Random Associations, Assumptions... Corrections

I don't normally do memes any more, but this one from Shadow5Tails et al sounded interesting...

Go to Google and type in "[your name] likes to" - eg. "Aristophanes the Wonder Frog likes to". Post the top ten search results in your blog. Commentary is optional, but like wasabi, adds to the experience.

... pause to consider putting my real name to this or not... whatthehell!!

1. Obviously Justin likes to keep himself as busy as possible.
Sometimes... other times he relishes inactivity... until he gets bored, which takes about an hour.

2. Justin likes to play with his rattles and vibrating toys.
If that means percussion & guitars, I certainly do!! If, on the other hand, it means....... not really my kink.

3. Justin likes to go into a game hungry, saying he's more aggressive on an empty stomach.
And it makes me look slimmer too!

4. Justin likes to be scared.
The only times I'm really scared are those spent on tall ladders or unstable heights... & no, I do not like them, Sam I Am. And this is my holiday from hell!!

5. Justin likes to play sports, ride his new electric scooter around the neighborhood and enjoys being in Scouts.
No he @#%$!! doesn't...

6. Justin likes to color, draw, play outside, look for bugs (especially roly polies and lady bugs), and play video games on his Game Cube.
I said... No he @#%$!! doesn't!!!

7. When he's not in scrubs, Justin likes to sport a variety of styles.
Should read ~ "When he's not watching Scrubs, Justin likes to play guitar in a variety of styles." Put that one down to a proofreading error...

8. Justin likes to collect weird, old things.
That's a terrible thing to say about my friends!!

9. Justin likes to spend his free time chilling to mellow R&B music, grooving on the dance floor.
For the last time... No he @#%$!! doesn't!!!!!

10. Justin likes to play video games and swim.
Justin wouldn't play video games if his life depended on it & would only swim if his life depended on it. To quote Paul Stookey (of Peter, Paul & Mary fame) ~ "You know what swimming is to me? Staying alive when you're in the water."

It's Not Just For Easter - It's For Life!!

Good advice for either the extremely!!! religious, or those of a... particular bent. No names mentioned here...

Crucifixion can be bad for your health
From correspondents in Manila

PHILIPPINE health officials today warned people taking part in Easter crucifixions and self-flagellation rituals to get a tetanus shot first and sterilise the nails to avoid infections. Every Good Friday in the predominantly Roman Catholic Southeast Asian nation dozens of men re-enact the crucifixion of Jesus Christ by having themselves nailed to wooden crosses.

At the same time hundreds of others, mostly men, strip to the waist and whip themselves until their backs are cut and bloody as a way of atoning for their sins over the past year. The Catholic church frowns upon the crucifixions and self-flagellations which have become a tourist attraction in a number of towns around the country.

The department of health issued a health warning advising people taking part in the rituals this Friday to have tetanus shots and to check the condition of the whip they will use before lashing their backs. It warned that dirty whips could lead to tetanus and other infections. Health Secretary Francisco Duque said that as it was hard to discourage "flagellants from whipping their own flesh, the best penitents can do is ensure that their whips are well-maintained".

According to the Manila Times, in San Fernando City, Pampanga, some 23 people, including two women, plan to reenact the crucifixion on Friday.

"We are not trying to go against the Lenten tradition here because whipping has somewhat already become some form of 'atonement for sins' for some of us," Mr Duque said. "But this advice is important to make sure that no one will land in the hospital due to tetanus or other infections that penitents might get in the process," he said.

The health department has also warned that the six-inch nails used in crucifixions should be sterilised
