I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Hi, Moonbats!
Peace
Atrios, are you stoned? Is that what happened?
no, I'm glad it was you Vicki *grumble*
Nice.
Remember to look in the fridge for the remote.
Sorry, focus.
Atrios would never look for his glasses while they were on his head.
Wait till you start wearing glasses.
Someone said the other day that Eschaton should be available as a podcast. I'm thinking maybe not .
Once got stuck in an elevator, only to find that I'd fallen asleep in it, and fell against the 'off' switch...
Atrios, are you stoned? Is that what happened?
Vicki, Who ♥ Al Gore
Mrs A is still outta town....he's a bit...frazzled?
Dammit, Gomez! Have a Coke.
This is Atrios' way of saying he's endorsing McCain.
My ex-husband used to lose his wallet and keys on a very regular basis, and he'd get all pissed at me until he found them. They were usually under the pile of newspaper or some such, but still, I took the brunt of it from an absent-minded fella.
Where were you wearing this "belt"?
Welcome to old age, Atrios! I've often gone on a search for glasses that I had pushed up onto my head.
Too good to use an extension cord, Frenchy?
Dr. Who!
but still, I took the brunt of it from an absent-minded fella.
Vicki, Who ♥ Al Gore
How did he manage to rationalize this as your fault?
And I can see why he's an ex.....
My next husband must never blame me for losing his things. That will be in the prenuptial agreement.
I would never be stupid enough to spend 10 minutes looking for the belt I was already wearing.
Couldn't you smell the onion on it?

I wasn't losing mah glasses at his age.....
My next husband must never blame me for losing his things. That will be in the prenuptial agreement.
What if he loses his virginity?
I'm gunna do kitteh video. bbl
.
How did he manage to rationalize this as your fault?
I don't know. It was more like he was angry because he couldn't find them, so he just started cursing at me. I was in the way, more than anything.
Heh heh heh.
Atrios was so drunk last weekend, he doesn't remember that he auctioned it off!
it isn't age related. My son has curly hair and frequently loses his sunglasses in it.
If you worse suspenders, Atrios, you'd never have this problem!
I stole his belt and replaced it with Folger's crystals.
he'd get all pissed at me until he found them.
Dr Mrs Gromit says the only time I'm really obnoxious is when I can't find stuff I need to get out the door in the morning. I just don't have enough neurons firing to cope.
UCLA pulls to within 3 at the half.
At least Atrios has pants on.
One word: lederhosen.
I'm afraid I can top that. I was in a store discretely talking to my daughter on the cell phone as to whether she'd like this sweater I'd found. I had my keys and wallet in one hand and for some reason suddenly panicked that I'd set the phone down while checking out the sweater. I even said, "Oh my god, I've lost my phone" to her.
You all think less of me now, don't you...
t least Atrios has pants on.
Gomez wins!
In these parts, we call a "belt" a "snort."
I've cursed over not being able to find my cellphone, while I was talking on it.
I once got lost in the Borscht Belt. Does that count?
I do that all the time!
I was in a store discretely talking to my daughter on the cell phone
I usually think of families as a continuum.

My mother gets really frustrated and paranoid when she can't find something. She's not a particularly patient person, with a few notable and worthwhile exceptions, but she's something else when she thinks something is "lost."

Like the time we went over to shelbyville during the war, I wore an onion on my belt....which was the style at the time...you couldnt get those white ones, you could only get those big yellow ones...
You shouldn't even need a belt.

I wear sansabelt slacks and I still can't find my belt.

They definitely are running them up and down. Love is looking seriously tired.
I drove around for hours trying to find my car I was driving.
I would never be stupid enough to spend 10 minutes looking for the belt I was already wearing.
I would.
You and my daughter both, flory!
Yes I've accidently checked that box when the screen moves due to new comments. Then the comment doesn't post because of 'improper' email address.

You can eat pansies and marigolds and hollyhocks. I've never had a salad of just flowers but in the summer I eat lots of salads with flowers in them. Not too much taste, but they do make it pretty!
But no eating the datura or foxgloves!

So you aren't wearing your special blogger coveralls?
I have a habit of holding my keys in my mouth (one key between my front teeth, the rest dangling) as I leave my apartment and head for my car, etc.
One time, I was staying at a friend's apartment, and as I was heading for the door with my keys in my mouth, the phone rang. After taking care of the phone call, I put my keys back in my mouth and again headed for the door.
But because it was my habit to take my keys out of my pocket and put them into my mouth as I headed for the door, I was thrown to find my keys NOT in my pocket this time as I headed for the door.
Yes, I spent the next 10 minutes looking around my friend's apartment looking for my keys....WITH MY KEYS IN MY MOUTH!
God, I'm an idiot sometimes.
You shouldn't even need a belt.

