This really takes balls!

Posted on January 1, 2011 at 11:30 am by Dr. Jim

Some guy in  Britain has tried a do it yourself sex change.

A spokesman for Derbyshire’s Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Trust said last night: “A man in his early twenties presented himself at the hospital minus his testicles, which he had removed the previous day.

…

It is believed the man, who has not been named, was suffering from “gender confusion issues” and may have been attempting a home sex change before hurling his unwanted privates into Queens Park, Chesterfield.

The strange thing is, the guy waited some 24 hours before going to the hospital and claimed that it didn’t hurt that badly. I doubt whether much research will be done to test the veracity of that claim, but I doubt he will be doing that again!

Hopefully he gets some good psychiatric help, he really needs it, and if he did want a sex change, some professional help in that department, too!

The Truth Revealed (again)! How Jim West blogs so much!

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 10:52 am by Dr. Jim

Jim West, the non-ignorable nemesis of so many Bible Bloggers answers a question from a reader as whether he ever has an unblogged thought. The reply  reveals the typical Westian humility; ignoring, of course, the essential issue of whether any of West’s frequent posts reflect any thought at all.

Be that as it may, our band of roving researchers have uncovered how West manages to get so many posts crammed into his blog. It is a technological advancement.

And here is how he pays for it: the sign on his church’s tithing office:

Max and the Dead Bag: Dr. Jim’s first youtube!

Posted on December 28, 2010 at 4:05 pm by Dr. Jim

After killing a Christmas gift bag until it died of it, Max Mischief, ringleader of the Bedlam boys, is now very annoyed by the fact that he has stepped through the handle on the aforementioned bag’s carcass and so carries much of the corpse with him everywhere he goes! Max is trying to non-chalantly pretend it is not there, to save the embarrassment of trying to wiggle out of it when people and other cats are there to see it, presumably.

Brother Dash Molasses looked on with a bit of relief (“better him than me”), and Miss Molly Rose Bean was plainly disgusted.

Ah, to let the cat out of the bag or not?

The Stench of John Calvin

Posted on December 28, 2010 at 1:31 pm by Dr. Jim

Jim West has taken another of his silly jabs at “angry atheists” this time offering an improvisation of a quote by that complete stick-up-the-ass, control-freak, nut-case (but he was pre-destined to be that!) John Calvin. Here are West’s insights injected into  Calvin’s pathetic misrepresentation of “idolators”. I really don’t know why I read this crap…

http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/holy_shit_by_mischa_vos_8201.asp

Just as one who cleans toilets makes fun of the people who pinch their noses when he happens to be near them, because he has himself been in that filth so long that he does not notice that awful stench anymore; so those who worship images and have by this habit so the angry atheist has, by his sensless habit of disbelief, become so hardened to that the filth of disbelief think that they are he actually thinks that he is among the roses, and make fun of those who are bothered by the stench they themselves no longer notice.

At least we now know to turn down an invite to Jim West’s house!  Hmmm, it must smell pretty apalling… apologetic in there!

Well, if we are to do a little poo-flinging, here’s mine!

Just as one who cleans toilets makes fun of the people who pinch their noses when he happens to be near them, because he has himself been in that filth so long that he does not notice that awful stench anymore; so self-righteous Christians have, by their senseless habit of belief, become so hardened to the odors of  belief they actually think that they are among the roses, and so makes fun of those who have risen above outhouses, are decent enough to flush, and know what air freshener is for so no one else has to suffer.

Posted on December 26, 2010 at 10:03 am by Dr. Jim

Thoroughly enjoyed Christmas lunch and Mary’s mom’s house. Tons of good stuff to eat, good times and great company. And the aftermath:

And, of course, thanks to the Fredborgs for the wonderful prezzies! I certainly wasn’t expecting this!

Giftmas Eve Shopping, and I’m done!

Posted on December 24, 2010 at 1:35 pm by Dr. Jim

Shopping, that is. Went out early this morning and I’m all done! Horray!

So here are some fitting giggles to celebrate!

http://loltheist.com

No, I did NOT go to Walmart. Avoided it like the plague.

Dr. Jim will be Christmassing at Mary’s house and is looking forward to all the eats and good company. The shops will be avoided completely on Sunday, and we are going to visit Jack and his twin sisters (and their mom and dad), for more prezzy giving and eats and general jolliosity. And then possibly off to see Yogi Bear. All of this calls for a lolcat!

Molotov’s Bread Basket or: Mana, Soviet Style

Posted on December 21, 2010 at 2:07 pm by Dr. Jim

Found this interesting photo on the WW2 In Color site. It is a 1940′s Soviet cluster bomb.

