Login HereI can't stop reading Jezebel. I stopped in over there one day like two weeks ago and now I'm completely hooked.
Moe is my favorite, and here's her take on what I took approximately 20 times as many words to say in my previous post:
First Osama, then Britney, and today it was leader of our fearless effort to bring democracy and all it promises to the Middle East General David Petraeus. Hyped performances! Hoped-for comebacks! And in some cases wild shifts in hair care policy. And all it amounted to: one big steaming pile of anticlimax, natch...And today I read that thanks to important industries like fashion that give them places to sink their funds, rich people will continue "saving" the "economy," because in a market economy the "economy" denotes economic indicators that serve to obscure the larger problem that a handful of corporate lawyers, wealth managers, elite reality show contestants, plastic surgeons, Flash designers and sundry plutocrat types are the only ones really getting by without serious liver damage anymore...
Amen!

Hey, Petro!
I told them downstairs … I’m still chuckling at the photo in the Late nite post … brilliant as usual, TRex !!!
Hey, petrocelli! I have a new blog!
althespook @ 2

burnspbesq @ 4
Hey Dood, how was your visit to Toronto ?
Petrocelli - please let the memory of that photo fade. My god, horrors!
diez!
TRex rocks.

emergency dental visit tomorrow and then dentures. then cataract surgery in both eyes. other than that he’s fine, within the limits of being 92 with alzheimers…
Crushes on girls. heh.
althespook @ 6
I read it AK … excellent as always … I also sprinted through all the comments of the last thread … Late Nite is Da Bomb !!!
*yawns and stretches* ‘lo everyone.
Tired, but okay for the most part. I’ve got the usual worries but i’m in one piece.
Hey Petrocelli
aliasofwestgate @ 16
shofar, so are we, as Big Mitch would say.
TRex’s homeboys.
God, is it really 24 years since this came out?
Well I have an early day tomorrow. Short day, which is nice, but an early day.
See y’all tomorrow night.
TJ @ 9
The photo, and TRex’s peerless snark were perfect together … should be in the “Bloggers Hall of Fame”.
g’night Betsy, and as Suz would say — pain free sleep wishes
Petrocelli @ 8
Crazed. Yorkville during the Film Festival is not my idea of fun. And what’s up with those student parades? But I had a fantastic dinner at North 44 on Thursday night.
LoudounLib @ 22
ditto.
Petrocelli @ 21
If I see that in my dreams, it’s your fault!
Night, Betsy.
(sneaking a break from my preparations for tomorrow’s arrival of nana white gloves - taking deep breath)
oh tex, my stars, that collage of cakes and police tape - made me smile big time.
geez, i feel so, so, nekkid without my blue f and my special mod powers
burnspbesq @ 19
Clutch.
Click, cause the images are good.
Now I am going to sleep. Really.
{{{Suz!}}}
althespook @ 13
Bonne chance buddy !
((((( AK & Dad )))))
Wow, I’m watching the hearings replay on cspan2.. Abercrombie brought up Hughes oil deal with the Kurds and how that undermines in every way the Iraqi central government, BetrayUs and Bush are supposedly saying we are over there to support.
Suzanne @ 27
You just missed Betsy. She was looking for you last thread.
Suzanne @ 27
new blog, suz. converting lotsa comments from last night into documented links. I especially like the “bent spear” one.
Hi all! Hi Suz - what a pleasant surprise!
Petrocelli @ 31
Thank you. We’re holding on…
I’ve often wondered whether there is any correlation between the timing of Junya’s various crap and when The Daily Show is on vacation.
Suz, sorry I missed last night’s happenings — when I got home from work I discovered that my toobz were out of service, and I didn’t get them back until late morning
TRex - do you read Cintra Wilson? She’s my girl crush.
Gang, I’m going to bed early tonight. Thanks for coming. Help yourselves to whatever’s in the fridge. Make yourselves at home.
I’m outta here.
Good night.
*smooch*
sweet dreams TRex!
burnspbesq @ 23
Yeah, Yorkville is crazy this time of the year … too bad Sassafraz burned down, it was the most fav spot in Toronto for celebrities.
Did you get to a Timmy’s ?!! *g*
Suzanne @ 27
Hi Suzanne!!
Is it just me or does Ryan Crocker look like Phil Spector with a bad blond hair day?
TRex @ 40
I swear, I took a shower AND used deodorant.
althespook @ 34
Was that Bent Spear or Burning Spear?
I think I am going to hit the hay as well. Been lurking most of the night when I haven’t been wandering off to check on various links provided here. Trex’s Jezebel find is something else.
burnspbesq @ 46
cute.
Hey Suzanne! The Niners are driving for the winning score!
LoudounLib @ 38
My toobZ took a morning off last week. Upended the whole day.
Have. hit. the. wall…good night everyone!
althespook @ 36
That always takes more strength and shows more character, than letting go.
TRex @ 40
g’nite!
Petrocelli @ 42
Had to skip Tim’s this time — didn’t have enough insulin with me.
Dear greatest God of all imagination, if you are “as such”, please create complete peace and harmony amongst all that inhabit this earth, from which we inherently eminate.
Thanks. You know who I am.
AK -
Looks like you got the first post on the new blog up earlier than expected; looking forward to the next installment.
And while I’ve got your ear……you made some comment recently about getting booted up to management. If I’m interpreting “management” correctly as spook talk, all that’s left to be said is, “Understate much?” *g*
Waited up to see if you might be behind closed doors in DC; after Sunday’s Late Late Nite, am badly in need of some nod. Catch up with you guys in the early a.m.
LoudounLib @ 51
G’nite LL !
G’nite TRex !
Petrocelli @ 52
Actually I just hate death. Holding on lets me kick sand in the bastard’s face.
LoudounLib @ 51
Good Night!
Hi Suz!
judas priest (sniffing armpits) I show up and everyone leaves…
Petrocelli @ 1
Dang, somebody left the barn door ajar…!!! *g*
newtonusr @ 49
Remember the days of Montana, Clark, Allen, Craig … ? *sigh* …
(hands on hips) have ya’ll been behaving or am i going to get a report from The Lurking Mod?
Suzanne @ 61
That’s OK Suz, we can’t smell anything now after the load that was delivered today. But the burning of my eyes…
CTuttle @ 62
Hey buddy … I was wonderin’ where you were … *g*
Waccamaw @ 56
Actually it’s corporate management, I’m retired from spookland. I work for a private security company that does net stuff for INTERPOL and the Wah On Terrah (the real one). Can’t provide too many more details. But I used to be the head sysop and had to manage about 100 servers of various kinds scattered around the world from a virtualizer here at my daughter’s home in SA. But we made enough money this year to make me “management”, meaning I get to ride herd on four other sysops closer to the action and only step in when they screw up or get screwed.
I have a lot more free time and have been ordered to spend it blogging. My genius/whack job boss says he has “plans” for my blogs. Ghod help me.
And the DC gig hasn’t happened yet. may never. depends on whether the new guys will let us use their shiny new simulators for the iran nuking scenario. If so, i’ll do it from a secured link at the AFB here. otherewise, i have to go back to Da Basement. Bleah.
Suzanne @ 61
Pet was just exhausting today….the predictability…the boredom…absolutely….tedius…tediummmmmm…zzzzzzzzbut tomorrow, tomorrow, I luv ya tomorrow..blah, blah, blah…
Just a local heads-up - there’s a 9/11 Candlelight Commemoration & Call to Action tomorrow night at the ever-popular Immanuel Presbyterian in LA.
I got a last-minute call to play piano for Tom English, an amazing singer and writer who has some of the wittiest and most twisted anti-war songs I’ve ever heard.

