I seem to recall differently.

Dear heart. It is from an online thing called Hollywood and Swine. Here is another piece from there: O.J. Simpson In Talks To Join Cast of Keeping ‘Up With the Kardashians’ “Naked Gun” star O.J. Simpson has revealed he has begun preliminary talks to join the cast of the E! Entertainment’s hit reality series, “Keeping up With the Kardashians,” if he’s successful in convincing a judge to release him from the Nevada prison where he’s currently serving a 33-year sentence for kidnapping and armed robbery. According to “Keeping Up with The Kardashians” producer, Ryan Seacrest, Simpson is the perfect addition to the show’s cast, since he’s as synonymous to the name Kardashian, as sex tapes and marrying NBA players. O.J. Simpson in his jail cell, watching episodes of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” in preparation for him joining the show. “Robert Kardashian helped get O.J. off for double homicide, just like Kim Kardashian helped Ray J get off in their famous sex tape,” Seacrest told Hollywood & Swine. “But O.J. joining the cast is far from a done deal. He has some major conditions he needs to meet first, like getting released from prison, and more importantly losing weight after he got so fat while behind bars.” E! Executives believe Simpson, who Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Rob called Uncle O.J. while growing up, will help breathe new life into the hit reality series, as it enters its upcoming eighth season. Most of the conflict will come from the fact that Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner is still holding onto her grudge against Simpson, for allegedly murdering her good friend, Nicole Brown Simpson, along with Ron Goldman in 1994. Bruce Jenner is also reportedly holding onto the same grudge against O.J., but no one knows for sure since years of plastic surgery have left the former Olympian’s face devoid of any emotion. “If you thought Kris hated Courtney’s boyfriend Scott Disick, you should see the looks Kris gives me,” Simpson said. “But Kris is a business woman so she’ll get past her history with me for the sake of the show, because even she’ll admit the one thing O.J. Simpson has never been accused of killing is television ratings.” http://hollywoodandswine.com/o-j-simpson-in-talks-to-join-cast-of-keeping-up-with-the-kardashians/

You would also have to hide all the turkey basters. But if we don't do something soon, we can sit back and wait for the viruses to do it for us -- the total H. sapiens biomass now seems too rich a host to pass up. If not some mutation of the emerging MERS virus (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-204_162-57586716/scientists-on-mers-deadly-virus-may-linger-longer-than-once-thought/), then possibly some future variant of Ebola that does not kill quite so quickly, thus allowing time to spread before the host population is wiped out. Or etc., etc. Failing that, of course, collapsing food stocks and water supplies loom. A global population of 1.5 billion to 2 billion people is one commonly cited estimate of what the planet can realistically support, if we want any kind of sustainable life worth living.

Just so!

First the latter, then of course the former. Fortunately retaining none of my schooling, lest I have been a public danger.

Doubtless we all think of that bar scene from time to time when we find ourselves wondering, Why did I come here tonight?

Simply apply enough of our favorite Star Wars character, Lube Thighstroker. (From my and dorm-mates' drunken college parody concept also featuring Princess Labia, Obi-Gyn Kenobi et al. You can imagine what the Death Star was to look like.)

Have you considered...? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymenorrhaphy

He was here on May 29 with a luscious Wet Wednesday post.

An agent provocateur, then? Maybe a reagent? Or possibly a catalyst? (Sorry, at one misguided point in life I was going to be a chemist.)

All this huggermugger of watching, being watched, sending coded messages to your watcher, even knowing when your watcher stops watching you -- I am more convinced than ever that our hitoall is a secret agent.

Thank you for the pointer!

The character names alone make it look worthwhile.

