A Microcosm of America

As noted yesterday by The Esteemed Whip, there has been the complete opposite of a flurry of activity here on AOF. I don't know what TW or DGD's excuse for the absence of posting has been, but I'm sure it's legitimate (read: lazy motherfuckers). As alluded to by TW, AOF is indeed expanding it's global footprint, and I am now broadcasting out of Brooklyn. I miss the AOF cave, though not the greater New Haven area. As for motivations for my move, it was probably to find the girl that LL was talking about that was raised out in Brooklyn. Regardless of the why, the how caused some disruptions in posting ability, mainly that I didn't have a computer until this morning. So now we're off, and in the spirit of TW's previous post, here's some random roundup items:

1. I've always said that nothing good can be found in Rockland County, NY. Now we have hard, cold facts that Rockland County is populated by degenerates, and, more importantly, has frightening approaches to their China Buffets. A China Buffet (I'm not gonna bother to look up the real name of the place in the article, they're all the same, aren't they?) was caught by the Health Inspector preparing food in an ever so slightly unsanitary fashion. Namely, by stomping garlic, with shoes on. Genius in it's laziness, yes, but come on, that just doesn't fly here in the Western Hemisphere.

2. Craigslist is simply the last frontier of humanity. It honestly never ceases to amaze me. It's kind of like one of those movies where everything is still set in the current day, or even the future, where everyone has that kind of "live free or die" attitude, but in reality, it's not peaceful or even reasonable, but mostly full of the hard-core bondage lifestyle. I'm thinking something along the lines of the subterranean society run by Denis Leary in "Demolition Man". That or the shit in "Escape from LA" (I went with the sequel for no other reason than I've seen it more often. "Escape from NY" would've worked, as well). Anyway, so Craigslist has this whole peace sign nonsense on the exterior, but on the inside it's nothing but casual encounters, like Drama fucking a furry, or crazy shit for sale. This ad says everything, or maybe nothing, about our society. A quick note: I do not endorse the engraving of this on any object, although I'm giving serious thought to purchasing it.

3. Rat traps continue to astound me. Not gonna lie, this is filler because I figured a list only two items long would kind of suck. Irregardless, the whole basic construction of the rat trap, little bit of cheese on a trigger that springs a piece of metal has to have been around for centuries. It's gotta be the least humane way to kill anything. They should just invent a trap with a little tiny fist that just punches the rat in the junk when it tries to take the cheese. It would be the only thing worse. With our modern society, there must be something poisonous we can just leave out, the rat eats it, and just goes off somewhere else to die. I think we crave the sick pleasure of collecting our kills when the trap goes off. Kind of a tradeoff with having fucking RATS in our house, but hey, at least we get to kill them horribly and then bask in the magnificence of our brutality.
