someone in thread below said milla jovavich spoke 3 languages--i wonder if that included the leeloo dallas mooltipass dialect?
Mena, yes: I used it but since I was talking to Rorschach (and all) I wanted to be sure I was using the right word. I looked it up and could not find the meaning I attributed. I told K&Y that I would have my English friend look it up in her MASSIVE (and damned expensive) version of the OED.

In case you guys missed it downstairs,
somebody at NYMagazine predicted
this will be the series finale
of THE SOPRANOS:
James Gandolfini wakes up in a cold
sweat to find he's in bed with
Suzanne Pleshette in the Hartley's
apartment.
He tells her "I just had the most
awful dream. I was a gangster in
New Jersey and everybody I loved
got killed."
Pleshette says "Go back to sleep,
Bob."
He does.
Camera pans down to under the bed
where we see Bob Newhart --whacked.
Derek & the Dominos?
Hi Vicki! How's things?
im getting dudgeoned into submission.
From IMDB re: "Fifth Element":
*The language spoken by Leeloo was invented by director Luc Besson and further refined by Milla Jovovich. By the end of filming they were able to have full conversations in this language.
*The flying traffic created by the visual effects team at Digital Domain allowed artists to create personalized license plates. Though never visible in the film, the state slogan printed on all license plates reads, "New York, The Fuck-You State."
*Zorg's monologue about destruction creating productivity is actually a classic economics fallacy exposed in "The Parable of the Broken Window" by economist Frederic Bastiat.
mooltipass- I say that every day.
Autowash.
Best live band ever?

From ABC's WMD "Scoop"
Star defector Hussein Kamel said weapons were destroyed
2/17/06
On February 15, ABC investigative reporter Brian Ross delivered an exclusive report on World News Tonight and Nightline that purported to be a bombshell. ABC had obtained tape-recorded conversations from mid-1995 that seemed to show that Iraq had been concealing its weapons of mass destruction program. The tapes, according to Ross, "will only serve to fuel the continuing debate about Saddam's true intentions and whether he, in fact, did hide weapons of mass destruction." But ABC viewers were left in the dark about information that would undermine the tape's most important revelations.
(snip)
But ABC's story does not include what was arguably Kamel's more important revelation, which was that Iraq had destroyed its stocks of usable unconventional weapons. "Iraq does not possess any weapons of mass destruction," he told CNN in 1995. He told the same story to U.N. and U.S. officials, saying that by destroying the weapons in the summer of 1991, Saddam Hussein hoped to conceal how far Iraq had gotten in developing weapons, with the intent of restarting these programs after the inspection regime was ended.
The MCM! When will they ever learn?
And why is it they don't learn to report accurately?
Oh, yeah--approved storyline over factual story.
If we can't hit 'em with a chair, let's hit 'em with emails.
FAIR's article has action suggestion and contact info for ABC newsers.

Crash Worship are incredible. They lay down these driving neo-pagan drum beats, and actually come down off the stage into the crowd and juggle and breath fire and such. They have workers who go through the crowd beforehand to pour water on everyone so no one catches fire during the show.
And they have a gun that shoots chocolate sauce all over the crowd. And their workers wander through the crowd with bags of wine to serve people, as well as watermelons (spiked with god knows what). And half the crowd is at least half naked by then...

Hi Mena!
Just got back from Florida. Down there for a trade show.
I'm tired, but it was nice to have 85 degree sun kissing my cheeks. And I got to hug lots and lots of people I've known forever. And I kissed a handsome guy.
The only thing is that I was with a bunch of Republican men. Really interesting to listen to them discuss their priorities. And to hear them discuss with great uneasiness how awful it will be when Brokeback Mountain wins the Oscar last night. Some of these guys have pretty serious issues with their own masculinity, methinks. Juvenile jokes, gross, gross, gross...When I mentioned that I saw the movie with my daughter, I was roundly chastised. "What kind of a parent are you?"
"I'm a parent who exposes my daughter to diversity and teaches her to respect differences io people.
Shuts them up.
And the other comment I love to make, which also shuts them up as they jump into their juvenile little boy rants about how fucked up homosexuality is, is:
"But if the movie were about two cowgirls who fell in love while roping sheep, you'd be the first in line to buy a ticket."
Anyway, interesting bunch. Had a great time. Always reaffirms my belief in progressive liberalism after I hang out with these guys for any length of time.

