Audiences have been eagerly anticipating the release of "The Governator: Rise of the Political Machine" since California voters cast Schwarzenegger in the starring role in October. But for all the fanfare, the film is essentially a B-movie driven by an absurd plot and punctuated by campy, simplistic dialogue dumbed down for the multiplex hordes. Read the complete review...

A google search on "blue duct tape" (don't ask me why) got me at places like Duct Tape Diva or beckybot designs photo gallery, or what about this :

"Do you crave deeper forms of bondage? Do you dream of being caught, secure and helpless? Endure intense periods of sensory deprivation where you are wrapped up tight, your eyes & ears covered, your mouth filled. Maybe only a part of your body is contained, or perhaps all your body....in rubber or leather or medical wrap...or maybe even in electrical Duct Tape"

Hehe, or what about The Duct Tape Practical Joker, well, you can always wear a DUCT TAPE PROFESSIONALTee Shirt

Another email I got :

Dear owner, moderators, and all members:

I first want you all to honestly know that I'm just passing through your
forum in my ongoing search to find help for my project, which is an
economic proposal to humanity that shows how we may be able to eliminate
poverty in every single nation. This will be my only message and I won't
be around to reply to anyone, as I, little by little, one by one, move
on to other Yahoo! Groups with this message, as well as to the web sites
of media organizations, colleges, religious and non-profit
organizations, think tanks, governments, U.N. organizations, NGO's, etc.
and so on, with a similar message (I started doing this on November 14,
2003).

Here are just some of the main reasons why, and the kinds of help that I
need:

(1) I'm a senior citizen who wants many people, organizations, and
governments around the world to at least know about my proposal to
humanity before I die so that it will have a chance, if worthy and
useful enough, to help humanity and not simply disappear from view once
I'm not around any more; as I write this my vision is still a one-person
project, which I mention in the proposal (the link to which is found
below).

(2) I'm looking for individuals, organizations, and nations who after
reading my proposal might be inspired to help lead, organize, and
promote the project.

(3) I'm hoping that many people will inform their families, friends,
associates, political leaders, and local media organizations about the
project and its web site.

(4) I'm hoping that many media organizations and journalists will write
and speak of it in order to let their particular audiences know of it.

I speak of these things, and many others, in the proposal itself.

Besides posting this letter here, I have also put this item in the
"Links" section, if it was available to do so. If it wasn't, and only
the moderators are allowed to place items there, I hope they feel that
this one is worthwhile to list for me:

==================================
"AN ECONOMIC PROPOSAL TO HUMANITY"

"It's a very practical, ethical, and spiritual economic plan for all of
humanity to come together on and embrace" in order to, finally, once and
for all, completely eliminate poverty in every single nation in the
world.

http://www.PublicAndPrivateEnterprise.org
=========================================

I hope that many people and organizations with web sites, home pages,
and blogs will post the above item on their "Links" pages -- or compose
their own lead-in comments to the link.

Well, hehe, I did.

and another sunday...


1. The first car I ever drove was a...

Dunno, I was fourteen and way too drunk to remember, nah,... kiddin'. It was a volvo actually, in '77 but the car was very old already when I bought it and I only kept it for a few weeks becouse of "overhead costs"<-- read : too many repaires to keep it driving.

2. My dream car is...

An Aston Martin

3. Can you drive a vehicle with a stick shift? If yes, how long did it take you to learn?

Here in the Netherlands every one who has a driving licence learned how to and most cars are equipped with a stick shift. I had both and do prefere an automatic gear though.

4. What is the fastest you have ever driven?

250 km/hour with my jaguarXJR (currently I don't have a car btw), many times. Germany has some excellent roads to do this and is just next door.

5. How many people you have crammed into a vehicle at one time?

One time in the 70's we went to a beach party with 11 people in my "Leleke Eend" (a little van type car), I found a picture of that model here : CitroenCV6 AK

News in the Guardian : George Soros, one of the world's wealthiest financiers and philanthropists, has declared that getting George Bush out of the White House has become the "central focus" of his life, and he has put more than $15m (£9m) of his own money where his mouth is.
Mr Soros argues that the Bush White House is guided by a "supremacist ideology" that is leading it to abuse US power in its dealings with the rest of the world, and creating a state of permanent warfare.


