there is one infallible way to tell if you look good in a hat:
you hafta think you look good in a hat...
And have a head smaller than size 8+ (never have found a hat to fit, too cheap to buy one fit for me). And have less hair than I do (wiry thick stuff it is).
And, yes, think you look good in it. That last one is the hardest.
Got the coffee. Check is coming your way. Muchas gracias, amigo.

Auntie GWPDA--have you ever noticed how democracy and good food go together?
Sallyh, Vicious Fishes
Like I'm going to waste this on a dead thread.
The lunch counter at Markgraff's Pharmacy was where all the local politicans went when they didn't want to talk to anybody. The mayor or various Legislature types or Senators or whoever. See, Mrs. Markgraff made this incredible cheese bread and would produce these sammitches - pimento cheese with green chile on toasted cheese bread. Followed by a chocolate soda..... Or Fridays, her clam chowder - my lord, nothing but cream, clams, diced potatoes, butter and salt. Or her lemon cake! Chuy. Politics hasn't been the same in AZ since Ed Markgraff retired.

People should take more interest in science. I saw this show about how somebody was cooking some things called neutrinos in a frying pan. It seems they come in three flavors, but I don't where they grow them. Anyhow the stove exploded or something and caused a big bang that formed the universe.
So any cookers out there should be careful lest they make another universe which will replace our own and leave us on the outside looking in.

Penis tattooing? How about the guy who goes to the tattoo parlor and says he wants to get a $100 bill tattooed on his dick.
"That's gonna be really painful," says the tattoo artist. "Why in the world do you want a $100 bill tattooed on your dick anyway?"
"Three reasons" says the man. "First, I like to play with money. Second, I like to watch my money grow. And third, my wife sure does know how to blow $100."

jesus h christ, i know you guys are smart but where do you *come* up with these words,
The ampallang is a form of male genital body piercing that penetrates horizontally through the glans penis from one side to the other. The piercing may pass through the urethra and in this case it is known as a transurethral piercing. A variant on this piercing is the shaft ampallang, which penetrates the shaft of the penis horizontally at any point along its length. A piercing which penetrates the glans penis vertically is known as an apadravya and is a completely different piercing.
This is an advanced piercing, and the procedure can be extremely painful. Full healing can take six months to a year.
This piercing, like all piercings which penetrate the glans penis can be extremely pleasurable to the bearer. It can also be sexually stimulating to the receiving partner during sexual intercourse, although it can also be unpleasurable to the receiving partner.

Kindasleazy did a question and answer session with students during her visit to Australia, and strangely enough, they put this part on the State Dept website ATTENDEE: Condoleezza Rice --
SECRETARY RICE: Sir, do you have something you'd like to say?
ATTENDEE: Iraqi blood is on your hands and you can't wash that blood away. Iraqi blood is on your hands and you cannot wash that blood away.
Later on she rationalizes Guantanamo and rendition: The Guantanamo -- we have a dilemma. We're in a long war with very dangerous people, many of them picked up on various battlefields in Afghanistan or in some cases in battlefields in cities, where the intent was clearly to kill innocent people. Let's be very clear about the nature of this terrorist threat. These are not people who kill civilians as collateral damage. These are people who go after civilians, innocent civilians, a Palestinian wedding party in Jordan, a metro stop in Madrid, a metro stop in London, a World Trade Center in New York, a club in Bali. And these are people who intend to kill innocent civilians.
~snip~
Now, the practice of rendition is something that's been practiced way before September 11th when extradition isn't an option because sometimes you have to take people off the streets. So that brings me back to Guantanamo. We have no desire to the world's jailer. We would be more than pleased if we had some other way to deal with dangerous people. But I can guarantee you that the day that they're let out on the street and commit another crime, the question will be quite different. And indeed we have encountered some of the people that we released from Guantanamo. We've released hundreds of people from Guantanamo. Some of the people that we've released from Guantanamo we have encountered again on the battlefield. Many of them have made quite clear that they will try to kill Americans or others again.

More Kindasleazy: So yes, the people in Guantanamo are detained. They are detained under -- because of the wars of law, they are detained. And because of the President's decision, even though we did not grant to al-Qaida, to terrorist organizations, Geneva protections, the President said that they should be treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention.
And I would urge -- we have urged people to go and see Guantanamo. Yes, it's a detention facility. But we have tried very hard in Guantanamo, for instance, to make it possible for people to carry out their religious practices, making prayer mats available to them, making it possible to direct them toward Mecca. We've tried to give religiously sensitive meals in Guantanamo. People are trying to treat the people of Guantanamo humanely because that's who we are.

Hecate,
I don't know if you subscribed to Harper's, but there's an interesting piece in this month's issue about the spirit of disobedience and the dichotomy between Reason and Religion:
[D]o Christian Republicans truly not understand the fundamental ways in which an unfettered corporate capitalism betray's Christ's ethical vision and their own economic well-being? (It is an astonishing irony that many of these religious anti-Darwinians are in their politics and economics the most uncompromising Social Darwinians, with a naive and self-defeating assumption of the virtue of competition. . . . .) Most fantastically, do Christian Republicans really not recognize their own perverse marriage with secular rationalism? Or that there is an unacknowledged allaince between the pragmatic, ultra-rational needs of corporate capitalism and the blarney of Christian cleansing through the "social values" movement?

