If matters don't improve, Richard Gere's spiritual leader has announced he'll step down.

I don't know much about Buddhism, except that they can disembowel you with a kick and are really good flipping through a telephone directory. But I seem to recall from an Eddie Murphy movie that the Dalai Lama is a continually reincarnated version of the original. So if he resigns, where do they get another one? Do they have one ready in the axlotl tanks?

Things were so much simpler when they just self-immolated.

from Seattle is the heir apparent? I believe there's a spiritual and temporal bifurcation of authority among the reincarnated anointed, though, but the kid is one of the two, and I thought I read that Steven Seagal had to risk his life to protect him. Soon, he will have to leave his Playstation behind forever.

and hum a few bars (I can't sing) of "Another One Bites The Dust" but I fear the fraudulent fool is only bluffing. Too bad all of those "spiritual leaders" wouldn't vote themselves out of existence.

An easy mistake, what with the soul transference. In fairness, I may have been thinking Jurassic Park in regard to the disemboweling kicks. It has been confirmed that Buddhists can make seemingly impossible leaps in slow motion. Also, they can dance on the ceiling.

You noted their corruption of those simple Buddhist kids when they assimilated the Fray, I suspect there are nefarious plans unfolding in Tibet as we speak...

for Richard Gere's spirit. It's a good thing Julia Roberts isn't reading your hateful rant.

Can't have spirits wandering around loose, now, can we?

You do something about Richard Gere's poor lost wondering spirit and I'll look after Julia's:)

Lap-tops, cool underwater watches, brass knuckles.

The Human Network has heralded the decline of many institutions. They are the Eliot Spitzer of the End Times.

for that one.

"Dalai Lama threatens to resign". What does that even mean? The man can't resign. I mean, he could, but it wouldn't matter. There's not a College of Lamas to elect a new one.

That's about the most absurd threat since Gloria Steinem warned she'd hold her breath if Obama were nominated.

to resign as Britney Spears. It's not as if he can quietly change his name to Duane and run a bowling alley in Pasadena.

Though I wish to disassociate myself from your comments likening the leader of the worldwide Buddhist faith to a gum-snappin, flip-flop-wearin, double-wide-dwellin pop star. Even if she still is sorta cute.

Denouncing and rejecting . . .

any more than Hillary can disassociate herself from this: try as she might.

(apologies to anyone who has already seen this as I've linked to it in at least a dozen posts now; just can't help myself, I love this guy)

I can't get streaming stuff on this connection. Cruel girl. You were just mining this thread for sound-bites.

Wouldn't it be nice if ALL the planet's practitioners - Madonna Kaballah included - would spray some enlightenment spells and pave the Dalai's road ahead. I guess it don't work like ammo, though.