It was called Dick and Don.
Don…”so the name of the game Dick is called shoot the quail. Can you spot the difference between a Quail and you friend, who will be wearing an orange jacket.”
Dick.. ”I hope so”
Don.. ”just to make it more interesting, Dick’s going to have a beer. Have you had a beer Dick?”
Dick…”I have had a couple of beers Don”
Don “ ok off you go Dick, after all, you are the second most powerful man on the planet, so if you can’t tell the difference we are in big trouble”
BANG BANG
Don.. ”Oh Dick, you just shot the camera man. I think he has had a heart attack”
Dick.. ”I have had 4 of those babies”

Speaking of Russian cultural hemes, I just watched a movie on TV that I totally missed seeing when it first came out. It must have been made pre-911 because the NY skyline had the twin Towers It starred Rene Russo in what was absolutely THE most sexiest performances of hers I have EVER seen. IT also stared Robert Deniro in a major character role, and had Jason Alexander as the other main star. Fours stars from This Critic. Can't believe I missed it cause it was really great and The Rocky and Bullwinkle show always was my favorite cartoon when I was a kid!!

I wonder why it is okay for a woman to admit feelings for other women, without necessarily being okay, but not for men. I think you're right. I think a lot of men are afraid they might get turned on watching the movie and so are terrifically threatened by it.

STP is like an hour long trip. They called it the businessman's trip cuz it woudl be over by the end of lunch....or was that MDMA?
The short story of "Brokeback" meant a lot to me, as I was a married gay guy in a relationship with an HIV+ guy, and we got together every couple of weekends at his mountaintop retreat. Except I didn't enter into our relationship until I discovered my late wife's long term affair, I told her what I was up to (and she seemed fine with it, or at least relieved), and she seemed to genuinely like my guy. I was terrified the movie version would ruin a wonderful story (that gets into the head of rural men, especially the ones who say "I ain't queer" while getting fucked), but Lee has done a wonderful job. I could care less about awards or award shows...
for some reason, that strikes me as the most anachronistic thing i have read recently...no offense, ya know...just madly anachronistic...
A) I am an historian. My life is anachronistic by definition.
B) We are entering the ironing season in Phoenix. Each garment can only be worn a couple of hours before becoming icky.
C) Arthur is a Shar-pei. It's either ironing or botox.

STP was an LSD like drug available in the late sixties. THe high was stronger and lasted for days. Had two friends fuck themselves up on it: not recommended.

i thot dmt was the businessmans trip
I wonder why it is okay for a woman to admit feelings for other women, without necessarily being okay, but not for men.
It comes down to patriarchy. Since women don't have the phallus, which symbolizes male dominance, lesbianism is "cute" and inconsequential, and generally considered immature. (The first porn novel in English, "Fanny Hill" demonstrates this attitude.)
However, for a man, who does have a phallus, to be penetrated by another man reveals the constructed nature of the patriarchal system, reveals that it's not just simple and "natural" for women to be subordinate.
Thus, male homosexuality has been on the lawbooks for centuries, whereas lesbianism was largely ignored for a long, long time.
Vicki: And from where I came before I could come, they preferred KY.
I was borned and raised in KY, which is why the real men preferred Valvoline. It was a local product.

Vickie, I'm shore I'm at least yore age, sweets, I just never took any of that and doubt if anyone under 40 would have heard of it. I never knew of anyone that took it after Blue Cheer broke up in ~ 1969. Was it a club drug later in life?

that's it. thanx for talk'n to me. actually i didn't care that she took her to see it. tho she did take her to see some questionably violent fare.
i personally hate movies. until i end up stuck in some hotel in east bumfuck with nothing better to do.
but i think i will check out Gogol, the writer.
what was STP? I mean, what is the modern medicinal/abuse equivalent to that shit? IT was some sort of speed-like stuff, but I'd long stopped hearing about it by the time I started to study chemistry.
Bad Art - 3:52 pm
aside from being the very life's blood of the engine in my MG-B, Boadicea, it is the old-time equivalent of those new synthetic lubricants...
mainly it's an additive, which effects the viscosity and the adherent qualities of the oil...folks added it to the crankcase with an oil-change, and it helped with sticky valves, and stuff like that...

