Good for you. That way you won't be responsible for 24/7 like we've come to expect! Threads fill up so fast here--and they're interesting and fun to read.

Everyone should go to John Conyer's blog and sign the letter demanding the Bush administration answer for the Downing Street Memo. He wants 100,000 signatures.
Wait a minute. They're already part of the brain trust. Cloning maybe?

i'm confused. maybe i should put this downstairs, but i think the way men react to sports is funny. this weekend danica patrick is supposed to be near the top in the indy 500. men are clapping for joy at her. (is it cuz whe posed in a bikin at one point). they drool over maria sharapova and anna pornikova, and somewhat over the williams sisters. they love beach volleyball. they like women's soccer when one rips off her shirt (but you can see more skin at your local park's jogging track!) but they hate hate hate hate hate hate the wnba. i don't get it. is it because the women of the wnba could kick most mens asses? i mean, hell a number of wbna women have posed in next to nothing, yet men, generally, scorn it. weird.
Eli must be stopped!
Eh? My blog's a mini-empire? Why didn't anyone *tell* me?
Oh well, I guess it's not too late to mini-torture some people...
Eli,
Check your mail for softball leads.
What! No eschaton cafe? Mebbe you could has Mrs. Poissoniere serve up some brie and cheese.

now, to be fair, i commented here on that thursday night! 
i am fucking proud of that. i love trent's sarcasm. "Apparently the people at MTV find the president's face as distasteful as I do."
Thanks, Mar - will fill it out today. Hopefully...
but they hate hate hate hate hate hate the wnba. i don't get it. is it because the women of the wnba could kick most mens asses?
i think it's mainly because most of the women in the WNBA are black...
how do i become part of a brain trust? not that i trust my brain all that much, but... i feel left out.
The more the merrier!
i think it's mainly because most of the women in the WNBA are black...
WoodyGuthriesGuitar (aka...) |
well, that could be. except the same men who love the NBA hate the WNBA. so I don't know. I think it might have to do with the fact that women actually know how to shoot the ball, and there aren't super-dee-doopiter slam dunks.
but they hate hate hate hate hate hate the wnba. i don't get it. is it because the women of the wnba could kick most mens asses?

I think Lisa Leslie and Sheryl Swoopes are hot as hell, personally...
I was at a hotel in Indianapolis when the college women's basketball finals were being held there. I have never felt so short and pale and dumpy in all my life. Those girls were glorious, and yes, predominantly black.
I dimly recall a racy, very James Bond-esque (or perhaps Barbarella) opening sequence in the pilot movie for Buck Rogers, and I'm pretty sure it was Erin Gray as the sultry figure, but I can not be sure. I only saw it when it originally aired oh so long ago.
The pilot movie has never been available as far as I know. I see Buck Rogers is out on DVD now. Does it include the full pilot movie? Is the opening scene I recall actually there? I'm not sure I liked the series enough to buy the DVD set. Although I certainly watched the show faithfully as a lad.
it's not the Battlestar Galactica erin grey is it?
Forget drinking and driving; it's not even safe to drink and ride...
Or perhaps the RWI in question here is "Riding While an Idiot"...
Eli, your pic on your webpage of the nekkid bankers makes me think of one of the branches of the Royal Bank of Scotland in London. there are all these creepy, ghostly, witch-like statues on the outside. i kept thinking, if I were british, I would bank here, solely on the creep statues.
and if you keep posting photos, we'll be able to figure out where you are make you stop giving up on haloscan!
and if you keep posting photos, we'll be able to figure out where you are make you stop giving up on haloscan!
I thought I was the one saying that giving up on tags would mean the terrorists won...
But if I had any coding skills at all, I would develop eliscan to free the world from haloscan's nefarious tyrrany.
"Tyranny", rather. "Tyrrany" was a tribute to the late Thurl Ravenscroft. Um, yeah, that's the ticket...
PoppieProng, WG'sGuitar - Nope. That would be the easy answer, but not the right one.
Many of us hate the WNBA because it's original rival was a better game, had better players (WNBA teams are still hard-pressed to shoot 30%, and it's not because of Pistonian defence), and actually demonstrated that women CAN play basketball that is worth paying for (as anyone who saw players from Cheryl Miller to Kara Lawson could tell you).
They may know how to shoot the ball, but the WNBA hasn't developed from being the league where the goal looks as if it is to get style points, not to actually put the ball THROUGH THE HOOP Y'ALL.
eli, by god you're right! you wanted pixie to not give up, and then someone blamed YOU!
damn, that's scary how effective that was!!!!!
I am so out of the loop. Who are these people. Do I want to associate with them at 4:00 a.m. Have I ever read anything by them? They don't sound like regulars.
Actually, I couldn't care less about the WNBA because I couldn't care less about basketball in general...
Baseball and football, on the other hand, I could watch every day.
ken houghton, you make good points. there was a separate women's league wasn't there? what was its acronym? i can't remember.
I think Lisa Leslie and Sheryl Swoopes are hot as hell, personally...
Eli - - 12:39 pm
in racialist parlance, Leslie to a greater degree than Swoopes, both are 'house negroes': paler skinned ('high-yellow'), more caucasoid physiognomies; whereas a large group of the women of the WNBA are really dark, blunt-featured, frizzy-haired african-looking women, or what used to be known as 'field negroes.'
many if not most white men love the 'house negroes'; are terrified of the field negroes (of both genders)...
imho
Hell, you leave for a month, Atrios, I'm surprised that there hasn't been a hostile takeover bid yet.
All those blogad millions, yah know?
Morning moonbats - dark as night here and raining.
This Gil Gerard?
being in houston, with our astros struggling to score runs against even the PIRATES (sorry, Eli!) and the Rockets out of the playoffs makes Houston a very boring sports place this summer. it's so bad, the local sports-talk stations are doing recaps of the Texans' coaching sessions!
Personally, I like to watch NCAA women's softball.
As for the wnba, I don't think most men hate looking at the women, just watching them play the sport. Their style of play isn't as exciting as the style of play in the men's game. At least that is the opinion of many men.
I blame haloscan.