Same here. I find chocolate and raspberry particularly repellent.
and you can't get a piece of chocolate cake in a restaurant anymore without that vile goo smeared all over it. Oh man. You touched a nerve there. And may I say, Tena, that it was a particularly keen insight. And the filthy custom has spread. One of my favorite restaurants in Paris now does it. GRRRRR.

Woody - you can have mine. I just don't care for chocolate and cherry flavors together. It's too much or something. Although I buy a box every year for my best friend, who buys me a can of almond roca in return.
WT - yeah, that's pretty much been the tone forthe last few years. They really get how serious the problems are, and they treat them appropriately. It's so good to hold in your hands.

Oh I take it back - I hunted down a copy of Powys' out of print book about Arthur, Porius. Man is it hard to find. It's a great book, but I've only read it once and Powys is a dense writer. It takes more than one reading.
A Glastonbury Romance just uses the Arthurian legends as a frame for an incredible cast of characters to act out their story. Porius takes place right after the Romans have left. Arthur never appears, he's just talked about. It takes place in Wales, and Merlin does show up. He's the strangest Merlin yet. Powys obviously modeled him on the neolithic shaman depicted in the cave art.
I love Powys. He's kind of forgotten.

I'd actually forgotten this specific case, as someone said there have been so many. But this one does stand out. The cheap sentimental theatrics, that poor family that probably took comfort from his gesture that turns out to be empty. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but he really is such a rotten miserable excuse for a human being. That whole miserable damn money-grubbing sleazy delusionally arrogant clan just makes me sick. There was a time when I bought into there whole genteel doghair on the chintz schtick, back when I was comparing them to the Reagans, whom I detested. Now, I think Nancy Reagan was right to snub these terrible awful people.

I am glad the Plowboys signed TO. I've always hated them and am glad that they have willingly induced a malignant cancer onto their team. Let them rot I say.
I think the Jints need to be careful about signing Arrington. I think he is just another Penn State underacheiver like his old team mate Courtney Brown.

"A college student who used modified song lyrics to describe the violent death of President Bush on a Web site said he meant no harm -- but the U.S. Secret Service seized his computer nonetheless. Tim Willis, a freshman at Mars Hill College, said he made the posting to myspace.com in late February in response to a posting by a friend, whose computer also was seized. The lyrics were from "Bullet," a 1978 song by the punk band The Misfits. Willis replaced references to President Kennedy with Bush's name."

in several parts of the movie, like when the Bush administ-- er, I mean the bad guys got theirs. I said, "For the republicans, for Bush" at the end and got agreeable laughter.

People have been showing up at Condi appearances and shouting out war criminal, you have blood on your hands and nothing you do will wash it away.
People who don't like being called war crinminals shouldn't start stupid bullshit wars.
I can see Condi as kind of a whiny Lady MacBeth.

Hmm. The Brits are having a hard time with V for Vendetta --as the did A Clockwork Orange.
Meanwhile, Blair has been handing our peerages for a cool million quid. Drug!

ah Thers enjoy having a calm one
I had one of those....
always a delight, always top of her class, a quiet reader and thinker and ready smile...
she's currently in Senegal on internship in international development, has already spent a summer in India, and will be 21 next August. I think she was quiet whilst planning her moves.
but yeah, quiet, it was nice while it lasted.

A revolution without agreeable laughter is not a revolution I want to participate in.

How are the older kids taking the blessed event?
Hard to say. The 6-Year-Old has already been through this and so is pretty relaxed, and being just his usual goony self. The 1-Year-Old is not entirely sure what's going on. I don't think we'll see what's up until mom and SP come home from the hospital.
Both of them LOVE the hospital. The way it is now, basically a birthing room gets sort of half converted into a hotel room for a couple of days. So there's a TV for cartoons, a sink for making bubbles, all sorts of interesting drawers to open, places to stick toys, vending machines, tons of trouble to cause... since both of them are mostly interested in creating utter havoc, it is kind of Nirvana.

But if you're like the rest of mainstream America--you support our troops, believe in firmly responding to terrorists on our own shores, and/or respect Christianity--then, don't waste your time at this piece of garbage masquerading as a superhero movie. It is anything but.
If most other Hollywood films subtly whisper of an agenda, "V" clocks you over the head with it with a still sizzling, iron frying pan of extreme leftism. It doesn't arrive in theaters until March 17, but already the mainstream (ie. liberal) movie critics and entertainment media are raving about this egregious attack on our war on terror.
------------
The fact that they are reading this movie, which is based on a twenty year old story, as an attack on Bush says more about them than it does about the movie.

Anyone living in the SF Bay Area should be considering a roadtrip to Point Reyes, Tomales Bay and points north in the next few weeks.
Prepare to be awed.

Mrs. Hey is leading a college group kayaking on Monterey Bay in a couple of weeks. We'll hike Point Lobos after. Done it many times, and still looking forward to it.
Hey, is this thing on? |
