GravatarI got nuthin'.


Gravatardam, dam, DAM!


GravatarAll right!!!


Gravatarbuckwheat to u2 to trent reznor to common.


GravatarAnd we'll have fun, fun, fun till SWR takes our oxygen away...


GravatarSorry, sally - I wasn't even trying.


GravatarShit! I just took a second to take a hit and scratch my balls and I miss another thread.


GravatarI'm still sick of the phrase "on the ground." See the end of the last open thread if you are too.


GravatarDamn, cheetos are all gone. Guess it's time to lick the bottom of the bag.


GravatarNight, all.

Sleep well.


GravatarExcellent.

At used my thread subtitle suggestions.

Happy, but not over happy.


Gravatarmtv is actually watchable tonite.


GravatarIt is all right mena, you beat me fair and square.


GravatarI tuned out for a couple of days.

Is that man still president?


GravatarNYMary,

Why, sex organs, of course.

My son's a Scorpio.

You still waters run deep.


GravatarHere it comes...

Check out Sunday's Brooks at NYT.

It is THE GOVERNMENT that failed in New Orleans. This disaster just goes to show that THE GOVERNMENT simply isn't capable of handling these kinds of problems.

Not THIS GOVERNMENT in particular. No. Even if someone competent had been running the show, the result would have been the same.

Watch. This is how they'll try to play it out. You can't trust THE GOVERNMENT to do things right. Let's make it smaller. Farm our disaster relief to Wal-Mart.

Gravatarmena,
You have flown, sister, from ending threads to starting them. You rock!


GravatarIf you want some entertaining local-type discussions on the hurricane - check out the "homepage" link - it goes to the Jackson, MS Clarion Ledger's forums - someone just dropped a bomb in the "Hurricane Katrina" forum & it's about to get good.


GravatarAh, the Russian is ex-KGB. We guessed that!


GravatarI think Unhappy Trophy Wife likes Russian Tracksuit Ninja Cabbie.


GravatarThings got a bit heated in the thread below.


GravatarMine is too, Hecate. Well, he's a Libra with mercury, mars and venus in Scorpio. He just spends more time worrying about the fairness of it all.

And, yeah, those waters run deeeep.


GravatarI like the hat Beck has on.

He's doing a good Dylan impression.


Gravatar Ah, the Russian is ex-KGB. We guessed that!

I just figured *all* Russian cabbies knew how to fight.


Oh, and it has... that guy! That guy who has bit parts in, like, every Sci-Fi movie ever made!

GravatarWhy can't the head of a major drug company get someone to call Bulgaria ahead of time and arrange for a limo & security, again?

GravatarNYMary,

GravatarEh?


GravatarLeo with Mars Bar in conjunction with sirloin steak rising...


Gravatar Eli- which guy?

The rather large bearded guy in the yellow helmet - think his name was Alexander.

Sadly, as cute as Beck is, he is a scientologist.

Why are the cute ones always gay, married, or scientologist?


GravatarHecate,
We're thinking Dierdre for a girl. No boys names yet.

GravatarThat Beck believes that aliens inhabit humans or whatever they beleieve, makes his lyrics a little more real.

Gravatarmena,
Well, yeah. That's the point! And she'll be our Irish twin, a scant 20 months behind her sister.

I love how she wears those dominatrix boots with those old lady clothes of hers.

And that hair - one African-American friend of mine said "Honey, black women haven't worn their hair like that since the 1950s."

You can't say Bush is totally a coward. There HAS to be SOME element of danger getting a blow job from THOSE teeth.

Oh, and all that pancake makeup she wears? It only makes those acne scars MORE noticeable.

Woohoo. Libra rules the adrenals, lower back, and blood vessels.

Gravatarjust read about another missing musician in NO, Barry Cowsill, of the well-known 60s family singing group, The Cowsills.

Sister Susan Cowsill, and husband Russell Broussard, formerly of the Contintental Drifters, made it out of NOla safely with their kids and pets, and the clothes on their backs, but Barry, who had moved to NO during the summer, was last seen on CNN video near the Convention Center. He apparently made a phone call to family members on the 10th. It is unclear whether he was evacuated out of the city or not.

