Atomium FTW!

For my money (and it does require lots of it to install), nothing beats a masonry heater. Mark Twain agrees:

It is, after all, Full Frontal Friday.

Many years ago when I was in college, they would project movies on the side of the union building. One time it was Urgh! A Music War, and right in the middle of The Cramps doing Tear It Up, some sort of bible-fellowship/prayer group dressed in their Stepford-finery came out of the union.

Just in time to see a twenty-foot Lux Interior with his leather (maybe they were rubber) pants rolled down to display the top of his George W., grunting and fellating a microphone.

Best looks of horror evar!

@Carl:

LA cigar? Too tragical!

Noen,

I'll see your Ole/Sven jokes and raise you an Eino & Toivo:

Eino, seeing Toivo across the river: "Hey Toivo, what are you doing over there?"
Toivo: "I'm tryin' to get to the other side"
Eino: "But you are on the other side!"

Don't mess with da UP...

Sure, the Terry Jacks version of "Seasons in the Sun" is awful, but the original is sublime:

Oh, and "American Pie" by Don McLean is the worst song ever.

I still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

Thanks be to Ti!

See, I am sure that if they had nice benches in some of these parks, EVER SINGLE BENCH would be staked out and become the permanent living space of some transient.

Aha, but if it's a permanent living space, then that person is no longer a transient!

Is this regulation because the tonsils are a good harbor for bacteria, or...?

Naw, the regulation is there just because the tonsils taste kind of nasty...

Hm. you're only about six or seven months behind everyone else on this one.

Hmm. I had not heard of them. Perhaps you should revisit your definition of "everyone else." Or perhaps you meant to say "everyone who matters."

I don't see the problem. Charlie Manson also uses indoor plumbing. This makes me no less likely to utilize indoor plumbing myself.

A Good Thing is a Good Thing, even if Bad People use it.

I work for a state University in Michigan, and I didn't have to sign a red-baiting bullshit agreement to be hired. If I had, I would likely have signed it knowing full well a "contract" signed under duress with no opportunity for negotiation is hardly binding.

This guy is great! In my head I hear his knowing declamations in the tone of those Sid Davis/Inglewood Police Department videos warning us sternly of the dangers of being "groovy" by doing acid:

#70,

I'm never eating again. Thanks a lot.

Yeah, thanks a lot, Wil. Now I'm out $19 and about the next month or so. At least when my wife isn't plying Lode Runner.

"I can not compare this to LDS, which I have never used. "

You can't compare it Mormons???

Newspapers and TV news exist for one reason only, and that is to sell an audience (us) to the advertisers.

I have to disagree that profit is the only motive behind the appalling media in the U.S. Take a newspaper like the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, owned by right wing nutjob Richard Scaife.
The paper loses money every year, yet Scaife keeps it afloat with his own cash in order to provide a valuable discourse-poisoning service to the powers that be.

Plainfeather (#22): You may also remember him as Dr. Lexus in Idiocracy. His diagnosis of Luke Wilson: "Your shit is retarded and you talk like a fag."

A movie that is almost too true to be funny.

"I disagree. Back when we made mix tapes I never expected something in return."

I think you're right and wrong about this. Although I never expected another mixtape in return, I always expected some sort of commentary or discussion from the recipient of the tape. To accept a tape and never respond to how you liked it or didn't was bad form.

Please always refer to our country as "Lago bricks or toys" and not "Lagos."

This is a war to PRESERVE the western way.

See, you're not paying attention. The Western Way for hundreds of years has been to condemn torture. You are advocating the Terrorist Way. Why do love the Terrorist Way so much?

I have a two-faced kitten. When I'm around, he's all cuddly and adorable. When I go to work he spends all day trashing the place trying to get at the butter.

#31 posted by Kevitivity Author Profile Page, November 18, 2007 2:34 PM CNN gets caught planting Dem debate questions this week - lefties yawn. You people who harp on FOX and give CNN a pass are complete hypocrites.

Nice straw man, Kev. Let me tell you what a real Lefty (TM) thinks:

The false choice of "CNN or Fox" is irrelevant. Do I discern between TASS and Pravda? One boosts the Republicans exclusively while the other sometimes boosts the Republicans and sometimes boosts the fake opposition party to the Republicans.

Liberal bias on any broadcast or cable outlet? Show me the "Noam Chomsky Weekly" show and maybe I'll take you seriously.

I'm not not licking toads...

7, 8, et al.:

Let's say your neighbor hires me to remodel their bathroom. In doing so, I manage to put a tub through their kitchen, soak all the drywall in the house to a moldy mess, and cause the death of their beloved pet/child/begonia/????

Now, you need your bathroom remodeled. Is it impossible to believe I have learned from my mistakes? Do you now trust me with your family's health and safety?
