btw, I like Ben Stein. He was one of the first people I saw on TV after 9/11, on Kilborn's show. It was a really weird show, cuz Kilborn was just talking about 9/11 and in a total freaked-out daze, totally quiet and humble... he was in other words exactly the opposite of himself. And Stein was the first guest, and the first topic was- why did Islamic militants hate the US, and interestingly, rather than Israel, Stein thought they were just freaked out by women, just scared of the freedoms and sexuality of women in the West.

Oh, and I've seen Stein's game show too.

I'll bitchslap Asisi with my copy of Summa Contra Gentiles Book Two, "Creation" by St. Thomas Aquinas.

I'm trying to catch up on all their new albums. I've been out of the loop for a while. I'm hoping for gamehenge beginining to end....we can all hope I suppose....

I seem to have sprained my foot, possibly in my sleep... kinda like an ongoing charlie-horse...

now that was a bummer!

yeah a foley has to be in the same category as the chinese water torture. wicked shit......

Yep. Not to mention the two words that follow such a feminine wish:

Yes dear.

And of course the almost-but-not-quite-cure-all phrase:

I'm sorry.

You seem to be nude there. So much for your "no genitals" talk.

No, sadly. THe comics were originally done (way) more than a decade ago, and Marc Hempel has moved on to other projects.

If I lived closer than a 7+ hour drive, I'd totally loan you the collections. They are wonderful.

Mike, I love'em too, but I'm just saying they have their life and we have ours. I wouldn't trade it for their world. Funny how every forum ends in confrontation between us...funny actually. Are u ready for an intellectual ass-whooping at trivial pursuit when I'm home? Not by me, but Neil says he can take us both. Think about it.

STP, amongst other things, had the dignity to break up in a timely fashion. I like at least half of every album, and with most it's a lot more than that. I have here, in a stack of CDs in front of me, Weiland's solo album from 1998... I gave it a recent second chance, and it's quite a nice hard-electronic-weird thingy. My STP-loving friend Dan was helping with the furniture move on Saturday and said Velvet Revolver is good and more like STP than G&R.

ps - I like to make lists, but art does defy the whole listing craze. Beauty does too. You can't list beauty, or resonance, or soul. It just is... but, for the sake of an intellectual game, I will crank up a list or two.
I almost never watch awards shows. If someone does the right thing and spectacularly embarasses themself, it will make the highlight-clip rounds. If someone does the wrong thing, behaving well and just graciously thanking producers and god and stuff, who cares?

Yes, how was Chuck E. Cheese? The ringleted one let me in on the joke.

*snickers*

In other news, you told the one who will be the death of me

at 11:32PM, EDT.

If by "it" you mean "watching some inane TV dating show"...yes, yes we were. What the hell else do you do at 11:32PM, EDT?

back in the day like november 2002 or so, ya know back when i lived at home, and had just tons of expendable income, and i went out everynight. ahhh back in the day.

I don't know if I am a proponent of biodiesel yet... I wonder how much pollutants are released during its processing.

Hydrogen fuel cells, though clean from the end user's perspective, cause pollution because we would first need to make our power plants clean. The electricity needed to perform electrolysis of water is enormous. (I know, I've done it myself at home... 500mA at 12VDC takes almost an hour to get half of a test tube of hydrogen.) The other popular method involves harvesting the hydrogen from Methane gas, and the byproduct of that is lots of carbon.

I assume biodiesel is quite a bit more feasible than fuel cell technology, but is it overall measurably better than gasoline or diesel?


Here's something interesting about global warming:
About Global Warming

I'm not saying it's necessarily true because I currently have lack of data from both sides, but if there really is proof of such a dynamic climate over the past couple thousand years, then although our actions may be warming the atmosphere through the last hundred, I think that it's not such a bad thing as the doom that some people try to make it out to be.

the best bass tone i've heard came from a washburn. i dont know the model, something with active electronics... througha hertke head and 4x10. who knew?
i like a good musicman or rick myself... not a big fan of fender basses.
although, my guy is using a jazz bass now, and it's good with new strings... his bass head sucks, though. some pawned crate. it breaks up before it gets loud enough.

Don't eat anything at Bob Evans-- I used to work there, and *shiver* it's terrible!

Glad to see you finally got out to do something fishin'
