Echidne |
long day for mrs g. her mom didn't join us for t-day because she hasn't been feeling well (it's an hour drive each way, lots of kids and dogs, she wasn't up for it.) so we finally convinced her to go to the doc, who was amazed she was able to walk in under her own power - low oxygen levels, probably pneumonia. so spouse took her to the hospital, they are still in ER waiting for someone to assign her a room. since about 2pm.
*sigh*
she'll probably be fine after some meds and rest. but she's pissed, wife is exhausted (we were at sis's til midnight watching hole grail) and i'm eating leftovers all alone.
HUNGREEEEE!
Hey kids - it's time for the Xmas Jukebox!
My husband the former lawyer says he hopes the family of that WalMart employee sues the crap out of WalMart for creating a climate of panic where he could get trampled to death.
Does anyone know why the crowds were outside that WalMart so early? Were they giving away free flat screen TVs to the first 50 customers or something?
dirk, I'm so sorry. Love to you, Mrs. G, and Grandma G.
Sorry to hear that, dirk. It's very draining, to cope with the system.

i spent most of the time talking about how great a songwriter i think townes van zandt is!
i also shared a mango with him, then later heard part of a song he wrote that mentions someone sharing a mango and i figured it was about me -- but i haven't heard the whole song, and if it's not flattering, i don't think it could be about me.
'vain,' you say??
"Actually, what happened was I went into the kitchen to get a start on the dishes along with the other women-folk and five minutes later I go back in the dining room and the table is covered with firearms. I was like, I can't leave you people alone for 5 minutes!"
Mr. McMurty had something to say about all of that:
"Bob and Mae come up from little town
Way down by lake Texoma where he coaches football
They were two A champions now for two years running
But he says they won't be this year no they won't be this year
And he stopped off in Tushka at that "Pop's Knife and Gun" place
Bought a SKS rifle and a couple a full cases of that steel core ammo
With the berdan primers from some East bloc nation that no longer needs 'em
And a Desert Eagle that's one great big ol' pistol
I mean .50 caliber made by badass Hebrews
And some surplus tracers for that old BAR of Slayton's
Soon as it gets dark we're gonna have us a time"

Loved him in Bruford, but only heard that and National Health stuff. Nothing solo.
If you are interested, we managed to transfer one of his singles to mp3; it is a cover of "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" with Stewart on keys, his partner Barbara Gaskin on backing vocals, and Colin Blunstone (yes, that one) on lead vocals. It came out in the early 80s and I still think it's pretty good.
I think I have your email (unless it has changed), if you can handle a 5-6 MB attachment.....
i also shared a mango with him,
um, you know that mangoes are aphrodesiacs, right?
yeah they sent one person. But still why do mobs have to push and shove to get 10 dollars off a freakin DVD player or Wii. It's a willful submission to the mob mentality to suppress any thoughts.

actually, mrs g has been telling her since weds and getting the "wave of the hand." then MIL talked to mrs g's brother in tx who is a doctor and told her she might have pneumonia and she should get checked. so of course she immediately called here and said she thought she'd better go in.

The bill is unconstitutional but the wingtard councilman is bound and determined to get the county to spend a couple hundred grand on a special election anyway. Love how those wingers care about taxpayer money ... selectively.
There's a Charles Brown version up at YouTube but it's much too uptempo, nothing like as slow as the one that got me all teary as a young 'un forty-seven years ago. The cover version by Aaron Neville is the right tempo, but it's not quite as good as the original Charles Brown version. Anyway, here's Aaron's:
Aaron Neville sings "Please Come Home For Christmas"
Nice tune Jefferson
Nobody has seen Benny Lava?
WalMart's Black Friday plan has been in recent years to advertise a limited quantity of a few loss leaders, and an early store opening.
This year, 5 a.m. is an hour earlier than last year, as I recall. The whole point of opening earlier is to drive the initial traffic that has some money in their pockets away from other stores, hoping that money will get spent with them.
So, people spend all night waiting, they're cold, unhappy, and determined to be at the front of the line for the limited number of loss leaders.
It's a surefire way to create a stampede.

His name is Luka. He sits cross-legged on the floor.
speaking of food, i'm having left over mincemeat. i get the whole pie, because no one else in the family cares for it much.
when i was a kid and went to grandma scrudato's incredible thanksgiving dinner every year, the mincemeat pie got cut on half - one for me, one for grandpa. silly, but it was something i shared with him no one else did. made me feel like we had a special connection. i think that's why i liked the pie in the first place, and still do.

