MsGuy: 898 Question: what are Feed Clips &/or AEBN Movies?

LOL

The kids in my home town used to look forward to the fogging machine coming around. We'ed run out and play in the cloud. Not sure if that's a statement about how stupid we were or how bored we were.

Amazing photo. Except for the NatGeo imprimatur, I would think it had been shopped.

Maybe it's too much to hope but will Marsden be a recurring character?

No one ever lost money overestimating my ability to maintain a complete obliviousness to the obvious. I even remember thinking that it was a shame the two of you never posted in the same forum. LOL, I was sure you would be soul mates. I actually considered sending a PM to RA1 suggesting that he check out KMEM on the other site. Either I missed the post or my brain was low on oxygen at the time and failed to store that admission in permanent memory. When I saw the errant signature I immediately checked out RA1's last few posts and, yep, the identity is indeed obvious.

Hahahahahaha...but please don't get that started over here!

KMEM, is that really you?

I watched him speaking about DADT on C-SPAN and was wondering the same thing. He seemed to lose his chain of thought occasionally. Sad.

Bless your heart, you're doing the best you can.

I think I've confessed before that I'm a sucker for flappy eared boy next door types.

Hahahahahaha Been there, done that! I've learned the hard way to check the copyright date before I buy. Oh, and I'm also 62.

"Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, called it impractical. "It's hard enough to get a good compatible match for a transplant like this," he said in a statement. "But you also have to find (a) compatible donor that has this genetic defect, and this defect is only found in 1% of the Caucasian population and 0% of the black population. This is very rare." Further, "The treatment associated with wiping out the immune system "is very hazardous," he said in a telephone interview. "Even if somebody doesn't die from a transplant, there are complications that make it very unpleasant for people to live with," he said, citing graft-versus-host disease, where the infused donor cells attack the body. In a number of cases, the transplant proves fatal." Full article

Ever wonder how a boy named Joe from western Pennsylvania wound up playing quarterback in Tuscaloosa, Alabama? Must have been ole Bear's sweet personality.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

You all (informally y'all) is a heroic Southern attempt to repair the confusion generated by the loss of thou, the second person singular pronoun in English, and it's replacement by the plural form you. It's the Southern equivalent of you guys or, god forbid I should ever hear this usuage again, youse (guys). It ain't never ever singular. All of y'all would be ok though as a way of indicating all without exception. "Kids, all a y'all shut up or I'm gonna get my belt out!" wikipedia

I would wager that any writer that actually uses this word in a piece intended for publication has cum stains on his thesaurus. Or is wildly pretentious. Possibly both. gallimaufry [ˌgælɪˈmɔːfrɪ] n pl -fries a jumble; hotchpotch [from French galimafrée ragout, hash, of unknown origin] First Century Rome played host to a gallimaufry of religions. We have a gallimaufry of posters here at MER.

Thanks for the research, Lucky. The "rape" charge had been bothering me. What's bothering me now is why mainstream media, both domestic and international, can't bring themselves to report the actual charge (didn't use a condom, for God's sake) and continue to characterize the charges as "rape." So there's been an international manhunt for some random guy whose condom broke? Yeah, right. And folks wonder why he doesn't just volentarily return to Sweden to clear up the charges.

Hahahahahahaha! Monsieur le defendant, you must understand it is not about you, it is about Justice!

According to John Gaski and Jeff Sagarin in the Journal of Neuroscience, Psychology and Economics, there is a surprisingly strong relationship between daylight saving time and lower SAT scores. No explanation was offered.

Yes it is and yes he is. I poked around on Google Images for the better part of an hour last night trying to find an appropriate compliment but everything I could come up with seemed weak by comparison. Way to go, lookin.

I'm already thinking of buying myself one of those reader thingie's for X-mas. With technophobes like me starting to cave, bookstores aren't long for this world. I think the thing I'll miss most is wandering around and picking up a book I never would have considered reading, didn't know existed, about something I never imagined I'd be interested in. Somehow an algorithm telling me "people who liked this also liked that" won't be quite the same.

The best thing about MySpace is that it soaked up nearly 600 million bucks of Rupert Murdock's money upfront, who knows how much since then and has yet to make a profit.

If I could somehow recoup all the hours I've squandered reading science fiction, I'd have a decade or so extra to chase cute male carbon based life forms. Oh well, what's done is done. Talk about youth being wasted on the young! I didn't have a clue as to what was important. ---- Edit: Just ran across this interesting article in the NYTimes on the discovery. P.S. I liked your cartoon, JKane.

Close but no cigar. The critter has the ability to substitute arsenic for phosphorus, rather like your own body can substitute strontium for calcium. That it can do this even in its DNA molecules is what has given the biology types conniption fits. DNA was thought to be a no go zone for substitutes. Now a non carbon based life form would be truly alien. I recall there was some speculation several decades back that, under high temperatures and pressures, silicon could perform the role carbon does on Earth. Under those conditions fluorine fills in for oxygen, if I remember right. For the life of me, I can't fill in the blank for what was proposed to fulfill the function of H2O.
