"What do you think is more exciting? Having Sex or Stealing Cars?" (User Submitted)
That is one baller opening sequence. Maybe I don't despise Moby as much as I thought I did... What's up, fresh!? I was watching Gone in 60 Seconds the other day, and I started daydreaming a little about how awesome it would be if my everyday driver wasn't a middle class shitty economy car... In the spirit of Gone in 60 this weeks TTHA was for you to tell me what tight whip you would be skatin' down the boulevard in if money were no object. No, I am not going to buy you one! You gotta take it! People buy expensive cars for a lot of reasons. Some people want power. Some want luxury. And some are just compensating for something. Which rides did you guys want bad enough to steal?

| Phinny from The Best Podcast... I know what you're thinking. "Wow, you really went off the board with this one, Phinny." When you think of your Dream Car, it usually doesn't involve something you could realistically see yourself purchasing in the next five years. But I'm a simple man, with simple needs. This isn't Cruisin' USA... I don't need a Lamborghini Diablo, Porsche 911, Oldsmobile En Fuego, or anything that has to do with fire. Paul Walker and Vin Diesel are garbage. And their movies? Garbage. All I need is a respectable German-engineered sled, with a good set of speakers, and enough room in the back to put my bass amp. And did I say murdered-out? Yeah make it murdered out. |

| T-Dogg... 1978 trans am. basically because i'm just that cool. my wife would automatically start suckin' my d%$* off every time we got in this ride. other chicks would constantly be tryin' to suck my d%$* off but i'd be like "i'm married to this fine piece of a$$ in the passenger seat. step." |

Sarah gets to boost two this week because she always does her Homework, and I think it's rad that a girl picked not 1, but 2 wicked muscle cars.

| Billy..."I dont want to sound cocky, but my dream car was a lotus elise, ever since i saw it in gran tourismo 2. I remember telling you that I was gonna buy one before I went to Afghanistan." (You sure did, buddy! And you earned it! This isn't a stock photo. This is my good friend Billy in his beautiful Lotus.) |
As always I get 2 because I'm indecisive...also the host...

Well guys, that about wraps it up for this weeks edition of TTHA. As always, I love you for playing along! Hope you had some fun with it. Be sure to drop a line to any of the preferred media trox@troxtalk.com/@troxtalk on Twitter/ Comments section below. Next week I'm in the mood to do some more sports. I'll talk some NFL Draft results, NHL and NBA playoffs, and there might just be something down the pike in the way of another classic "Awful Movie Review". Catch you on the flip!
Warmest Regards,
Trox

I have seen some pretty gnarly wedding dessert treats in my day, but this one takes the...you know what? Screw it.

Cultural Marxism... is it victorious?
After the Russian Revolution failed to ignite a chain reaction of worker uprisings in Europe, the Left, and in particular the Frankfurt School of political/social theorists, (1950s-60s) began looking for other ways to bring about "Liberation" in order to bring in their cherished Marxist Utopian dream.
They recognized that the working class now, was not going rise up in the streets because they simply had it too good under capitalism. As David Horowitz, former Marxist and editor of the largest Left wing newsletter in the USA says "They (workers) found that capitalism spread more money to more people than any other system"....
But.. never let a good story dissuade a radical committed Marxist! You are in BONDAGE and you need to be LIBERATED...whether you like it or not..and you must be "liberated" from all that affluence, and be brought into the communal utopia of Marxist equality. ie.. an equality where it doesn't matter how smart or creative you are.. you cannot use those skills for the benefit of yourself or your family....nope.. the fruit of your intellectual and physical labor must go to some lazy good for nothing who simply knows he will be given 'enough' even if he does only 'just enough' to get by.
In order to bring about "Liberation" it was neccessary for these socialists to identify 'victim groups'.. so under the guidance of Herbert Marcuse and Theodore Adorno, and calling on the psychological theories of Eric Fromm, and the bizzare sexual theories of Wilhelm Reich, they selected such things as:
-Gay liberation.
-Environmental issues
-Womens Studies
-Black studies
-Gender politics
-Sexual liberation
-Animal liberation
The sexual liberation was led by Marcuse, but utilizing ideas of Wilhelm Reich and Eric Fromm. Marcuse also wrote an essay called "Eros and Civilization" in which he called for a "polymorphous perversity" ie.. open slather on all things sexual inside or outside the socially accepted norm. (which of course could mean adult child sex.. human animal sex... orgiastic and various combinations and permutations of numbers of people involved)
The primary issue that we in the West, and in particular in Australia, face..is identifying how such ideas are being 'progressed' today, and by whom.
The unspoken assumption behind all the 'victim' groups listed earlier, is that they are in fact 'victims'...but from whose perspective? on the grounds of whose ideas? which values? According to the Frankfurt school and their ideological offspring- it's "theirs". ie... Marxist ideology...Communism.
When we realize this awful fact, the task of recognizing it, facing it down, challenging it and destroying it becomes much easier.
The other element of this group, was their conviction that if one is "Politically Correct" (by their ideas) then non-them are, politically INcorrect, and unquestionably in need of psychological treatment. This translates into something we will see more and more unless we prevent it "Sensitivity Training". (seems our parents are assumed to have taught us nothing about culture, manners and interpersonal relationships)
The real meaning of such 'training' is always aimed at destroying any sense of prevailing culture in places like the U.K., USA, Europe and Australia.
Once again...I'm going to nag you all.. VIEW "The History of Political Correctness"...and learn what has been, and is being..done to you and by whom!