I agree with George Soros in those matters, to be honest I don't understand why the American people didn't already impeach this person years ago.

1. How many hours of sleep do average per day/night?

Not much at all, sometimes I even forget it and stay up for two, three days.

2. Are you a bed or blanket hog?

Dunno, I don't really understand that question.

3. Are you a sleepwalker?

I have been known to sleepwalk yes, to the fridge.

4. Do you have recurring dreams?

I have all kinds of dreams, also recurring ones I guess yes.

5. Do you talk in your sleep?

This also, but not often but yes it has happened.

Another weekend. Great! no noise starting at half past 7 in the morning from the building constructors who are currently renovating the building I live in. Somehow all the stuff that makes a lot of noise like drilling and such have to be done as early as possible, at least, that's the idea I got lately. hehe, It's about that time now and I haven't even gone to bed yet.
last night I had one of those (many) nights that I start doing something, in this case some script modifications for the T-boat seedbank's website and forget the time. With all the work and being bussy with the THC Ministry the past few months there is a lot to catch up with.

"Ding-dong!" goes the doorbell. Is it Avon calling? Or perhaps Ed McMahon with my three million dollars? No, it's Yahweh's Witlesses again, just wanting to have a nice little chat about the Bible...



Boy, did they ever come to the wrong house! So we invite them in:"Enter freely and of your own will..." (Hey, it's Sunday morning, nothing much going on, why not have a little entertainment?) Diane and I amuse ourselves watching their expressions as they check out the living room: great horned owl on the back of my chair; ceremonial masks and medicine skulls of dragons and unicorns on the wall; crystals, wands, staffs, swords; lots of Goddess figures and several altars; boa constrictors draped in amorous embrace over the elkhorn; white doves sitting in the hanging planters; cats and weasels underfoot; iron dragon snorting steam atop the wood stove; posters and paintings of wizards and dinosaurs and witchy women, some proudly naked; sculptures of mythological beasties and lots more dinosaurs; warp six on the star-filled viewscreen of my computer; a five-foot model of the USS Enterprise and the skeleton of a plesiosaur hanging from the ceiling; very, very many books, most of them dealing with obviously weird subjects...




To say nothing of the great horned owl perched on the back of my chair and the Unicorn grazing in the front yard. You know; early Addams Family decor.And then, of course, it being late in the morning, you can expect Morning Glory to come wandering out naked, looking for her wake-up cup of tea. Morning Glory naked is a truly impressive sight, and the Witlesses look as if she'd set titties on stun as they stand immobilized, hands clasped over their genitals. With the stage set and all the actors in place, the show is ready to begin.


This intrigued me to read on...

Just read that mr Bush wants "more democracy" in the Middle East. This is a man speaking who introduced the "Patriot Act" and other laws in his own country robbing it from it's democracy. He'd better keep his big mouth, specially in the middle east as the biggest mess they got there is also created by this person and his father's "friends club".

Hehe, here's something else...

There's a good source for information in the Internet FAQ Archives, also for questions about and you can find a lot of clear answers here.
If you are interested to live in a housboat in Amsterdam, There's this guy who offered his houseboat for sale in a cannabis related Yahoo group and there are more details and pictures online. To be honest I think it's a lot of money and the view isn't good either but I guess living in Amsterdam makes up for all this.

This week I guess the Google search engine, one of the most importand, and maybe the biggest there is, "finally" indexed the Amsterdam Cannabis Ministry's website in it's directory.
A google search for Amsterdam cannabis sets the ministry at a #3 position (Results 1 - 10 of about 37,600) and cannabis Amsterdam at #1 and #2 (Results 1 - 10 of about 37,400). From now on a lot of differend "keyword" searches will bring the ministry in the top results at search engines. It already boosted the visitor statistics with 300% in the last two days. Yes, hehe, but what do you care. Well, for me it's Great news!