/layman's understanding of stp
STP is like an hour long trip. They called it the businessman's trip cuz it woudl be over by the end of lunch....or was that MDMA?
politica
MDMA is Ecstasy.
I think you are thinking of DMT.
Tena - according to Milla's official site, she's fluent in Serbian, Russian, French, and English, has her own clothing line, and collects fairytales. She also occasionally blogs to fans on her site, including some commentary on books she was reading at the time by Herman Hesse, Thackerey, Edith Wharton, and Nabokov. So perhaps she is not so vapid after all.

STP is like an hour long trip. They called it the businessman's trip cuz it woudl be over by the end of lunch....or was that MDMA?
That was DMT, I believe, with the "Short trip-no crash" reputation. STP was a street drug with the rep of being an especially long acidy trip. Never took it. MDMA, or Ecstasy, was often called Medicine back in the ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
STP was an LSD like drug available in the late sixtie
That was the rumor. I never did it and I never knew anyone else who did.
Not saying it wasn't real, but it wasn't widespread.

4-methyl-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine. DOM has a stereocenter and R-(-)-DOM is the more active stereoisomer. In his book PIHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), Shulgin lists the dosage range as 3 to 10 mg. DOM is generally taken orally. DOM is classified as a Schedule 1 substance in the United States, and is similarly controlled in other parts of the world. Internationally, DOM is a Schedule I drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances[1].
Not much information is known about the toxicity of DOM. According to Shulgin, the effects of DOM typically last 14 to 20 hours. Clinical studies have indicated that repeated exposures to DOM can result in the rapid development of tolerance in as little as three days.
In mid-1967, tablets containing 20mg (later 10mg) of DOM were widely distributed in the Haight-Ashbury District of San Francisco under the name of STP. This short-lived appearance of DOM on the black market proved disastrous for several reasons. First, the tablets contained an excessively high dose of the chemical. This, combined with DOM’s slow onset of action (which encouraged some users, familiar with drugs that have quicker onsets, such as LSD, to re-dose) and its remarkably long duration, caused many users to panic and sent some to the emergency room. Second, treatment of such overdoses was complicated by the fact that no one at the time knew that the tablets called STP were, in fact, DOM.
Horse Tranquilizers were pretty big around these parts in the 70's.

Grace Slick: "DMT is like being shot out of a cannon. LSD is like being sucked up a tube."
DWD - no need to be sorry. I said I wasn't saying it wasn't real.
When the people I knew moved on from acid, they mostly went into heroin.
I knew quite a few people who divided their time equally between Dallas and New York.

However, I did get to see him sing a few songs, so that was cool.

Now, of course, it's all meth. We had a guy die here last week when his meth lab blew up. Of course, the Bush administration recently slashed funds to fight the rural meth problem: everyone knows if it's not brown people in a city, it's not really drugs.
Good LSD was a great trip. Still like shrooms best.

The main use of STP was to decrease the rate of oil loss in an old clunker with, say, a leaking rear main seal that there's no way in hell you'd spend the money to fix...
Woody, I know THAT definition. It's the other one I am trying to recollect. The one that I do seem to recollect now was the prolonged trip that really fukked people up for a few days.
The main reason I stopped hitchhiking in the early 70's was I went for a stretch of about 3-4 months where nearly every guy that picked me up musta thought I was a hustler. All I really wanted was to get to work or get back home. Started taking a bus which took about three times as long as hitching used to. But one guy got pisse and treatened to stick me with a knife so the bus became much more cost effective.