GravatarAtrios - I think the easing of nuclear first strike options deserves a mention. (cross-commented at AmericaBlog)

From DailyKOS:
Meanwhile at the Pentagon, Nukes Are In Play

These lunatics are just a few pen strokes away from making nuclear first-strike options very very easy.

They already showed that they are incapable of any leadership. Now, they are making it easier to impose martial law here, and nuke opponents.

If we don't get Congress to yank them out of office soon, and they use the option (and you know they will), the world won't wait for us to act. The threat of a nuclear nutcase / nuclear Hitler will be squelched hard.


GravatarFolks,

The thing about a given sign "ruling" a given body part can easily mean that's the body part that you're likelty to have trouble with. As a Pisces who regularly breaks and sprains her ankles, let me assure you, it's as often a warning as a blessing.

Just saying


GravatarBecause the story must be told!

Interview about Man with the Screaming Brain
1) OK so - tell us why we need to see your new movie Man With the Screaming Brain? What makes it unique and exciting?

Because it's not the type of movie you would see on an airplane. It's an odd-ball story that will hopefully appeal to the Evil Dead crowd as well as new folks. It's a very dark tale of greed, betrayal and revenge in Bulgaria - all with a brain transplant!

2) What made you want to step into the director's chair and has it been a challenge to make the transition from actor to director?

I've done it numerous times before on the Hercules and Xena TV shows, so the process wasn't a mystery, but it's always challenging because my homework at the end of each day instantly doubled.

3) Bruce, it seems that you are always more at home with comedy - but what makes you laugh? Can you tell us about some of the movies, or scenarios on set or day to day life, that crack you up?

I try to find humor in everything - otherwise, why are we here, to suffer? I think not. To me, humor can be found in anything from the bathroom, to slapstick, to even Three Stooges type violence. Pain can be very funny.

4) Tell me a bit about shooting your film in Bulgaria - some of the stories from the country and were you ever recognized out there?

Well, it's a country in transition from communism to capitalism, and the main reason we filmed there was because the average Bulgarian worker makes $110.00 a month. I enjoyed the experience from a sociological standpoint, but from a filmmaking point-of-view, shooting there was a pain in the ass. The workers were great, but the country had infrastructure problems that made every day activities unnecessarily complicated.

5) This is not the first project that have you directed - tell me about your previous directorial efforts and why you would urge your fans to seek them out...

I urge fans to do what they damn well please, but they can know that my goal is never to write beneath them, and that entertaining them is my #1 priority.

6) You have a great cast for Man with the Screaming Brain, which includes Ted Raimi and Stacy Keach - can you tell me some stories about directing these guys and how you got them involved?

I have always worked with Ted, as I've known him since he was 9. Ted is an indispensable part of what I do. Mr. Keach was a pleasure, mostly because he's a seasoned pro. He was brought in on very short notice, and he was everything I hoped for in the part. When casting goes right, you don't have much to worry about.

7) Judging from the pictures on your site, you will be subjected to some serious makeup in Man with the Screaming Brain - what are the challenges of the makeup chair as a lot of actors seem to hate it...

The biggest beef is sleep deprivation, because of the extra hours tacked on to an already long work day in order to apply the makeup. The number 2 beef is the degrading effects from the chemicals applied to your face. During the filming of Bubba Ho-Tep, my face was in a constant state of shred.


GravatarPaida,

Leos of the world unite! We have nothing to lose but our inordinate fascination with gazelles gamboling across the veldt...


GravatarYeah, it's called "Operation I Don't Give A Shit".

Actually, I imagine Cheney does give a shit, but for the wrong reasons. Halliburton has already secured some post-Katrini contracts and no doubt will get a shitload more money thrown at it. He's probably been sizing up the area to see which places his boys can most easily get away with overcharging the tax-payers.

I wonder how much the Halliburton stock he holds has increased in value since he took office.


GravatarJust thinkin aloud...

