the stuff that they are learning in shop and home economics (do they still teach that?) will come in extremly helpful once civilization collapses

happy happy happy....

indeed! hope you guys have a great day!

happy 3rd anniversary!!

is lazlo as outspoken in real life?

I just saw this exhibit at the Great Lakes Science Center, here in Cleveland. Honestly, the BEST museum exhibit I think I've ever seen (Well, maybe science-related anyhow). Anyhow, I saw that it is going to Toronto next, and I HIGHLY recommend that as many of you go see it as possible.

It is a FASCINATING look into the human body. Strangely intriguing, if not a bit morbid and disturbing. Honestly. I can't say enough great things about it.

Again, I strongly encourage you guys to check it out...!

woo hoo! niffermouse and i will be there to see it for sure...she's been talking about this for ages.

it's been quite contoversial in europe, lots of folks are morally opposed to displaying dead people in public...but as it's done it's an incredible teaching tool, and well, a way to see people like you've never seen them before. if you've ever wondered what your insides look like, go see this exhibit.

november 12, corey...when's the franti thing? isn't it somewhere around then?

edit to add...greg, if you get shut out in brampton he's playing london and kitchener. the kitchener show is the 28th at centre in the square.

check his tourdates page for more....

Go drunk. Very drunk. Trust me.

oh if i had only had this advice at the time.

we got the 1st call asking us to take a survey about our travel habits...the surveyor was obviously having trouble reading from the script, and once she told me that she wasn't paid unless the survey was completed, i went along.

the next call came 2 weeks later telling us we had won one of several trips or a big screen tv, would we come for dinner and an information seminar to claim our prize?

the suckers we are, we went.

total timeshare. in fact, worse...their schtick was that you could buy "points" (a $15 000 membership) and travel at five star resorts for the price of the holiday inn. they gave us to a guy after dinner who tried to sell us on this thing. we refused. another greezier guy came over and tried a smaller package slightly cheaper. still we refused. meantime salespeople were running to the front of the room ringing the big bell and announcing that mr and mrs x just signed up and will be going to (insert fabulous destination here). when they finally ran out of greezy sales guys to sic on us, we were led into an anteroom and told to choose a prize from the bin...4 nights in orlando florida (accommodation only) which we never claimed as once we worked out all the blackout peroids there were 10 days in august when it was actually valid.

meh.

it was good for a laugh, and a valuable lesson about telemarketers

good luck, greg. the box office keeps kind of loopy hours, you may have a challenge getting through. but having said that, loopy hours may have prevented the thing from selling out.

post again if you score tickets, maybe we can finally meet in real life!

Looking forward to this one,sweet.

excellent. we have tickets to see him at a small soft seater theatre in brampton in november, no doubt as part of the "speechless" tour.

Why did I not hear about this? I assume its sold out now. The rock I appear to be living under must be larger then I originally thought...

hey greg, there might still be tickets left.

venue contact:

Brampton Heritage Theatre

905-874-2844

86 Main Street North,

Brampton, ON L6V 1N7

give them a call...and again, so you don't feel bad about living under a rock, we found out about it from our pokey little local paper. i haven't seen it advertised anywhere else...

hope you can get tickets!!

thank you lazlo

not sure.

bouche? any idea?

excellent. we have tickets to see him at a small soft seater theatre in brampton in november, no doubt as part of the "speechless" tour.

only 17 more days until the disc is released!

Here it is again

Halliburton Link

from what i understand, the ads are "context sensitive." so halliburton is in google's stable of advertisers, and when the keyword "cheney" turns up on the page enough times, the halliburton ad is put in the game.

aaaahh, the ironies of the InterWeb

this whole episode is very telling about the BushCo attitude toward the rights of others. the idea that people can be arrested without charge and given an indefinitely long "cuban vacation" goes against the whole premise of "innocent until proven guilty."

"You can't just say we have a right to arrest and detain people as enemy combatants because they look like al Qaeda."

this just in, the CTMF late night/early morning techno dance party lives across the street from Guigsy!

so this was one of my favourite threads, but a quick search turned up nothing...so hamiton, how is it going? have you found satisfying work?

emily gets really mad when you tell her to "fuck herself and put your supervisor on." she acts confused and then starts again...

worst.

idea.

ever.

basically spot on.

mayor nagin, interviewed on the radio last week, talked a lot about the underlying social crisis that was already raging when the storm hit. the gulf coast is a major ingress point for drugs, and the mayor fully acknowledges the ongoing drug problem in new orleans...not to mention inadequate social services for the poor, or the evacuation plan that basically ignored the poorest crescent city residents.

the mayor has been harping at the federal government to get a handle on the endless tide of cocaine flowing in to his city, and when asked why things went as badly as they did, basically said that the folks left behind were either bitter because they knew that they had been marginalized already or they were jonesing. in either case you have a lot of very angry armed people in beyond 3rd world conditions.

wouldn't you be mad?

the bigger unreported story is the winnowing away of the mechanisms that are there to help people after this sort of thing...decaying levees, army corps of engineers flood control budgets cut...the fact that FEMA was rooled into the Department of Homeland Security encapsulates the siuation.

as Esau said in another thread,

thanks greg, i've been looking for new desktop wallpaper

yay! glad you're working, and hope that those cheap ass students come across and tip you well

Excellent! A Dead 40th Anniversary tour without Phil Lesh! Makes sense to me!

[color:purple]Excellent! A Dead 40th Anniversary tour without Phil Lesh! Makes sense to me!
