Oooh, that tickled! Kiss it again!!

Not one of mine, alas. It was nestled among a number of similarly irreverent comments, including: I don't mean to be blunt but this had to be a joint mission.

This shit'll get you to the moon!

That's a boffo bunch of badriddles!

Is that who I think it is?

If nature is any guide, extreme population explosions are always followed by die-offs. Lemmings and certain rat populations periodically breed to enormous levels and then run out of food and croak in large numbers. As far as I know, our species is the first to actually predict that we're going to run out of a necessary resource (in our case, it may be water or air as likely as food) and to consider doing something about it. But I think you and a handful of others are in the vanguard, and most of our seven billion fellows are only dimly aware of the problem, if at all. The snag is that even you pioneers are late to the party. Even if we stopped breeding today, it would still take many decades to bring the population down to a sustainable level, and there's no guarantee that the environmental damage we've done can be reversed in that amount of time. And, of course, we won't stop breeding today. Or tomorrow. And the resources necessary for human life will continue to be depleted. Unless there's a miracle, my guess is that we will not reduce our numbers in a planned fashion, nor will we be able and willing to restrict our resource consumption in time to prevent Mother Nature from stepping in and taking care of it for us. Naturally, I'd love to be proven wrong.

That's a 65% reduction. Makes the Black Death look like a bad cold.

I Feel a Schlong Coming On is the one that heralds his posts for me. Although Judy's version is not too shabby either. In Safari, I use the old-fashioned way of copying the video URL, then sticking it between the VIDEO and /VIDEO html tags. VIDEO and /VIDEO each have to be inside the square brackets, [ and ], with the URL nestled right in between. (If I tried typing the actual syntax, instead of describing it, your browser would most likely just show you the video instead of what I typed.) The bracketed VIDEO tag tells your browser that what comes next, the video's URL, is to be displayed as a video clip. And the bracketed /VIDEO tag tells your browser that it's the end of the URL. Whether that works in all browsers, though, I couldn't say. It's always a surprise to see the lack of standardization among browsers. Of course it's a much greater surprise to see all these bits and bytes turn into anything at all, let alone some of the incredible stuff they stick in our faces every day.

I clicked the link, then clicked 'Forums'. It said Coming soon!

Who does he think I am, Dr. Kildare?

It pays well too.

The ones I'd be going after are the folks who sold his neighbor that stucco. For eighty grand, you'd think it could take a little yolk.

Perhaps five days on BoyToyCam® is not what Hizzonor had in mind.

I believe this is what they refer to in the business as a 'high concept' film.

Frankly, I'd favor fang-free fellatio.

Ooops! Double post! OK then, make that a Very Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!! (now pucker up and blow )

Thanks! He first caught my attention during the 87/88 season of Dallas. He would have been about twenty-five.

And not just space fillers either but informative, funny, clever, thoughtful and some, dare I say, titillating ones too. You've made this Board a better place, AdamSmith, and we are all in your debt! (No doubt Wallace Stevens would have a few thoughts on this singular event and perhaps, with a little encouragement, we'll get to hear a few.)

Can't wait for this. Thanks! One of my favorite Frasier episodes features Derek Jacobi as an unrepentant ham who managed to impress the Crane boys when they were in grade school. Here, to their chagrin, and only after they had booked a theater and sold all the tickets for his return to the stage, they learn how easily impressed they had been:

A malingering purler named May Ate a bad Chimichanga Mole. She both shitted and shat As she knitted and knat, And she hopes to be finished some day.

Tomcal, I hope it's one of those illnesses that our rapid medical advances will overtake very soon. Always love your posts and part of the pleasure was never knowing when one was going to pop up. With luck, it won't be long before we see another. Something tells me that, even in retirement, you will probably be getting a lot more action than most of us. Anything you care to share, I'll be here.

Until that happy day arrives, here's a simulated takeoff just ahead of the end of the world in 2012. They call it an Antonov 500. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWTFVUbaXg0 Come on baby, lift your big ass for Sasha!

I think he's more attractive with the shorter rap sheet.