One of my every day things to do is of course checking the emails and doing this one of the messages brought me back to the Psychedelic 60's, I was a small kid those days but growing up with the music of that time didn't hurt me at all. The same email had a link to what they called "radical groups" at that time. Some one else send me a link to Funny Shit, Smelly Shit and Funny Drunken Shit. Hehe, I guess for "Good Shit" one has to come to Amsterdam.

As a minister ordained by the ULC of course one sometimes consults his fellow ULC ministers on matters we need expertise from others.
Becouse of a discussion I got involved in with on Jerry Gaffney's website about the Bible and Cannabis, (You can find this discussion here) I decided to ask some fellow reverends for their opinion. The ministers at the ULC did come up with some interesting answers and thoughts on :

Does The Bible "forbit" The Use Of Cannabis?


For those who might not have seen it yet, some of the THC ministry members have their opinion on this matter (and Jerry) also.

Hehe, So I came home last night and there was some water leaking from one of the corners in my living room, coming from my neighbour, I thought. I live on the thirth floor of a four floor appartment and have an upstairs neighbour. One of the things I was thinking of that might have could happened is a little grow that got water leaking, this is one of the main reasons why people get cought with growrooms here in Amsterdam btw, this and the smell. Well, this morning it was even worse, all the walls in my bedroom have these water leak marks, and damage and the water had even been soaking through the electricity panels in the room. My neighbour came over just about when I planned to go upstairs to see him, when he asked me if I had leaks too , becouse his whole walls and floors are soaking wet, it turned out the water was comming from the roof.(lol, suspicious me)
At the moment there are some companies working on the renovation of our building, one of the things they've been doing last week was putting up a new roof and after a very rainy weekend we all found out it's not water proof. The girl living at the first floor, right under my appartment also has all this damage now but we had a visit from some one from that company shortly after we all found out this morning and insurance will take care of it. Hehe, I didn't tell my neighbour I thought he had some grow leaking. How the mind works uh?

Another lazy Sunday..this dude, Hillis claims the English FA only turned to serious drugs scrutiny of players in its 92 league teams three years ago when it discovered “13 marijuanas in black players. It may be politically incorrect to say that, but that’s the reason”. This is written here in the Sunday Herald.
MICHAEL Howard's drug-dealing cousin will come back to haunt him on the very day he is due to take over as Conservative leader, at least, that's what the Sundaymirror is telling us today.
After a good cup of Sunday Morning Coffee I guess it all brightenes up again.

AAAHHH!, I nearly forgot... This site gives you some questions to answer on sunday. This week's questions :

1. How long have you had your blog?
2. Do you post on a daily basis?
3. Do you have a list of daily reads? If yes, do you visit them daily?
4. What is the longest period of time you have gone without posting an entry?
5. Do you have more than one blog?

My answers :

1 - Only a few days, started it the 30th, sort of a curiousaty actually.
2 - Until now I guess I do.
3 - As I am site owner of a few websites, and moderate and admin a few others I do have a list of websites I visit on a dayly base, most of them have forums.
4 - About 12 hours I guess.
5 - No.

I have been chatting with Echo this evening, she attended me on this funny parody, made by these people.
Another parody site we both found funny is "The Onion", they usually makes jokes on (American) politics and publish real looking articles and other funny stories.

posted by Ferre 11:55 PM



Humor? LOL, nah, a visit at Funny Quotes did bring a smile but no rolling around the floor either. Neither did the Mormon Guide to Overcoming Masterbation. I did have some laughs at "details: What men learn from porn..." Somewhere else I did find this joke though,

Two hunters from New Jersey are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing. The other whips out his mobile phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps out to the operator: "My friend is dead. What can I do?"

The operator in a calm soothing voice says "Just take it easy. First let's make sure he's dead."

There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: "OK, now what?"