GravatarHere's a piece Campbell wrote for the Landmark cinema chain's FLM magazine. Scroll back next commercial break.

What Is It Really Like To Film In A Different Country?
by Bruce Campbell, director/co-writer/star of Man with the Screaming Brain

As a filmmaker, the issue of where you shoot is a critical part of the process. What audience members don’t always realize is the extent to which a filmmaker must adapt his or her piece when producers, in their interest to save money, shoot in countries that don’t necessarily service the needs of a given story.

Over the years, economic conditions have pushed productions away from the U.S. As a result, I’ve worked on TV shows and films in Mexico, Canada, South Africa, France, and I spent six years on and off in New Zealand. But of all the distant locations, Bulgaria was by far the most challenging. My film, Man with the Screaming Brain, became a good example of “adaptation by necessity.”

The answer to the question “why shoot there?” lies in the simple fact that the average Bulgarian worker earns $110.00—a month. The U.S. can’t compete with that scenario, so producers wind up taking even average stories to the strangest places.

When we were in Bulgaria, there were at least half a dozen other film productions going at the same time. Demand for English-speaking, “American-like” actors was so huge, talent was pulled from nearby U.S. military bases. One American fellow who worked for the Peace Corps jumped on the Bulgarian film train and quickly racked up some 18 credits—playing anything from a marine to a sonar technician—and almost always getting killed.

I ran into this very busy, self-described “non-actor” on the streets of Sofia and mentioned that he looked very dapper.

“Oh, thanks,” he said, confidently. “I just had an audition for Hallmark as an F.B.I guy—and I don’t even get killed!”

Aside from incredibly cheap prices, Bulgaria had little to offer my story, which was originally set in East Los Angeles. Part of the former Soviet Bloc, Bulgaria was ironically one of the “whitest” places on earth. Where was I to find people of color? Would I have to cast Gypsies as Latinos?

It seemed like a bad idea all the way around, so to prevent a sociological train wreck, I decided to embrace the unknown, adapt my story to match the location, and make the best of it. In the end, re-writing Man with the Screaming Brain for Bulgaria worked in our favor. I was able to capitalize on post-communist locations that would be otherwise unavailable to the average film (like an abandoned airport terminal and an incomplete subway system), and thankfully, my Bulgarian cast didn’t have to pretend they were from California.

During production, communication was a huge issue. One translator was assigned to the crew, and one was assigned to me as the director. They both worked non-stop, but I couldn’t help but feel that something got lost in the tedious process. To combat the information drain, I purchased a dry erase board. Whenever words failed during a meeting, I could always resort to scribbling a picture.

The saddest of all “lost in translation” moments came the day I stepped out of our “lab” set and found my translator, Assia, in tears.

“What’s with her?” I asked Joel, the assistant director.

“She’s crying because they’re about to wreck her Vespa.”

That exchange wouldn’t mean much to the casual listener, but it represented everything frustrating about filming in a different culture. Previously, I’d taken numerous meetings with the “transportation” department, and we discussed the Vespa issue ad nauseum. I was repeatedly assured that the one they secured could not only be painted pink, but it could be destroyed as indicated in the script.

“Holy crap, the Vespa is Assia’s?” I asked, incredulous.

“Yeah. They never told her they were gonna wreck it.”

“That’s horrible.”

“That’s not the worst part,” Joel said, cracking a wry smile. “It was a birthday gift from her father.”

I hunted down the transportation guys and we exchanged some “words.” In this case, it didn’t matter that we spoke different languages—everyone knew exactly what was being said.

I don’t want to pick on Bulgarians. To be sure, they were eager to please the onslaught of loud American filmmakers, and I was grateful for their hard work. But the next time you watch a movie that doesn’t look or feel quite right, read the fine print in the end credits. What you thought was “Detroit” could very well have been filmed in a different hemisphere.


GravatarI'm a Leo with a forehead scar I got when I wuz 5...but my honey is an Aries...does that make me clairvoyant or sumphin?

Gravatarinteresting thing about astrology:

they say that depending on your birth chart, you can figure out what part of the globe will be the best place for you to live.