A Brit, a Frenchman and a Russian are viewing a painting of Adam and Eve frolicking in the Garden of Eden. "Look at their reserve, their calm," muses the Brit. "They must be British."

I had no idea rose petals are edible. I don't think I'll be able to eat a salad without them during the season now.
Unless they taste really bad, but even if they do, I'll probably still use a few.

Try whipping tofu in your blender with a healthy dose of raw garlic til it's the consistency of cream. You'll probably need to add some water if it's firm tofu.
Put in over a slow heat. Add some vegan margarine, and a dab of tofu cream cheese and let it just come to a boil.
When it's hot, pour it over spinach linguine.

They wore great kilts, like in the film.
There are two basic kinds of kilt, the 'great kilt' which is a strip of tartan wrapped around the waist and up over the shoulder (but not really worn today) and the 'small kilt' which is a sewn and tailored strip of tartan pleated, wrapped around the waist and held with buckles. This has been around for the last 200 or so years and is a smarter way of wearing tartan. Given that variations of the kilt have been around for hundreds of years (even the ancient Greeks wore a version of the kilt) there is no hard and fast way that you should or 'have' to wear a kilt. As with many things it is dependent on both the occasion and personal taste. What many people assume to be the traditional way of wearing a kilt is actually based on the way Scottish regiments in the 19th Century wore their kilts, hence the military styling of the Prince Charlie and Argyll jackets...

My mom once put her glasses in the fridge
i found mrs g's spare car key when i was doing laundry a few weeks ago, in a sweatshirt pocket she left near the washer. so of course she promptly lost her regular key ring - used the spare first day she misplaced them and then couldn't remember last time she had'm.
so today she wanted to go to the gym, but her member card is on her keyring so she looked and looked and looked but couldn't find them. which meant she had to go to the gym and show id and have her member number looked up.
so she calls me from the locker room. keys are in her gym bag.

I'm personally of the opinion that Michael Jordan was the last nail in the coffin of the NBA. The game they play there is not what I was taught to recognize as "basketball".
Since Jordan, the contagion has spread to the college game. Where I grew up, somebody who tried to take three steps to a layup would have been whistled for traveling on the second step.
This is really the first basketball I've watched this year, and it's not all that bad.

I'm personally of the opinion that Michael Jordan was the last nail in the coffin of the NBA. The game they play there is not what I was taught to recognize as "basketball".
The irony is that Jordan "made his team better" by playing that way. Because he was such a good player, he'd play one on five, and the rest of his team had to perform as a cohesive unit, or they'd lose. A team full of one - on - one players, is not a team.. But a team with Jordan, who at times truly could not be guarded, became six - time champions..

I know it is heresy but doesn't one only have to tune into the last 3 minutes of basketball? At that point the outcome will be obvious or the exciting, thrilling conclusion is about to start. It's the opposite of soccer where there is no guarantee of when the deciding goal is made.
Come to think of it, the only reliable predictor of a goal in soccer is about to occur is something demands that I leave the room during the game.

Except for the troll part I think you just described 90% of the regulars here including me.
Aye, Interesting,,, Wallace was a lowlander. They thought kilts were worn by savages (highlanders. They wore trews, and being a blueblood, he probably did wear armor. Any highlanders with him may have worn something akin to the great kilts.
Blue Blood
Traditionally Wallace has been depicted as the epitome of 'the common man' taking arms against an oppressive regime, in this instance that of English King Edward I, known as "Longshanks" on account of his impressive physical stature.
This notion of lowering the status of Wallace was used especially when comparing him to his countryman and future king Robert The Bruce, who came from upper nobility and was depicted in the film as Wallace's brother in arms.
In fact Wallace's family were minor nobles descending from "Richard Wallace the Welshman", a landowner who was an early member of the House of Stuart. Wallace was also therefore educated, allegedly being taught Latin by two uncles who had become priests. It makes more sense then that this relative nobility and education would allow Wallace to lead men into battle against the English.
No Kilts!
This inaccurate status of commoner can be seen in the way Gibson dressed his version of Wallace. The film portrays Wallace and his fellow Lowland men as fighting on foot wearing kilts, whereas any historian will tell you that Lowlanders did not wear kilts.
In fact, the military appearance of Scottish knights and feudal lords such as Wallace would have been about the same as their English counterparts. When it came to battle they would have also been on horseback, wearing chain mail stockings to protect the legs and a long mail shirt, over which they would sport a surcoat displaying their own coat of arms.
Was Wallace Braveheart?
Perhaps the most obvious historical inaccuracy of Gibson's film is the fact that Wallace was never referred to as Braveheart! The term referred to Robert the Bruce and it stems from the fact that after his death his heart was carried on a crusade against the Moors by Sir James Douglas...