I assume the paddle-like bits at the top are fins offset so the device would spin on the way down, throwing the little bombs it contains over a wide area. Interesting is the media “spin” the Soviets put on their campaign against Finland. Here is the photo’s description (emphasis mind):

Finnish Civil Guard boy next to a “Molotov’s bread basket”

The RRAB-3 was a Soviet-made droppable bomb dispenser that combined a large high-explosive charge with a cluster of incendiary bombs. It was used against the cities of Finland during the Winter War of 1939–1940. The bomb consisted of a cylinder 2.25 metres (7.4 ft) long and 0.9 metres (3.0 ft) in diameter.

At the beginning of the Winter War in 1939, the Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov claimed that Russia was not bombing Finland, but merely dropping food to starving Finnish people. The Finns soon dubbed the RRAB-3 cluster bomb as “Molotov’s bread basket”, and named the improvised incendiary device that they used to destroy Soviet tanks the Molotov cocktail, as “a drink to go with the food”.

One can only wonder how much nerve it takes to lie like that, and who the hell would have believed it. THis is on the same level as the Nazi’s obscene “Arbeit Macht Frei” slogan. 70 years ago perhaps one could control the media in one’s own country, but selling the bombing of a modern country in the age of war correspondence and radio as dropping food beggars belief. One might think that with the internet (perhaps moreso than with the big-business media outlets), it would be hard to get away with this crap even within one’s own borders today, but I think there is still too little risk attached to such blatant lies to put an end to it. In some places like North Korea, such lies  still work well but even in the West they still have some currency. Countries are invaded to root out non-existent WMDs and to liberate oil, I mean people, from cruel dicatorships. Big corporations extoll their benevolence around the world and abuse local populations horribly. Free enterprise brings profits for a few freedom and prosperity to many. For profit health care is good while egalitarian options lead only to death panels.

Alas.

Is Jim West Heading for a Fall?

Posted on December 21, 2010 at 10:41 am by Dr. Jim

An interesting thought. West, the long time king, nay Pope, of the self-appointed denizens of the divided house called Bibliobloggers, is having to endure a bit of a palace coup at the hands of James McGrath, who is seeking strategies to depose West of his coveted (there’s some total depravity for you!) top Bible Blogger of Forever title. I’ve made a few silly post about this here and here.  In the first one, I commented that the a better strategy than getting other folks to simply out blog West (who posts numerous times a day) would be to organize mass visits to West’s nearest competitor, Joel Watt’s Unsettled Christianity (and Joel, being an official Heck of a Nice Guy, is surely a worthy replacement for West as King of the Blog Popes, and if memory serves, actually did temporarily displace him at #1 some time ago).

Archival image from Dec. '09. Seemed appropriate...

For the November top 50  listings, go here (Dr. Jim is well off the Top 50 list… alas).

Now Joel may be poised to do it again as his blog post  Tea Party Nation has called for the end of the United Methodist Church has been quoted in the Huffington post!

A blogger at “Unsettled Christianity” has unsurprisingly taken issue with Phillips’s attack:

I’ve noticed one thing about all of this – he is lacking in his Scriptural foundation. Where is his scriptural support for those things which he says that the UMC is wrong for? Instead, he uses words which he doesn’t understand, like Socialism, Marxism and Communism.

Whoot! Well done Joel! Will the quote and link get Joel enough regular readers to finally put an end to West’s reign of… well… not sure what it is, umm…. reign of reigning? Only time will tell!

My only claim to fame is that one of my posts from July 2009 is duly noted in Wikipedia’s article on Baptism. It is cited in the second last of 212 (!) footnotes.

Using a hair dryer,[210][211] some atheist groups have conducted tongue-in-cheek “debaptism” ceremonies, not intended to be taken seriously.  (211: Debaptism: C’mon out, the blowdryer is fine!

The post is just my typical bit of nonsense, but it did get me a lot of hits. Relatively few from Wikipedia, mind you, but a lot from google searches for “Hair Dryer”.

That post did has a Westian theme, revealed in the subtitle: ”Dr. Jim’s Hot Air vs. the West Wind on the Dilettantish Debunking of the Diabolical Disbelieverly Dedunking Dilemma”. Needless to say, West took issue with the atheist debaptism rites and I skewered him for it.  Here are the pictorial highlights.

The new Blowhard 3000 Debaptizer. Blows your mind, rationally.

A militant atheist practicing for the suicide squad.
