So?

PRINE! (and es!)

love this song, thanks for getting it eureka

“So?” ain’t dead, but it ought to be!
Evening Eureka.

ES! What an appropriate song when I was just epu’d in asking about Strom Thurmond and a 15yro Black girl copulating…!

I never thought Prine and Moon would fit in the same post. *g*

any friend of John Prine is a friend of mine….

Old news..’tis true, iirc.

lyrics:

Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm

Some humans ain’t human
Some people ain’t kind
You open up their hearts
And here’s what you’ll find
A few frozen pizzas
Some ice cubes with hair
A broken Popsicle
You don’t want to go there

Some humans ain’t human
Though they walk like we do
They live and they breathe
Just to turn the old screw
They screw you when you’re sleeping
They try to screw you blind
Some humans ain’t human
Some people ain’t kind

You might go to church
And sit down in a pew
Those humans who ain’t human
Could be sittin’ right next to you
They talk about your family
They talk about your clothes
When they don’t know their own ass
From their own elbows

Jealousy and stupidity
Don’t equal harmony
Jealousy and stupidity
Don’t equal harmony

Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm

Have you ever noticed
When you’re feeling really good
There’s always a pigeon
That’ll come shit on your hood

Or you’re feeling your freedom
And the world’s off your back
Some cowboy from Texas
Starts his own war in Iraq

Some humans ain’t human
Some people ain’t kind
They lie through their teeth
With their head up their behind
You open up their hearts
And here’s what you’ll find
Some humans ain’t human
Some people ain’t kind

Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm

He was a true Dixiecrat, I guess…!

Mmmmmm Mmmmmm

He left out the *ss part in that Utube…!

I love John Prine. This is a great song. Thanks, ES.

ok – I’ve finished my Pissed-Off Motion to the court (which I forget how to say in Latin – so it’s just a “Pissed-Off Motion”), so

lemme see what I can find….

I saw him in Phoenix with Iris Dement, it was a great show.

OK, in the stupid stuff try this on:NYT’s

Supplier Under Scrutiny on Aging Arms for Afghans

By C. J. CHIVERS
Published: March 27, 2008

Since 2006, when the insurgency in Afghanistan sharply intensified, the Afghan government has been dependent on American logistics and military support in the war against Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

But to arm the Afghan forces that it hopes will lead this fight, the American military has relied since early last year on a fledgling company led by a 22-year-old man whose vice president was a licensed masseur.

With the award last January of a federal contract worth as much as nearly $300 million, the company, AEY Inc., which operates out of an unmarked office in Miami Beach, became the main supplier of munitions to Afghanistan’s army and police forces.

Since then, the company has provided ammunition that is more than 40 years old and in decomposing packaging, according to an examination of the munitions by The New York Times and interviews with American and Afghan officials. Much of the ammunition comes from the aging stockpiles of the old Communist bloc, including stockpiles that the State Department and NATO have determined to be unreliable and obsolete, and have spent millions of dollars to have destroyed.

That’s a hoot! How do you find all these gems, Suzanne?

Hi everyone…. what’s up?

just between you and me, kpig radio is where i hear a lot of them – shhhhh

hi katymine….

I’m busy being Pissed Off, but everyone else seems to be in a good mood. How you?

All I can do is laugh out loud at that.. We are so screwed.. I almost hope the kid gets away with it since Uncle Sam is dumb enough to give him a shot at it. Maybe the kid is a Moonie.

There is a photo in the article of David M. Packouz, 25, who was AEY’s vice president and if you look under in tiny fine print it says Miami Dade P.D. He is a licensed masseur.

hmmm kind of figured you might…. Elmore has been a kpig radio fan for years and years…

quebecois–REALLY nice photo of the building…….the lines and colors are exceptional, the light perfect to capture them both…….it’s a great one, a keeper, you don’t have to say where it is, but what is it? looks like a mini-arts center, is it?…….i didn’t look at all of them, my dial-up is slow enough normally, but today it’s really
slow……

and jayt–know a few people who were ruined by the ’reveal laws’……most of them were young, had underage girlfriends, with permission of their parents, until parents got mad at teenager or partner and brought charges…..some were barely over 18…..now they’re sex offenders for life for having a girlfriend.

at least they can explain it to prospective bosses for what it is..

but

two others lost in court over allegations from spouses…nasty divorces…..

these two are jammed for life.

please get your ass to a doctor, your body has not been acting right for a while now, time to face it so you can feel better. JMHO and what i would make you do if i were there. yes, i said make.

Your secret’s safe with me. ;)

hahahaha that is an official pd photo – probably taken when he was fingerprinted and background checked to get his city permit to operate – the city i used to work at did that with masseuses and taxi drivers.