And what of "Return to the Blue Lagoon"?
Actually, "Kootch" has been on my mind the last couple of days. He showed up at the dorm one day. Nowhere to go, nothing to do: the only thing he had was an old bread truck van fixed up for sleeping.
He moved into one of the spare rooms and stayed a while. Severely suffered over his Vietnam experience. He lived in town but would not go home. (I think he got a psych discharge.)
And his eyes were troubled. In fact at that time he was broken. We welcomed him in and took care of him. After a while he was getting better. Then he took the STP with Jungle Man.
Sad.
War can do that to a man. Truly.
Curly's just bored with it all.

LSD actually helped fund my way through college, back in the day...
Tena: hell, they probably use meth as a military recruitment tool...
Speaking of STP and speed, I saw The World's Fastest Indian the other day - not bad at all. Has some interesting visuals and is generally entertaining despite being fairly obvious. Donaldson obviously has a deep affection for his subject (having also shot a documentary on him years ago). Plus, although the song does not appear in the film at all, I give kudos to the use of The Clash's version of Police on my Back for the trailer. Perfect.
What is "the brown acid"?
kei & yuri | Homepage | 03.04.06 - 4:08 pm | #
The government produced acid combinations in there search for a completely debilitating mixture that could be dropped on enemy troops before an assault. Similar to that one Batman movie. Many people thought that they'd drop the acid in large amounts at various shous and record the effects of the people. Zappa claimed that the Grateful Dead must have been watched over by the CIA just for this purpose.

Goddamn - they cut funds to fight meth?
Kellogg, Brown and Root must be fed.
They do have waivers for all kinds of things that would keep people out of a better military...
"Lesbian cowgirls raising EXTREME sheep! Snowboarding sheep that have FRICKIN' LASER EYES and fight TERRORISTS to defend Manhattan against the Evil Developer who wants to tear down the orphan's home to build a toxic waste dump where he'll expose lizards to toxic waste and mutate them into MEGA-LIZARDS which ALSO have laser eyes. But with a heartwarming family message."

K&Y Thank you for the good info. "the brown acid" was a warning broadcast over the speakers at Woodstock Arts Festival. Something that wasn't real acid, it was either making people ill or get a bit more psycho than was expected.

Amazing. Guitarist Bireli Lagrene opened with a firebreathing set. Taraf de Haidouks, however, is not jazz and it's not Django (no guitars). Recordings don't do either justice and I won't try. Google TdH if you want superlatives.

LONDON - Prime Minister Tony Blair, who wrenched his party from the left to the center of the political spectrum, said he had been inspired to enter politics by a book about socialist icon Leon Trotsky.
At a World Book Day event at London's Commonwealth Club earlier this week, Blair said Isaac Deutscher's biography of the Russian communist leader was the book that meant the most to him.
Deutscher's three-volume work — "The Prophet Armed," "The Prophet Unarmed" and "The Prophet Outcast" — paints a sympathetic portrait of Trotsky, who helped Vladimir Lenin lead the 1917 Russian revolution but was later driven out by Joseph Stalin. He was murdered by an agent of Stalin in Mexico in 1940.
"I might as well make a confession now," Blair said. "There were people who got me very involved in politics. But then there was also a book."

FEMA critic's shirt gets him tangled up in ticket By Laura Parker, USA TODAY
Fri Mar 3, 7:57 AM ET
Ridiculing the Federal Emergency Management Agency is high art in the Gulf Coast areas where Hurricane Katrina hit last year.
Many parade floats in New Orleans' Mardi Gras were decorated in themes that skewered the relief agency.
George Barisich, president of the United Commercial Fisherman's Association, has been selling anti-FEMA T-shirts since last fall, a reflection of his frustration with the federal government's response to the storm that left him homeless and unemployed.
But on Feb. 1, when he handed a shirt to a fellow Katrina victim as he was picking up canned goods at a charity's relief tent, Barisich found himself in trouble with the government.
He was cited by a group of Homeland Security officials for selling a T-shirt on federal property - in this case, near a FEMA center in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart in Chalmette, La.
Barisich, 49, says he didn't sell the shirt, which said: "Flooded by Katrina! Forgotten by FEMA! What's Next, Mr. Bush?" He says he gave it away.
The government is sticking to its guns. "If we ignored this violation, you could have potentially 20 to 30 people standing out in front of the (FEMA) center, obstructing things," says Dean Boyd, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesman. "We've got a duty and a job under the law."
...Word of Barisich's plight is circulating around battered St. Bernard Parish, where 22,000 of the 26,000 homes were destroyed by flooding. Larry Ingargiola, the local emergency operations chief, calls it "totally ridiculous."
"I've tried to work with them," he says of the federal government. "But some of the rules they've got down here are unbelievable. For God's sake, everybody knows George. They're pushing the buttons a little bit too far."
Barisich says he was ticketed after six DHS officers gathered at his truck. Boyd says he can't confirm the number. Barisich says he was told he would be arrested if he did not take the ticket. "I said, 'Do you really want to arrest me? Am I the only one here who thinks this is asinine? You're harassing a person who just lost everything.' "
Barisich's extended family lost 14 of its 17 houses in St. Bernard. Three of his fishing boats vanished. Two other boats survived but can't get to sea because they're in a canal filled with debris and silt. And he doesn't have enough cash to rebuild his oyster beds.
He says he'll fight the ticket because "if you do something wrong, you pay for it. If you didn't, you don't ever say you did."
Not very nice, I have to say.