My permanent residency visa is in my passport
We took the trip to Miami to pick up the visa since it had been almost a month since my request for residency was approved and my visa was sent to the States. We drove down to Ft. Lauderdale, I dropped E off at a gym to train, and then I headed to the consulate. The public can only pick up their visas between 3-4 p.m., regardless of the type of visa you're given. I arrived a bit after 2 p.m., but was seated inside the "visa room" in less than 30 minutes. Since I was one of the first to arrive, I had my visa in my hand (in my passport) only minutes after 3 p.m. and I was on my way....to pick up E, have dinner with one of my college roommates who lives in West Palm, and we were on our way home.
I have to say that it is a relief to have the visa stamped into my passport, and know that not only do I not have to ever pay for another tourist visa to Brazil again, but I have permission to live and work in the country. Yeah. Now we can travel back and forth between the U.S. and Brazil with little trouble (just have to keep our passports current).
As I said, the number of entries is not restricted. The duration of stay is indeterminate.
What I didn't expect was for the chamante (or petitioner) to have his name printed on the visa; I think that's interesting because it doesn't seem necessary. Then again, it is a "family reunion" visa. That is, a visa that was created to keep families together. So E's full name is printed at the bottome.
Along with my visa (and picture) stamped into my passport, I was given the original visa application form that I had filled out, along with the information that I completed when I made my request back in February. This also has my picture on it and all of my information - address, place of employment, my contact in Brazil, information about my trips to Brazil, etc. That was stapled into my passport because I'll need to present these two pages to the federal police when I register.
Now I'm ready (at least as far as my documents are concerned) to settle down in Brazil.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian jiu jitsu is an interesting sport. It's one that I had never been exposed to until I first watched my husband grapple years ago. According to Wikipedia, it "is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. The art was derived from the Japanese martial art of Kodokan judo in the early 20th century."
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or BJJ, looks most like wrestling, though I understand that they are two different sports.
The sport requires that athletes are in top condition, that they are dedicated and tough, and frankly, they should L-O-V-E it. I believe that BJJ can be good for a person's soul. Those athletes that are very serious about the sport, whether amateurs or professionals, tend to become very involved in the sport and spend hours at the gym - on a weekly basis. They simply enjoy training, martial arts, the (extreme) conditioning, and I'd say everything that goes with it.
I'm pleased and proud that E has found something that he is so passionate about, and that he has a talent for. I never thought that I'd be interested in a such a sport. I remember when I was a kid my male cousins used to make fun of wrestling saying that it's just a couple of half naked guys rolling in the floor together. But I can see now that BJJ is much more. And I've seen a lot in the past few years.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu may look funny when in training, slow motion, or in pictures (see above), but it is without a doubt a combat sport. And it's good for you, too. Since my husband is a professional athlete, part of his being in top (health) condition means taking care of himself; he rarely even drinks alcoholic beverages. The sport also gives guys and girls something to be a part of, and it's a healthy alternative to other activities so I'm supportive of my husband's involvement in martial arts.
I'm glad to have the opportunity to continue to learn about BJJ and MMA (mixed martial arts), and to be a supportive wife. I also think it's fun that E gets to train with famous fighters and "big names" in the sports. And it's funny how much I've come to like these aggressive sports and how much I actually want to watch the fights.
Here are a few more pictures that I have taken of E's training. (I took most of the two pictures above):

Didn't See That One Coming...
It just doesn't pay to get behind anyone anymore. Every time I think I have a hero I can count on, they let me down like this. Carson Palmer, Manny Ramirez, Brandon Marshall's wife, and now this...
I will pray every day for the rest of my life that this was somehow fabricate..
By the way, did you get your homework done yet? Get your dream car over to trox@troxtalk.com, so I can forget all about what we just saw. Shameful.

