Always great to have you in town, Guigsy. 'Till next time!

Yo, KevO, you gonna be there for the longhaul (John Prine) tonight? I'll prob. be sleeping through Bill Frisell (not by choice, but by necessity) but it'd be cool to see ya before you're off.

Ok, today I understand Freeker's post (a "Hux, come over and check the basement for a drill, there may be one down there" type thing).

So:

Hux, did you find one in the basement of that place? Borrow Bouche's? Still need one? I'm downtown, but the boys are coming out this way for Bluesfest and could prob. grab mine before they head out.

Hmmmm ... I've heard the basement is spidery and creepy. Isn't that where we've threatened to put people who pass out at parties for the night?

What's up with the basement?

Yeah mon'! It's in Nepean, but we can figure something out. Can prob. find a way to get it to you tommorow.

Wanted to see the New York Dolls (!) and Calexico, and Frisell (heard good things), and though it may be unpopular on this forum, really want to see Alexisonfire. But ....

Snelly & Cox should be there though dude. Do it up!

(might see you there yet)

he also asked the guy if all 4 of us could go into a booth together. he was like "yeah as long as you're not noisy"

When I worked that job (the "adult" industry sustained me, in various ways, from runaway teen to present day upstanding adult), I had a strict one-person-per-booth policy. nobody wants to clean that shit.

There goes my political career. I should sleep.

My occupation field in my profile keeps getting truncated. It's embarassing.

It leads people to believe that I am employed as the "dark solitary eye-nerve watcher of the world". period. full stop. WTF would that mean?? It sounds ridiculous.

Fishing this back up because I just read an interesting article on the study's author:

NYT Gives Prominence To Disgraced Researcher

And a great discussion about same here

[edit to add:]

As well as the Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting Action Alert

Thanks for this, man. 'tis appreciated.

StellaBlue - good call. Clam Crab Cockle Cowrie was one of my picks for the random lyric thread awhile back.

I love Joanna Newsom. Yeah, her voice is grating, but that's part of its charm. Just takes a few listens. The first time feels like sandpaper on the eyes.

And she's lyrically clever, too.

Doesn't look like it's gonna blow over -- at least before the 11 o'clock deadline, anyways.

I'm over at meggo's wearing (dry!) girly shorts. Not loving it, but it feels better than wet jeans, I guess. See everyone at Maverick's? Keller ruled. That was/is one helluva storm.

I'll be the pale dude who looks like he hasn't slept in 2 days. Fackin' excited though!

Agreed. Though I'm not sure what the "Art & Crafts" are all about unless "craft" involves a moveable elbow with a pint glass attached at the arm.

Oh, named after Richard Brautigan! Excellent. Best title ever: "The Abortion: An Historical Romance"

Don't think I can make it to Toronto or Owen Sound for either of those dates, though.

meggo, that pic doesn't do nearly enough to demonstrate how blood-thirsty and hungry for human flesh that animal is.

Beefy Hallie is vicious!

Researchers recruited 101 young adult men

[color:purple]Wow ... 101? Sounds pretty thorough and exhaustive!

[edit:] My mistake. 33, not 101. Given that even the proposed 1 in 10 ratio for homosexuals to heterosexuals is in perpetual dispute, fishing for evidence of bisexuality based on a best-case 1 in 30 for (plugging my nose while I say the next word) "properly" bisexual males seems overly optimistic at best.

(to say nothing of the methods themselves which, beyond the numbers employed in their service, indicate a potential [i won't be so arrogant here as to suggest a certain] misunderstanding of the nature of sexuality itself - ie. fixed, rather than fluid. stable, rather than volatile. measurable, rather than evasive. Is it possible they are hunting something without even knowing what it looks like?)

Guigs, I'll probably be up for that. I'd like to catch the Golden Dogs that day too, but definately wanna check out K-OS and DMST.

Haha, my Slam Man is serving scarecrow duty in maxwebster's garden. Sunshine, if you know anyone in that area who's willing to throw 'im in the car next time they come to Ottawa, you can have him. He sure is punchable!

Hope things turn around for ya soon.

Happy belated, 'dinghy!

I saw him perform with them all night awhile back in his wheelchair. Not sure if he's done repeat appearances since then - I think that was the last time I caught the show.

Lil' Cleo the french-canadian vagabond wunderkitten.

She's pretty funny, kinda bitey, and sometimes jealous of human females who pay too much attention to me.

And moments ago, she almost gave herself a concussion (so maybe Del was right afterall)