More about kilts and trews..
After the Jacobite rebellion of 1745, the British government passed the Act of Proscription which forbade the wearing of “any chequered cloth” in Scotland...
Having selected a tartan material you may wish to wear it. Clearly most people will want to wear the kilt, but in truth Maxwells, being a lowland family, would normally have worn trews (trousers). The choice is easy, if you think you would feel uncomfortable in a kilt, wear trews. If you have scrawny wee legs, wear trews. If you don't like the cold or indeed the heat, wear trews. If you don't like being the center of attention, wear trews. If you are going to ride a horse....

Anyway, he picked me up and a couple of days later I found my keys in the bag with the lettuce.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23972398/
Whaaaaa!? It is now open season on anyone who says anything negative on the Dem side about anyone.
It's silly that Obama is held responsible for what Ed Schultz says and "warmonger" is a lot different from "fucking whore". But the article says that McCain did the reverse move on some wingnut pundit.

I read a book, The Seven Sins of Memory.
It talks about how we the memory breaks down in different ways.
Now the cliche joke is "I can't remember what they said."
But I liked that they pointed out that there are DIFFERENT ways we forget and some times it's a failure to remember, sometimes it's a failure of attention.
I love reading books about the brain, memory and what people actually do remember and how to help people USE the way the brain work to help them remember your messages vs. some other person's.

I've also heard of the Japanese multi-day underwear:
IIRC, they had three leg holes, so you wore them one way one day, turned them around the next day, then switched leg holes so your... um... dirty bits hit a different spot and then turned them around again for a total of four days of wear.

People ask me, why did you go to law school at Washington and Lee, knowing that it was such a Rethug hotbed?
And my answer is that they accepted my appilication.
I woke up this morning and had a few thoughs
1) Talk radio is not the media.
The second thought has to do with stuff that I talked about at EschaCon08 and I can't condense it yet I want to talk to some of you about it though.
The radio hosts on the right are treated as if they are journalists. They get all the privileges and don't even do the minimum of responsible things. Except SAY that they are responsible. And I guess that is the standard in their world. You just have to SAY you are fair and balanced or a straight shooter or you provide "clean air" but you don't have to follow through on any of those.
So what will it take to change their behavior? If they want to be entertainers then they don't get the bennies of journalists. If they want to be journalists then they can't just make stuff up.

McCain is a warmonger. What's the controversy?
trifecta
Fortunately, even in the unlikely event he were to succeed in a match-up with a hermaphrodite eskimo and communist, he can't invade any more countries because we don't have any troops to spare. He can still bomb Iran but he's more likely to follow the old script that started with Reagan and topple governments he doesn't like the old fashioned way.
McCain is still the chair of The International Republican Institute.
The Coup Connection
How an organization financed by the U.S. government has been promoting the overthrow of elected leaders abroad...
The group, the International Republican Institute (IRI), is supposed to focus on nonpartisan, grassroots democratization efforts overseas. But in Haiti and other countries, such as Venezuela and Cambodia, the institute -- which, though not formally affiliated with the GOP, is run by prominent Republicans and staffed by party insiders -- has increasingly sided with groups seeking the overthrow of elected but flawed leaders who are disliked in Washington...

And how that all kind of stopped after Bush won in 2004?
Good times. Good times.

vicki. i umm was wound a little tight last night. sorry i missed your call.
you however, didn't miss a thing...
It's all good.
Spocko, I've done the Star Trek Expeience twice. It's a real gas. I recomend it to any one who goes to Vegas. My partners and I go pictures of us all on the bridge.
i think it's time to put a movie on.
Another Country or Michael Clayton or Paid in Full?
I saw Michael Clayton. Didn't like it all that much.
If you were a stuffy record exec, and a cheesy band came to you one day with "Pleasant Valley Sunday", you'd have to chalk that that up as a good day at the office.
I just went to the grocery and the person in front of me bought used food stamps to pay for $300 of groceries.

Keep you nose out of other people's business, for starters.
10 other people ruined it. It's at 59.