To Meet....
“Do you really want to meet tomorrow?” she asked him for nth time.
“Nope... I have a fucked up haircut, pimple on my face, what if you see me like that and never want to meet me again?” he said.
“Hehe, it’s me, why are thinking so much, I think I’m more than that. Anyways I would’ve travelled whole night, I would look worse then you if that make you feel better”
“You have to wake me up tomorrow morning” he texted her.
“Hmm... lets meet up on Friday or something know, anyways 5:30 in the morning is too early, and I have tried waking you up before it’s not an easy job” she replied back.
She wasn’t sure if she actually wanted to meet him, more than that she knew he would never wake up so early. His earliest time to get up was 9:30.
“Why Friday?” he asked.
“Its holiday on Friday, it’s a government holiday”
“Hmmm... okay”
“So shall I sleep now? You also go to sleep, good night”
It was usually very difficult for difficult for her to sleep in the bus, with the a/c on. She was tossing and turning in hope of getting some sleep, so that it wouldn’t get difficult for her to attend the classes next day. She couldn’t bunk, she already had shortage of attendance. Somehow she managed to sleep a little, when her phone starts viberetating in her pocket. She pulls it out; it was him who was calling her. She cuts the calls, check the time it’s already 4:30 in the morning.
She just woke up in an instant, wide awake, all her sleep was gone.
“You woke up J JJ” she texts him with a wide grin on her face.
“I haven’t slept the whole night” he replied back.
At that moment, all her doubts vanished about meeting him, she couldn’t actually wait to meet him and now it was her chance to say,
“You are so bloody sweet!”
“I have travelled whole night, wearing some stupid t-shirt, and dirty sneakers, I look bad..:( "
“Shut up, and come” is all he replied.
She couldn’t stop smiling pretty much the whole day!

Brasilia National Park
The Brasilia National Park extends over 30 thousand hectares. It is known by locals as "Agua Mineral" (Mineral Water) - due to its springs and pools of running water formed out of water pools that emerge from the margins of the Acampamento Stream. Besides its natural pools, there are also two trails: the Capivara Trail...and the Cristal Agua Trail... On calmer days, it is possible to see specimen from the local fauna, such as armadillos, monkeys, and "capybaras" (a local large rodent mammal). The park is open all through the year, but its best season is between May and October. It is open from 8 am to 4 pm, and a fee is charged to visit. It is located on Via EPIA BR-040, Urban Military Sector, 9th km. For ticket price and other information: + 55 (061) 465-2016.

I hope to have some of my own pictures (taken by me) to share with you in a few months.