Wise man.
If you look at the structures of a lot of painkillers, there is a huge family that are all sometimes rather slight variants of opium, heroin and morphine.
Go and see Dengue Fever, while you're at it. Tour info here, along with mp3s, video, etc. I'd think anyone who liked Gogol Bordello would probably like them.
LOVE Dengue Fever. Chomn Nimol is teh hot. They're one of the best L.A. bands. Their first album is all covers of Cambodian pop songs, but the new record was written by the band and it is amazing. I think Chomn, the gorgeous lead singer, should be a superstar. She's a great performer.

i have admitted before, without any appeal for pity or recrimination, that i have been stoned since 1967, as much as the circumstances permitted at any given time...
during that time and down to this one, if i possess any weed, i will smoke it...end of story...well, chapter...
within cell memory--the last 5 years--i have also consumed shrooms, dropped acid, and smoked a little hash...
i'm actually slowin' down, i guess...a pal says i should drop some exstasy, if i haven't...so, should the opportunity present, likely i shall... i reckon some of the movie people would know where it might be procured, but i am reluctant to be thought importunate... best to wait...
.
I grew papaver somniferum and tried to "milk the Pods" but it's hellish work for little result, IMHO.
he might be inder the sofa.
I would have noticed. I keep one of my giant CD wallets under there.
My impression of the blogroll is that it is no different for Atrios than for anyone else - it's a list of other sites he personally likes to check in on because there's stuff there he's interested in.
one of the nice things about being the new messaiah is that it's pretty easy to book speaking gigs.
the retirement plan sucks, though.
.
I hated that 'neck feeling' of MDMA.
fwiw, "she creature" is on again.
Also went in for opium, Quaaludes, way more acid than I care to think about, and God knows what else.
Aah, Quaaludes. I was too young for quaaludes. I missed out on them entirely. On the plus side, I grew up in the ecstasy generation. Now that is a fun drug.
Eli, I don't think I did either, look, that is. It was a given until I moved away from home. Not that it was bad or anything--not fundamentalism. I guess I decided confessing having sex to a priest as a sin turned me in the other direction.

Well, I think it is. As I said in the post I linked to above, there are about 1.4 million meth users in the US. That's how many people were arrested for drunk driving in 2004, and that's about one percent of the self-reported instances of drunk driving within that year.
I hate meth, meth labs, and meth dealers. But the legislative response to meth has been heavy-handed and nonsensical, and escalating it much more could end up being more dangerous than meth itself. IMO.