Suzanne @ 61
it’s not you, suz, it’s Teh Momma. White gloves scare people.
Suzanne @ 64
no cannonballs … yet … heh heh heh …
Um, i warn you guys. This is probably the most cracked out thing i’ve ever seen. But it makes me go 707!!! Because you’d never see something so random on tv here. Disney adapts the Power Rangers into something entirely too serious. This? Is just serious random silly.
GoGo Sentai Boukenger (turned later into Operation Overdrive bleagh)
It’s cute, it’s attacking and OMG i go into gigglefits. This
is what they mean by ‘Fear the Cute Ones!’
I’ve been watching this year’s series but this clip never fails to make my laugh my skinny little butt off. XD
Enjoy!
Suzanne @ 64
I wasn’t even here! I don’t know where that silly string came from! Honest!
I think you smell lovely, Suz.
Yes Ma’am… You rang?
ohh hi suzanne
waving sheepishly….ok back to lurking and reading
Alicia @ 77
I’m afraid to get close enough to find out. I’ve heard rumors about Suz having Ninja Hair.
how’s things, Petro?
OOOooooh, al the spook,
glad you’re here to watch my bloggin’ back. Back off, at&t! I got Al the Spook on my team!
;P
Beauty, unfathomable loss and the beginning of the Forever War.
do-si-do @ 70
Amen, he was 100% class all the way !
Suzanne @ 64
Delurked frequently…!!!
althespook @ 80
raise your hand if you’re Sure.
Petrocelli @ 66
Had to cook dinner…!!!
do-si-do @ 82
I wish. That was far too many years ago.
CTuttle @ 85
I think Suzanne’s influence is contagious.
althespook, I am loving yer blogs.
Petrocelli @ 84
A true gentleman.
don’t forget the Rice!
newtonusr @ 71

Jesse Sapolu…!!!
Alicia @ 90
I live to serve the Lake. More are on the way, and if you look on the left below the graphic for Ratiocinations, you’ll find its BlogRoll. All my blogs will be linked there. And you can RSS all of them.
I have NO idea what my boss is up to, but if he’s willing to pay me to do this, i’ll do ‘er…
juslin @ 72
Hiya Juslin, I’m great !
Took a few weeks of well deserved R & R away in a cottage … still getting into the daily routine … how’re you and the family ?

Alicia @ 81
Hiya Sis !
Everything’s great … I can’t for the life of me, understand why Petraus’s testimony is being questioned !!! *g*
CTuttle @ 96
Jesse is the man.
20-17 final.
newtonusr @ 101
Heh, still eight seconds and a review…!!!
newtonusr @ 101
woohoo!

althespook @ 99
Oh. IBM mainframes!
Anyone know the time of Larry Flynt’s press conference? Should have more facts that that farce in the House today.
It’s funny about time and football. The SF Chronicle ran a series this summer about the players from the Championship years and their injuries. When we saw them play, we never imagined they would be old and ailing, none over 55.
punaise @ 104
You young.
punaise @ 104
A lot of Hall of Famers… Sad, they’re still rebuilding since Eddie Bartolo had to cede control…!!!
do-si-do @ 105
Gould and VAX for me.
Suzanne @ 61
I think you smell just swell!
time for me to get to the uncrossed off 1/3rd of my list… have all the goodies ready for making thai chicken with peppers and brocolli over rice, with a nice spinach salad with walnuts. my step-dad (hungarian who escaped from the russians - after being shot and captured fighting the resistance) is a vienna austria trained baker and he has made dessert which they are driving up from palm springs.
not sure if i will be able to pop back in again before friday
