WORMING OF THE GORB

Whole bunch of news on gorbal worming from Reason’s Ronald Bailey. It’s caused by stars, incidentally.

  1. Yeah, one great big fucking star, we call it the sun. A little too hard for superstitious greenbats to comprehend - it can only be due to the inherently evil internal combustion engine.

  2. I’m confused by “gorbal” warming. What does it mean? Does it have something to do with the excessive intake of chili peppers by one of these?

  3. I believe it is a derivative of the other noun “gorb”. The large egocentric sphere preciously perched on top of Al Gore’s neck.  Gorbal: The illogical inflation of one’s self importance.

  5. We didn’t have the predicted sleet storm yesterday.  Gorbal worming?  I want more!

  6. Well that settles it. No more procrastinating on that krill stockpile. It starts today.

  8. All I know is that it is getting more and more brillig, and my backyard is positively chock-a-block with slithy toves. All that gyring and gimbaling kept me awake all wabe.

    If I were feeling less mimsy and a little more frumious, I’d take my gorbal sword in hand and outgrabe the lot of them.

  11. Its not “Gorbal worming”, nitwits.  its “gerbil warning”. 

    Run for your lives! The
    gerbils are coming!  aiiiieeeee….

  12. Not gerbils; flying squirrels. And the taxpayes of Ontario are paying for it courtesy of Liberal Premier, Dalton McGuinty, to learn more about gorbal worming:

  13. It’s the name given to the procedure of giving medication to children to protect them from intestinal parasites. In this particular instance, the youngsters of a once tough area of Glascow.

  15. Admiral John Kerry, polar explorer, just last Friday discovered a disappearing ice sheet http://rhhardin.home.mindspring.com/imuscut.icesheet.ram and claimed it for America

  16. It’s caused by stars, incidentally.

    Stars like automotive guru Jeremy Clarkson!

    Meanwhile depletion of the ozone layer is caused by evergreen entertainer Tom Jones, while the fall in local frog populations is caused by the always lovely Ursula Andress! And if you’re worried about logging in the Amazonian rainforest, just look to the cast of ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’!

    Stars! Is there anything they can’t do?

  17. blandwagon may be on to something.  I’m sure Susan Saranwrap has something to do with the present crisis of gorbal worming.

    Just what the bloody hell are your countrymen up to?

    The glass is half empty

  19. Under Canada’s restrictions on alcohol advertising, ads cannot feature anyone enjoying alcohol. Full glasses are fine, but a half-empty glass apparently shows people drink the stuff.

    What?  Filled-up beer glasses aren’t just ornamental gee-gaws? 
    Hmp!  They DO look pretty ... the way they catch the light ... the amber color ... and when you get right down to it, full beer glasses ARE a lot prettier than half-full ones. 
    I’m torn ...
