GravatarGod bless you, Atta J.


GravatarCnn has economists sitting around a poker table talking about the recession and mortgage meltdown. Including Paul Krugman.


GravatarI'm skeerd to announce sheets below.


GravatarWell, I am planning on trimming my toenails tonight. No wait, that can't be it.

GravatarKrugman says this is the worst housing slump since the Great Depression.


GravatarYes, the Fed is buying my failing muffler shop for $12 billion.


GravatarDon't tell them.....it'll only encourage them.


GravatarWell, I am planning on trimming my toenails tonight. No wait, that can't be it.

If both of us do it concurrently, I think we have the makings of a party!


GravatarSomebody linked to some color pictures of the Great Depression the other day.


GravatarI called attasheets.

Maybe we should set up a website so other like-minded individuals have a place to congregate...

GravatarOnce again, apparently I didn't get a memo.

Brett Favre didn't go either.


GravatarIs there some deal happening or something?

You mean the Ayn Rand movie? It's just beginning.


GravatarWhy weren't more people invited to this get together?


GravatarMaybe we should set up a website so other like-minded individuals have a place to congregate...

Registration required, of course.

To discourage toenail trolling.


GravatarOh, and my dial-up thanks Attaturk.


GravatarI'm thinking of restarting my blog so I can do an Eschacon thingie too.


GravatarThe deal is: Its Obama-Clinton.

Nope, not Hillary, CHELSEA.


GravatarNope, not Hillary, CHELSEA.

He's too old for her.


GravatarWhy weren't more people invited to this get together?

The toenail thing? I think you just have to register, not have an engraved invitation.

Personally, I am cultivating my toenails for use in self-defense.


GravatarI have a can of mixed nuts. Let's PAR-TAY!!!!


GravatarThanks Atta, I knew as soon as I hit "send" that you had said you had to stay in DM for a trial or somesuch.

Somebody else's i mean. Don't want to start any rumors unnecessarily.

necessary ones are a different matter.

So, anybody up for some Scrab? Or we could just drink heavily so as to not feel so like extras in the "Left Behind" movie.

GravatarHelen Mirren and Julie Delpie and Eric Stoltz and Peter Fonda. This will not end well.


GravatarIf I recall correctly, you have to be at least 35 to be VP or president. Chelsea will need fake ID.


Gravatarin the bottom half of this bottle of wine, I was having trouble managing a scroll of 580+ comments

GravatarDid you know a vigorous squat regime really can build up your ass?


GravatarI meant to add the link...it is a candidate picking game.

GravatarThis is ridiculous. I've eaten so much ice cream this week, my face is broke out with pimples. Same thing happens to me when I eat chocolate now. When I was a teenager, this never happened but now that I'm in my 40s, it's happening. I never had one pimple when I was a teenager.


GravatarMaybe Jenna or Not Jenna have one Chelsea can borrow.

that was wrong of me.

I shall go cut my toenails now as a form of pennance


GravatarI am going up to Philly tomorrow morning (hour drive at that hour).

GravatarNancy Willing, aren't you st Eschacon?


Gravatarhey toenails ARE serious things.


GravatarHey, Xan. You can Scrab me right up.


GravatarI am boycotting both cheese and steak, whiz wit.


GravatarThat thread was the stupidest thread ever.

i gotta do mine, too.

i'm in.

That's a not great idea.


GravatarPeople here talk about "serious things" here all the time. When people feel the need to capitalize the serious things that things go awry.

That's almost, but not quite, worthy of being considered chindogu.


Gravatark will drink the alcohol. Y will have to clean up the mess.

Well, I work two jobs. One I just sit around mostly but the other, fairly high intensity areobics. My diet is really good. Never any fast food. Mostly cooked fresh vegetables and fruit.


GravatarThe liberty bell was not cracked. IT TORE ITSELF APART!


GravatarSapporo, friend of humanity, your star shines, from the cold pines of Hokkaido to the antipode,  everyone rejoices with Sapporo...


Gravatar"You didn't go to eschaton because you had to clip your toenails?"

that and the $.


Gravatarhmm those are some high status toe clippers.


GravatarNo troll here, just a shy reader who rarely posts and never seems to get a word in edgewise, anyway. The slow traffic feels like an opportunity to stick my toe in the H2O, but damn, wading through hip-deep troll waste sucks. Oh, and I've corresponded with Simels... he can kinda-sorta vouch for me.


GravatarWe are really depressed of late so shortly we will begin to drink alcohol.
k&y


I had two different doctors today tell me that I need to stop drinking. I think the baby doc (heh) felt he needed backup from the grownup doc.

Anyway, I am on my second drink.


Gravatarhey toenails ARE serious things.
pretzelattack

Well mine certainly are. My cat looks at my big toe with a decided look of claw envy.


Gravatardeep thought--"wouldnt this be a better world if people competed for status using toe clippers instead of suvs?"


GravatarSPROING!

I can tell this toenail-clipping blog is going to be serious business.

I blame simels.


Gravatar"The slow traffic feels like an opportunity to stick my toe in the H2O, but damn, "

do they need trimming? if so, hop in!


