Oh, noooo, Mr Bill! Here come "those nice young men in their clean white coats" to haul me off to my cell for the night.

Gotta go hide.

Keep calm and carry on carrying on.

Not only are all people from Chad known as Chad, either individually or collectively, but everyone is named Chad. No other name. Just Chad.

Can't keep track of what I got from where. Maybe I got this here? Whatevs, here 'tis.

Pixy-ware has improved, 'cause I'm certain I left a tag open on my previous, yet no Barrel™ mandate
Posted by: AltonJackson

Although further study is needed, it seems that Pixy's new method is to close all tags on most messages, lulling us all into a false sense of security.

Best guess is 5% to 10% will still spill over into the next message, and the fail rate mysteriously appears to be higher when it's high tide in the barrel.

If you stare at that Desilu card for a while...

that bighead alien guy's eyes move.

Seriously.

It's a tricky animated GIF.

Just keep staring.

BTW,

Sprawl is worse than Hitler! It's like if Hitler was also racist and hated wetlands and rain forests! It's the worst!

I believe the concept is called branging, some people like Gucci and others do this quite well

I done brang my Guccis t' th' BBQ. Mmm. Good eats.

For the music and guitar freaks out there, Gram Parsons's guitar, a David Russell Young dreadnought, is at auction in Dallas. HA dot com.

I don't have my badly-xeroxed copy of the style book here. Isn't guitar talk banned until message #250 or Midnight Eastern, whichever comes first?

Goooood evening, leddis & germs

Hey, now! They hit me! I was just sitting there minding my own business.

New one up, I hear? Well, for closers and before I have to head back to RL...

Milady Webworker grew up West Side Chicago Irish Catholic Democrat.

She talks about how she started to study Feminist literature. The 1960s, early '70s, y'know.

Unfortunately, the poor girl was cursed with Logical Consistency, and ultimately realized it was all vaporware. I find that remarkable.

She went into Anthropology until she realized the same about it.

When we met, other unconfronted ideas included Theism and Marriage. We thank God for our marriage.

I grew up small town Oklahoma Republican Protestant, but it's remarkable what an infection Regressivism had become everywhere in even small-urban culture by the late '50s, and of course the 1960s, especially its hedonistic permissiveness.

The culture taught us a lot wrong and did us a lot of damage, which I'm sad to say our kids did not entirely escape, but at least we could learn by hard knocks what we did not get taught as we might have in a better culture. At least we can learn. It's been a Hell of a learning curve.

IIRC, Nova did a good animation of the process whereby the fireproofing on the beams got blown away, and all the rest of the sequence that led to the towers' collapse. Seems the place was just not designed to withstand the impact of fully-fueled transcontinental aircraft flown dead-center into them intentionally at high speed.

Obviously, the architect was in on it from the beginning.

Didn't Savvy Junkie tour with the Figs?

80 My theory on the Broncos cheerleader with the skin condition... Posted by: EC

Hey, if you mean what pic I think you mean, I noticed that. This has been discussed, then, I presume? (What am I saying; of course it has.) My thought was, some belt buckles will do that. But your theory is more interesting.

I wonder how many of these people crying over Hoffman's overdose are pro drug legalization?

:: Trying to resist tackling this one... trying ... rrrr ::

:: gives in ::

At least with legalization, if you want to kill yourself with alcohol or heroin, you have a better chance of not getting unwanted deadly Bathtub Gin or poisonous Ace of Spades Heroin. Or can at least if the brown acid is not specifically too good, request return of cost of purchase.

18th & 21st Amendments. History clues.

Okay, I gave in. But I tried to keep it short and light.

Cue my "insensitive, out of touch" card but I never have heard of "the dead heroin guy.",...

I saw this on Drudge, thought, who? checked his name on iMDB. Nothing I'd ever seen. Meh.

It's the AoS heroin, of course, that makes it moron newsworthy.

Wrong kind of engineer.

What's that called when someone's expert in a field but dumber than average about others, yet thinks a degree confers omniscience?

Republicans Can Take The Senate If They Don't Screw It Up

I'm always amused at how swiftly folks* glide by the little two-letter conditional operator that powerfully changes everything.

If everybody would just get along...

If everybody was just honest...

If winter didn't follow summer...

If wishing were getting...

If RINOs didn't sell us out...

*(Not on BenK. Jus' sayin'. I run into this often enough in RL. Whattaya mean, if we just x? Difficulty of achieving x is the whole problem all along!)

It is good to be among people who are honestly willing to call an Ace of Spades an Ace of Spades.

ReProgressivism Kills

I tilt at windmills like fixing contrary language and reversing red & blue on maps. Gave up on calendar reform, though.

Awww, you guys didn't wait up for me.

Just as well. Had to deal with some things... including a cat deciding a white rug was the best place to return breakfast. Got to try out new stain-remover spray. yay.
