romance felt like it was dialed in. Perhaps I've just read too many of these.

Review: The Wayfinders


The Wayfinders
The Wayfinders by Wade Davis

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



With a few university evolutionary archaeology courses under my belt and an interest in cultures of the world that's led to a fair amount of anthropological reading, the first two chapters of this, while good, felt like a review of things I already knew. After that it got a bit more interesting as it covered ground I was unfamiliar or at least less familiar with. There were a few points that had me seeing things in a new way - like the suggestion that paleolithic cave art could be a nostalgia for the days before humans split off from animals into something new.

Review: Sweetness in the Belly


Sweetness in the Belly
Sweetness in the Belly by Camilla Gibb

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



So, so good. The history, the relationships, everything was well written and fascinating. Also extremely moving. I learned so much about Ethiopia and it was an interesting insight into Islam as well.

The description of council flats was easy for me - I can picture all of that. That was part of my landscape when I lived in Edinburgh, which was also at the time having a immigrant/refuge issue (in that many Scots wanted the ability to finally be Scottish with their new parliament, but at the same time Scotland was getting an increasing number of refuges that had previously stayed more in England or at least in big cities and that was all changing.)

The friendship between Lilly and Amina made total sense to me. While being an expat isn't the same as being a refuge by far, the idea of a fast, tight friendship coming out of almost nowhere and happening really fast, based on only a few similarities, is totally my experience with expat friendships in a place where people cycle in and out in a year or two.

I thought the relationship between Lilly and Aziz made a lot of sense. It wasn't just that Aziz was her first lover, but also that she broke so many of her own religious rules to make the space in her life/mind for Aziz. To me that's the part that was really huge and to have lost him so immediately after, to have that possible guilt over having tainted him with her connection with Selassie, I can totally see why she held on to that love.

I liked learning about this particular brand of Islam with its saints. It was interesting to compare that with what I know of Christianity taking in local customs and meshing with them. I also loved the insight on how the various Muslim refuges all praying together was moving things away from traditions and cultures and to a more fundamentalist view.

I really liked Lilly as a character. I liked how distant and ghost-like she felt. I liked her interactions with those around her as she sought her place in a series of worlds that were never quite her own. I liked how she slowly grew to think of how she felt about her parents and the lifestyle she had with them - how Islam influenced her thoughts about them and how her opinions softened as she got older and realized how complex and difficult the world can be.

Also, I really hope that farenji is where the Star Trek Ferengi came from.

Review: The Works of Edgar Allen Poe - Volume 5


The Works of Edgar Allen Poe - Volume 5
The Works of Edgar Allen Poe - Volume 5 by Edgar Allan Poe

My rating: 0 of 5 stars



It appears I accidentally clicked on Volume 5 first, but how can I not love anything that starts with an essay about the philosophy of furniture and contains this line: "Yet I have heard fellows discourse of carpets with the visage of a sheep in reverie — “d’un mouton qui rêve” — who should not and who could not be entrusted with the management of their own moustachios."

Sure, between the furniture and the Romans besieging Jews it's not been at all what I expected, but so far it's wonderful.

What I ended up liking best about this volume was the anticipation of scary. Even if a given short story wasn't particularly spooky, I'd get all worked up expecting that it would be. At one point I was reading this in the Pyeongtaek train station and Wyatt scared the shit out of me when he arrived and touched my shoulder.

Unfortunately for me, then we hit the poetry bit. I liked The Raven but everything after was all downhill. The problem could be me: I'm not a poetry reader. I find that I can read it and find the rhythm and perhaps a line or a few together will make sense, but after that the poem tends to flow over me and make no sense overall. Since the last third of this volume was all poetry (or even worse, an essay about what makes real poetry), it ended up disappointing a fair bit.

That said, I do intend to try and read the first four volumes over the next four Octobers, so perhaps Poe will be redeemed for me at some point.

Also, that essay about furniture was pure win.

Review: MaddAddam


MaddAddam
MaddAddam by Margaret Atwood

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



So, so, so good.

I'm super sad that this trilogy is over, though this last book totally did wrap up everything incredibly well. I've loved Atwood's view of the future, especially the idea that it's all based on present day science. The Crakers become very interesting in this book, as are the discussions about them. I loved the relationship between Toby and Blackbeard. Zeb was also fascinating.

I love Atwood.

Review: The Iron Bridge


The Iron Bridge
The Iron Bridge by Anton Piatigorsky

My rating: 0 of 5 stars



While I was back in Canada, I spent a lot of time in bookstores. Not just because I wanted to, though I did, but also because the Indigo in Yorkdale is my mom and my meeting place of choice. One day I came across this book and was intrigued, but I didn't buy it. The next time I was there the display had changed and I couldn't find it again - a greyish book about dictators wasn't something the staff could help me find. But Goodreads has connected me to it again and I gave in to the one-click and got it.

