Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.
- Leonard Cohen(Anthem)
A slice of brilliance entwined with simplicity.
I’ll reserve my snarkiness for another day. Watch this for now.
Note from the director:
Two requests:
1. Ignore the subtitles, please. They’re not done by me. Maybe by the same person who put the video online? Which I’m quite pleased about because I don’t have the rights (to my own fucking film, but that’s a separate story). But yes, do make a conscious effort to ignore them.
2. Watch full screen even if the quality (already bad) is worse. It’s worth it, I’d say.

Thus spaketh the Bumbling Bushster of DC. And his word was done. Pervy(of the Musharaf fame) must be sniggering with Rafi’s songs in tow. Right about now.
“Those bloody Geneva nerds *must* succeed in their cosmos ending experiment coz I can’t take this anymore!”
In a your-ass-is-grass move, the big old cowboy has finally done something right and now its Pakistan government’s efforting to rearrange the deck chairs on the Hindenberg that takes the cake (firni, whatever other dessert you may fancy in the hinterland).(Thank you for that and many others Mr. Colbert)
This has a better viewership generating capacity than any last minute fuggetry by Raikkonen on every F1 track. I demand a reality show around this. Colors TV are you listening? And I almost never say this unless I cough-sypruped* an entire bottle of Absinthe the night before with the right kind of herbal mix for company.
“The situation in the tribal areas is not tolerable,” …….“We have to be more assertive. Orders have been issued.” – A senior army official(like Commander Shears?)
It’s now been proclaimed that Afghani(Pak-army-recruits-turned-Afghani-mujaheeds)militants take shelter in Pakistan. Really dumbkoff? And it took you so bloody long to get that straight.
On the side, its almost time for a Big Bang of a different sort from what Zardari and Co might be experiencing. Or not, in case they are in cahoots with the Big Dummy. The whole world ending experiment as reminded to us by the innumerable omnious incantations on the innumerable Hindi news channels has commenced on a rather bombastic note, don’t you think? And in any case since everybody and their blogging cousins have spluttered incoherently about it, it’s only fair that I – with my very special brand of private but intense astronautical joo joo – must show some timely link love.
Personally though, I still feel that McDee’s McMuffin was a bigger breakthrough and hence should be considered a standard for all scientific breakthroughs ever. Those Large Hardon Collider geeks would do well to oujja board some inspiration gathering from Herb Peterson. And they should do it frequently. Really.
* Bottle to mouth, single shot gulping as in the case of drinking Himalaya cough syrups. Only sick Indians can fully comprehend this. And I meant sick in a non Norman Bates sense.