Paixão de Cristo
I just thought I'd put it out there that the Miami consulate is closed for holidays - even on days that you may not expect because YOU have to work. This I found out two days ago. We had planned to take a trip to Miami today to pick up my visa (finally), and after speaking with a friend, I had the idea to check out whether or not the consulate was open to business on Good Friday (Paixão de Cristo). And, it wasn't.
I'm glad I figured this out BEFORE I took off the day off from work to travel a few hours (there and back). I had to "reschedule" which was not a problem; I'm just nervously anxious to have the visa in my passport. I mean, the school can get my ticket once I have the visa. Once I have the plane ticket I can make arrangements for my cat as well as shipping my personal belongings.
So, here are the dates that the Consulate-General of Brazil in Miami are closed during the year (2011):
01/17/11 - Monday - Martin Luther King Jr.
02/21/11 - Monday - Washington's Birthday
04/22/11 - Friday - Good Friday
05/30/11 - Monday - Memorial Day
07/04/11 - Monday - Independence Day
09/05/11 - Monday - Labor Day
09/07/11 - Wednesday - Independence of Brazil
10/10/11 - Monday - Columbus Day
11/11/11 - Friday - Veterans Day
11/24 -25/11 - Thursday/Friday - Thanksgiving
12/26/11 - Monday - Christmas
01/02/12 - Monday - New Year
I hope that no one makes the mistake of "visiting" the consulate on a date or time that they are closed from business.
Animals, your new "Master" (with their human sidekick advocates)
Just when you thought you'd heard it all, along comes Dr John Hadley from the University of Western Sydney, to tell us that we must now move "Animal Rights" into the area of 'property rights'..for animals of course.. but you knew that didn't you !
Unfortunately for animals....they can't speak, or attend law school or run litigation, -no problem, their human allies like Dr Hadley will do that for them.
He can't ask them if they want his help... well..he can but the most they can do might be to wag their tails or make their ears prick up.... but say anything? Uh uh. Not a chance.
So we should ask 'from where' does this creepy and Orwellian idea of 'animal property rights' come from? Does it have a philosophical connection with any long existing ideas and political philosophies? You betcha!!
Not only is the idea 'creepy' .. it is also part of a creeping socialism/progressivism which will not relent or stop until you have to fill in a form in triplicate as to whether you can sneeze or cough or go to the loo!
To understand the historical and ideological connection for this novel (and don't forget creepy) idea, we need look no further than the ideas of Dr Hadley's 'spiritual' mentor (in the broadest sense) one Herbert Marcuse.
Marcuse was prominent in the 60s as a Jewish neo marxist who put on the sheeps clothing of "social theorist/academic" when he fled Europe with the rise of the Nazi's. He went to the USA where he, along with others attached themselves like ideological limpit mines to the University of Columbia and became parasites with hyper messianic complex's, on the culture of the United States, which they believed must be 'fixed' along Marxist lines.
Marcuse became widely known in the 60s and was regarded by many as the intellectual oracle for the New Left. There were others of course, - they and Marcuse had inculcated many ideas of radical (some outright communists like Wilhelm Reich) psycholanalysis into his ideology.
One cannot properly understand Hadley, unless one also knows about Marcuse and the ideas of the Frankfurt school of social theorists and the 'Institute for Social Research' they established at Columbia.
All of the major doctines of (especially their radical forms)
-Environmentalism
-Animal 'rights'
-Feminism
-Homosexual 'rights'
-Multiculturalism
-Abolition of borders
-"Equality" laws
etc.. came from these people. (monsters?)
Rather than me just woffle on, I refer the reader to a strikingly ominous documentary which shows how "Political Correctness" (of which Hadley is a member) came from these Marxsits.
The History of Political Correctness.
If that link fails (which it will after the 29th April-2011) try youtube.
Part 1 History of Political Correctness (and the other parts usually show up on the side bar)
This is 'must see' viewing, even more than the gut wrenchingly funny "Frazier Marathon" this easter.
The important point to note, is that these Marxists were confronted with the problem of the failure of violent revolution after the single successful one in Russia. They thought it would catch on, ...but it didn't. They tried to resolve this dilemna by seeking 'other ways' to bring in Socialist Revolution and eventually a fully Communist society. Those 'other ways' turned out to be Political Correctness and the many manifestations listed above.
The problem for us, is that even to make such a list is suggestive that only these people (marxists) were concerned about them. Such an idea is ridiculous and is a complete denial of history. For just one example
the SLAVE TRADE was abolished in the West, largely becuase of the work of evangelical Christians like William Wilberforce and John Newton. (who wrote Amazing Grace)
In way, to list such things as animal rights etc, is also to lay claim to them. That is a major deception.
Never..NEVER forget the shield/coat of arms between the Fabian Socialists in their stained glass 'Window'...which is mean't to represent their movement. It has a wolf in sheeps clothes on the shield.
Probably of greater concern for Aussies is the fact that most Labor prime ministers ARE Members of the Australian Fabians. The most radical was Gough Whitlam, (with is trusty multiculturalism sidekick Al Grassby).
But 'this' one is also a member:
Notice the 'Carbon Tax' ? Notice how many groups want 'compensation'?
Unions especially. The real agenda here is not the evvironment, but 'wealth redistribution'. Standard communism basically.
Unfortunately for animals....they can't speak, or attend law school or run litigation, -no problem, their human allies like Dr Hadley will do that for them.

