I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

GravatarOK, if this is first, I'll be shocked, because Hell-O-Scan has been lying like the deserter and his dark lord for the last week.


GravatarOK, I'm shocked. Let's see if this can be stretched into a double.


GravatarWhoa! Holy cow stolen base. Taking a pretty good lead out there...


GravatarHe's out...no, wait! Safe at third! Can he take home....here's the play, here's the throw, here's the play at the plate...


GravatarSTOP RIGHT THERE! GO SAY SHEETS NOW!


GravatarWell done, Apprentice!


GravatarWe're all about flooding right now, down below, but hey, congrats on first.


GravatarYou think maybe Reverend Wright was correct? Maybe God has damned our country for all of the sin, greed and corruption that permeates from within our government???

Well, I agree with Reverend Wright with everything but the invisible sky buddy part.


GravatarWell, I agree with Reverend Wright with everything but the invisible sky buddy part.

So who is to blame for the corruption?

Oh, right the voters.

Crap.


GravatarI think climate change may finally be something mankind can claim for its own fucked up self.


GravatarBefore we go any further do ya love me, will ya love me forever...


GravatarYes ... and maybe, kenosha.


GravatarAttention:

The United States of America will now be known as New Haiti. Washington, DC is now known as New Port Au Prince. If we're going to act like a 3rd world country, we might as well go full hog. That is all.


GravatarDarth, I took the stadium tour at the new DC ballpark today, so your approach is on topic for me. I was surprised how many of the people on the tour were genuinely touched by the death of Tim Russert, who they were convinced was "one of the good ones" who "played it down the middle." (It came up because he and Bob Schieffer had very expensive season tickets together and the guide knew and liked him). Maybe we are out of touch elitists?


Gravatarlet me sleep on it,

and get some more salsa...


GravatarHow about the huge friggin' asteriod that is heading for Chicago and will hit any min

GravatarThe United States of America will now be known as New Haiti. Washington, DC is now known as New Port Au Prince. If we're going to act like a 3rd world country, we might as well go full hog. That is all.

Well, I'd offer Honduras or Guatemala as an alternative template, but you have to wonder...which will drive the wingnuts battier...French as the official language, or Spanish?


GravatarDetails are sketchy but apparently Tiger Woods has killed two eagles with his golf ball.


GravatarOkay,

I've trussed my worst 'Thuglican neighbor and dragged him as he screamed and snarled to Ba'al's altar and thrust him upon it, along with copious amounts of sweet balsam, oregano and heather to cover the stench.

As should be well and peaceful between all Atrioseans, if the god has granted my supplication.


GravatarDetails are sketchy but apparently Tiger Woods has killed two eagles with his golf ball.

If only it were doves, he could have gotten away with it.


Gravatarthe eagle on 18th was pretty dramatic.


GravatarWell I didn't mean to hijack the previous comment thread into flooding topics. OK, well yeah, I really did mean to. Sorry about that. I'm sure you understand (all of you but dave).

But we still don't know how many White House turkeys Guckert hit in the face with his balls.


GravatarCharlie, hope the waters soon begin to subside. I live in flood plain farmland too, btw. Our last big one was October 2003.

The ball bounnced twice, the second time plop right in the hole.


GravatarBut we still don't know how many White House turkeys Guckert hit in the face with his balls.

We know Scott and Karl, but beyond that, yeah, it's a mystery.

There used to be a big flock of Canada geese on a course my husband worked at. They got knocked off regularly.

I never see them there any more. wonder how the course got rid of them. They couldnt have all died by golf ball.


GravatarBTW, Tiger did it while limping with a sore knee.

He had to hit two cut shots on 18 because he could not take a full backswing.


GravatarThis was the most incredible golf round I have ever seen.

i watched some paint dry the other day... simply amazing!

Now, does anybody have any questions about why Obama doesn't wear a flag pin?

It's a safety issue.


GravatarWe are actively looking to move as soon as we finish college, pay off all our debts and establish a professional reputation, which will be in ten years.


GravatarMy husband watches the big golf tournaments. I find it's more comfortable to watch it through my eyelids.


GravatarThanks, NTodd, it's been a little odd here tonight.


GravatarThe eagle on 13 was a 50 foot putt.


GravatarThey will be talking about this round for years.


GravatarCharlie, you and your neighbors are going to need clean water for weeks, not days; months in some cases until new pipes can be laid in places. There are some good low-tech methods of purifying water to reasonable standards; is anybody providing links to sites on such topics?

If not I imagine this crowd could turn up some material on short notice. YOu might want to print out things as you could lose power or net at any time.


GravatarWhen will Obama explain his failure to wear a baseball cap when filling sandbags?


GravatarAnd I aint a real big golf fan.


GravatarI will love you all forever, especially all of y'all who contributed to the eschacon travel fund, but N'Todd I would love you even more if you would post a review of my book on your site.

May Tim Russert rest in peace and may his family find solace.

