Epic Beard Man
Your blog on Joseph Stack is a travesty, and not really a blog. More like an obit/memorial. If you want people to engage, you've got to write a few paragraphs with topic sentences and support. Ex: "I like Joseph Stack for the following three reasons: He flew a plane into a building, and that's just too f'in cool. He wrote a garbled manifesto about paying taxes. Finally, he flew a plane into a building, and that's just too f'in cool." Then you offer support for each of your theses a/b/c, and a concluding sentence for the paragraph that sums up your research: "In conclusion, Joseph Stack is cool because his homicidal-suicidal choices speak to my deepest clinical manic-depressive ideations and tendencies toward grandiose thinking."— February 22, 2010 7:47 p.m.

What's up with these shorts, Pete? Why not write some real blog entries?— February 22, 2010 2:53 p.m.

re: #26: "There are things man was not meant to see." For a velvet painting of pits playing poker? Nah. But for any of these, I'd paw out good money to see! Pun o' th' Year: "One man's meat is another man's poisson." By Don Bauder— February 22, 2010 2:51 p.m.

Bohemian 'rito with Guac
"A few can’t take it and vanish entirely in a cilantro-scented flash of spontaneous combustion." Sweet. Tastes like $500 to me! Oh, and astronaught, wouldja pass along a hello and a desperate plea for our friends Pike & Adam's return? ;)— February 22, 2010 2:32 p.m.
Touring Tijuana Bathrooms - Everybody's Gotta Go Sometime
re: #5: I no longer remember, Nan. I think things were quite a bit wilder back in the 80s. I can say that my friend met some boys, and wanted to go to an hourly motel to drink with them. I went along reluctantly, but as soon as I got in the room became uneasy, and stumbled back out on the street by myself. I could have been taken advantage of, and the last brain cell I had working saved me. My friend was a cool customer, and probably wasn't going to do anything more than drink a few beers, and see if these guys had any pot on them, but I 'freaked,' as she put it, and ruined everything. She was forced to run after me, and we got on the trolley back to the McDonald's--now around 8pm at night--where my grandmother picked us up, breathing a sigh of relief. I was very sorry, and told her so, but can't imagine the worry we caused her. She had dropped us off there at noon...— February 22, 2010 9:42 a.m.
Touring Tijuana Bathrooms - Everybody's Gotta Go Sometime
CuddleFish, Tijuana has specific areas where you have a concentration of prostitution, alcohol, and pandering to other vices. I am not trying to define Tijuana through its bathrooms (haven't yet finished the article, so not sure if it does, either), or through any other means, (as if I could!), and what I'm describing fits only a portion of Tijuana's activities--those of us commenting here are surely aware of this. If there were a hot zone like this in downtown SD, we'd be telling the stories about it instead. I hope this helps, and that you are not offended, but if you are--write more and enlighten readers. I for one will read and give it great weight.— February 22, 2010 9:36 a.m.
Attachments... a book ...come on by SDaniels and let me know if u want to sort thru this book with me
Oh my god, nan. I posted a long response--I thought--to #10 last night. Looks like it didn't go through somehow. I'll try to regather my thoughts and post tomorrow.--And yes, I did like it ;)— February 21, 2010 3:47 a.m.
Back in the Spotlight
re: #69 gcubed, commenting on comments is sorta what I 'do' to relax. The folk here appreciate my comments for the most part, and I don't troll around looking to be contrary for contrary's sake. It does happen that I'll intervene, and it does happen that I protest some injustice or other and spar with this or that poster. It's all part of the richness of random exchange, in which I find a curious, complex aesthetic at work. It's not squandering one's writing, but spreading it like wildflower seeds in a rough field. Some seeds take, others don't, and the crop is fragile and transient. This is what you can tell the naysayers ;)— February 21, 2010 3:21 a.m.
Which year would you go to if you could travel through time?
Good answer, AG. I'd say pull a Back to the Future style act, where you end up staying at Klara's parents' house as a school friend or something, and influence her life in certain ways like: Get her to smoke, drink, ditch school, and go out late with boys because like, if she doesn't, she isn't cool. Incest is like totally NOT cool. Neither is being a subservient maid, or listening to your elders. ;)— February 21, 2010 1:21 a.m.