GravatarBut researchers have now established that the footprints belong to humans. The tracks, etched in volcanic ash, date back 385,000 to 325,000 years, making them the oldest human footprints ever discovered. Occasional handprints are also visible, suggesting that the track makers used their hands for steadying during a difficult descent, but otherwise walked upright.



John McCain,on the campaign trail.


Gravatarwhoa underwater toenail clipping. this could be an olympic event.


Gravatarremember in the end. nobody wins unless everybody wins...

the boss.


GravatarI just got the stupidest political spam ever.

Gordon Smith is stating that ultra liberals from outside the state are trying to beat him. It's wrong for out of state partisans to decide Oregon's future.

So he is asking people out of state for money.


Gravataremma, not going to Philly

Welcome to the Toeclippers Unanimous blog! Pull up a footstool and get trimming!

GravatarJust think, we could all be on a rooftop deck having liberal pedicures right now.


Gravatarcats are hard to impress anyway, and even if they are impressed, they will act like they're not just to look cool.


GravatarI need something to go with this Steve Reich I'm listening to. Hmm, never smoked tonail clippings.


GravatarMostly cooked fresh vegetables and fruit.


My diet is redundant except for dinner. Bran cereal and fruit for breakfast. Soup and bread for lunch. Pork, beef, fish, chicken, pasta for dinner. 2 yogurts , bread and peanut butter, nuts, as a snack.

Exercise is 40 minutes 5 days a week with dumbells including squats.

On the flipside, a ready supply of dora teh explorer bandaids saves the day


GravatarEver try to find the rooftop deck with Google Earth? Damn a lot of city looks alike from up top.


GravatarI need something to go with this Steve Reich I'm listening to. Hmm, never smoked tonail clippings.

Lessee, what goes with Steve Reich? The sound of hair growing?

No! The sound of hairs being plucked individually from a human scalp, with that firetruck siren in the background.


GravatarI trust simels he'sstanding right next to me.


GravatarCouple days a week at the gym (1hr) and a round of golf on the weekend. Not exactly sweating the world on fire, but I'm an old woman, so whaddayawant???

sorry, floating around the tubes.

Pie, I am only going to be going to the Saturday events. I wouldn't have been able to go at all but someone emailed me yesterday that I could go up with him, so voila!
I better try to rest up to get up in time.


GravatarI'll usually have bran and raisin cereal with a chopped up banana and the organic milk for breakfast. I always check out the fresh produce and get an extra amount if it's on sale. Last week they have fresh green beans for $1.20 a pound so I've been eating alot of that and of course with boiled potatoes. Krogers here went outta business and marked down their frozen veggies 25% off so my freezer is pretty full.


GravatarI trust simels he'sstanding right next to me.

SPLITTER!


GravatarMaybe the preachers backing Kwame Kilpatrick are talking about the power of redemption and all that jazz. Nevertheless, Kwame needs to step aside for the benefit of the city that he professes to love. He can't effectively run Detroit while he's under indictment and the City Council doesn't trust him.


GravatarFriday Nudibranch Blogging is much more fun than a bunch of half-naked, drunken Atriots, and much less likely to give you herpes.


Gravatari try to eat fresh fruit, esp bananas. they are supposed to be good for the aging brain.


GravatarI better try to rest up to get up in time.

With that crew? Definitely.

Have a great time.

You left out the toenail singers in closed harmony.

Oooh, purty.

I always like the colours these nudibr... waitasec, why is my crotch burning?


Gravatar
I plan on it~!
I love hippies.


Gravatarhmm i never heard that steroids were useful in playing chess. i know fide banned caffeine in one of the olympiads, in a pathetic attempt to get chess recognized as a "sport".


Gravatar"We had cases in bodybuilding, chess and windsurfing," Asakawa said. "The chess player was given some medicine by his doctor and the windsurfer took some hair-restoring treatment for a condition he had, so they were unlucky in a sense. The bodybuilding incident was different, but cases of doping are still rare in Japan so it is still quite a complicated feeling when someone is caught"

How can a windsurfer be expected to compete at the top levels without the proper hair?

Haters!


GravatarWooooooooooooHooooooooooooo!!!!!!
.


GravatarI was at Walmart the other day and they have these new Rubbermaid individual serving containers that down't leak. So I got 8 of those. They're great for bringing a variety of cooked vegetable to work for lunch instead of fast food.


GravatarYeah, I know it's "Walmart" but what are you going to do if you're poor?


GravatarMaybe the preachers backing Kwame Kilpatrick are talking about the power of redemption and all that jazz.

Well, then they should have been trying to redeem him before.

This has been percolating for months.

I feel sorry for Detroit.
Not going to get better any time soon.


Gravatar"I was at Walmart the other day"

INFIDEL!!!


GravatarYou left out the toenail singers in closed harmony.

True, it's been awhile since I've listened closely and on purpose to Reich.

so what's the deal? i heard they sent 2 boats and a helicopter...


