I wonder if Sondheim would be interested in the theatrical rights.

Bless his heart, poor Newt's book tour certainly got out of hand, didn't it.

I take it there's some arcane technical reason a qiuck precautionary edit of your Facebook page wouldn't serve to cover your tracks. (If you're too far gone to spot what needs removing, things probable aren't gonna work out anyway.) Alternatively, if there's too many cherished memories stashed there to lose... What about setting up a dummy page stuffed with innocuous postings? Or maybe even some innocent musings about how you've dreamed of finding a position as a (flunky at desired employer's business) since the age of nine? Problem solved. (you may now applause)

"...the adored religious teacher and master of mahamudra Buddhism, Drukpa Kunley, colloquially known as “The Divine Madman” or “The Saint of 5,000 Women.” Born in the year of the wood-pig, in the eighth cycle, or as Westerners prefer – 1455, Kunley pioneered an unorthodox branch of Buddhism based on enlightening the common folk, mostly women. He also offered blessings in the form of sex. Kunley traveled through Tibet and Bhutan, urging followers to reject the hypocrisy and greed of the world and to lead honest and spiritual lives. He spent his days singing and drinking with the ladies and deflowering virgins. His sexual escapades are legendary..." And here I was thinking deep South Baptists invented tent preaching. Thanks for enlightening me, lookin.

Hmmm...I don't think it's so many at one time, lookin. Studying the details and timeline, it appears to be a spyder working its way through the site at about 3 profiles per minute. Denser files seem to take it as much as 2 minutes. Just a guess from a totally uninformed layman.

Endless curiosity about what the folks around us are up to is built into our DNA, RA1. Whether it's on Facebook or sitting around the campfire, 10% of the conversation is about tomorrow's hunt and 90% is about whether Mike is fucking Joe's wife. It took me 40 years to learn to type on a full sized keyboard. On a cell phone? Forgetaboutit.

LOL, I bet lookin will be surprised to see I foresaw him posting to this thread! ---- Awww...you beat me to it.

YAY!! I'm NUMBER ONE, I'm NUMBER ONE!!! I haven't the foggiest. Still it is kind of weird to see Tomcal checking the community list and lookin posting to my new thread. Almost feels like I'm a peeping tom crouching under someone's bedroom window. This is starting to creep me out, lol.

Maybe the Rev. Phelps is looking for new targets to picket? He might have his whole congregation scoping us out.

Well, if one of the goals is to drive more traffic, I found the perfect solution buried in a thread on this very site: Variants on that type topic heading posted once a week should work wonders. TY could stash the new topics down in the Sandbox, thereby corraling possibly undesirable new visitors from the outset and simultaneously breathing new life into a moribund forum.

Lurker, you go boy! If I had ticket in hand for a week in Brazil, I would be the front-runner in Oz's posting contest. Hell, I'd probably have three or four threads going, each dedicated to a different aspect of the trip.

Compared to football, basketball is soft. Yes it's brutal; and yes, it's about the money. Most of these guys are making in a year more than they would make in a lifetime doing anything else. And few are on guaranteed multiyear contracts. For them it's perform right now or go sell used cars somewhere. Bye, it's been nice, next man up. That said, the best athletes in America play pro sports. Maybe once a quarter, someone does something extraordinary and, not every game, but every once in a while, someone does something so superbly athletic it takes your breath away. And that's why I watch pro sports. And put up with all the crap along the way. It's for those moments when does something that is so compelling I remember it for more than a minute or two.

For whatever reason, Harden took it on himself to run up and crowd Artest after the play was over & while Artest was celebrating a diifficult play. He got a particularly enthusiastic "get off me" elbow from Artest. SOP in the NBA if the play is still going on. Standard penalty (if observed) = technical or flagrant technical Given Artest's reputation, one has to consider the possibility it was Harden's intention to draw just such a foul, grab a couple of easy points with the possible bonus of irritating Artest into sub par play for the rest of the game. Such gamesmanship does go on in the NBA. I doubt Artest intended Harden to wind up with a concussion any more than Harden did. Suspension for some games? Yes but that's because of how it looks on thousands of replays.

After a certain age, pop stars should keep their shirts on while performing. OK, ageism or whatever you want call it. Yada yada yada, I don't care, keep the damned shirt on.

AS, one hopes this means you've given up playing footsie with the Cross meme. ---- And no, Hito, there's no need to reassure me that some of the nicest people you know are Christians. Let's just agree that the meme is a paragon of shape-shifting versatility and let it go at that.

LOL, ok, but you have to wear a bath cap.

Good luck, FourAces. I would miss your blog if you keeled over.

What part is confusing?

So fill the tub with some warm liquid, Hito. Problem solved.

Fred Karger, the only Gay Jewish Republican candidate for president in history (Lincoln wasn't Jewish). http://www.fredkarger.com/

LOL

Well, then unless you're running for president of your local Mormon warren, by all means have a glass of wine when the spirit so moves you.

Ms. has an adopt-a-highway program too. Our highway department puts up roadside signs giving credit to the organizations that volunteer to pick up trash. Is there a sign saying "this section of highway xxx has been adopted by lookin" ? If the Kiwanis Club gets one, I think lookin should too! If not, maybe hito and I should post an online petition to the Cali DOT and get our boy some recognition.

You didn't specify how much you were drinking before nor whether drinking was becoming problematic for you. I suspect your answers to those questions would serve to illuminate the question of whether a few glasses of wine would be advisable.
