I was busy looking at the snack. (Excuses, excuses.) Thinking to myself, hey, T-Betsy accommodates my new lifestyle.

Well, aren’t we a feisty bunch for a school night?

I’m finishing laundry, and dreading tomorrow. It’s that damn “work sucks” and “I have bills to pay” conundrum.

so, pups, i want ya’ll to be using your company behavior while i’m gone - The Lurking Mod will be watching over ya while i am gone and i don’t wanna hear a bad report when i get back.

Somebody mentioned the other day that perhaps we should pay $10.00 to FDL for the Zed. I think that’s a good idea, so long as there’s no real enforcement. Just a handshake type thing, and the player would have to write ZED.

TSF — he promoted it on his show Friday night. Might just be a time-zone thing.

When I first moved to Alaska in 1976, the Sunday football game on TV was the Monday night game from the week before. They flew the video tape up here. Same way, they flew the 11:00 news from Seattle up to play the next day at 6:00 pm. There would be a little scrawl under it which said, “Not current in this time zone.” To old-timers here (sour-doughs, not cheechakos) the expression, “not current in this time zone” is a way of saying, we don’t get your new-fangled ways. Of course, with the invention of satellites, etc., those days are mostly gone.

Suzanne,
Spent three weeks this summer with old mum and dad and also in-laws. All in 80’s and various dimensions of moving (literally) & memory loss. So hard, and sad, and lots of tears.

KO was on the 1/2 time report, giving out a “worst person in the NFL” award to the Jets fans who booed a player for leaving a game due to injury.

Wait, when did Ted Stevens’ wife die? And how can he blame Mike Gravel?

i found this:

In conversations with Alaska locals, I’ve heard that the legend of Stevens’ temper dates back to the death of his wife in 1978 when the couple’s plane crashed landing at the Anchorage airport. TNR fleshes out how Stevens’ first response to the tragic incident was to lash out at Sen. Mike Gravel (D-AK), grumbling that if it weren’t for Gravel, he and his wife wouldn’t have needed to rush to a meeting over a piece of legislation Gravel was trying to block.

His accusation became more specific in what a former Senate aide who was present calls “one of the most horrifying moments in the modern Senate.” According to the aide (the story was also chronicled by The Washington Post at the time), Stevens hobbled into a Senate committee hearing a couple of months later on crutches and in bandages. With Gravel present, Stevens raised the topic of his reason for flying that fateful day. “I don’t want to get personal about it,” he told the stunned audience, “but I think if that bill had passed, I might have a wife sitting at home when I get home tonight, too.”

that was last nite’s late late nite, ct - you missed it.

from an “ask the movie reviewer” column in the Sunday pink section of the SF Chronicle:

Dear Mick LaSalle: In your article on coolness, you teased and didn’t deliver. Who isn’t cool? C’mon, man. Cool guys like me really need to know.

Paul Domeier, Coarsegold (Madera County)

Dear Paul Domeier: The whole cool thing is a continuum, but to define the extremes on both ends, I’d say on one side you have Cary Grant and on the other you have Karl Rove. Grant is particularly interesting, because if you watch his movies, he invariably looks at people with fascination and affection. He seems to really admire everybody, though implicit in his admiration is a thought that goes something like, “I think it’s wonderful how well you’re doing, considering you’re going through life laboring under the burden of not being Cary Grant. If I weren’t Cary Grant, I bet I wouldn’t be doing nearly as well as you are. Good for you. You’re terrific.” Rove has the opposite vibe, which goes something like, “Sure, you’re glad you’re not me. I can see it in your face. But I don’t care, because if you get me angry, I can make you even more miserable than I am.” There it is: cool and uncool in a nutshell.

Do not ever play with matches and silly string at the same time. Ever.
