Beyond your years, wise you are, Youngling. Knew you would, I did, Padwan.

Old Saigon, right down in the middle of Quan 1. Traffic lanes are totally ignored, signals are merely suggestions (and not very well respected at that), everyone has a worn out thumb from mashing the horn button, and a speed limt? WTF is that? And there is ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY NO SUCH THING as right-of-way for a ped. You are all TARGETS! I have this great video that I took while I was chauffered around on the back of a motorscooter by "Mr. Phuc." I swear to Dog we were almost killed at least 7 times in 2 hours. And that's not counting the boat bandits that boarded us when we caught a "ferry" (it was on old rowboat to which some enterprising capitalist had affixed a trolling motor) across the Mekong. Good times...

Sobo, when was the last time you actually had a root beer? In Blacksburg in 1974? Well Brad, if you look at the timestamp on that message, it was right after lunch on a Monday. Now, I can't very well let my employer know I'm drinking on the job on a Monday, can I? They'll think I have instability issues, or maybe something worse. No, I need to wait until at least after 4:00 pm on Wednesdays. That way, I can fool them into thinking I'm normal... sorta...

I'm down with that. Yo.

Okay, lets make it halfway up Lightning Dome, I fully intend to take that tour with you. It's a well-known ritual that one must insert PF's Momentary Lapse of Reason CD into the player upon leaving Meadow Creek CG on the way to the crag. At "slightly over" the posted speed, Signs of Life will get you from the CG to the first view of the Dome, at which point Learning to Fly busts a move out of your woofers and into your being. All is right with the world... :ahhhhhh:

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooh. One day, you and I are going to have a serious disagreement...

Yes, I will, Mistress Archenemy. I'm sure I will, Mistress. Thank you, Mistress. May I have another?

Youch!!!1

Can I get in on that? Even if I have to stand outside the window?

Stuff from The Offspring is another one that takes quite a hit...

Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?

mmmmmmmmmmm. have to google the lyrics. googlebot is searching the database... processing...

something about the promise of a brave new world beneath the clear blue sky.

I was gonna say that I shaved my beard off earlier this spring, but that second comment just blew me away.

I've noticed this, too, in recent times. I think it has more to do with "where's does the money come from" for the particular station. Stations that must appease mainstream advertisers tend to do the bleeping, while indie and college stations let 'er rip. And I agree, I think it's pretty lame. I mean, WTF's virgin ears are they trying to protect, anyway?

any time any where Can I get in on that? Even if I have to stand outside the window?

Could it have been from the Kuran...?? You apparently got lucky and survived, ya infidel.

...and their engineering.

...The aircraft, with tail number MSN 856, was due to be delivered to Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways, "in the coming days," Airbus says. Looks like things might be a little backed up at AUH next week...

Mel, Archie makes the same points that I did upthread ^^ about care-intensiveness and salmonella with regards to the rugrats. The "tiny turtle" to which you refer is the Red-eared Slider, which is the same species of turtle that features so prominently in my diatribe above. If you feed it, it won't stay tiny for long. The big red flags you're seeing is your sister's tortured and angered face for you doing this to her. Unless she's the type to just dump it when the going gets too tough...

Eee-yup.

Jim makes a good point, Mel. Check out the rescue groups. That's where all of our pets come from, except the ones we pick up crawling across the middle of four-lane urban arterials... And regarding the lettuce: "iceberg" lettuce is virtually nutritionless, for both you and your herbivore/omnivore pets. It's basically water trapped in a plant matrix. Better to get "leaf lettuce", like green leaf, red leaf, endive, escarole, etc. Much more nutrition in those types.

Yeah, I thought of that. And hassenfeffer, too. Never could make myself get excited for kitty fritters or puppy chops...