Hey Katymine… sorry we have not gotten together. Be done out here Sat… will call.

That song…. NOT ready to make nice….. is listed as most played on my ipod…. it was one I played at window vibration level when I was trying to deal with the cancer diagnosis. Good think the singing was so loud so that no one could hear me singing….

Yea!!

I thought Nick Nolte’s DUI pic caught his best side…! ;-)

OK folks:

I will no longer be a front-poster at FDL and also banning myself from commenting at FDL because of what I said here at an earlier FDL thread…

And then I said this as a follow up…

And also this…about my credentials as a feminist scholar…

But apparently that upset some people. That’s tough…’coz that stereotype about women is well-documented, and FDLers who choose to benighted about this have their heads in the sand. I know things have been tense at FDL lately, but this one goes over the top…

It’s been great being here for some time, but I have to say Sayonara at this point…

Good luck to all of youze…

(I will post this same comment tomorrow at a live thread in the US–I’m in Hong Kong right now, where it’s been a glorious day–it’s 1:44 PM Thursday…)

So long, folks…it’s been real…

I have a rich life beyond FDL…work for the BBC World Service; travel the world for my work; and have great friends all over the globe. OI don’t need this FDL bullshit…

Obama needs a new pastor – I nominate the good Reverend:

Wow. Just finished watching The King of America. Pretty crazy stuff.

I met some moonies in 1972 before I had ever heard of moonies. They were running a coffee house in Kansas City and living in a mansion there. They invited me home to dinner and afterward sang Korean songs and then presented a lecture about Adam and Eve, Satan and I’ve forgotten what else. Fortunately I did not fall under their spell. It was the first time I heard of Rev. Moon, and only later did I hear his followers referred to as moonies.

Call you around noon-ish… that work?

”Poor dmac and her dial-up.. She’s like the little turtle, running behind with a spunky bullhorn..)”

you’re freaky FUNNY eureka~that was quite a visual i got on that one!

don’t forget i’m throwing defunct ammo keyboards, too, at the ones that are on our heels. : )

nite–our pbs snuck jane austen’s emma on at 2am, and it’s raining……..good sleep for sure.

hey suz–do you have the conservative christians song handy? if so, will ya post it for me?
or paul thorn with attitude?

my hands are tied up with the bullhorn and the ammo keyboards. : )

and it’ll take me forever to find it at this turtle rate. : )

OMG…. not one conference call all day….. what will I do with my time?
Sure call away…

i’m still laughing, i think i might change my name to turtle.

conservative christian live

turtle might get ya confused with tuttle

i’m just saying (as my eye doctor told me – suzanne your eyes are old)

The book is very good, well sourced material. John stepped into no area he couldn’t source thoroughly.

Trust me, I’ve certainly heard that once or twice…!

I know you are on dial up.. but this band would be great theme music for ya. *g*

http://www.myspace.com/trampledbyturtles

SPEW!

Thanks for that news, Busted.

OMG…. not one conference call all day

OMG you’re not my wife are you? LOL! Sounds like her day(s).

goddammit, I was already havin’ a shitty night.

As noted below, I left here once, but found myself missing the place and came back.

I most sincerely hope, that after some time and further consideration, you will do the same.

Please – dammit, there are too few sane voices in the world. Yours is most certainly one, and to lose it would, for me, be tragic.

I, ummm, have a little experience in pissing people off. If I were to leave, or be self-banned, or whatever, every place that I’ve pissed somebody off, I’d be living in a cave somewhere, I suppose. Just means that you’re doin’ something right.

Boidun, Enjoy your space in Hong Kong. Blogging takes thick skin..and you should know by now rabid lambs have a tough time with stereotypes, no matter who the messenger may be.

peace

What, that suzanne’s eyes are old?

…scores have fled FDL because of the bullshit that’s been going on here in the past several weeks…punaise, Richmond, and others…TRex was banned, and doesn’t even have FDL on his blogroll…

Wake up people!!! FDL is a tyranny…run by people who have chosen to suppress voices of difference, and the fact the powers that be chose to use a double standard to engage the only FDL front-poster person of color speaks volumes, in spite of the lip service paid to race by those same powers that be…now this is the worst stereotype ever, and I’m really disappointed.

I will spread this info far and wide about FDL…I have the means…Just Google me people…

Lewis Black is on fire tonite… The root of all evil is beer…! ;-)

I’ll drink to that

Elmore would be a little upset if I was your wife…. 707…

WHAT the hell is up with Biodun?

I’m up to my ears in alligators and people are self banning themselves… Biodun… come back soon, I love your writing and insight….

spew.