I tried it out and it was surprisingly accurate for 4 out of 5 cities I have lived in.

I am just waiting to move to Dublin because according to my chart, that's where my inate writing talent will spring to life and I will be able to write a paragraph with more than one sentence!

I think it's called astrogeography or something.

you can input your data over at www.astro.com and check out the astro travel option for yours

GravatarADVISERS appointed by Tony Blair after the London bombings are proposing to scrap the Jewish Holocaust Memorial Day because it is regarded as offensive to Muslims.

They want to replace it with a Genocide Day that would recognise the mass murder of Muslims in Palestine, Chechnya and Bosnia as well as people of other faiths.

The draft proposals have been prepared by committees appointed by Blair to tackle extremism. He has promised to respond to the plans, but the threat to the Holocaust Day has provoked a fierce backlash from the Jewish community.

Holocaust Day was established by Blair in 2001 after a sustained campaign by Jewish leaders to create a lasting memorial to the 6m victims of Hitler. It is marked each year on January 27.

GravatarYou astrology people, I was born on the same day as John Hinckley in the same general area. I don't know about the time of day.

Actually... transits can occur on any day from the 15th to the 24th, you really need to check an ephemeris. The 20th-22nd is just a simplified formalization. If the particular planet or node or whatever transits on the 15th or 24th, you aren't really on the cusp on the 20th. Depends on how many degrees you calculate a conjunction by. Three is the rule if I recall.

He is first and foremost a propagandist for the Rethugs. Grover Norquist is open and ugly about his desire to "drown government in a bathtub"; Brooksie won't scare the Soccer Moms too much, just keep denigrating governmentand planting the seeds of the need to drown it in a bathtub.

Gravatarfrom ravingatheist.com:

Lauding hurricanes as “a weather of peace,” the American Meteorological Society condemned tropical storm Katrina as an extremist who has hijacked whirlwindery for her own purposes.

“Mainstream hurricanes spend their lives quietly offshore among the waves, dissipating at sea,” said AMS President Roger Anderson. “But Katrina has perverted her 160 mile-an-hour winds into an instrument of harm.” Anderson added that Katrina belonged to a radical category of storm that was not representative of the majority of hurricanes.

Katrina disagreed, stating that death and destruction are the natural consequences of her supernatural 13,000 megaton strength making actual contact with humans. “A mild breeze is not a “hurricane,” she said. “Those who take that word literally know the dangers I pose.”

Thnx for the link--I had read more concise versions of Gore's air rescue problems and accomplishments, but I almost got dizzy reading all the crap they had to cut through. Untold number of phone calls....

What a clusterfuck at FEMA. While lives were in the balance. Sounds like definitely one woman, a few others somewhat, wanted to accomplish things, rather than follow orders. But on the whole, WOW.

Someone much earlier in this disaster said the way FEMA personnel were reacting was similar to what he had seen among functionaries in the Sovie Union. In totalitarian governments, lower levels do nothing without permission; anything deviating from the dictated methods can have dire consequences. Individual initiative is too dangerous.

GravatarNight, sweet bats.

Here's Yeats:

A DRUNKEN MAN'S PRAISE OF SOBRIETY

COME swish around, my pretty punk,
And keep me dancing still
That I may stay a sober man
Although I drink my fill.
Sobriety is a jewel
That I do much adore;
And therefore keep me dancing
Though drunkards lie and snore.
O mind your feet, O mind your feet,
Keep dancing like a wave,
And under every dancer
A dead man in his grave.
No ups and downs, my pretty,
A mermaid, not a punk;
A drunkard is a dead man,
And all dead men are drunk.


GravatarWell, I'm Leo, Aries rising.