Yeah, pseudopheds happen to be one of the really effective drugs to treat sinus and nasal problems. There really isn't anything quite as good for this.
Meth can be mixed up right in your redneck bathtub,
I've been wondering if half the chimps balance problems has been caused from chimpy getting into his daughter's home brew meth stash, and his doctors then trying to bring him down with other drugs.
NTodd - Yup, pets and kids will do that to you. Once you're responsible for another living organism, your life isn't your own. It's only a matter of degree. Even now, we can't go away on vacation without making elaborate plans for care of just one cat. Don't know how we used to do it with three cats, a dog, and two kids. Makes me tired just thinking about it.
Hey, when you're nineteen, anything's possible.
Except we've got nothing in common - no we can't talk at all.

still, it couldn't have been easy on the boyfriend. i remember when i was 19 - if i'd done it 25 times in one week.... i'd have had to seriously scaled back on my masturbation regime.
The onliest reason for Confession is so the Priest always knows what's going on in his parish. Knowledge of dirty deeds is always a great help to anyone desiring to be in control, and control is all organized reilgion is about. There, I said it...
And said it well. The more dirt the priest has on everybody, the more he can "whitemail" them.
two teenage boys on the bus trying to talk about 'heroin' for breakfast...hilarious kids trying to 'shock'
then a true moron from their school with army camoflauge pants and hood starts screaming about the 'crippled bitch' who took his lighter and cigarettes cuz he came to school stoned...
yes, I thought.

Poor puppy, indeed
Yup, that's it! Pooped blood on a walk, freaked me out. But it's the first time I've ever spent 300 bucks on a vet visit that actually ended up finding a problem--usually I spend that kind of money, they can't find anything wrong, and the animal is fine.
Wrong Wrong Wrong! Los Lobos is the GREATEST LIVE BAND IN HISTORY!!!
stately owls.

Don't forget that 5/5 dentists agree that meth mouth is teh suxor.

I dated a 17-year-old for about three years, starting at 23. Thirsty work! 3 to 5 times daily was normal, with occasional days off so she could break plates over my head.
No. Los lobos is not.

3 to 5 times daily.
could somebody please play 'yesterday'
for me?
Sorry. I remember a friend and I being confused for most of a class in my undergrad days when the prof said something about frequency of colitis affecting the birth rate. Apparently we may have misheard.

i was arrested once (ok more than once) and the cop asked me if i was indigent.
i told him goddamned right i'm indignant.
hope Mex feels better.

That puzzle of life is true for any medical visit. Waste money on worthless medical test that find nothing, or even worse the tests do discover a problem.
No. Los lobos is not.

Sacrilege! Blasphemy!

Good times! Those were the days, no?
Kei and Yuri, are you still around? I wanted to let you know that I own you.
Had to sell my 4000 shares of PowerPop to do it, but I made a cool three million bucks on that deal.
Good times! Those were the days, no?
rorschach, chopped liver
Well...yes and no. I wouldn't go back.
Fact is, I've often wondered if Chimpy'd meds men don't jack him up on Pharm methamphetamines for speeches, like the army still does to pilots and soldiers. Doesn't surprise me that some servicepeople come home with a need for speed.
once a day is plenty if you do it right.
ask sting.

I know what you mean. I'm glad I did it, but I'd never go back to the menage a trois situation I had going back in '94.
Whew.

What'd I say? What'd I say?
I beg to differ...I caught the Donald Fagen Band last night...and I may never need to have sex again!
I caught Gogol Bordello last time they came through in part because of Atrios's recommendation but in reality because they were touring with MY favorite live band Throw Rag (now unfortunately sans the naked washboard player and half their old set).
I was a little nervous as after Throw Rag finished the punk crowd dispersed and the hippyish crowd moved in, not my thing. But it was a great show everyone should see and their music offers a little something for fans of all musical tastes.
Oh please-- The greatest live band in the history of the universe was Parliament-Funkadelic in 1977. That's the fucking facts jack.
great, atrios is pitchfork's bitch, too.
aren't there any straight up punks in the blogworld?
never heard of 'em
Never seen 'em, understand they are quite something, but my vote for the greatest live band ever goes to Those Legendary Shack*Shakers. Next weekend I'll be enjoying them both Saturday and Sunday!
they suck.
You mean the Who, right?
I don't understand how a search engine can be "on tour," but if Atrios says so, good enough for me.
Yeesh, all this talk of gypsies and marching bands. Go check out the Hungry March Band, for chrissakes, and learn to love them. http://www.hungrymarchband.com
My pick would be Husker Du, but those favoring the Who and Parliament/Funkadelic have a strong case too. Atrios is really showing his (lack of) age here.
