Well, finally got to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, and spent 20 minutes there. I wonder if anybody will ever remember or care about it, forty or fifty years from now.

Great Debates - 1834

I can’t believe Jackson nominated Taney for the Supreme Court. The guy is just a party hack who helped the administration close the National Bank and caused this depression we’re still trying to get out of. Yeah, there’s a great credit for the resume. And does Jackson seriously think he’ll get Taney past the senate? They already voted him down once when Jackson tried to make him Treasurer; why are they going to put him on the Supreme Court. Hell, at his age he could still be writing decisions in 1857.

So here’s my thought. I’m gonna create this thing called a Universe, in it, I’m gonna make a ball of mud called… Earth, yea that’s it. Then I’m gonna put this little replicas of me on there and then fuck with their minds for a few thousand years.

Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. I mean the elephants and monkeys and kangaroos are cool, but those humans just suck. You know, I think I’ll just wipe em out and start all over a again. Well this one guy Noah seems ok.

Any doper parents out there having this trouble. I never see my kid. You see his mother and I havn’t been together since conception. She’s married to someone else who treats him fine, but he is my kid. The big problem is now he’s going around telling everyone to listen to him and to follow him. I mean, I’m glad he’s a leader but he should have a little more respect for people.

Posted by **Son of the God Ra** , in the twelfth year of my reign

**BBQ Pit**

\*I don’t care if he was part of the family once. Aunt Bythia was probably lying anyway, saying the gods sent him to her. Yea, _right_, he looks a lot like that slave guy she had “fanning” her all the time.

Stupid bastard is getting the priests all worked up with his hokey “miracles”. The slaves in Goshen are getting totally out of hand too, and the head architect says his projects are weeks behind.

And now this piece of crocodile dung has the nerve to demand release for “his people” from slavery! My informers have told me there’s a strike in the works, and the slaves are having a lamb feast tonight!

That’s the last straw(heh, heh, I made a funny). I’m going to take my oldest son with me and go show those upstarts whose really boss around here.\*

I saw this goddawful band this weekend called _The Rolling Stones_ :rolleyes: . The lead singer looks like he could french kiss a moose. Couldn’t understand a word they were singing. Whatever happened to decent musicians who sang properly?

I was up against the stage all night with my girl, keeping her from the leering eyes of those blokes.

Worst concert ever. Cost me half a crown to get into the club, too. What a ripoff!

God! I hate insomnia! I’ve been up all night on this ship, tossing and turning in my bunk and listening to the guys fart and snore.

Thankfully I have Sunday off. After I sleep a few hours I’m going to prowl around Pearl Harbor for some action.

Dear Sir,  
I wish to complain on the stronglyest possible terms about the previous entry in this board that has someone attempting to pass himself as the researcher that did go to the Mariana’s Trench, I was the one. My best friend Donald Walsh would not dare to use such a silly name like that, only a FEW of my friends are that batty.

Yours faithfully,  
Jacques Auguste Piccard, Swiss physicist, Mrs.

> I am so fucking pissed! I was working all day long at the ‘Kristians for the Killing of Kommies’ meeting and just wanted to go home, watch some I LOVE LUCY (you see that one the other night where the girls decided they could get a job and work outside the house like they was men? Them some funny gals). My wife’s 8 months pregnant and not able to walk to the grocery store so she’d called me at work and asked would I bring her a carton of cigarettes, so I said alright and I get on the bus and I’m holding that carton of Chesterfields that I already laid out three bucks for so I don’t feel like standing up with it.  
> So I get on the bus. Guess what? There’s no seats available in the White Section! Wonderful, I think, I gotta sit on a bench already warmed by a black ass! Only Little Miss Sassy over there, get this- she don’t stand up and move back when I get on even though she’s looking right at me!  
> But what the hell, I’m tired, you do what you have to right? I figure, she’s a silly darky, it’s Christmas, I won’t make a scene, I’m a gentleman, so polite as can be, I tell the negress 'Excuse me gal, case you ain’t noticed I just moved the Colored Section back a row, you gotta get up so I can set down. Gal looks at me and says ‘No!’. I was so pissed I called the cops. and they hauled her off to jail! I guess I showed her a thing or two about how things work down here! (Next thing you know they’ll be wanting into our message boards.)

The horrifying thing is that somewhere in Montgomery on December 1, 1955, somebody really did make a similar rant.
