Neither post with a penske-esque flair.

Oh, okay. If you're not checking IP addresses or anything like that, that's according to Hoyle and I have no problem with it.

If i'm overruled, so be it, but i thought i would throw this out there.

2!

confidential to fugee: [what my glinda sock said to you]

Doesn't matter. I post using a IP addy scrambler. Boo. Yah.

I can independently confirm that Miss Maine is not Penske. But she is not not penske. Well, actually I'm not 100% on that later assertation.

that is such an oldskool opinion. since penske figured out the time machine I believe he could fool RT on the sock/no sock thing.

notice the hate for these borderline Socks that has sprung up since the mother of all socks, ty@50 showed up?

it's like how the water wheel got really disrespected about a day after Hoover Dam started powering the SW.

I thought we gave credit for Penske's death back in the '06 pool. How do we score resurrections here?

This is so sweet! You're asterisking him for copying me on Ravi Shankar? Remind me to create a chipmunk sock in your honor.

The original Penske (OBE) or one of the several later licensees/franchisees/successors?

Gosh folks, there are now more posts about me than posts I've ever made on the FB.

No I'm not a sock. As I said, I don't post much. Thank you Less for sending me your travel link...I'll need it again for your next trip. And my NY resolution is to post a bit more.

Same here. And to get the celebrity deaths kicked off for 2010:

Johnson & Johnson Heiress Casey Johnson Dies

For a different kind of life (and presumably death), radical feminist theologian Mary Daly also just died:

Link.

Daly would like to say: “I urge you to Sin. ... But not against these itty-bitty religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism -- or their secular derivatives, Marxism, Maoism, Freudianism and Jungianism -- which are all derivatives of the big religion of patriarchy. Sin against the infrastructure itself!"
