We Stopped Dreaming And Settled For Surviving A culture without a common mythology can’t hold together. Break the thread and all the beads fall. And as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors’ eyes—a fresh, [...]
Apollo 14 Astronaut Edgar Mitchell’s Badass Quote About Politicians, & What Really Matters.
1 Aug, 2011 in Doodles, fnord, wisdomBring up all the fuckers and leave them Let them gasp out their last, loathsome lies into the vacuum Astronauts are badass. I mean real astronauts. The moon walkers. The Right Stuff folk. Buzz Aldrin is in his 80′s and he still kicks ass, when fucked with.
I Love These Guys. The Lulz Boat Is The Coolest Thing Ever.
21 Jul, 2011 in fnord, sadhana and dharma, wisdomIf the bad guys speak like the good guys are supposed to, and the good guys act like bad guys… and the good guys imprison, torture, lie, extort, exploit, and exhaust the country, and the people whom they are sworn to serve (remember… public servants), then I believe the time has come for a reevaluation [...]

B. Kliban Cartoons Are The Funniest Cartoons Ever. For Real.
16 Jun, 2011 in Doodles, fnord, funniest shit ever, humor, wisdomThe B in B. Kliban Stands For Bernard Funniest Cartoonist Ever I discovered B. Kliban in 1986, in the humor section of the Paperback Booksmith, in the Bedford (NH) Mall. I was probably looking at Bloom County, and National Lampoon, as well. His unbelievably weird, and transcendentally brilliant cartoons brought unto me illumination not unlike [...]
It’s simple. Rapists rape. Everyone else gets horny and goes home. I usually roll my eyes when women protest with signs, like the ” real men take no for an answer”, but rape is heinous, and it shouldn’t be veiled with excuses. I found this on Dangerous Minds, and they found it on reddit.
The Art Of Banksy Meshes Nicely With The Words Of Langston Hughes.
8 Jun, 2011 in Coolest Shit Ever, Doodles, fnord, wisdomBanksy Strikes Again. No Christ This Time. Banksy has once again popped up in my Tumblr. Last time it was in Rio, painting Christ the Redeemer. I don’t know how old this one is, but it’s awesome. I love his doodles. They hold truth. Langston Hughes used words, Banksy uses images, and perhaps one day [...]
Coolest Thing Ever: Dock Ellis Pitches A No-Hitter For The Pirates In 1970… While Tripping Balls On LSD.
30 May, 2011 in craziest shit ever, fnord, humor, wisdomhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO281JqXQdc”
This is crazy because it’s true. Dock Ellis pitched a no hitter against the Padres while on LSD. Sports people know this. Cool people may not. Robin Williams did a bit about it. Watch the video and listen to the man himself tell the story. It’s hilarious, and amazing. If you’ve ever done acid, you [...]
I grow old… I grow old… I shall wear the bottoms of my trouser rolled. – T.S. Eliot I am old. I finished growing old at least a decade ago; now I shrink into myself like a rotting peach. Days without pain and stiffness are far behind me. Where once I ran, I now hobble. [...]
Philip K Dick’s Last Masterpiece, Radio Free Albemuth Is A Film. Watch The Trailer Here.
4 Mar, 2011 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, wisdomRemember how I said the Empire Never Ended? Well, the fellow who had that insight, Philip K Dick, has a new movie coming out. Yes, he died 29 years (and one day) ago, but he’s got more in his library than Blade Runner (and Total Recall, Screamers, A Scanner Darkly, et al). It’s Radio Free [...]
You Say That It’s Gospel, But I Know It’s Only Church.
28 Feb, 2011 in fnord, Tom Waits Week, wisdom
Entropy’s a bitch. I have started writing again. It’s neat. It’s creaky, rusty, and the leather’s all dried out, but I think the old girl might have some life in her. This pleases me, and scares me a little. It’s been a long time since I just went for it. Charlie Brown and the Football [...]
Empire Never Ended – Wolves in Sheikh’s Clothing (Another Klassic Krusty from 2007)
26 Feb, 2011 in fnord, Reposts From Old Blog, wisdomHere is the second installment of “Back When He Wrote With Substance”, also known as reposts from my old blog. The first repost I did was about Orson Welles and F for Fake. It’s another artifact from Ur-Youdopia, and it’s about Philip K Dick, the Black Iron Prison, and Care Bears. Enjoy. Thanks for reading.

Wisdom From The Great(ly missed) Robert Anton Wilson Wisdom. Fnord, Uncle Bob. I love you.
22 Feb, 2011 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, wisdomIt’s been entirely too long since I’ve lauded Robert Anton Wilson. He’s the reason Youdopia exists, online, and inside. Robert Anton Wilson seems to function in spacetime, as a hub for myriad similar, yet tangential paths of wisdom, knowledge, and humor. Genius laughs. Greed Grimaces.Democracy Dodders.
Aleister Crowley For President in 2012. Funniest Campaign Commercial Ever!
11 Feb, 2011 in fnord, funniest shit ever, humor, sadhana and dharma, wisdom
Front porch pundits Jackie and Dunlap, from Red State Update, have created a commercial for Aleister Crowley for president in 2012. It’s hilarious, mainly because there is a real knowledge of Crowley and Thelema shown in their hijinks. I was surprised at how funny this is. I’ve written of Crowley before. The Aleister Crowley for [...]
Paper Planes Dropped From Space To Advertise Toughness Of Memory Cards
2 Feb, 2011 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, wisdomThis is pretty cool, but the waxing old codger in me says fix the roads. Then I saw that it wasn’t a government experiment, but rather a promotional stunt, by Samsung, touting the toughness of their memory cards. Isn’t this Meta-littering. Literally littering the planet with your shitty airplanes? I guess not. It’s pretty cool, [...]
The Dept of Homeland Security has partnered with Wal-Mart. To save America from terrorists, for less.

It is meant [...]
The Great Alan Moore Discusses The Great Austin Osman Spare. IAO! It’s The Coolest Thing Ever.
8 Nov, 2010 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, wisdomHappy Monday, Youdopia. I am throwing this video up, straight from the wonderful Daily Grail, because it features the legendary Alan Moore. Not only that, it’s Alan Moore talking about Austin Osman Spare. Austin Osman Spare was an artist, occultist, and spooooooooooky bloke. I know very little about him, although I recognize some of his [...]
Alan Moore Speaks To Intelligent Life Throughout The Cosmos. It’s The Coolest Ever.
22 Sep, 2010 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, wisdomI owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to the person who introduced me to Alan Moore’s work. He’s a genius, a mystic, a curmudgeon, a gadfly, and a hell of a writer, Youdopia. I’ve written of him before. He recently was given an opportunity to speak to the universe, as in a broadcast sent directly [...]
