Reblog to Improve Your Karma!
Another letter from a reader…
Dear Camelus,
I’m outraged! Like many other namby-pamby liberals, I voted for Barack Obama for President. I hate to say it now, but I believed in his change. I hoped, like his posters demanded.
And since January 2009, I’ve been living in a constant state of disappointment. Where is the free-love vegan commune of 308 million people that having a...

Quick Tips for Gangsta Rappers
When my pasty white alter ego was living in Scottsdale, Arizona (motto: The Soulsucking Wasteland Where Vapid Yuppies Go To Die Luxuriously) as a teenager, listening to rap music just wasn’t an option. His father would have murdered him, and what’s more, found a sympathetic white jury to exonerate him.
Those were simpler, more innocent times, when suburban whites were terrified that...
Al Andalus and Its Highly Refined Cuisine
I just want to express my heartfelt gratitude this evening.
The people of Al Andalus are wise in many ways. One thing they have taught me is to eat fried eggs for breakfast, fried eggs for lunch, and fried eggs for dinner.
If I had continued living in the Sonora, I might have spent the rest of my life arbitrarily classifying fried eggs as a breakfast food!
The ultra-minimalist pantry, of...
On the Theriogenology of Camels
A reader has brought Llamaweb to my attention, and especially this book on the theriogenology of camels.
“What are camels doing on a website about llamas?” you may ask. A very good question! Llamas are part of the camelid family also, we all evolved from a common ancestor about 45 million years ago.
Theriogenology, for those of you who don’t know, is a high-falutin word for...

How to Go from Suburbanite to Gangsta Rapper
As a self-help guru, I wouldn’t be earning my keep if I didn’t help people achieve their dreams. The bigger the dream, the better, I say. Today’s article: how a pasty white suburbanite can become a star of gangsta rap (in just 3 easy steps!) Glock photo by Smarter.

Pranayama, Motherfuckers!
Today I’d like to call your attention to something almost universally ignored in our culture: our breathing.
Most of the time, people assume that we’re all breathing all the time anyway, and so we’re probably doing it right.
That kind of blind faith is what leads people to think that a Taco Bell burrito with a 64oz Pepsi is a healthy lunch. All the miserable, depressed, obese...

Minimalist Compassion, Revisited
I just noticed that Homeless in Portland made an extended comment on my Minimalist Compassion post.
First off, I would like to thank him. My strict editorial policy here at the office (and by office I mean my unglamorous shared flat in a 3rd rate neighborhood of a 2nd rate European city) is to wake up early in the morning, get buzzed on my own neurotransmitters through a potent cocktail of...
