I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Early here.
And now I have to go and do something useful.
does that make all of us two degrees away from him then?
Haha!
but yeah- he didn't age so well. he'll always be footloose to me, but i can see how some millennial gen kid would look at him and kyra and think of them as "old."
Um, so nobody stared at Kyra Segdwick?
Hmm........
-
Riding in cars with Ezra Klein.
That was a Drew Barrymore movie I think.
I always thought that 6 degrees thing was stupid, as I am 2 degrees of separation from Hollywood and 2 or 3 from DC politics
I once saw Steve Martin on a bus. I knew it was him. He knew I knew it was him.
I didn't have anything intelligent to say so I just got off the bus and let him ride.
I knew what I wasn't going to say, "I'm a wild and crazy guy."
I was going to say, "Your adaption of Cyrano de Bergerac, was really excellent."
I think he would have liked that, but I understand he's pretty prickly around people.
I like bacon.
Ugh.
Bacon felt the terrible need to hide his face because Atrios's eyes glow yellow with red pupils.
Edwards is alright with me. So is Kevin Bacon.
Kyra is a strange looking woman. Attractive, but in an odd sort of way.
I love the Closer. She is great in it.
Hey Atrios you're an academic and all, what your Erdos number?
Deadthreaded:
That is an excellent question and I don't have a fucking clue about the answer. What do you suggest?
Getting involved NOW with Election Protection projects in every state, and spending as many volunteer hours as it takes to keep them from stealing votes/keeping African Americans and poor people from voting. Joining League of Women Voters and signing up people, starting now, to vote. Getting ready to riot. Reading Pax Americana and adopting as many of the techniques there as possible.
I'm an old woman with a bum ankle and next time they steal an election, I intend to make them shoot me or arrest me, one.

That's a very funny story!
We prefer John Kenneth Galbraith's phrase: "close to the center."
Good thing Thers wasn't with you. Word on the street is he has a thing for Bacon.
Me thinks Duncan is suffering with SAD.
or he's just a DFH.
Kevin Bacon is for Edwards, what more evidence do you need that John is THE candidate to get behind?
Waaay back when, I was a messenger for one of the many fine messenger services here in LA. I had a delivery to one of the studios early one morning, to one of the casting offices, as I recall. Can't for the life of me remember which studio. But I do remember that sitting in the outer office -- slumping, actually -- was Kevin Bacon. This was something like 9:30 in the morning. I was surprised a guy like Kevin Bacon was even up that early, much less sitting -- or slumping -- in an office.
In those days, I frequently had to go to MGM -- they still owned the big lot then -- and I would always park in Sylvester Stallone's spot. Because I figured a) the chance of him actually showing up was kinda slim, and b) he couldn't really beat me up anyway. Around the third or fourth time I did that, it occured to me that people going past my car might very well be remarking on the curious fact that Sylvester Stallone drove a piece of shit white Toyota Corolla...
I'm 99 degrees away from everybody.
I'm an old woman with a bum ankle and next time they steal an election, I intend to make them shoot me or arrest me, one.

Heh, s'posed to be down there tomorrow, but Al Gore won't let me go, so probably Monday.

Let's not forget the guy with name that was the most fun to say:
Jeff Gilooly
"Nobody dies of natural causes at 40."
Horses do.
I looked over and said, "Actually, he looks like Kevin Bacon." Then, noticing the woman driving the car was Kyra Sedgwick, I said, "Actually, that is Kevin Bacon."
Back in 1984, I was in a nightclub in Toronto. I looked across the room, and saw someone who looked like Melissa Gilbert. The confirmation came a few seconds later, when, out from behind a pillar, popped Rob Lowe. They were dating at the time.
I was surprised at how short he seemed.
Nobody dies of natural causes at 40.
HoneyBearKelly
Being too fat and having a heart attack is natural causes.
I would have told him "what's shakin' bacon"... that would have charmed the pants off him.
At some point I got tired of jokes about being raped in prison. I think it was after it was pointed out to me that the people who would be raped in prison were DFH and liberals like me.
I contacted the group "Stop Prison Rape" and talked to one of the staff lawyers there. I learned a lot.
Of course lots of people really want to see rape in prison as part of the punishment because, you know everyone who is in prison deserves to be there.

which are in no way connected! very few in my set are under 5'8", which while not totally 'tall' isn't exactly short either.
they're feeding the young gayuns now, so they're growing bigger. or something. hollywood, on the other hand, is very crowded. also, if all actors were tall, none of the money people would ever be able to get laid. it's hard enough for them as it is, having to buy fresh starlets and boi tois by the busload every month.

