My lesser fantasy involves a pellet gun and my rooftop.

She'd probably stop screaming if you'd just unchain her from the radiator in the corner of your room. I'm just sayin'.

After all the positive reviews, I'd been saving up for that encounter. Didn't anticipate the corresponding hair trigger effect, sadly. On the positive side, Thurgreed's momma's skin never looked better.

Also, what's their definition of "mean?" Maybe the non-homeless tend to give more money or help there, but the police are aggressive and there aren't as many public shelters.

Because everyone who is homeless is a crack ho or hop-head. But even if they were, you'd still be a sick shit.

For the crazy guitar guys AND the Springsteen groupies (is there any overlap in those two demographics?): New York Guitar festival kicks off with Nebraska

It's a three week festival, and though it's possible to devote three weeks to Springsteen, I think the focus of the festival is a little broader.

ETA:
Quote:

Besides the "Nebraska" tribute, the opening weekend features an eight-hour "Guitar Marathon" on Sunday at the 92nd Street Y, celebrating 450 years of Spanish guitar. Other highlights include tributes to Delta blues legends, live film soundtrack performances and concerts by Bill Frisell, Daniel Lanois and the classical guitarist Stephen Aron.

Not as good. He punches the dog instead, but labs (and especially that particular lab) are kinda dumb and keep coming back for more.

Via A Perfectly Cormulent Blog, there's apparently a flickr archive people's reactions to being exposed to Goatse for the first time.

I agree with Pete that Ron Jeremy shouldn't be surprised by anything anymore.

All safe for work (though wikipedia, as usual, is pretty thorough). Pretty funny too.

I thought the implication was that the marriage would last only 4 years and that the clock started ticking the day after the wedding. But you can also read it as starting (i) once the kid is born or (ii) when breastfeeding ends (boobs shrivelling up). I don't know when the gash goes cold, though. Is that February?

We need further clarification.

Wedding date. Gash was born cold and tends to go through cycles according to past patterns. I am told four years is a little generous and three is a better number. Depends on how many traps are laid by the hot hot cougar sex.

That might be part of it. Another part of it is the politics. Santa Monica is famously the most liberal part of Los Angeles, and IIRC, has more shelters to house homeless, etc.

Malibu is more liberal than SM, but the Malibu fuzz are more prone to chuck coffee mugs at the homeless.

I prefer the latter but in a pinch I'll take the former. Generally, however, those come in the giant category (e.g. Cyclops) and giants appear to be immune to my charms (see, e.g. the 6'11" TM).

OK, but even so. My only point is that SM has made a big thing out of dedicating infrastructure to housing them (though sans coffee cups, apparently, which the homeless can obtain just up the coast).

Wikipedia blurb
  • Santa Monica is known locally for its progressive politics, including policies that address the needs of renters, consumers, and the homeless. Residents of the city are among the largest contributors in the nation to Democratic Party candidates. The city was well known for its strict rent control ordinance, which had been enacted in 1978 and was partially overriden by state law in 1999. Santa Monica is sometimes called the "Homeless Capital of the West" due to the presence of the third largest homeless population in Los Angeles County (after Downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood), a large number of whom are teenaged runaways; satirist Harry Shearer calls it "The home of the homeless."

That was my original point -- that it seemed like SM must be nice to the homeless because the concentration seemed much higher than on the west side or in BH.

I took another listen to see if you had a point. As usual, it's a foul truth you utter. However, your complaints about the quality of Tweedy's voice are somewhat mitigated by your continued appreciation for Neil Young. Besides, the guitar solo on "At Least That's What You Said" on KT is phenomenal. I nominate it for Official Guitar Solo of This Thread.

For someone who fancies himself a timmy, you are certainly quick to throw out 800 years of sushi rules.

The only standard I see in your post is that "sushi grade" fish must be frozen. That is objective, and you wouldn't need be an Itamae to tell if a piece of flesh met the standard. It is, of course, also pure bullshit. WFUM New Hampshire doesn't make sushi rules- Itamae are trained in an 8 years apprenticeship- there are Itamae organizations that decide what fish is "sushi grade." For 2 years all an Itamae apprentice can do is wash pans and make the rice. Do you think they know something you and I don't by the end of the 8 years?

And guess what? You don't make SUSHI! You may take some raw fish and wrap it on instant rice but that's not fucking sushi unless you have trained for 8 years. I don't care if its the tastiest fish in San F. If you go to Tokyo the only job you could get would be at the conveyor belt "fish snack" places. You can't make sushi Atticus, sorry.

Quick question; what brand package rice vinegar flavoring do you use?

I don't mean to take you down a notch, but rules are rules are rules. We're lawyers for god's sakes.
