that's great sink, how the hell did you find that? I remember watching that live or whatever. That was in the late 60s I think. Maybe early 70, so funny.
Freedom is a word, comments a form of freedom, when not agreeing simple skip the comment or as you did comment on the comment, chasing away only hides the problems.What the hell am I thinking, must have been the commute home.
Cultural Diversity....hahahaha In October, the government of Singapore, anxious about the city's declining birth rate, began teaching its high school polytechnic students in formal courses on how to flirt. Said Isabel, 18: "My teacher said if a guy looks into my eyes for more than five seconds, it could mean that he is attracted to me, and I stand a chance," according to a March Reuters dispatch. The course includes "love song analysis" and how to chat online. [Reuters, 3-20-08]
Officials in the Shivpuri district of India's Madhya Pradesh state, needing a promising program to slow the country's still-booming birth rate, announced in March that men who volunteer for vasectomies will be rewarded with certificates that speed them through the ordinarily slow line to obtain gun permits. Said an administrator, the loss, through vasectomy, of a "perceived notion of manliness" would be offset "with a bigger symbol of manliness." [Agence France-Presse, 3-18-08]
So in India most men with guns are shooting blanks. Chuck did you read about the group in India draining blood from kidnapped victims and selling the it? Making millions each yr. Also people waking up in baths full of ice with kidneys missing.
When I look in a womans eyes for 5 sec, she calls a cop, or if in the hilltowns she would mace me.
Hey Pod, 34 gals of sweet stuff this year, the best yet, finished boiling Wed night. I used 30 cases of beer while boiling hundred of gals of sap. Makes sense to me. Didn't count how many times I had to got out and whiz.
Local sugar houses say this was the best year in the last twenty yrs.
I'm going to plant beer trees from now on.
gym - used to live near Vermont (actually, the Albany, NY area) and was once taken on a visit to a maple syrup "farmer" by my soon-to-be father-in-law, who claimed he had a friend in the business.
I sat outside the syrupers house in the car, not permitted to go inside. Meantime, my F-I-L, as it later became known, sat with his "friend" on the enclosed porch drinking whatever, neither being allowed into the house while the "friend's" wife did her magic with the boiling thing...she tolerated no one while she did her special thing, including her own hubby.
Is it still that way? Still home-kept secrets re: the maple syrup process?
GYM- Cool! That's a lot of sugar. The conditions couldn't have been better with the snow pack, and the temp oscillations.
Chaz - Your writing is the first I've ever heard of such ritual in making sugar. I think they were just pulling your leg. The most complicated part of sugaring is knowing when to stop.
Gym, 30 cases of beer!! Dude, you need to reach out and ask for help!
Remember Admitting you have a problem is the first step. :)Podman is right Chaz, your dad was having a bit of fun with you methinks? I grew up(age 3 to 17) In Lake Placid NY, and right up the road 1/2 mile was a Maple syrup house that we would go and marvel at no matter how many times we went! :) 1/2 mile in the other direction was John Browns Grave site along with a lot of his clan. We used to marvel at that place no matter how many times we went also? Now that I'm on the subject, there was the sewage treatment plant in another direction from my house, a bit further away, but just as exciting to go and visit??
You guys we're talking about maple syrup and not moonshine right??
Oh, how my poor heart rejoices! Outright Anarchy has , seemingly, returned to Glumbert! As these "comments" have little or nothing to do with the video at hand, I shall address the dilemma of Singaporean Youth. How, I ask you, can a puberty prone male population learn to masturbate properly, when they risk incarceration for running a red light?
As a legal resident of Glunbertania.... i hearby declare today ..... Glumbert crime awareness day and now the news
Like a Paul Simon song: Anthony Raspolic reported a break-in in the wee hours of Jan. 1 in his apartment in Durant, Okla. He told police that he was in bed with his girlfriend, but got up and left the room, and by the time he returned, someone had taken his place. (The man scurried out of the bed, stole Raspolic's wallet and fled in his Ford Explorer.) [KTEN-TV (Denison, Tex.), 1-2-08]In January just after police in Tyler, Texas, took Christopher McCuin, 25, into custody on suspicion of killing and eating parts of his girlfriend (an ear was found on the stove), People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent the sheriff a fax demanding that McCuin receive only a vegetarian diet, suggesting that too much meat-eating had already occurred in the case.

