Gravatar Black hole sun
Wont you come
And wash away the rain


Gravatar Have to admit, a black hole would be pretty damn cool.


Gravatar Why does it have to be a black hole? Racist scientists.


Gravatar Wait. Romulan ships are powered by miniature black holes, so maybe that's the answer to the whole energy problem!


Gravatar Bob, my husband JUST SAID that this morning when discussing the black hole issue!

I think you two are on to something!


Gravatar Mauigirl, great minds ... and Star Trek geeks ... think alike.


Gravatar I have it on good authority that nothing will be sucked into a black hole when they fire up the Cern equipment. My good friend Kees works for the National Institute For Subatomic Physics in Amsterdam and I'm sure I'll get an early warning if anything like that were to occur. (I'd be maxing out the credit cards right now if that were the case.)

Here are a few pictures from the building stages at Cern, Kees took these on one of his trips:

Gravatar It doesn't matter to me, Nicole, one way or the other. On the day they flip the switch and start accelerating shit, I'm having a party -- although due to the time difference, I might have to have the party the night before!


Gravatar Quite amazingly, I spent most of today tromping around in the out-back of Souther Vermont, ruminating on the transformation of Edgar Winter, the jazz prodigy who put out Entrance, his first solo project, and the Painted LAdy Bullshit which rocketed him to One-Hit-Wonderdom, stuff like Frankenstein.

Do you know the former effort? You're very jazz-aware, so I thought you might have noticed...

I was going to try to find an Edgar Winter YouTube clip for my home space before I saw your reference, and may still do so!


Gravatar I feel the same way sometimes. All I've thought in the last 20 years is that the world needs a really big flush.


Gravatar Funny... I couldn't organize a thought while smoking pot, much less a prison riot.


Gravatar We could have had the atom smasher in Waxahachie and it could have been running several years by now but we know what happened to that, don't we? I hope Kay B. Hutchinson gets out of the senate soon. I heard she was not going to run again but I don't know if that is true or not.

I saw a mini version of the colider at the '64 World's Fair. It was auwsome.


Gravatar We don't mention Kay on this blog. I guess you were not aware.



I remember as a kid I saw an atom smasher somewhere in an exhibit while we were traveling. It was cool because anyone who touched it their hair would stand up. I wanted one.

I began shopping in catalogs and some gimmick catalog was selling an "atom smasher" for some ridiculous amount of money. Like $79. Obviously it was not the real thing, but I sure wanted one.

By the way, how many blogs do you know which have "atom smashers" as a blog post label?



Gravatar Amen on the Cannabis part of the post Kona.

Johnny and Edgar both rock!


Gravatar now candi barr was really quite a star
she's the only one that did that dirty donkey
when she went to jail
she dumped her bail
on a snow white uptight do right dallas honky

little lady's only trying to get her kicks
shot a man down and the next day she walked free
texas law giving two to life on locoweed

hell, i don't need a judge to tell me
how the punishment fits the deed.

when she's good
she's so good
when she's bad
she's better.


Gravatar actually, i've come back to warn you guys that the supercollider causes a time/space anomaly, and that if y'all don't head over there and shut the damn thing down, i'll have to keep coming back here again and again and again until you do.

oh, and start stocking up on scuba gear - you're going to need it to breathe. and save your pee too. you're going to be getting really thirsty.


Gravatar Worste or the best scenario,
in any case thankks for the credit!