Gravatarhttp://www.lulu.tv/?p=8266

They have PC pens in Japan. They project the keyboard onto the table, and the screen onto a wall.

These are teh cool. I want one.


Gravatar"Yeah, I know it's "Walmart" but what are you going to do if you're poor?"

I like to do Big Lots and buy the detritus of the wal marts and macys etc. at pennies on the dollar.


GravatarGood evening, peeps.


GravatarOnly the rich can afford to snub Chinese goods...

g'night good people
I'll make a full report of Atriot fun.


GravatarI never have to buy the fruit myself. They always have bags of the stuff lying around work for the employees.


GravatarHi.  Hope everyone at Eschacon is enjoying.


Gravataris somebody liveblogging the haloscan box for people at eschaton ?


GravatarHi Karin - welcome to the Left Behind Atriots' club.


GravatarDuck and Cover was actually smarter: Japanese children are ordered to sing Kimi Ga Yo during earthquakes. Kimi Ga Yo is one stanza long, in fact it's really one run-on sentence ("Kimi ga yo wa, chiyo ni yachiyo ni, sazare ishi no iwao to narite, koke no musu made"). Do you have any idea how many kimigayos a kid can go through in an earthquake?


Gravatar"Only the rich can afford to snub Chinese goods..."

I don't snub Chinese goods, I snub american employers who learned their HR practices from the Cultural Revolution.

Left Behind at the Gas Station
Left Behind After the Snipe Hunt
Left Behind the Tastee Freeze
etc


GravatarWas thinking of planning a trip to Eschacon this year, but glad I didn't. Things have gotten crazy round here.


GravatarEverything's pretty good, here. Can't complain.


Gravatari think that left behind the tastee freeze concept has possibilities!


Gravatar"The only thing I'm suspicious of at Walmart is it's meat section. That I avoid, unless it's like the already packaged bacon or eggs."

Werd

That stuf scares the hell outta me. Who knows how far that was trucked in from, all to screw the meatcutters union.

Actually, I'm really lucky there's a mennonite farmer with a retail butcher shop right across the river from me. I buy most of my meat there, higher quality than any of the area grocery stores and actually cheaper on most things.

So yer gonna tell us what the hell this means/translates to and how it is supposed to help one survive an earthquake?? If they want them to chant something mystical for morale purposes, wouldn't the Catholic Supreme Unction or whatever they call the self-administered Last Rites, work just as well and also serve a nice Just In Case function?

I mean, in Latin (like Jeezus spoke) so they wouldn't know what they were saying and be scared.

GravatarActually, I'm really lucky there's a mennonite farmer with a retail butcher

You're lucky. Most of us don't have that option. I think Walmart irradiates their meat and blows carbon dioxide under the plastic wrapper to make it really red like that.


GravatarHey UNE. It's been great here. It's wondermous down here, I gahrontee. Hope the same there.

I am researching gardening, have some heirloom seeds, and am planning for the future. I am also part of the local sustainability commission, and hope for the best while planning for the worst.

c'est la vie as it were.

Gravatar
Well, except for that copyright thang. Do the fundie authors have rights to that name? Prolly so, unless we expand it.

You can't copyright a title. If you want to release a novel tomorrow called "Gone With the Wind" there ain't a damn thing the (extremely active and entirely humorless) Margaret Mitchell estate can do about it.

You can't copy the insides of the book, or even parody it without a long and expensive court fight, as the writer of a work called "The Wind Done Gone" found out, but the title is fair game.


GravatarIt means may you, you being the Emperor, live for a thousand years (meaning forever), in fact may the Emperor live for eight thousand years since in Chinese "eight" puns with "hapiness" and "peace" and "harmony" and all that is good, long to the point that pebbles grow into boulders and the boulders are covered in venerable moss. Japanese love rocks for rocks' sake, by the way, especially if they look old and weather-beaten and interesting and covered with venerable moss.
 


Gravatar"I am researching gardening, have some heirloom seeds, and am planning for the future."

Any links to share with a likeminded gardener?


GravatarBut my new project is growning and canning all my vegetable in containers. Had some questions today while thinking about it I'll have to wait and ask plantsman in the morning when he's around.

Later all.


GravatarYou can't copyright a title. If you want to release a novel tomorrow called "Gone With the Wind" there ain't a damn thing the (extremely active and entirely humorless) Margaret Mitchell estate can do about it.

True. Which is why Ray Bradbury's hissy fit over Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 911" title was so idiotic.


GravatarEvening, rational people:

Just a drive-by from someone else who isn't at EschaCon.

I just wanted to announce that I have Friday Cat Blogging up.


GravatarThat is one elaborate lolcat.


Gravatarso, did Ntodd make it past the nsa and get to con II?
fokowi nomowo


I called the airport and told them to be nice to him.

That he was embarrassed about his name being Achmed Pritsky so he probably was using a different one.


Gravatarwouldn't the Catholic Supreme Unction or whatever they call the self-administered Last Rites, work just as well and also serve a nice Just In Case function?

The term is, or was, "Extreme Unction." The sacrament is now called "Anointing of the Sick."