Pfft. I'm a transplant from NYC - I don't really care about the Pittsburgh teams one way or t'other, aside from really hating the Penguins.
Oh, now I get it. It was a joke.
Welcome back to the U.S. Atrios. W is still an asswipe.

hehehehehehehe.
the funny thing is, i thought i actually recognized the name Gil Gerard as someone actually had a poliblog. Erin Grey I didnt know, but I had my doubts when all i could find was pix of Battlestar Galactica.
makes Houston a very boring sports place this summer
That's Haloscan's fault.
still in spain. back tuesday, but off to DC wednesday
That's Haloscan's fault.
well, of course. doesn't help, though, that Houston doesn't need any help to be pretty boring. it's not like Austin where just being in Austin is nice. you don't have to do a damn thing in Austin, and you're still having fun. But Houston? You have to go to a movie, and then a play, and then the opera, and then the museum, and then dinner, and then another movie, just to say you had a good day!

How 'bout sweaty and fat Gil Gerard?
QL,
Yep, that Gil Gerard.He and Ms. Grey were the stars of a guilty pleasure called Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century.
They were always going to rescue someone from the planet of bikini clad slave women... and there was that catsuit and a little robot that found g rated ways to mouth off. Not classic entertainmant, but hey it was fun.
How 'bout sweaty and fat Gil Gerard?
ugh. was he wearing a flak jacket or something?
this is off thread but visit this web site and count the military jet planes. This is another massive waste of tax dollars...These are all boneyard jet airplanes that are stored at Davis Monthan AFB and sit there turning to dust....pass this site along to all people who are protesting high taxes...

Nice to see, unlike Gil, that Erin Grey has stayed away from the craft service table. Yum.

so... that would make you twiggy?

You mean, the last ones?
know what i hate? i hate looking at people who are at the same cafe as i am and thinking "my god! he's here every weekend. he needs to get a life." and then realizing that i only know he's here every weekend, cuz... i'm... here... every.... weekend. 
but, i'm writing, so i have an excuse. all he does is drive up in his Subaru WRX Sti and download drag-racing videos onto his laptop. Pisses me off that he's like 20 or something, has a better laptop than me, and a car that costs 75% of my annual salary.

Erection tampering and blindness go hand-in-hand.
Erection tampering and blindness go hand-in-hand.
To be fair, First Draft was an empire from the beginning. WE had one first! Damn you, Atrios! Remember when you used to keep it real?
A.
viagra causes blindness. i mean, i know masturbating does-
I figured the pills were priced too high for guys to go solo with them. I wonder if there is a socio-economic correlation with those who are suffering blindness? If so, that means they are also likely to be Republicans.
Isn't Erin Grey that woman from Silver Spoons?
Someone post a link of her writing?
What is this Buck Rogers you speak of? /snark
should have watched more scifi, huh?