I hope some day that we'll again have a national news presenter that Dick Cheney won't go to "to get his message out", one that won't assume that every conversation with the Vice President's chief of staff is "off the record" unless otherwise stipulated. With David "Karl Rove's Dancing Partner" Gregory, and others like him, standing in line to take Russert's spot, however, I think things are only going to get worse. Whatever his faults, Russert at least was not personally totally corrupt. Wish he were still around.


GravatarBut I got a nose for news.


GravatarI prefer the golf tournaments to be on the east coast. That way it's all over by 3:00. This one lasted forever.


GravatarAnd I aint a real big golf fan.

Neither am I, but I was just telling E that I really admire Tiger. I can appreciate an amazing athlete, even in a sport I'm not into.


GravatarThis was the most incredible golf round I have ever seen.

Half of a tree just came down in the street in front of me. Cray-zay.


GravatarEagles are actually nice big targets, but it's damn hard to kill 'em. Usually have to hit 'em real square at least twice with one of those big knobby clubs before you can finish 'em off with your putter.

GravatarHey, whod'ya think was guiding Tiger's golf ball?

You're right, I didn't take that into account, although my dad was not a big Tiger fan.

He had a problem with media oversaturation, and Tiger definitely suffers from it.

Gravatarmy team got hammered in the CWS opener today

They may have done better sober.


GravatarDid you know, Apprentice, that Phil didn't know how that clip would be used?

And have you seen the collection of Scooter poetry, O Holy Cow? An industrious transcriber reformatted his broadcasts.

As a Red Sox fan, I found it difficult understanding Phil's prolix ways. Ned Martin's home run calls were "There it goes." when a rocket was going over the monster. Or "Mercy." Dead air was okay on Red Sox radio.

But I did eventually get it. And think White was one of the best radio play-by-play guys I've heard. And the perfect foil for Rizzuto.


GravatarSpocko around? If so, thank you for the tip on flights thru Hotwire. Found one there for almost half what Priceline had. And a rental car, too. Cheap.

Gravatarmontanaheadcold,

The dome occupies land that was surface parking when it was built. On the outskirts of downtown where little industrial infrastructure was in in place.

Where is the new ballpark being built? Another surface parking lot; that hasn't been industrial in an eon. But, commuter and light rail are all beginning and ending their lines in front of the new park. It's great...and it condones folks from taking their cars to the park.

They're getting this one right, I'm afraid.

GravatarI don't know how someone can expect to get comfort &/or help if they start out by insulting the very people they are supposedly appealing to.

Even I've found that generally people don't like the "fuck you, help me" approach any more than the "buy it, asshole" marketing strategy.

You, OTOH, have never been here.

GravatarFace it pud for brains you and your phony patriots on the reich only care about and support Bush and his war, you don't give a damn about our soldiers, all you give a damn about is Bush some how adding an unattainable victory to his miserable legacy at our brave soldiers expense.

Yeah, technically, but the Willamette is the one that bisects the city and really makes all those bridges necessary.

There are only four across the Columbia linking Portland with Vancouver, and one of them is a railroad bridge.

Gravatarsomeone in a crisis should not have the added burden of worrying about offending others.

It shouldn't be hard to not insult people for engaging in their own lives, your own crisis or no. They surely don't have to worry about offending folks, but said folks are going to react however they react and people should recognize that, too. Two way street.


GravatarSure, pud.

Gravatar"hat is, patriot who support our soldier"

Actually having friends, colleagues, and relatives in Iraq and Afghanistan (As I do) make a difference, Pud, in how one defines patriotism. Actually being in firefights and living in jungle stink for weeks in war that is now thirty years gone turns one to a belief that patriotism also can mean getting these men and women out of Iraq as quickly as we can.

I miss what started this but:

I know i sometimes come here with my crisis of the day (student hospitalized, student assaulted, student with dead relative etc) and sometimes i get good support and sometimes people sort of move on with what they've been talking about. That's ok - I get more support than not and it is so valuable but no one needs to drop what they're doing to tend to me and I shouldn't and don't expect it.

Nah, I think a lot of them fell for his McMavericky straight-talkin' reformer PR BS and think that's the best shot they've got at winning, which gave him enough votes to win the primaries. But remember: when he was running with all the other candidates out of the race except for Ron Paul, McCrash was still only getting 75% of the Repub vote.

Is that the one where he had the 37 shot Colt revolver?


GravatarOh!
Breaker Morant.

Love, love, love it.

WTF happened to Bruce Beresford?


GravatarJeffCO, having been a teacher for 31 years, I've never worked 9-5. But I never had the class loads that I have in the past five years, more pressure to publish, and fewer research dollars.

It's annoying me, to say the least.


GravatarI considered the Mad Max movies comedy, btw.

Thunderdome, maybe, but Road Warrior was chock full of postapocalyptic goodness!


GravatarGrandmere no like westerns.


GravatarIs that the one where he had the 37 shot Colt revolver?

He only stated counting shots in the Dirty Harry movies.


GravatarC'mon The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is one of the best movies, ever!