It's a surefire way to create a stampede.
The CNN story said people had been lined up since 9:00 the night before. And they had security OUTSIDE in the parking lot. Where they didn't need it.
It's the height of irresponsibility. I'm sure WalMart was offering some kind of deal like you say -- a limited number of $20 TVs or something insane like that. What the fuck did they think would happen?

The union cries foul:
"New York's largest grocery workers union on Friday urged federal, state and local authorities to investigate what it called "Wal-Mart's failure to provide a safe workplace."
"This incident was avoidable," said Bruce Both, president of United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 1500. "Where were the safety barriers? Where was security? ... This is not just tragic; it rises to a level of blatant irresponsibility by Wal-Mart."

As far as retail goes, today was pretty good for this small businessman. People were out and seemed to be in good spirits. December should be good, then everything will really go to shit in January and February, but we're aware of that and are ordering that way.

From the Press Trust of India...
Mumbai, Nov 29 (PTI) Five large explosions were heard from inside Taj Mahal hotel's heritage building early today which was followed by intense gunfire between NSG commandos and the terrorists holed-up in the complex.
The first explosion was heard at around 03:40 a.M. from inside the old building of the hotel and within 30 minutes four more large explosions were heard from the same area. PTI

Not sure if it was a greeter. Supposedly the customers rushed the doors as soon as they opened. That's why I shop online.

Sure! or just jprestonian at gmail
Or, give me part of your e-mail address, and I'll do a search... there's always a chance I can find a copy, that way, too, believe it or not.

josh ritter has one called "empty heart" which is seasonally appropriate:
So save all of your light
For those who can't sleep at night
And who can't even sing to their shadows
Oh they ride into town
And they throw the shots down
And they save the last round for the windows
Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart
With an empty heart
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
i wish i liked the song better.
Isn't it something about the one day they could count on being "in the black" on balance?
Oh I can tell ya... R-A-C-I-S-M! That's when they started calling it black Friday.

He was only 34. Greeters are like 80 or something.

not when but why. Holiday season sales usually the first time for the year that stores show a profit. Black ink instead of red.

I have already called that the recession/depression being bandied about will much shorter and deeper than any of these pointy heads think.

I've heard it said of mangos...."If your not getting your face wet ....your not eating it right.."
You have to be careful if you eat it that way (taking a bite and then sucking out the juice) There is a milky substance between the skin and the flesh that is highly allergic.
I found that out the hard way.

If you look at the year's business overall, it's the point where you cross over into the "black ink" when all expenses are taken out, and represents when you cross over into profitability supposedly. It's been called that for as long as we've been around (21+ years)...
I'm very easy-going and I love everyone.

Heh. Dave Stewart was wearing a PiL t-shirt, and half the audience were punk rockers.
FWIW, I really and truly am enjoying this music by Tony Joe White.
Very nice - kind of bluesy and nice. His voice is in the same range as Leonard Cohen and DWD so it is kind of fun to sing along.

You are more of an optimist than I am, DWD. I'm going on the assumption that 2009 is gonna suck for a non-essential business like mine. I am cutting orders to the bone and watching every fucking nickel for the foreseeable future... we've been through some shit times and managed to survive, but this is something different altogether. Always optimistic, but guardedly cautious...

Dinner *and* the $25.
No wonder you're angry, you need a business manager.
stoat, maybe I'm not in on some of the in folk in here, but, as best I can tel "stoat" is a new name but everyone kind of knows this stoat. You guys, you are so clever. This deal about posting under some unknown nym, and the pseudotroll action, it's just odd. Maybe the game, commentikg] is just between you guys, but I liked that I could come in here and be in a conversation with friends that If I had lived better I could be in in a restaurant with you in New York, or in my kitchen, say something and that would be okay.
Sometimes somebody gets obnoxious but if you're used to him you pay him no mind. If he gats all ugly, you make him leave or make fun of him until you move past him.
I get the feelin that it's getting all clubby and exclusionary up in here.

At least once a year the commenters get accused of being all clubby and exlusionary, but new people keep showing up and regulars keep disappearing.
Funny that.

Was watching Bill Moyers earlier and he was talking about comments on a piece that he did at the end of October on this guy who was recording street musicians from all over the world. He had them play the same songs, in their own way and then mixed it down onto one final take.
The amazing thing was that some of them were wearing 'phones in order to hear the already recorded mix. but some of them were not.
Please, listen. It is truly remarkable.