Atrios loves Chachi.
Attaturk--proper emperors blogwhore. You're behind the curve this morning.
"You could see that one coming a mile away."
eh...nevermind
We haven't been naughty. We cleaned up the spilled food and drinks. And the broken fish bowl. (don't flush the toilet in the back bathroom until someone replaces said fish bowl, ok?)
You can't even see the troll stains on the carpet either. So there.
For a few weeks running now, I've been covering Bush's Saturday radio address in my podcast on, well, Saturdays. The latest.
It has to be done. First off there was a major risk of burn out after the 2004 election, too many bloggers trying to run 24 hour news services single handed. Wasn't at all healthy.
But the bigger problem is that for all folk are jumping up and down saying how diverse the blogosphere is and how there are a million bloggers the fact is that 95% of traffic goes to about 10 big blogs. There is less diversity in the blogosphere that is read than in the main stream media. There are more separate voices in the New York Times than in the whole blogosphere.
We need to have more voices or the blogosphere wil turn into a Web version of talk radio. It is bad enough having the talking heads on TV mouthing off as experts on every topic under the sun without having bloggers try to do likewise.
I emailed a friend at work that we really shouldn't laugh about viagra causing blindness, and she wrote back that she wasn't.
Way more than I needed to know.
Erin Grey is still spandex-ready. Wow!

I remember that Erin Grey was the main reason to watch Buck Rogers.

It's good that Atrios and Susie and others have guest posters and try to give them exposure. It'd be nice if they tried to expand those efforts--through a weekly blogaround or something, or heck, mebbe something like the old TTLB Showcase. There are a lot of excellent voices that are barely heard above the noise of the celebrity blogs.

Line mine! Why, just in the last couple of days, I've had an Exorcist III quote, naked bankers, and a majestic pigeon on the wing! And, um, a rant.
On a serious note, I've wondered how long Atrios can keep it up. The blog, that is. It is actually up and running 24/7. Sooner or later he will get burned out.
Erm, *like* mine.
Nothing more pathetic than misspelling your own blogwhoring...
Why, just in the last couple of days, I've had an Exorcist III quote, naked bankers, and a majestic pigeon on the wing! And, um, a rant.
Which is exactly the kinda shit we need!
You have to count the comments as part of the "voices in the blogosphere." Sure, we have a lot of fun and games here -- and punning -- to relieve our minds from the Bush regime trainwreck, but I've also been led to a lot of stories and issues that weren't on my radar screen by the commenters here.

Well, if he takes too much Viagra in the process, he can get a braille keyboard for his computer, so no worries.

Oh, and this weekend marks the return of TBTM Radio. We're hitting the studio today to produce the first one in nearly a year. Can't wait.
This is true. There is a wealth of stuff in the comments.

How about something simple like getting rid of Haloscan? It is 20th century technology (almost)!

I just made a reservation in your fair city. Any sights we should look out for.
My cats have been at the kennel for exactly two hours and the house feels empty. Even with Mr. QL at home.

All I got was a rock.
Does anyone know how much we paid for each jet aircraft weapon platform cost the US taxpayers? I have counted over 1063 and I know I missed some of the little ones. If we do the math, does it come out to over a billion dollars sitting there in the dust and sand? Why isn't somebody angry about this?
I wondered if you'd popup, but I never should have doubted you.
What a silly bunt.
I already posted this on the dead thread below but thought it was worth putting it here as well.
The Washington Post has two stories listed under "Politics"
Bush Pushes Base Closure Plan
• Rice Well Received in Calif.
The Bush story discusses what Bush said and says that the graduates cheered each other. (The graduates offered loud cheers for one another as their names were called to receive their diplomas, with the loudest cheers reserved for colleagues who made it despite borderline grade-point averages or other setbacks.) There was no indication that Bush was ever applauded or cheered. It did say that he "delighted" the crowd by putting on a "blue and gold sweat suit jacket" given to him.
The Rice Story includes the following Rice was greeted with a standing ovation. She was interrupted by applause several times and was asked questions about as challenging as those at a presidential town hall meeting.
From the differing tones of the stories I think we can pretty much assume that Bush bombed at Annapolis.
QL in NY: (regarding Portland OR visit)
If you have wheels, a trip east on I-84 to the Columbia Gorge (l hour each way) is awesome. Get off I-84 and take the historic highway along the Columbia and stop at some of the waterfalls (like Multnomah Falls) either coming or going.
The Chinese Garden in downtown is great. Take the 1 hour guided tour for sure. Located in Chinatown - easy walk from hotels in the Pioneer Square area.
The Rose Garden in Washington Park is also super. 15 min from downtown - accessible by bus too.
Oh, lunch in Portland Grill (30th Floor view east toward Mt. Hood) is good but pricy. Cheap happy hour food though.
Soooo much to do, so little time, typically.
Well, if he takes too much Viagra in the process, he can get a braille keyboard for his computer, so no worries.
NTodd-No, use levitra, and he can then use that 4 hour erectile penis to type out new threads.

