Where do you take out-of-town guests?
Those carts are rented down the street from us. They look perty dinky, flimsy, and I don't know if the eye-pounding yellow color is going to make a difference when you are at least a foot shorter than the rest of the traffic. Taking one of them on the freeway? You have GOT to be kidding. I fear for them just seeing them tool around the surface streets...— February 1, 2010 4:46 p.m.

Guns, Germs, and Steel
Yeah--so seriously, shizzy! C'mon and hang with us here! Agree on the Diamond, not so much on the Sinclair Lewis, but to each his own; haven't read Kozol but have taught in NYC, no opinion on gossip about Tsing-Loh, but prefer Harper's over Atlantic, love the New Yawker, and only heard about James Frey on snippets of Oprah aired on CNN. Whew!— February 1, 2010 4:22 p.m.
Sometimes, You Can Go Home Again
Well done, Steve. Coudn't find on google the case of your murderered "girlfriend." Was it the 1960s? Anyway, not hard to understand how that must have traumatized you! I understand the wierdness of how childhood memories exist alongside more contemporary ones; it is one of the reasons I have called myself a "ghost" in my first blog here. It is as though your former self, yourself as a child, is still haunting the places you knew growing up, and still see, because you have returned to live in your hometown. This phenom seems to stem from a sense that one is constantly stepping back into a past we are not supposed to inhabit so blatantly...— February 1, 2010 2:34 p.m.
Recover the flame
I will refrain from an extremely inappropriate Kojak joke. No, I got yer point ;) But razors? Shiver. Talk about lasting pain--and itch! I'll go with wax, thanks. Viva la Brasil!— February 1, 2010 12:34 p.m.
Cox Cable Touting Free HD In Radio Ads
"I call it Sux a Cox" Pete, you have correctly identified Cox's marketing strategy, too. "The Cox Line:" One of their early commercials featured a young woman just moving into a new apartment, on the phone listening to what appears to be a guy whispering sexy things into her ear--it's the "Cox Line," get it? She's like "Oooooh, and I get digital phone, too? Ooooh." (Wish I could remember the exact dialogue--)Hilarimouse that they were touting the "Cox Combo," which made me think of cox combs, more sexualized symbolic stuff.— February 1, 2010 12:25 p.m.
Recover the flame
"Sans the waxing" part, they don't get to see that!" Your girlfriends might appreciate it around the pool or at the beach, Granty. I remember back in the 70s when I was a kid, and the 80s, when a lot of women were running around with curlies peaking out from their suit bottoms, squeaking, "Hi! I'm a natural woman!" I mean, these ladies were really sporting half hatted toupees! The 70s and the 80s are gone, and all are now shelling out the shekels to the inevitable poor diminutive woman who tapes and rips unmercifully! My solution? 50s style short skirt overlay on the front of the suit, a la Marilyn ;)— February 1, 2010 12:18 p.m.
Tundra # 3
Are you telling me that Mushroom shredded poor Tundra's ears in that brawl?! I look forward to pics of the other players in this drama--and now it might get interspecies, what with Sam and Maynard! Yes, Tundra's eyes look momentarily blinded by the sun or camera or both, but his stance is a very firm plant--could be arrogance. Love the "Keep off the Grass" sign, as they both saunter out. ;) Keep us posted, quilly!— February 1, 2010 8:38 a.m.

Where do you take out-of-town guests? Certainly not on a tour of myself! I don't know what YOU think you've heard! Re: Pete's birthday: Happy Birthday, you miserable waste of subatomic particles! ;)— February 1, 2010 4:20 a.m.