I got some money in my jeans and I'm really gonna spend it right

now the house is empty the folks are gone
Ooo C'mon everybody

Well my baby's number one but I'm gonna dance with three or four
And the house'll be shakin' from my bare feet slapping the floor
When you hear that music you can't sit still
If your brother won't rock then your sister will
Ooo C'mon everybody

Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
If the folks come home I'm afraid they gonna have my hide
There'll be no more movies for a week or two
No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew
Who cares C'mon everybody

GravatarI'm sure after the last couple of weeks,the media will be getting their orders to start fellating Bush again. Probably will start tomorrow after the Nurnberg rally and another extrodinary visit to Louisana. By the end of the month Katrina will be forgotten and Bush will be back to his gentlemanly 50% and leading the party to another smashing victory in 2006 over the hapless Dean democrats.

GravatarIt gets even worse.

Several mercenaries we spoke with said they had served in Iraq on the personal security details of the former head of the US occupation, L. Paul Bremer and the former US ambassador to Iraq, John Negroponte.

They are clearing New Orleans of all civilians in order to make one of the biggest land grabs in American history.

Aside from the sheer bloody handed fascism of it, this reveals one thing about the crime syndicate now running the country.

They are absolutely clueless about what they're doing to the world they live in.

Before this century is half over, Louisiana will be underwater. But they haven't figured that out yet. They perpetrators of the unthinkable themselves regard the consequences of their folly as unimaginable.

So of course we need limited but energetic government. But liberals who think this disaster is going to set off a progressive revival need to explain how a comprehensive governmental failure is going to restore America's faith in big government.

See, it's not because someone (I wonder who) has been systematically fucking every single dept in the federal government, it's because government itself is the problem, as we've know all along. All praise St. Ronnie.

Why, yes. Almost ordered them too, but prefer Contender. Here you go:

White Half Runner Green Bean
Pkt.(200 seeds) 1.50 add to cart
1/2Lb. 2.75 add to cart
1LB. 3.75 add to cart
5LB. 14.50 add to cart


60 days. My folks call this "Greasy Bean" because it secretes oil while cooking giving a light sheen to the cooking water. It may also be one of the very best tasting bush green bean in the world. Half runner type does not require support and gives very large yields of slightly curved pods that are round ,light green and stringless if picked young. Excellent shell bean when mature. Outstanding hillbilly bean that has lasted through time. Untreated seed.

I don't actually have a scar on my head, but come to think of it, I used to have two little tabs of flesh like the ends of a Q-tip between my left ear and sideburn. My doctor nipped them off when I was about 20, and I don't think about them much any more, but there is the faintest trace of the twin "stumps" that feels like a slight bump to the touch.

GravatarRe: jokes:

Winter Fishing

It was a cold winter day. An old man walked out onto a frozen lake, cut a hole in the ice and dropped in his
fishing line. He was there for almost an hour, without even a nibble, when a young boy walked out onto the
ice, cut a hole in the ice not far from him. The young boy dropped his fishing line and minutes later he
hooked a huge Bass.

The old man couldn't believe his eyes but chalked it up
to plain luck. But, shortly thereafter, the young boy
pulled in another large catch.

The young boy kept catching fish after fish. Finally,
the old man couldn't take it any longer. "Son, I've
been here for over an hour without even a nibble.
You've been here only a few minutes and have caught a
half dozen fish! How do you do it?"

The boy responded, "Roo raf roo reep ra rums rrarm."

"What was that?" the old man asked.

Again the boy responded, "Roo raf roo reep ra rums
rarrm."

"Look," said the old man, "I can't understand a word
you're saying."

The boy spit the contents of his mouth into his hand
and said, "You have to keep the worms warm!"

GravatarThis is the excellent foppery of the world, that,
when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeit
of our own behavior, we make guilty of our
disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars: as
if we were villains by necessity; fools by
heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and
treachers, by spherical [spiritual] predominance; drunkards,
liars, and adulterers, by an enforced obedience of
planetary influence; and all that we are evil in,
by a divine thrusting on. An admirable evasion
of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish
disposition to the charge of a star! "My
father compounded with my mother under the

Major; so that it follows, I am rough and

We challenge any so-called smart Yankee to take this exam administered by the University of Arkansas Engineering Department:

1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will support a 10-pound possum.

