  1. So does it go from a slow decomposing state to a faster one next week?
  2. I've got a similar recording of my "Last Night in Saigon Motorcycle Ride" at home. I'm not tech-saavy enough to YouTube it, although it would be a h00t. We were very nearly crushed by at least two lorries and a SUV. My wife wouldn't go with me, since we had just received my son, so I went without her on a motorcyle with our laison man, Phuc. The wife felt that our new son needed at least one parent to get The Boy back to the States. Almost worked out that way, too, but I'd never not do that ride again. Crazy...
  3. RuDY, your podiatric tribulations notwithstanding, this is ancient news. Mel the Resident Scribe/Former Commercial Airliner Engine Thrust Tester was outed here very publicly several months ago. linky

    Indeed, suh. Touché!
  5. As opposed to the lowest cost bidder? I agree with the assertion that you'd rather not have dumbasses building your bridge (neither would I), but there is certainly nothing to guarantee that ConstructCoInc, or whoever gets the contract, is going to do any better of a job. Remember when our floating bridge sank? Reminds me of something John Glenn (??) said when a reporter asked him how he felt about being shot into space (paraphrasing now): "I'm sitting atop the world's largest Roman Candle, built by the lowest bidder."
  6. ...when this happened, 23 years ago today? Winter quarter of my sophomore year at VA Tech. I had just returned to my apartment after taking a Mechanics of Deformable Bodies midterm, and my neighbor across the hall banged on my door to tell me he just saw it on the news. We ran back into his apartment and watched the coverage for the next few hours, then drank beers in the stairwell and talked to all the other apartment residents about it as they came home. Surreal...

    My sources tell me that even in the mid-18th century, 35 years of age was still a rather young age to expire. Unless you were hacking out a living on the North American frontier...
  8. Where were ya, Skeezix? Vietnam? Laos? What were you doing there? I'm curious...
  9. Too much to read. Where's the pics?

    Ludwig had issues, to be sure. And Wolfgang was a party-boi, yes. But we're talking about the cinemagraphic merits of these films, not the lifestyles or peccadillos of their subjects, are we not?

    That was a fucking cool laugh! My VCR of Amadeus sits in my "classics to watch over again" drawer, right next to Immortal Beloved.

    253 years old today. Man, what an old fart, for dyin' so young... wiki
  16. Yeah, there is nothing quite so fine as to reach for that water in the dark notice the taste is a bit off and then see a couple flecks of cat litter in the bottom of the glass. ... Could be worse, I watched a guy accidentally take a nice big chug on a beer bottle that was half full of cig butts and spent chew. He promptly puiked his guts out but the rest of us were laughing for hours. Hmmmm,couldn't of been Sobo for he would have sucked the beer out of the butt's and chew before spit them out!! Been there, done that!

    Time to ban knives

    I don't know about that. Take a look at the news from my alma mater. Just 21 months ago another nut case went berserk with a handgun and killed 32 folks, then himself. One of my favorite professors was among the murdered.

    So was it the guy on the left? Or the one on the right?
  19. Grail Knight of the Templar says, "He chose... poorly."
  20. He's going to be very popular with the ladies...
  21. What are you tracking on that matrix? ... not mine. All right then, so WTF is Marc tracking on that matrix?? And if you say it's not Marc's, then the Big Purple Hippo has got some 'splaining to do...
  22. Just what in the hell makes you think this trick will show up on her W-2? well, the fact that national news is carrying the story might be a good reason to go ahead and declare it i imagine the bunny ranch gets a fair amount of tax oversight too! shit, they probably have to do the witholding, no? My understanding is that the Bunny Ranch is just acting as the clearinghouse/venue for this little soiree. Are you suggesting she's going to have to become an employee of the Ranch? In that case, I suppose she will have to file a W-4 and receive a W-2, and will then most definitely be liable for federal taxes. Shit, even if she hired on as a temp (contract) employee, she'd still get a Form 1099. She's gonna get screwed either way you look at it... BTW, since her virginity is a one-time-only thing, who's responsible for her Unemployment Insurance after The Big Night is long past???

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!1 PS: The cursor-dropping-to-the-ads-at-the-bottom-of-the-page thing still happens quite a lot. And that embedded quote function fuck-up is still present and still aggravating.