When I first returned to the states - in 1972 - went to see Animal House in a Eugene, Oregon theater (where the film was partially shot). When Kevin Bacon's name appeared on screen at the beginning I said WTF? - I had a brother named Kevin Bacon who lived in Oregon who I hadn't seen in 8 years. I spent the whole movie looking for him - and, of course, it turned out to be a different KB.

Total for 8 papers: 7 A's and a C. Final Grade: B.
Asshole prof.

That fucking sucks. And reminds me of a paper I wrote about the Spanish Armada for Mrs S in 8th grade English. Fucking smegma-brained whore, she was.
That does suck, Toonscribe, and it reminds *me* of a story my brother just told me to cheer me up when I didn't get included in a show I wanted, about how long it took George Lucas to get American Graffiti made 'cause all the suits said 'No' 'cause they thought it was about FEET!

I worked on the Ghostbusters cartoon series. Michael Strazinski was the story editor. So I have 2 degrees of Kevin Bacon from everyone in B5.
I think the bacon needs to be at least 212 degrees, to avoid trichinosis.
that last post is freaking alarming and exactly right. The US is like the old USSR with propoganda instead of news - government secrecy - loss of rights at the slightest provocation - the "privellaged classes" - kevin bacon to take the edge off?
There must be guys in the Kremlin kicking themselves for not employing hired terrorists to strike US interests in the bad old days of the cold war - I'm sure they never guessed the US would turn into a nation of screaming ninnies over the POSSIBILTY of a few convenentional bombs -

So I've had a busy day, repairing an accordion among other things.
I said, is there something I could make that you'd like? He looked at the floor and seemed very embarrassed. "Well," he began, "my mom was never a baker, but every Christmas, she'd make those Pillsbury Slice and Bake sugar cookies and we'd frost them."
I promised him that at Monday's meeting, I'd make sure he'd get some.

Anyway, we were studying Elizabethan shit because of that Billy Shakes guy, and I'd done this 3-level fucking outline with lotsa detail about shipping technology of the time, weapons, tactics, the politics involved, etc. Mrs S approved. Then after toiling over the goddamned thing for weeks, which was totally cool because it was a neat subject but damn I hate writing papers almost as much as I hate grading them fuckfuckfuck, she gives me a goddamned C and every other fucking comment was "is this detail necessary?" Of course, the other comments were "please expand your thoughts."
And people wonder why I comment the way I do. My scars, they have not healed. Mostly because I pick at the scabs.
Nutella Biscotti Recipe
3-4 Dozen
1 hour 20 min prep
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup nutella
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup hazelnuts (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. 3. Beat eggs in a large bowl until rothy. 4. Add sugar and continue beating on high for 2 minutes. 5. Stir in Nutella. 6. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and stir until well combined. 7. Stir in chocolate chips and hazelnuts, if using. 8. Divide dough into 2 or 3 logs with well floured hands and arrange on a parchment lined baking sheet. Press logs into rectangles approximately 1/2 inch thick. 9. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes. 10. Remove from oven. 11. Turn down oven heat to 300°F. 12. Using a serrated knive, cut logs into 1/3-1/2 inch slices. Arrange on baking sheet and return to oven. 13. Bake for 10-12 minutes, turn biscotti over and bake an additional 10-12 minutes (depending on the thicknes of your slices). 14. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.

We've got a thing that's called something like that.