I like Once upon a Time in the West Better.

Charles Bronson
Jason Robards
Claudia Cardinale
and Henry Fonda as the villain

Doesn't get much better than that.

GravatarWe watched a good 'un last night -- "The Last Hurrah," with Spencer Tracy. Good flick. Very good flick.


GravatarI considered the Mad Max movies comedy, btw.


Wasn't Mad Max about the coming gasoline shortage?


GravatarSallyh may I recommend "The Proposition"?

A different kind of western.

Can't a guy make a Dolly Parton reference?


GravatarCan't a guy make a Dolly Parton reference?

I hope I never live in a country where he can't.


GravatarWasn't Mad Max about the coming gasoline shortage?

No, Mel had just seen a double feature of Picnic At Hanging Rock and The Last Wave and was angry and confused, yet strangely eroticized.


GravatarJeffCO, I so did enjoy that flick. Dolly Parton wonderful.


GravatarWasn't Mad Max about the coming gasoline shortage?
George Johnston


Yeah, the original movie was quite bleak. The other two were over-the-top popcorn.


GravatarI considered the Mad Max movies comedy, btw.

The Road Warrior is the only one of those I like.

Don't think they don't know it. The democratic legislators protecting Bush had better watch themselves. Conyers and Pelosi may be blamed for enabling the criminality of this administration, which even guys like Bruce Fein are acknowledging openly..

Of course, they could always try to pull off a pre-election crisis or teraist event that requires immediate action. But it would have to be blatantly illegal b/c no way could they get Congress to provide even a fig leaf, no matter how many goatblowing videos they have.

It does seem to be a chipmunk. But all the ones I've seen before had no tail to speak of.

GravatarEchidne, all the chipmunks in my yard have tails about half the length of their little rodent bodies. And we have plenty of the little critters, too, tame as robins. They're working on digging a chipmunk metroplex under the sidewalk, I think.

Gravatarfat tail? skinny tail? runs? hops?

Skinny tail, moves very fast, probably not hopping. I'm in Beantown.

Could be. It's certainly many more than one tailless chipmunk, over a decade or so.

GravatarOur metroplex-building chippies are fast too, running like lightning with their tail straight up like a trolley wire. And they zip up trees when it suits them. And rob the bird feeders with great ingenuity. If they weren't so darn cute they'd be real pests.

We used to have a neighborhood cat that would lurk by the bird feeder & catch the occasional chip, and that would keep them humble and discreet for a while. But that cat is too old to hunt anymore, so the chips are as bold as burglars, the little vandals.

Have a couple that live in the karst topography of the rock in the back yard. It's honeycombed with tunnels that inter connect, they cross the creek to climb onto the bird feeder. Have barred owls that ambush them on occasion.

GravatarSnake woman, a boon, please.


Gravatar"What could be worse than 'Plan 9 from Outer Space'?"

"The Creeping Terror" for one. "MANOS: The Hands of Fate" for another.

Although, I've a fondness for MANOS. A couple of fertilizer salesmen in San Antonio, if I recall correctly, wanted to make a movie, complete with a "Hollywood"-style premier.

So they went ahead and made a movie with a spring powered 16mm camera only good for 30 seconds at a time, wrote a script, built sets, designed makeup, et al etc, and they made a movie and had a premier, complete with searchlights.

Compare and contrast to "The Deep". A film based upon Jacquilinne Bisset in a wet t-shirt and no bra. That's it. That's the whole point of that movie. Nipples.

I have an opinion as which of the two, MANOS or The Deep, is the better film.


GravatarCompare and contrast to "The Deep". A film based upon Jacquilinne Bisset in a wet t-shirt and no bra. That's it. That's the whole point of that movie. Nipples.

Better premise than many a movie....


GravatarChris, Manos sounds to have merit.

OTOH, Monsieur says the only reason to watch the Deep is to see Jacqueline Bisset in a wet T shirt.


GravatarChris, Monsieur claims that nipples are perfectly suitable premise for a film.


GravatarCall me Towelie.
.


GravatarPRESS THE MEAT of your new BOBBLEHEAD OVERLORD
.


GravatarChris, Monsieur claims that nipples are perfectly suitable premise for a film.

Action, suspense, drama, comedy... Nipples can do them all, and do them well, as long as they have a chance to get into character.


Gravatarjeffraham, i think you may be on to something.


Gravatar"OTOH, Monsieur says the only reason to watch the Deep is to see Jacqueline Bisset in a wet T shirt."

My point exactly.

Now, MANOS is not, by any means, a good movie, it's amaturish, it's dumb, it desperately needed a script editor and a real director.

But it's also an honest movie. It's a labor of love.

The Deep is something intended to seperate suckers from their cash.

Did I send you Creeping Terror? The version I have is via MST3K, and even then, it's painful at times.


GravatarChris, I've LOL'd twice over 'The Creeping Terror.' So bad it's delicious!


GravatarJeffraham, how many beers have you had, babe?