Mind your own business at the grocery store. What anyone else purchases at the grocery is none of your concern, radish.

Start your car in the garage, turn the radio to KISS FM, and let the happiness envelope you...

Sounds like Judge Christ Seraphim of Milwaukee (now dead) who sentanced a women to jail for shoplifting steaks. When she said she stole them to feed her family who had no food, he told her if she has stolen hamburger he would have given her probation.

"Start your car in the garage,"
haha.
this woman my wife used to work with...her hubby did it that way. after the investigation was closed they called and asked if she wanted the hose back.
She held up the line because her food stamps fell short by a couple dollars.

Oh, fuck off.

Nice of you to offer her a couple bucks...

Why thank you mer. You are very kind. I really appreciated your comment at the event and I think someone else said it too. And that really pleased me because I feel that I can actually communicate better with my voice than with my writing, but the writing has forced me to clarify my thinking. I have such great respect for good writing.
After this happened people said, "Do a book." and I was thinking do we really NEED a another book? Would it sell? What would it be about? Writing a book feels more like a punishment "You've done the work, now do a book report on it and maybe THEN we will treat you like an expert... After we have compared your writing to the greatest liberal writers in the world."
A stand up comedian had the comment that when he did a great stand up act the agents came to him and said, "That was great, can you act?"
He said how silly that was, they are somewhat related but not totally.
"You don't go up to a farmer and say. "Nice crops! Can you cook?"
It's funny, I have this other skill set that most people don't know about that doesn't get used. It's being kept in reserve. Maybe I can get some of the Rudy and Clinton speaking gigs. Then I could afford to attend more blogger Conventions and not have to cash in all my frequent flyer miles to attend.
Well ron, I suggest you hire someone to shop for you so these things don't soil your beautiful mind. Do you worry that other people are fucking too? It just seems like the sort of thing that would bother you as well.

ron, If I'd been there, I'd have taken 5 dollars out of your ass and left a 3 dollar tip.
You fuckin' pimp.
Nugent couldn't be a bigger ass if he tried, though.
Dog, my already awful spelling skills have gotten even worse. I'm off to the Harmony for Buffet Night. A full evening of Jimmy Buffet covers and boat drinks! Hey, it's for the Atwood Comm. Center. Any Mad City Atriots should join us.

Relaxing, listening to music, and watching basketball. Sometimes life is good.
Atrios had as much trouble finding his belt as North Carolina has at finding the hoop.

I would never be stupid enough to spend 10 minutes looking for the belt I was already wearing.
You are young. Life has been kind to you.
You will learn.

Or as my father said to me the first time that song came over the car radio, "Why the hell are they singing 'Tuna Hot Dog'?"

I'm listening to the Jeffy Beck Yardbirds circa 1966 on the BBC.

I look like Errol Flynn, and I run several countries. What have you people done?
Wonder if Roadmaster is doing a show tonight.

G'night, flittermice

Watching bad flicks with Monsieur, petting a cat, and getting ready to make Reubens.
I want my boy back.

I'm listening to it right now but I think it's just his partner.
Later Jr, you acerbic, lovable, curmudgeon.
this reminds me of the night in 1979 that magic johnson and the spartans came to evanston and got blown out.
they lost two games that season: to ohio state by two in double overtime, and to northwestern by 20.
Excellent answers all. I myself am working and trying to distract myself
"i could be getting laid, but my girl won't get here until friday."
you better get a head start.
time to reset the nym, dammit.

I blame my life's downturns because I climbed aboard the dreamweaver train back in '75.
Cool. WORT. Worts and all. (My little reminder.)
Lost Discs Radio is coming on in about 10.

Kansas V Memphis has less panache than UNC v UCLA but good on them.

Orygon.
Hey, Spocko - I'm all for the book idea, as you know. But maybe what you really need is a weekly comic strip a la Bill Griffith's old "Griffith Observatory" or, even better, Dan O'Neill's highly irregular "Penny Ante Republican"...
Let's go have mp3 fun.

Did any of you see that Digby story about the way the Agency for International Development convinced Johns Hopkins University's DBA people to take abortion out of the search results in the database?
It became a "stop" word and was ignored like "a" or "the".
Neat trick. And the guy whom I'm guessing suggested it was. Kent R. Hill. Who is he and where did he come from?
Before coming to USAID, Hill served as President of Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, Mass., from 1992 to 2001. From 1986 to 1992, he was president of the Institute on Religion and Democracy in Washington, D.C. He taught European and Russian history at Seattle Pacific University from 1980 to 1986.
