OK, I'll dummy up. If he wants my advice he knows how to find me.

Much credit to the original material. Would it be an intrusion to ask where you found it?

Lost version of The Importance of Being Earnestine opens to mixed reviews A retitled and recast production goes on to great success

No doubt he would be gratified to know how many here are ready with free advice and suggestions for making him a better member of society. Perhaps we could form a Dutch Uncle Lecture League to help keep him on the straight and narrow. Step on it!! It's those D.U.L.L. guys again!

If you're looking to float any deposits, I'm happy to plunk down a little something into the pot. Let me know if a sinking fund or a lump sum would better keep you flush.

Your place! My dad's a cop and he's been in a bad mood. Plus mom's got her church ladies over tonight.

I think (at least I hope) you mean these comments for MsGuy. Trying to draw me into an informed sports conversation is kind of like asking a resident of Pompeii to offer a few humorous remarks on the subject of lava. (not one of my analogies, alas, rather an old Tom Lehrer wheeze)

Really! Especially bi. That's barely sliding one foot out the door. I bet in another year or two it won't count unless you swear you're a pig bottom who's into cross-dressing and hot wax facials.

Folk singer, activist Pete Seeger dies in NY Like so many folks, my political awareness dawned with a Pete Seeger tune in the background. He dropped out as a Harvard sociology major in 1938 after hearing his professor say ''Don't think that you can change the world. The only thing you can do is study it." With his banjo and message of hope he set about proving his prof wrong for the next seventy-five years. Will we ever see his like again?

It's uninteresting and boring and full of stereotypes and stuff we've seen before and disappointing and completely insular to the point of alienation and its mother wears combat boots! (This is a TV show we're talking about, right?)

Perhaps you should start dating.

I've been meaning to get myself to a Palm Springs Weekend for years but the stars haven't aligned. One of these days I'd like to go mostly to meet some of the posters I've long enjoyed. Lucky's always a treat, and Charlie I know I'd love chatting with, and Oliver sounds like one of the nicest folks on Earth. Probably couldn't swing a weekend with an escort, so it would be more for the general socializing and hanging out by the pool. And Palm Springs itself is a pretty nice place. At least it was when I was there in the seventies and eighties. Plus now they've got Marilyn! The ultimate souvenir would be a few shots of some of the BoyToy posters looking up her dress.

Forty minutes and fifty petaflops later, Yoshi models the world's first brain fart

Thought sure we'd see a Skin Flute here but the Sprinkle Organ will do just fine.

Perhaps because I should have said right-click rather than left-click. A thousand pardons! MsGuy kindly fixed this one, but try the right-click trick the next time a picture fails to appear. On a Mac anyway, it's been kind of the Swiss Army knife for bad images. (Other than my own, more's the pity. )

If you left-click on the box where the image should be, you should be able to open the image in a new window. Why it works that way is beyond me, but it's definitely worth doing.

I said he's an ass wipe, not a Glass Wipe!

"The more time you give this process, the bigger the rough diamond starts to grow," Willy says. After the new diamond cools off, the crystal is ground and cut to shape, and sometimes engraved with a laser. Sounds a little too much like life.

I've long wondered when high quality CGI would become cheap enough to be used in porn, allowing any fantasies imaginable to be rendered realistically and without any actors being put in harm's way. Of course, there are laws restricting some content from being created even digitally. (wide opening here for AdamSmith - oops, I mean opportunity for input - oh, never mind, he'll shove his oar in somehow ) For example, there are age-related laws for drawings and computer images, so I guess there could be laws written to prevent condom-free imagery even if no humans are at risk or even involved. I've often imagined Tom-of-Finland-type characters, portrayed realistically and in color and 3D, creating any fantasy scene we can think of. Wonder how long till we see it?

Saw it last week. Although it's a three hour movie, it's very fast paced and seemed like only two hours and forty-five minutes.

I let slip a little moue, rather than a severe frown, when I saw the Elgin Marbles. Like the King Tut burial treasures, it would be so much more moving to see them in place where they came from. Of course, they may have been ruined had they stayed where they were. And not as many folks would have seen them. But I can understand those who want to see them back at the Parthenon.

Sounds like she's in the zone. Here's a little history on how the brand came to be and here's a bit on Kraft's efforts to market it as cheese. A bookend to Sir Henry's wheeze: 'Frankly, once I've eaten a thing, I don't expect to see it again.

Well, you could always get some milk, water, milkfat, whey, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, salt, calcium phosphate, lactic acid, sorbic acid, sodium alginate, sodium citrate, enzymes, apocarotenal, annatto, and cheese culture and make your own.

I expect he has some rich neighbors with pull. Wouldn't surprise me to see him move one day soon, perhaps somewhere he'd fit in better.

Hito wonders if the consommé could use another splash of sherry
