  1. I expect the usual crying hippies to show up, protesting against freedom and capitalism.
  2. It's embarrassing at the time. But DAMN it feels good once it's out.
  3. All that is nice and I guess they feel better now, but what would really fix this is for some Private Eyes to uncover some Joe Paterno style shit at one of Tommy's coaching jobs.
  4. Later as Nero Wolfe he ascended the scale gastronomically. Mrs CC and I have been working through the 2001-2002 Nero Wolfe episodes on Youtube, somehow I was unaware of their existence. Private detective who humiliates lawyers and cops, then eats like a gourmet.
  5. No. The videos in and of themselves are annoying.
  6. 18? Wasn't room for a good Euro-centric XVIII?
  7. Maury Chaykin ran this planet for a while.
  8. And shriek like a chimp every time he raises his eyebrows.
  9. Reminds me of when I heard somebody's great-great-grandad left a Civil War diary, so the dude looked up the dates of the Battle of Gettysburg, and it said something like "Big fight. Lots of rain. Still no shoes."
  10. I gotcha on that. She will stare into your eyes worshipfully, fuck your brains out until you are shooting earwax and toenails out of your dick, and cuddle up with you like a happy puppy wherever you are and whatever you do. Fast forward ten years, cops hand you a restraining order to stay away from your house and all your shit because you attacked her (you yelled about something) and by the way you have been psychically torturing her and trying to weigh her down so you can vampirically drain her creative life force. And it'll turn out that the lawyer she's been fucking is really good at his day job.
  11. Lead Singer Dwight Grubenfluscher of locally-popular Santana cover band "Thor's Rejects."
  12. It's 1890. You've just put your competitors in the Horse Slaughtering and Glue Rendering profession out of business. Your factory pumps black tar-like smoke into the lungs of the widows and orphans who managed to not get kicked out of the tenements you own. But on the bright side, only one youthful employee got his arm ripped off by an exposed belt in your factory this week. That night, the Angel of Future Tragedy visits you, to show you visions. 1. Your precious child, now a full-grown man, blown to shreds driving a volunteer ambulance in the Argonne. 2. Your future grand-daughter, OD-ing in mid-lick of taint of one of her Weather Underground co-travellers. 3. Her son, your great-grandson, bragging about picking Aggy. 4. Finally, a bizarre vision of your great-great-granddaughter, for some reason chained like a Medieval doxy to some sort of ...road block? In a desolate wilderness? Perhaps you'll wake up a changed man. Or maybe you'll just take what would have been someone's trust fund, and start spending it.
  13. Burning Man? More like Wallowing In Mud Man? Amirite Amirite?
  14. When I was 19 I left my home in pseudo-Gone-With-The-Wind Selma, and moved just far north enough in Alabama to border the industrial zones. At that time, when shift change came, factory gates would vomit forth columns of Detroit Iron piloted by clones of Narvel Felts. Those old (40) guys were patient when we whelps invaded their spaces, which we were wise to seldom do. They could and would beat somebody's ass in between beers.
  15. First you get the nekkit pictures. Then you tell them you want them to be relatively liberal.
  16. Back then we figured they'd die in a duel or something respectable.
  17. Yeah, French has "baiser" that means "to kiss" (in the dictionary.) Everywhere else it means "to fuck." I learned this by completing a French composition assignment on what you'd do on a first date. If things were going great you'd probably baiser her several times wherever you were. If not, you'd still probably baiser her on the steps outside her door when you took her home, but it might be without passion like when you baiser your grandmother. I didn't know a red pen contained that much ink.
  18. Back in 2003 I was driving across Mexico and locals would warn me about towns like this.
  19. I have to say that classroom instruction is to language learning what climbing the rope in PE is to love of sports. It will help somebody who is already on fire to learn the language, but for a normal human, it must be tedious. I don't write it off-- two semesters of classroom instruction followed by a summer of small group teaching in a place where they speak it is pretty much awesome for making it stick. But since it's not 1923, it's either part of a bigger combo, or else we are intentionally acquiring a vague school memory.
  20. Still available via non-secure link: http://www.immediategratification.org/i-can-eat-glass
