The Daily Gaggle

North Korea. Most of the G N P of this impoverished militarised country is spent on armaments and large pompous hats for the senior militants. Very little is expended on nutrition for the Hoi poloi and it seems the only way out for some to survive is to feed on your dead friends or kill persons who are not your best friends and flog their flesh or barter it for veggies and the like. Human flesh apparently tastes a little like pork when spit roasted pre 1850's Maori style, Young male captives resulting from raids were the main source of the Sunday roast. But it seems people in North Korea have been reading R,M,Ballantyne's 'Coral Island' and picking up a few native recipes. this revelation is creating shock horror South of the 38Th parallel. Recently North Korean authorities have executed three people for cannibalism as the nation struggles with hunger. The claims were made by south Korea's state run Korean institute for national unification, based on information fro...

Nearest and dearest asks" Have you seen the plug for the kitchen sink". I reply " Not lately, Use the plug from the shower". "Strange" she Say's" I always leave it in the same place". "OK" Say's I, "The dog next door ate it". "How could that happen ". I then told her "Every time our new neighbours go out their dog starts barking on and off, more on than off , so I looked for something to shut it up ". "Cant see it eating a plastic or rubber plug Say's she". "Why not said I,  the dog couldn't resist it'. "Why is that she asks". "Well I covered the plug with chicken fat and skin from the leftovers in the fridge, so I reckon the dog will be farting more than barking for a while." Stop worrying dog lovers. Took a decko over the fence  and saw dog gnawing  on the plug.  Must buy more plugs. He who does not hope to win has already lost...Vest...

Anyone considering using these gates as an entrance to their new stately residence may invoke the wrath of the previous persons guarded by these gates.

Thieves stole stole these gates from Murringo cemetery about a week ago. It has infuriated the village people, population 164, and the local council faces 'Coffin up' for new gates if they are not returned. Local mayor S Frankenstein (Whoop's) sorry er Freudenstein Say's we can't have a cemetery without gates, mind you, we are not trying to stop anyo...

Two hundred years ago Edward Lear who composed the famous poem in1867, was born in Holloway, London. England It would be best to google his profile and save my time ranting on. However, my contact with Edward Lear's poetry? came in the 1930's during my senior schooling. When Lear's "The Dong with the luminous nose" was a challenge to learn 'off by heart'. in fact a massive prize of one Pound Sterling was available to any student who could recite this gobbledygook without any mistakes. There were no winners that I can recall. The Dong with a Luminous Nose W hen awful darkness and silence reign Over the great Gromboolian plain, Through the long, long wintry nights;-- When the angry breakers roar As they beat on the rocky shore;-- When Storm-clouds brood on the towering heights Of the Hills of the Chankly Bore:-- Then, through the vast and gloomy dark, There moves what seems a fiery spark, A lonely spark with si...

Top US officer: Stop this ‘Total War’ on Islam Fri May 11, 2012 11:59AM GMT America’s top military officer condemned in the strongest possible terms a Defense Department course that taught troops to prep for a “total war” on Islam using “Hiroshima”-style tactics. “It was totally objectionable, against our values and it wasn’t academically sound,” Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at a Pentagon press conference on Thursday. The instructor responsible for the course, Army Lt. Col. Matthew A. Dooley, is “no longer in a teaching status,” Dempsey added - but he is still employed at the Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Va. Dempsey’s comments were prompted by a Danger Room report on Thursday that described Dooley’s course in detail. For at least a year, Dooley taught an optional course at the college for lieutenant colonels, colonels, commanders and Navy captains that proposed taking a war on Isl...