2. Which of these cars will rust out the quickest when placed on blocks in your front yard? A '65 Ford Fairlane, a '69 Chevrolet Chevelle or a '64 Pontiac GTO.

3. If your uncle builds a still which operates at a capacity of 20 gallons of shine produced per hour, how many car radiators are required to condense the finished product?

4. A woodcutter has a chainsaw which operates at 2700 RPM. The density of the pine trees in the plot to be harvested is 470 per acre. The plot is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches. -- --

How many Budweisers will be drunk before the trees are cut down?

5. If every old refrigerator in the state vented it's charge of R-12 simultaneously, what would be the percentage decrease in the ozone layer?

6. A front porch is constructed of 2x8 pine on 24-inch centers with a field rock foundation. The span is 8 feet and the porch length is 16 feet. The porch floor is 1-inch rough sawn pine. When the porch collapses, how many hound dogs will be killed?

7. A man owns a Tennessee house and 3.7 acres of land in a hollow with an average slope of 15%. The man has five children. Can each of his grown children place a mobile home on the man's land and still have enough property for their electric appliances to sit out on the front porch?

8. A 2-ton truck is overloaded and proceeding 900 yards down a steep slope on a secondary road at 45 MPH. The brakes fail. Given average traffic conditions on secondary roads, what is the probability that the truck will strike a vehicle with a muffler?

9. A coal mine operates a NFPA Class 1, Division 2 Hazardous Area. The mine employs 120 miners per shift. A gas warning is issued at the beginning of th 3rd shift. How many cartons of unfiltered Camels will be smoked during that shift?

10. At a reduction in the gene pool variability rate of 7.5% per generation, how long will it take a town which has been bypassed by the Interstate to breed a country-western singer?

GravatarOkay, last four or so. g'nite.

Most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England.

In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.

This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico.

But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank and the cargo was forever lost.

The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5 and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

A farmer and his wife went to a fair. The farmer, who had never been on an airplane, was fascinated by a stunt plane and asked the pilot how much a ride would cost.
"$20 for 3 minutes," the pilot replied.
"That's too much," said the farmer.
The pilot thought for a second and then said, "I'll make you a deal. If you and your wife ride for 3 minutes without uttering a sound, the ride will be free. But if you make any sound at all, you'll have to pay me the $20."
The farmer and his wife agreed and went for a thrilling ride. After they landed, the pilot said to the farmer, "I want to congratulate you for not making a sound. You are a brave man."
"Maybe so," said the farmer, "but I gotta tell ya, I almost screamed when my wife fell out."

One night, a man was sitting at an Irish bar. Another man came up next to him and took a seat. The Irish man said "Why hello, what's your name, and where you come from?"
The man replied, "Oh well I'm from Ireland, my name is Peter"
"Really? And how old are ya?"
"I am 23"
"Really? So am I, what school did you go to when you were a lad?"
"O, why, I went to St. Mary's"
"No way!! So did I"
What class did you graduate?"
"Class of '64"
"Why, So did I!"
"And where did you live?"
"I lived on Main Street"
"By golly! so did I!!"
Finally the bartender who has been listing to the conversation goes to another customer, leans over and says: "Well, it looks like the Murphy twins are drunk again"

-----------------
An Alabama State trooper pulls over a pickup truck on I-20. He says to the driver, "Got any ID?" The driver says, " 'bout what?"

-------------------------


A guy walks into a bar with a dog under his arm, puts the dog on the bar and announces that the dog can talk and that he has $100 he's willing to bet anyone who says he can't.

The bartender quickly takes the bet and the owner looks at the dog and asks, "What's the thing on top of this building which keeps the rain from coming inside?"

The dog answers "ROOF."

The bartender says, "Who are you kidding? I'm not paying."

The dog's owner says, "How about double or nothing and I'll ask him something else". The bartender agrees and the owner turns to the dog and asks, "Who was the greatest ballplayer of all time".

The dog answers with a muffled "RUTH."

With that the bartender picks them both up and throws them out the door.

As they bounce on the sidewalk the dog looks at his owner and says "DiMaggio?"