It’s Dumond, not Drummond.
Guess you guys care so goddamned much that you get the name wrong all the time…
you know right wing sites are the only one to spell his name wrong, and did so for a very long time.
It isn’t helping the google searches on Huckabee now. Word is out.
Mike Huckabee should propose tax cuts for rapists, instead of freedom for rapists.
Then the GOP would vote for him in droves.
He would have lost an election in Arkansa to Jimmie Lou Fioscher, onlyh e had a compliant Scaife- and Murdoch-owned swath of protection from the issue, in addition to Cox Cable(swift boaters) helping keep the item off the airwaves…so the Democratic candidate cranked up a direct mail campaign.
Huckabee used illegal methods to block that in the postal service.
That’s right, massive Federal Mail Fraud. Lucky for Huckabee the DoJ changed a prosecutor in his state and put a gag order on Republican lawbreaking prosecution… (Balloon Juice comment)
About a year or so after Nelson Mandela got out of prison, I was sitting my office doing some paperwork.
One of the people I worked with poked his head and said, "hey Nelson Mandela is down the hall, would you like to meet him?"
I said, "sure, why not."
It was just luck, he was there to see some other people on my floor.
Michael Strazinski was the story editor.
I once got into a major argument with him on a comic book newsgroup. At the time, he was writing the Amazing Spider-Man, but he couldn't make a deadline to save his life. It was normally a monthly book, but his issues were only coming out a few times a year at that point, something I was ragging on him for. Anyway, he stormed off when I pointed that he'd have fired any writer who'd treated their B5 deadlines the way he was treating his own.

So I've had a busy day, repairing an accordion among other things.
My sister married a German Catholic from Hayes, Ks. Used to go to big Polka
thingies & got to know a couple of Accordion players.
One had just bought a new station wagon to haul his gear. One day he went shopping & forgot to lock the rear door where his accordion was stored. When he got back to his car he noticed the back door slightly ajar. Fearing the worst, he ran to see..
and his worst fear was realized.......
yep he found three more accordions.

I think we're laying low on Huckabee until the general election because he's the most easily defeated candidate evah!
Always try to meet people who just turn up to meet other, more important people down the hall. You'll be happy and they won't care.

I have a blog.
I'm sure it'll come out with club soda.

I'm pretty sure he didn't think it was funny when you locked him in one of the offices.
One of the people I worked with poked his head and said, "hey Nelson Mandela is down the hall, would you like to meet him?"
I said, "sure, why not."
Damn, that's cool.
When we used to rent a limo from IAD to our gig at the USPTO, our driver usually was Steve, who owned the company, and used to be the security/convoy guy for Mandela. He told me lots of stuff about convoy strategy and security. He also worked for other leaders.
Started out as a busboy when he first came to the country.

JERUSALEM - Israel's public security minister warned Saturday that a U.S. intelligence report that said Iran is no longer developing nuclear arms could lead to a regional war that would threaten the Jewish state.
I once got into a major argument with him on a comic book newsgroup.
I sorta contradicted him the first time we actually met. I'd already done 4 or 5 Ghostbuster scripts and dropped by his office one day. We were chatting amicably -- glad-to-finally-met-you-face-to-face and all that -- when a young new writer dropped in to talk about the problems he was having getting premises approved. Strazinski told him to think of some kind of personal story to have the characters involved in, etc -- the usual Toonwriting 101 BS. Then he looked at me and said "that's how you do it, isn't it?" I said no -- I try to think of a ghost/supernatural being you haven't used yet and come up with the main character personal story to fit the parameters of the ghost. I don't think he was too pleased with my answer, but I did 3 or 4 more scripts after that.

His band was surprisingly good at the DNC - happened to see it as a volunteer
My one degree of KB: taking the bus (the bus?) up Broadway on the Upper West Side in about 1996, saw a long-haired kid get off the bus in front of me who looked to be about twelve years old, wearing black Converse hi-tops and short jeans and a backwards baseball cap. He headed the same direction I was going, with an odd bounce in his walk, and I kind of stared at him as he went trying to figure out what his deal was. About three blocks up, he turned East on about 91st street, and I realized it was Kevin Bacon.
I saw Kevin Bacon & a couple of kids just as I got off the bus in Seattle, 5th avenue in front of Westlake Center--his jeans were totally sewn on and that was several years ago before skinny jeans made a comeback. It was cool.
But an Edwards sighting would be even cooler.
