Offsite Comments

One comment? I spent all my time reading threads and comments and then only had time to leave one forping comment before I gotta go? Not fair. There's so many clumsy stupid self-revealing comments I could still make. No? Back to my cell? Well, here's a second, then. Hello goodbye good day good night. Carry on, good ONT folk, and hoist one for me. One whatever, I trust your judgment.

Click the nik for your Hil 2016 poster, if you haven't yet. Or if you have, but were in an alcoholic fugue that time and can't remember it.

Creepings and salivations, my fallow revoltages. I have just read up on the vaginal marple case. I miss all the eggs citing threads. I'd rend my 2¢ opiumyun, but alls I have is a plugged nichole and the SCOAMF took all the change.

Would you let Betsy Karasik babysit your children?

"...she chose those words, edited those words, resolved upon those words for her final draft."

Perhaps a FIFY would be simply "she chose those words." Edit? Resolve? Much less reflect? rewrite? You presume the difference between "first" and "final" means anything except "after blindly running spelling-correction."

Continuing to read through this Fisking of her rambling substantiates this theory. (Much better than reading the original, too.)

...vast and extremely nuanced continuum of sexual interactions involving teachers and students you guys! And yet, all of it, from flirting to whatever, wrong. Huh.

Also, a friend remembers being on some really clean windowpane when he saw Nuanced Continuum open for Moby Grape.

The tangent on Murder was quite a riff in itself. ("People like killing each other a whole heck of a lot." -heh. Yeah, and ain't morality a funny thing? There's some who would never seriously consider even so much as keying a car -- even a Prius with Obama and Co-Exist bumper stickers.)

Not that it can't happen in private schools, but the public schools seem to be an especially good breeding ground (no pun intended) for this. Now add the "everybody should attend public school" Gestapo, and the "your children belong to the village" kidnappers.

The World Union of Communist Indoctrinators vs. a tiny cadre of Indy Ed resisters: those who want to subjugate the family and indoctrinate the children, opposed by those who want to preserve and perpetuate their family's values. IIRC, some old Russian guy once noted something about controlling young minds....

O thread, once fresh as morning dew,
once unsurmounted in the queue,
expired and tired, not dead, it's true,
but, time to bid the morn adieu.

Point elbows and knees up.

It does have that classic combination of self-righteousness, egocentrism, and passive-aggressive imputation of evil upon everyone who disagrees with him. Vintage Obama. : boulder toilet hobo

What's so great about this place, you get this kind of precise, cogent analysis, and it might come from... someone known as boulder toilet hobo!

Im not saying that I'm an A student
But I'm trying to be
Cuz maybe by being an A student, baby,
I can win your love for me.

Why didn't the government ban cars right then and there? "If it saved just one life...." Pre Progressive Era

Seriously (you guys), can you imagine something as free as the automobile being invented and permitted today?

Oh... yeah.

"Caligula would feel right at home...."
___
Caligula appointed a horse to the Senate.

Obombypants appointed Senator Kerry to Sec of State.

Coincidence? I think not.

After all, we know that kids are going to have sex, and we can't stop it. We know that people are going to smoke pot, and we can't stop it. We know drivers are going to violate the highway speed limits and we can't stop it. So we should just make it legal. : One Man Wrecking Crew

Heh, peripheral to your good point, let's not lump everything together, eh? Adult pot-, beer-, fap-, etc-use alone is not fundamentally transgressive, while dangerous driving presents an immediate threat to others.

Now, non-marital sex... it's complicated.

Those two bumper stickers - nice when they advertise "give this vehicle a wide berth".

The (alas not distant enough) possibility of this is one reason (of 1000s) that, almost 20 years ago, we moved the fam away from Chi-town, Jerry.
No nukes yet, but happy to have moved anyway.

baptism permits in public places - you have the 'rights' government allows.

I seem to have tinyurl back. yay.

why does highlight & copy not actually copy on some webpages? Still a few bugs in Opera mini, I suppose.

Now, there's a pragmatic response to a life term which I hadn't considered! Overall, a cell cheaper than lifetime EBT.

A cup of brew

and y'all.

G'morning, fellow evolutionary accidents.

About the puppies, I realize it's a hard situation, not judging, but mightn't the neighbor have done more to intervene then call the shelter and video the burial? I think I might've felt compelled, but I wasn't there.

From the Hollywood article (thanks, BenK), an observation regarding changing business structures:
________
The days of the tightly integrated corporation are largely behind us. Rather than the corporate juggernauts of the 19th and 20th centuries, 21st-century enterprises more closely resemble ad hoc associations of people and capital working on ever-shorter timelines toward ever-more-specific goals. Of the corporations on the Fortune 500 in 1955, fewer than 70 remain today. In the 1960s, the average lifespan of a Fortune 500 company was 75 years, whereas today it is only 15 years, and that number is declining. ... [T]he idea of the corporation — of the business enterprise as a concrete and permanent thing — is increasingly inadequate to communicate the reality of how business works.

His blundering will touch off a regional mideast war that has the potential to involve the Russkies AND the Chi-Coms. : J.J. Sefton ('way back at #30)

Apocalyptic interpretations of Christian scriptures have long posited such a scenario. Read these all my life, and never thought, "that fits current circumstances." Until lately.

I am not a Fundamentalist nor an Apocalysist, so, I don't believe this is The End Times, myself. (Not that what I believe, or don't, affects anything.) But, Interesting Times, at least!

England: no.
France: never mind.
Congress: don't think so
Citizenry: h3!! no!
Military: we'd rather not
Media: Obama to go into Syria alone....

I can dream, eh?

G'morn. God bless America today.
