... in today's outrage and jump to conclusions society, I enjoyed seeing how that teenage kid thing was overblown. I agreed with the anti-kid sentiments, but I enjoyed all those getting indignant on social media and their indignation was bullshit

I think the kid comes off a bit more sympathetic than at first glance, but, regardless of his carefully crafted explanation, it's hard to see past that smirk on his face anytime I watch the video.

Fuck him.

... It's 3 in the morning, and I'm listening to a program about snail husbandry.

Yeah, I don't think I've seen it since the original run, but I loved that show.

G-ddammit, the "Choo Choo Ch'boogie" comment that I started last night and had nearly finished tonight was disappeared by Chrome when I didn't touch the screen on the tablet in just the right fashion. I wonder whether the "Textarea Cache" extension works in the mobile version of Firefox.

Live.

A greatest hits version, which I presume to be the Decca issue. I don't know how faithful it is, though; rooting out a turntable-video version is more than I can handle tonight. No rest for the often weary and sometimes bedraggled.

There is never a wrong time for Louis Jordan.

This is why Fork was banned from the Bush funeral.

My kids get their presents from Annual Gift Man. Who lives on the moon

When I was 6 we moved to a neighborhood with all older kids (9-12 years old). That was it for me. They're also the reason I started swearing like a South Park kid by 1983.

Fork is...right?

... I can't get enough of the colourblind glasses/cochlear implant videos.  They make me blub.

There are several words in that post that I don't understand.  Are they Australian words?

Too right mate!  Bonzer!  That's not a knife!

Throw a dingo on the barbie?

I had that dream again last night.  You know.  The one where I am back in school and on my way to take a final exam in a course where I never attended a class and never opened the text book, but it didn't matter because I couldn't find the room where the test was being given.  This was a variation.  It was a Wednesday and I was booked to perform a guitar concert on the following Monday.  However, I don't know how to play the guitar and didn't own one.  To make it worse, I had picked out my wardrobe for the event.  Leather bell bottom jeans, a shiny, pointy lapeled, print, polyester shirt, a phony leather vest, and a leather cap that a pimp wore in the 1970s.  What a nightmare!

Relevant xkcd. As far as I can recall, I think I've only had one university dream since I graduated. Maybe I'm less likely to have school dreams, since I'm still in schools every day. I have had a few stress dreams about not being prepared to teach.

One of us (tinu) is an outlier. I have university dreams, work dreams, recurrent dreams where I already know the paths through the weird buildings, and wandering-around-lavatory dreams, which have a pretty obvious meaning but are nonetheless baroque. The less REM sleep the better, in my case. And then there's the issue of trying not to try to forget trying to forget this mental garbage-collection.

Screw the peribracial area and the horse it rode in on.

When I was a kid, my recurring stress dream was that I'd try to cross the street, trip, fall, and be paralyzed as oncoming traffic moved toward me.

Oh, yah, the paralysis dreams. I would also pass out twitching in these. Have I already told the story about what happened after I tried lucid dreaming per Omni magazine?

We'll stick with tonk's lucid dreams, thanks.

How the fuck do you remember this stuff?  Even I'd completely forgotten about that post.

That's practically a Thrillho level pull.

And here I thought I was going to get something related to the Heart Sutra.

It can be, you know.

I'm assuming these are lyrics to songs that this dead guys band sung?

If so, how and why the fuck do you know them?

b/c we're not 400 years old like you you old fuck.

Okay, so they are boy band lyrics.
Then why hasn't Jon quoted any?

Because my gayness doesn't extend to music.

Or to Kenneth Anger, apparently.

The only Hollywood Babylon I'm familiar with is the Misfits song.

"...the Cubs hobbled together nine pitchers..."


I guess that I have seen too many Western movies,  but in my mind I see nine pitchers standing in the bullpen, tied together at the knees.

Like the escaped chain gang in Take the Money and Run.

Oh, I had my hopes up that Jimmy Cliff did a cover of the Baretta theme, but this is a different song with the same name, apparently.

Quote from: Wheezer on November 14, 2018, 02:46:21 PM
I had no idea that the Baretta theme was performed by Sammy Davis, Jr. My imaginary ex's cat is neurotically grooming her fur off, so I suggezted getting a cockatiel. Only now do I realize that the performers were cockatoos.

For a person who is a surprisingly big bible nerd, I was stunned to realize that title is a weird allusion to a gospel hymn.

Also, while it's not my bag, Hard Cider has come a long, long way and I know a lot of people drinking it. 
Worth giving it a shot.

Dry hard cider is actually very good. We have come a long way since the days my ex girlfriend was mainlining Woodchuck Brand Alcoholic Hummingbird Food.
