25 September 2007

I'm so sick of the lunarnormative bullshit that goes on here. [More:]Once again I've had to endure the tired chorus of "but the moon landing shouldn't come up often in normal conversation" over at AskMe. Well, I guess not if you only spend time with people from your same sociolunar background! This is just like a bunch rich, white frat boys arguing that "racism doesn't exist" because they never have to deal with it themselves--no kidding, they just hang out with people just like them!

I escaped my lunarnormative past and now I hang out with people with all sorts of opinions about the moon. Some people think the moon landing was fake, some think the moon itself is fake. Others think the moon is a 5-star hotel for the super-rich lizard race that rules the world. With that kind of diversity, you can bet the moon will come up pretty damn regularly.

So stop oppressing me, you moon Nazis. kthxbi.
This is a very real issue that a lot of us forget about. Thank you for speaking up, mullacc.

The faking of the moon landing was also faked. This goes deeper than you think.

Psst, cortex: THEY want you to think that they faked the faking of the moon landing. We did it to scare the Russians into thinking we could fake an attack from space!

Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow. Moonshadow, moonshadow.
Stalked, mocked & cock-blocked by a moonshadow. Moonshadow, moonshadow.

And if I ever lose my mind, lose my way no God can find,
Oh if I ever lose my mind, Oh if.... I won't have to care no more.
And if I ever lose my knife, if I can't even bleed love dry,
Yes if I ever lose my knife, Oh if.... Well, all's fair in love and war.

And if I ever lose my hate, lose the thirst no drink can sate,
Yes if I ever lose my hate, Oh if.... I won't have a time to kill.
And if I ever lose your trail, if you should move while I'm jail,
Yes if I ever lose your trail, Well, you may not… love me no more... But I know your sister will.

Did it take long to find me? I asked the deathly light.
Did it take long to find me? And who will die tonight?

Tell it to Buzz Aldrin, just wear a face shield when you do so.

Go Buzz!

The original moon landing was for real, but the one coming up for the multi-million-dollar prize, with todays' CG animation technology is gonna be the easiest thing to fake.

And that's why they call it Lunacy.

Oh come on. I learned it straight up from my dad when I was even shorter than I am now.

Bacon on the sun side, ice cream on the cold side. Don't you people know anything about astronomy?