P.S. Actually me too re submarines. This was cool... High-school teen builds one-man submarine for $2,000 By Arion McNicoll for CNN updated 8:53 AM EDT, Wed May 29, 2013 | Filed under: Innovations (CNN) -- The submarine's body may be constructed from drainage pipes and the hatch from a recycled skylight, but according to its 18-year-old inventor, this single-person U-boat can plunge to a depth of 30 feet and has already completed three successful dives. The Nautilus took high school inventor Justin Beckerman just six months and $2,000 to put together -- all while keeping on top of his homework. "He has been building things since he was two years old," says his mother, Jess Beckerman. "If we tried to help him we would just get in the way and mess things up." The submarine has ballast tanks to maintain its depth and equilibrium; air vents that bring oxygen down from the surface; a functioning PA and a range of emergency systems including back-up batteries, a siren, strobe lights, a breathing apparatus and a pump to fight leaks. The vessel can remain submerged for up to two hours and travels beneath the waves at one and a half miles per hour. Beckerman says he is going to use it to "explore the lake, see fish and hopefully find a bit of history, like the cannons from my neighbors' historic house" that, he says, were dumped in the lake during renovations in the 1960s. When he was younger, Beckerman began by making things out of balloons and string, but as the years went by his inventions grew in scale and complexity. At the age of 12, instead of complaining about having to help with the housework, he developed a remote-controlled car that could mop and vacuum. Beckerman's website is a testament to his enormous productivity. It is a menagerie of home-constructed machines including boats, planes, architectural constructions, and prize-winning robots. The materials he uses in his creations are often technological cast-offs from family and friends, or garbage scavenged from electronics recycling facilities. The Nautilus has regulators and pressure gauges from an old restaurant soda fountain that Beckerman found behind a shopping center. The two main batteries are from a child's ride-on toy, and its PA speakers are made from an old car stereo. Beckerman says he decided to build the submarine because "I wanted to see if I could do it. It combined so many different aspects of things that I had worked on in the past." The Nautilus has the most ambitious wiring system Beckerman has installed since he constructed his tree fort -- a veritable forest castle that puts all other tree forts to shame. Armed with more modern conveniences than many proper homes, the fort has a TV, wall-mounted speakers, desktop computer, air conditioning, shelving, and fluorescent lights. "It has everything a house should have," says Beckerman, "except a refrigerator and a bathroom." The Nautilus is not Beckerman's first submarine. In fact, it is his fourth. The previous iteration could dive to five feet, but had a less sturdy frame constructed from plastic containers and duct tape. It was propelled by two motor scooter engines, connected to metal blades and two 12v batteries. The new design improves on previous models in almost every way. "I had an idea of how I wanted to sit. I realized that lying down would make the sub more streamlined -- so the drainage pipes seemed a natural fit," he said. But sacrifices to the original design had to be made along the way. "The ballast tanks were originally going to be air tanks, but they were just too expensive. If I could have learned how to weld I would have made the whole thing out of metal. But that might be for the next one." Asked if there are any particular challenges which are specific to being a young inventor, Beckerman responds plainly: "No. Other than the budget issues and all of my schoolwork and other obligations that get in the way." If he had more time and money Beckerman says he would like to continue to add to the submarine. "I would love to add a robotic claw to the front. I would like to make the sub into a more useful thing with a basket the claw could put stuff into to pick up garbage and clean the bottom of the lake." http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/29/tech/innovation/teenager-justin-beckerman-builds-working-submarine/index.html

Ditto!

LOL. Guess it goes to show why so many of them in stricter times found it prudent to be itinerant.

Well, in Newspeak, it is perfectly labeled as is.

To that extraordinary analysis, one can only reply...

P.S. So sorry! I forgot we already have a forum on the subject of distending our bellies. I got taken by Oz & TY's sly tomfoolery in giving it the oh so innocent and guilt-assuaging name of Health, Nutrition & Fitness.

Good point! ...Depending on the other players, of course. Whereas everybody's money looks good.

Personally I am with you. But then for vegetarians, poor things, one could see making an exception. There is a burger shack in York Beach, Maine, that serves the only really good (1) turkey burgers and (2) veggie burgers that I have ever tasted. Of course they have all the other kinds too, including a great buffalo burger. What is the place called...? Ah, senescence.

Secret Messages Discovered in Donald Trump’s Hair! Is He Trying to Warn Us? By Bruce Handy and Juli Weiner Vanity Fair By M. Spencer Green/A.P. Photo. Moldy baguette Donald Trump was recently photographed outside a federal courthouse in Chicago, where he is currently being sued by an 87-year-old woman. Despite years of Trump-hair connoisseurship, your Vanity Fair follicular correspondents had never seen the thrice-bankrupted businessman’s fuzzy skull growth from such a revealing, harshly-lit angle. What initially appeared to be nothing more than a simple doppelgänger for a cavity-ridden tooth—or perhaps a half-popped popcorn kernel—turned out to be, upon closer inspection and with digital enhancement, something far more ominous. Donald Trump’s hair is trying to tell us something. Thanks to over a decade of analytic training under Dr. Carl Shatner at Columbia’s Andrew Stein School of Toupee and Combover Studies, and a close reading of Erich Von Daniken’s Follicles of the Gods in 8th grade, we were able to identify the crop-circle-like symbols formed by Trump’s scalp growth as Sumerian cuneiform likely dating back to the Neo-Assyrian Empire. After consulting our Rosetta Stone—literally, a Rosetta Stone DVD for Sumerian Cuneiform (Level II) purchased at the Atlanta airport—we were able to translate the hair’s message thusly: “People R begging me—begging me!—to run for Pres in 2016. Especially people close to loser Hillary. Rubio? DUMB! Will have announcement on season premiere of NBC’s top-rated #TheApprentice. @realDonaldTrump” Read more: Donald Trump’s Hair: The 360-Degree Tour. http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2013/05/secret-messages-discovered-in-donald-trump-s-hair-is-he-trying-to-warn-us

RA1 has a point -- what could possibly be more fun than money?
