BarfBadge Denied: Tasmania Fame

"This picture (not the most flattering I’ll admit - but we were all required to where thermal protective gear at the time) is me at The Cleveland Port Authority -- Building 1750 the site thought to house the disturbance responsible for the recent  docklands damage and river fire.

Now of course we all know that Cleveland is beyond interesting, not only as the leading exporter of crippling depression, frequent STV coverage, haunt of Vigilante Kane and home of BU professor E. Gump but also as a powerful homophone in its own right: Cleave Land !!!

The dangerous nature of this homophone (can’t say we weren’t warned on STV) is demonstrated in this exclusive photo where an unbelievable amount of thermal energy was released from subterranean regions actually melting the building and surrounding machinery into a reflective silica like substance, and simultaneously beginning the process of cleaving the Earth itself in twain!!

As if all this was not interesting enough, consider that it is believed that Cleveland Port Authority -- Building 1750 lies at the direct intersection of several world-wide Pyramid Power Axis!!"

Right. I gotta admit I've had confusing entries and emails before, but this one takes the effin' cake. All I asked for was a picture of a building. Is that really so hard? If I'd wanted effin' pictures of a hole in the ground I'd have created the Bury My Rat BarfBadge.

Now admittedly, as holes in the ground go, it is one of the more interesting ones around. The fact that something got hot enough to turn the dirt into glass and color it blue via vaporized copper and slag some other metal (Spaz thinks titanium) into decorative striations isn't something you see everyday.

But some of the effin' crap in that description! Like a slag hole in a warehouse in Cleveland was the starting point of cleaving the earth in two? Thermal energy released from subterranean regions? I want to join your after-after parties Fame so I can think up stuff like that. Well, and maybe for some K&K with your fans if you know what I mean. Nice!

And thinking that pyramids had something to do with this? Now I'll be the first to admit that the wording "it is believed that..." makes that statement undeniably true, but believed by who? The same people that are sure that Giant Hamsters will cause the end of the world? And come on, especially given Cleveland's history with pyramids. Look how they even messed up their own.

Now I can see how you might not have noticed, since you probably think that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was a building that was all about you, but they cut their effin' pyramid in half! Morons! So in spite of your plain politicking for a "> 25/25" I have to strain even my legendary generosity to rate this a 13/25. And please, everyone, don't all rush to submit any more pictures of holes in the ground, or I'll ask Steve Martin to write me a blog post defining the word 'building'. Reading that'd chew up the rest of your week.