Review: Be Still My Vampire Heart


Be Still My Vampire Heart
Be Still My Vampire Heart by Kerrelyn Sparks

After reading Flannery O'Connor and being incredibly depressed by her short stories, this was the perfect fluff reading. Vampires and Scotsmen in kilts and a happy ending.

Review: The Complete Stories


The Complete Stories
The Complete Stories by Flannery O'Connor

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



A Good Man Is Hard To Find and The Life You Save May Be Your Own were 5-star reads. In general, I liked all of the stories minus the ones that later went on to be part of Wise Blood, which I have to admit, I wasn't really all that fond of. I think had I read this collection more slowly, over large periods of time, I might have liked it more. It's a bit intense and depressing to read all at once, but so far that's just how I read on my Kindle. I found it interesting to compare The Geranium and Judgement Day, since they begin and end the collection and have the same plot outline - but the latter is far more grim. Overall, I feel like I learned quite a lot about a specific time period in the South that I know little about and enjoyed doing so, though at the end I felt a bit like I was just trying to plow through to the end.

Review: Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier


Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier
Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier by Neil deGrasse Tyson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



So, it's repetitive. Not an unexpected thing from a book of magazine articles and speeches. That fault it totally surpassed by the fact that I learned a lot, felt inspired, and now really, really want to reread the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.

Oh, and am I the only person who didn't realize Tang was an astronaut's drink?

Review: Still Life


Still Life
Still Life by Louise Penny

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I don't especially read a lot of mysteries. Sure, I devoured Agatha Christie when I was younger and I got really obsessed with Ian Rankin because he wrote about Edinburgh, but in general I'm not much of a mystery person.

I adored this. One thing I noted, which I thought might be unusual, is that so much of this book concentrated on grief and how people deal with it, rather than just on the crime/criminal. And I rather liked that Nicol didn't end up getting it by the end of the novel. And I found the town meeting where the police asked the locals to teach them about something they needed to know interesting - does that actually happen?

One thing that I did note was that I'd assumed that when the series continued, it would be about Gamache, not about Three Pines, right up until I read the sample chapter of the next book. And that makes me very happy because I fell in love with Three Pines and the people there.

Review: The Yellow Birds: A Novel


The Yellow Birds: A Novel
The Yellow Birds: A Novel by Kevin Powers

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



4.5 stars, really, since I did stay up until 3:30 reading this last night.

It's so beautiful and poetic in the writing, which contrasts so much with how hard a subject it was to read. I loved the way the two time periods went back and forth and that the ending really did surprise me quite a bit. I think I liked this one a bit more than Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, though they were close in terms of my love for them. Between these two and the non-fiction The Long Walk, I'm on a war streak.

Review: Infidel


Infidel
Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I am totally the right person to read Infidel, I suppose - an atheist with a real hard-on for travelling and life in other cultures.

When people talk about all the white male atheists being the only spokespeople, they need to direct people over here. Her path from Islam to non-belief is fascinating.

I found her take on Islam interesting, because it doesn't at all jibe with what I saw (at a distance, granted) in Malaysia and Indonesia at all. I wandered around in my low-cut tank tops and had not a single problem. So I don't think it's all of Islam, but since I'm pretty open to the idea that religion in general is bunk and leads to silliness, it works for me.

Plus, her life is just so interesting.

Review: Life of Pi


Life of Pi
Life of Pi by Yann Martel

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



The Life of Pi holds a special place in my heart because it was the first book we read when I started what we called Books & Brunch, but what was really either drunk or hungover people showing up late, talking graphically about the weekend shenanigans, a bit about the books, and turning green while eating their eggs. Our second book was After Dark by Murakami and one dude read a different book with the word Dark in the title and we didn't notice for about a half hour of discussion. I never did figure out what the island was supposed to represent.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I LOVED the Great Influenza. Read it while doing a round the world trip (Seoul - Italy - Accra - Lome - Toronto - Vancouver - back to Seoul) because it amused me to see the looks on people's faces when I went through customs. Swine flu was big at the time.

Review: Moo


Moo
Moo by Jane Smiley

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I read this too long ago to make for a good review, but what I do recall is that immediately upon finishing I sent it to my friend, Jas. She and I used to talk about how in high school we pictured ourselves at university sitting around in coffee shops talking philosophy and such (perhaps even wearing black turtlenecks) and then we got to university and... Well, it was underwhelming. Something about this book struck a chord with me at the time.

Review: The Blind Assassin


The Blind Assassin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I highlighted a lot of stuff I wanted to comment on in my Kindle. It's at home, but since we moved I don't have internet there. Hopefully I'll remember to come back and add more to this.

In the meantime, I loved this book. I loved that it had me thinking several things about who wrote the alternate stories or even who was with whom at various points in the story. I liked the fantasy bit well enough, but I loved the stories of Laura and Iris. I wish I'd read this sooner - I've had it since I lived in Scotland, which I know because I had it signed at a reading in Edinburgh when Oryx and Crake came out.