"Isn't Erin Grey that woman from Silver Spoons?"
Same person, but no catsuit in silver spoons, I think. Although that would have been a helluva episode, as l;ittle ricky spots....
OT:
Anyone read Andrew Sullivan and his repeated attempts to distance himself from the Bush War he helped kick start? Sad. Today he has another moment of feigned shock and awe at how incompetent the Bushies are.
He's really like a battered spouse -- continues to come back to the one that hates him.
I think all the so-called South Park Republicans fit into this category --
The Trained Ape's take
What a silly bunt.
Since that's a favorite skit of mine, I know how foul your bomment really is.
Hooray for Trent Reznor! When artists, especially alternative rock artists, are asked to "tone down the politics," you know we've entered StupidLand.
MTV lost its cred, such as it was, so long ago, it's not surprising. But it's yet another example of why we can't have the media in the hands of corporations.
Another example in a series of zillions, of course.
I'm waiting for other groups, such as Green Day, to boycott MTV. It'd be great if there was a mass walkout of the awards.
What if MTV gave an awards show and nobody came?
use that 4 hour erectile penis to type out new threads.
Gives a whole new meaning to the word keystroke.
And Erin Grey was a MILF for this chimp back in the day
Since that's a favorite skit of mine, I know how foul your bomment really is.
Yes, that line drives me to laughter pretty Conesistently.
he can then use that 4 hour erectile penis to type out new threads.
Does he have a prehensile penis?
And Erin Grey was a MILF for this chimp back in the day
TRAINED APE
agreed, and right between the Catherine Bach phase and adultfhood
prehensile penis?
I want one! Avaiable on eBay?
I wonder if Atrios drank many Watney's Red Barrel when in Spain (I'm sure he stayed at the Hotel Mirimar)
MTV must go away.
Another OT:
Anyone see any good real analyses of that story the right wing media was pushing the other day about the states' windfall in tax revenue?
The outlets were making it sound like everything was utopian in state budgets -- not here in chimpland.
Does he have a prehensile penis?
Is that like a vaginal wrench?

For Rice, Unexpected Sanctuary by the Bay
http://www.washingtonpost.com/
wp...5052701290.html
At a noon speech Friday at the Commonwealth Club of California -- the topic was spreading democracy throughout the world -- Rice was greeted with a standing ovation. She was interrupted by applause several times and was asked questions about as challenging as those at a presidential town hall meeting.
[snip]
Chanting "Stop the torture, stop the killing, U.S. out of Iraq," they were quickly ushered out by a police SWAT team, as the audience cheered and applauded.
[snip]
There was some grumbling from the press row that the questions sounded as if they were written by the same friendly person. But the audience was rapt, clearly appreciative of Rice's scholarly knowledge of the Soviet Union and its demise, which she called a pivotal moment in world history.
On her legacy, Rice paid homage to her predecessors and talked about aiming for big goals. She said she believes that one day there would be democracy and freedom and peace in the Middle East.
From the applause and ovation that followed, the audience heartily wanted to believe her.
he "delighted" the crowd by putting on a "blue and gold sweat suit jacket" given to him.
Then he demonstrated his patented technique for tying shoelaces, amazing the crowd.

There he goes again with his dress up games. It's really his best trick.
Actually, Atrios, my theory is it's you who started the arms race when you went away and left Eschaton in the hands of A, A, and E. You scared the others so much they started merging blogs in pure self-defence.

puppethead,
sorry to come in a bit late (and the only reason I've opened this thread is the WTF factor about Gil Gerard and Erin Grey, I mean WTF?)
Yes that sequence was at the start of the pilot. It had both Erin Grey and the actress who played Ardala (or whatever her name was). I watched it just a couple of weeks ago after having downloaded it with BitTorrent, though that was actually a couple of months ago so I doubt it's still being seeded.