I had the esteemed honor and pleasure of once again holding down a guest spot on The Best Podcast this week. We did a nice little Mystery Science Theater style episode called Movie Tracks that can be synced up with the 1987 smash film Robocop. It's available on Netflix, but you should already own the directors cut. If you wanna share a few laughs with Phinny, Dave, and myself, you should queue this up. If you don't have access to the movie, then you are a knob, but you should still check em out at www.thebestcast.com . I think TroxTalk readers will especially appreciate episode 15.
Carl Hates Everything. (1 User Submitted)
As you all know, TTHA is my favorite time of the week where I get to connect directly with you, get inside your head a little, and find out what makes my readers tick. Not this week. This week for the Homework Assignment I asked you guys to name something you absolutely hate that everyone else seems to think is pretty sweet... Now do you remember back at the science fair in 3rd grade when you would bring in your solar system made out of bouncy balls from the quarter machines at Big Lots, and then some jagaloon would roll in a few minutes later with a to-scale model of the Hubble Space Telescope (his dad worked for NASA) that took actual video footage while baking pizzas for the entire class? That overachiever was loyal reader, Carl. He ran away with the blue ribbon this week, wrecked the grading curve, and now all of the rest of you are just going to have to study up and wait for your chance to shine next week.
Carl is a brilliant mind who frequents TroxTalk even though he has to move down a weight class for his I.Q. to process my immature ramblings on this blog. He always contributes, and he's always entertaining, so I don't even bother to ask what he's doing here. Why does the most interesting man in the world prefer Dos Equis? That's kind of like our friend Carl. He doesn't always read the blogs of lowly degenerates, but when he does, he prefers TroxTalk.com.
All I asked for was a simple "thing you hate" and it lit a fuse inside Carl which exploded like a thousand pounds of TNT from a Wile E. Coyote cartoon all over my email inbox...It was a list, in all caps, which made me laugh until my eyes welled up and my face was beet red. It was a random assortment, in no particular order, of the things Carl hates. And frankly, Carl Hates Everything. The truth is, even though this post is in his honor, I doubt Carl will be able to suffer through it's entirety.

Little flavor and unless cooked correctly it's always dry. It's on every fucking menu because it's cheap and the favorite piece of chicken by people who also happen to like bland, dry food. I get excited about a chicken dish on a restaurant menu, then I see it's a breast and I don't order it. Always skinless, which just removes flavor. If it's fried with skin, it can pass. SKIN AND DARK MEAT are where the flavor game is in chicken.
It's corny, I don't like the twang noise, and it's embraced by a lot of people who think stupid is a virtue.
It's just accepted that they shit and piss in your house. Clean up is one of the worst jobs in the world, which I had for many years as my wife brought a cat into our relationship. Fuck cats.
Endless high-pitched barking. Can't leave them in a house for any length of time because they can't "hold it" for very long.
ENDLESS DISSECTING OF LOCAL SPORTS MINUTIAE. BORING. Even if I'm passionate about a team, hearing assholes on the radio go on and on about them makes me like the team less. Maybe I'd disagree if I lived in a big city.
I know there's a lot of behind-the-scenes complexity and strategy in this sport, but the actual action of the "game," which is cars driving in a fucking oval with an occasional wreck is mind-numbing.
I don't want to see a man's underwear.
THEY'RE UGLY. Makes the woman wearing them look like a fucking witch. They also look like the weapons of man-hating, bitchy women. It hurts my balls just looking at them.
And boom goes the dynamite. Carl just went wire to wire on this weeks TroxTalk Homework Assignment. Everyone else, step your game up or else this thing could become CarlTalk.com. For those of you besides Carl who made submissions, don't worry I like to keep it fair. You'll get your own mini posts throughout the weekend too. Anytime I see this kind of effort go into making TroxTalk better, I'll let it go on as long as it needs to. No one who contributes and contributes well is going to get cut short. I would like to remind everyone that the views and opinions expressed in this TTHA were Carl's and Carl's alone. (Except the Bud Light part. That shit is gross.) If you disagree with any of it, which I'm sure some of you do, leave a comment, and I can probably get Carl to tear you a new one. Thanks again for making my job easy this week, Carl. You're the man, and my new hero. In Carl We Trust.
Warmest Regards,
Trox
P.S. There is only ONE guy who hates more stuff than Carl does.
Carl is a brilliant mind who frequents TroxTalk even though he has to move down a weight class for his I.Q. to process my immature ramblings on this blog. He always contributes, and he's always entertaining, so I don't even bother to ask what he's doing here. Why does the most interesting man in the world prefer Dos Equis? That's kind of like our friend Carl. He doesn't always read the blogs of lowly degenerates, but when he does, he prefers TroxTalk.com.
All I asked for was a simple "thing you hate" and it lit a fuse inside Carl which exploded like a thousand pounds of TNT from a Wile E. Coyote cartoon all over my email inbox...It was a list, in all caps, which made me laugh until my eyes welled up and my face was beet red. It was a random assortment, in no particular order, of the things Carl hates. And frankly, Carl Hates Everything. The truth is, even though this post is in his honor, I doubt Carl will be able to suffer through it's entirety.

My wife watches some of these which is why I know about them. I can't make it past 5 minutes of listening to the rich, pretentious women on these shows talk about anything without feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack if I don't find a window to jump out of.
