GravatarDavid Lynch and Werner Herzog said L.A. is a great city, but you have to know where to look.

NYC is like that, too. It isn't all Manhattan, Sex and the City crap. Thank goodness.


Gravatarthrid?


GravatarOh, only fifth


GravatarOK, here's the story to make you think that your day probably went better:

"SHEBOYGAN, Wis. -- A truck driver distracted by his digital music player tipped his semitrailer on Interstate 43 in Sheboygan County, spilling about 40 tons of cow intestines.

"Parts of the interstate were closed for about two hours on Thursday while authorities took care of the mess of beef by-products, including intestines and bones.

"Sheriff's officials said that the 25-year-old driver told them the semitrailer veered off the road as he adjusted his MP3 player. He was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

"The tractor-trailer, which is owned by Birchwood Transport of Kenosha, had to be towed from the scene."

GravatarNYC is like that, too.

except you don't have to know where to look as the great is almost everywhere you look.

Well, sally, I would just love to connect the dots for you-- I really would. But the fact is, this place is not especially congenial to conspiracyish discourse. I really can't lay it out here, so I'll only remind you pointedly that search engines are your friend.

And I'll give you one hint, which is more than I should dare: Kevin Bacon is involved.


GravatarI needed to post that because seldom do Kenosha, Sheboygan, and spilled cow intestines come together.

Gravatarhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run...te- TR_News_1993
Emergency escape ramps are typically located in mountainous areas which attract high construction costs and present difficult site selection.[1] Designs include:

* Arrester bed (see below): a gravel filled ramp adjacent to the road that uses rolling resistance to stop the vehicle.
* Gravity escape ramp: a long upwardly-inclined path parallel to the road. A large length is required, control can be difficult for the driver, including rollback after the vehicle stops.
* Sand pile escape ramp: a short length of loosely piled sand. Problems include large deceleration and the sand is affected by weather conditions (moisture and freezing).
* Alternatives: such as a vehicle arresting barrier

(02-09) 13:37 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- Elie Wiesel, the renowned Holocaust author and Nobel Peace Prize winner, was attacked and dragged out of a San Francisco hotel elevator last week, possibly by a Holocaust denier who claims to have stalked Wiesel for weeks, police said.

Wiesel, 78, was at the Argent Hotel Feb. 1 for a conference on "Facing Violence: Justice, Religion and Conflict Resolution" when he was confronted in an elevator by a man insisting that he wanted to interview the author, according to San Francisco Police Department Sgt. Neville Gittens.

Wiesel said he would do so in the hotel lobby, but the man insisted on going to Wiesel's room. The man then stopped the elevator at the sixth floor and tried to force Wiesel into a room there.

"That's when the victim started yelling," Gittens said. Wiesel escaped unharmed, made his way down to the lobby and called police.

A man calling himself Eric Hunt and claiming to be the attacker posted an account of the incident on a virulently anti-Semitic Web site called ZioPedia. The account, posted Tuesday, matches the description of the attack police later released.

Gittens said police were aware of the Web site and that there is a suspect being sought. However, he would not say whether the suspect is the person who posted the Web account.

GravatarAccording to Bobo, Congressional hearings investigating the Iraq war are about what is past, a matter for historians, a partisan game show.

There's only one explanation: Bobo is a paid Repug shill.


GravatarPeople who can't pun reliably always rag about it.
plantsman,

You just need to ruminate about it awhile and digest the meaning

No thanks to the organic and inorganic fertilizer you poured on that tree...

That seems to be the RNC talking point, third or fourth time I've seen it today.

He should be horsewhipped for that -" which we now see has born fruit" - yeah, cause you planted the motherfucking seeds, you sorry sorry piece of shit.

GravatarWell, I sat down and read the paper at dinner this eve. Specifically the letters to the editors. I have been increasingly distrustful of how LTEs are handled, but today it was enough to bring me to vulgarity. One thing I am trying to recall, is it seems to me in the past the Paper would print rebuttals, corrections and other clarifications in response to a Letter. It dawned on me that I have not seen such a practice in years. Instead, they print anything (selectively?) and allow it to go unchallenged. If a rebuttal comes in at a later point, I am not sure if it has a chance of seeing print. The following is what seems the norm again and it pretty much blows. Of special note, read the SLANT TOO NEGATIVE letter. That just royally pissed me off.


GravatarThat soup sounds great, the problem is, I'm just too wore out to get off this bed and cook it.

Is this what they meant by "enhancement"?

If'n you want salvia, you need to hit Kew Gardens outside London. Magnificent.

Damn, I wish you'd brought that up two days ago when I was ordering herbiages. That would be lemon grass, not the ribs.

But I've got two sixpacks of celery and they're very handsome too. Into the ground with them!

What about those claims of a meeting in Czechoslovakia (Subsequently debunked) between one of the 911 hijackers and a member of the IRaqi secret police?

Rita doesn't sound as raspy as she used to.

GravatarI'm feeling a bit punchy this evening...


GravatarAccording to MSNBC, Feith's intel has been totally
repudiated, so of course, he's gotta say IT IS TOO TRUE!

I've always dreamed of having more thyme. I'll keep my eye peeled.

GravatarThe thing about lemon thyme is, you can step on it and crush it a bit in the garden, and the fragrance stays with your shoes and blows you away!


GravatarOK, I was on the previous thread but let me repeat my comment--so weird--just as I was reading a comment from Sinfonian, there he was, talking on my tv--some q/a show I have never seen.


GravatarAnyone that makes it this far down, take a picture of yourself making a toast, post it to these guys and they'll buy a soldier a beer!