"Look, it is no big deal," Christopher Wilkins told the Fort Worth, Texas, jury trying to decide in March whether to send him to death row or life in prison. "I'm as undecided (about that) as you are." Wilkins even belittled his own lawyers for bringing his family in to beg the jury for mercy: "They (my lawyers) sprung that charade on me," he told the jury. When his lawyers suggested that his murders were not cold-blooded but were the result of drug use, Wilkins said, "I wouldn't put too much weight on that." Before leaving the witness stand, Wilkins complimented the prosecutor ("You're doing a fine job") and added, "I haven't been any good to anybody for the last 20 years, and I won't be for the next 20 or the 20 after that." (The jury chose the death penalty.) [Fort Worth Star-Telegram, 3-12-08]
Retired Wrestler Arrested (AP, Reuters, Pravda, 4/14/08) Buddy "Killer"Austin, world-renowned professional wrestler and dear, dear friend of Gorgeous George, was apprehended today outside of Odessa TX for driving erractically. Further investigation by Sheriff's Deputies found the corpses of the Rock Band Journey placed neatly in the bed of Austin's Ramcharger Truck. Honorary Deputy Fred C. Dobbs was at the scene, and his description follows: "We pulled him over coz he was bobbing and weaving like Joan Kennedy, or Teddy for that matter, then we smelled the ripe petunias. Journey was stacked up like cordwood. Ross Valory, well the dentist finally identified him. We're still tryin to figure which keyboard player he got; press conference on Monday, pronto."
Indecision is perfectly ok. Wondering whether to roll to the left or right in defence of one's offspring is natural. But when one eventually decides, the object of your awful vengeance must be destroyed.
What separates beast and human is the power of reason. The beast does not possess this ability as humans do. Instinct would dictate which direction the defensive maneuver would occur due to direction of the threat. This is why the beast is easily tricked and hunted by humans. History dictates that no matter how large or small the beast may be the human has been able to conquer all. Standing alone at the top of the food chain.
Humans are doubtless clever and cunning. But in a dark clearing, with the moon breaking through the treetops and sleeping, a human will suffer from my awful attack, tearing, ripping and slicing through his flesh and bones, ramming my nose up his helpless rectum and eating him from the inside out.
Humans also possess the ability to manipulate the thought processes of many beasts. A sleeping human would be stirred by the alerts from a trained canine. Hence the honeybadger would be defenceless against the broad surface of a coleman stove. Honeybadgers are not suitable for human consumption because of their habitual need to enter rectal passages.
reading about the mason who put Ortiz's jersey under the conceret at the NEW yank's home. Must have been a catholic, like having the bones of a saint at the attar. I was told he acually buried all nine starters jerseys and only told of one.
Hank wasn't happy,LOL
I am not a baseball fan and have only seen various clips about Yankee stadium on the news. I believe the old stadium is being demolished, right, why is that? Is the new one being built in its place? When the Tigers stopped playing at Michigan and Trumbull the old stadium remained and was used for various events like concerts and charity games. The stadium was considered a landmark by many and many fought to keep it there. Is the same thing happening to the old Yanks field?
New stadium is to open 2009, that will give the yankees more seats &more money to BUY more players. I have no idea what will happen to the old stadium, they should bldg some public housing, the new has taken some other housing during construction.
In this day and age more effort should be exerted to preserve places of historical significance. Imagine if the Colosseum was destroyed once the Romans were finished with it.
gym - doesn't much sound like the Fenway Park deal, does it? There have been plans to abandon that historic ball park for years and years. Remember the plan to build a stadium just off the southeast expressway? I think that one must have been back in the 70's, but not at all sure. Then there was another plan to build in Foxboro, near the football stadium....that went nowhere. Then more recently ( 5 years ago maybe?) another plan to build in Boston, complete with a new green monster.
But always, and in the end, it seemed like the notion of leaving our gorgeous little bandbox just did not gain traction. Instead, John Henry and Red Sox leadership embarked on a major upgrading process to the very original Fenway Park that has expanded capacity, improved services, and made the place a wonderfully attractive landmark, and one of the last remaining nostalgic remnants left of an earlier, more altruistic, baseball era.
Cheers for us here in Red Sox nation. Kudos to the Red Sox leadership.
Of course, the downside is that the cost of attendance is the highest in professional baseball (or second highest...can't recall). But watching the game on TV doesn't cost anything....and you gotta love this true "original".
Now....if only we can repeat last year......GO SOX.