TDS is starting off pretty good too

…i will never some back to FDL..like Heraclitus, I never swim in the same river twice…*G*…

Eureka, I’ve gone back there a bunch of times.
That was a great selection you gave us that night!

This post could stand to be Dugg some more, in my humble opinion…

There are more than 7 of us here, aren’t there?

excellent point neuro

am i gonna have to put my hands on my hips?

Bio, that’s not accurate, and you know it! You were welcomed and embraced by the Lake! I don’t see why you’re banned as a poster, but, there’s no need to be spiteful towards the Lake… I truly hope you reconsider your intended actions, and, you do visit us in the future, I’ll personally miss your witty repartee…! 8-(

..peace to you too, brother..i have no problem with you…good luck with everything…

I do hope the video, The King of America, circulates far and wide through the tubz.

Biodun, what’s the deal? I have been an FDL’r since this blog had 150 readers a day, and have never seen the animus (well, long term anyhow) that you are speaking of. Clue me in… we don’t get better without knowing the problem, after all we’re not republicans.

Will you check on messages on face book?

present company excepted, of course :)

Well, geez. None of those quotes that Biodun linked offended me in the least, and I don’t think I am too far out of the mainstream here. Whether she returns to FDL or not is entirely her own decision, but I hate to see things like this happen here. It seems so unnecessary. Hers was a voice I appreciated, whether I always agreed with it or not.

Heh, you’re our token Repug, we must maintain some semblance of being ‘Fair and Balanced’…! ;-)

We have to have a token Republican… just so we can call ourselves Fair & Balanced…

am a he…*G*

–people often mistake me for a woman because of my feminist credentials…happens all the time…I could tell some war stories……that’s why all of this is so ironic, truly…

Neuro, Biodun is a male…! *g*

LOL @ 84 & 85

So I googled…

The issues Biodun choose were effective for creating controversy within indymedia. He would accuse people of taking power or control, making decisions in closed doors, of being racist, sexist, or authoritarian. To add extra strength to these righteous denouncements of people or processes in indymedia he used the fact that he is black to cry racism. Many of his alternate fake online personalities are minorities or women. In short he would create dysfunction by questioning issues that people are most concerned about. This makes it really difficult to just kick this person out of the community or discount them because their emails will resonate with people. Not knowing the history or that they are dealing with a disruptive person, many naive people will send supportive emails demanding answers to the questions Biodun raised. The issues actually are things that need to be addressed in the community but Biodun raised these issues not to resolve them but to bring the group in to organizational paralysis.

As SGT Shultz used to say, veddy interesting.

Ummm, ya owe me a Coke… Great minds and all…! 8-)

We have enough to fight about with evil repugs and neocons, let’s not fight amongst ourselves.

Sleep well, everyone.

A.. Oh… like minds think alike….

Alrighty….. the doggie alarm will be going off around 5am… nite all.

Oh my, I didn not know that. I am embarrassed. I apologize to Biodun, if that is the appropriate thing to do. It doesn’t change anything I said.

???? I have no messages on Facebook at the moment…what are you talking about?

for you…

That’s fine. I was merely posting an article I found. Agree or disagree, your choice. I personally enjoy reading Biodun’s stuff, and find him to be an engaging writer.

His words were:

It just seems sort of interesting. In that abstract, I spend-way-too-much-time on blogs kind of way.

and then there’s this—

Steve Saroff, who lives in Missoula, MT, wrote that flame. I sued him successfully at US District Court in 2001 for slander, and won a settlement…it’s well-documented and also on Google if you dig hard enough. I won’t do it for you…I have other important things to do…

Dang.. I almost burned a cake.

Whatever, man. Sorry to see you go. Like I said, I have been hanging around FDL for years and it’s always been a place where people come and go.

Peace.

Cowboy Junkies are fantastic in concert.

is betty crocker considered a country now that corporations have people status?

Not if Joe Wilson has anything to say about it…

Heh, Betty Crocker probably has a bigger operating budget than Niger…!

Be very, very careful.

how could you possibly doubt me?

I’m still a virgin……..

and a good Nite to all.

Loo Hoo, can you shoot me an email at the addy on my blog?

nite neuro

g’nite neuro

Sgt. Schultz didn’t say “Veddy Interesting,” Arte Johnson dressed up as a Nazi on Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In used that schtick.

If you’re going to use pop culture references from the ’60s, either be old enough to remember (as I am) or do your homework.

it sure is difficult to keep up with who is fighting each other.

Though American and Iraqi officials have insisted that the operation was not singling out a particular group, fighting appeared to focus on Mahdi-controlled neighborhoods. In fact, some witnesses said, neighborhoods controlled by rival political groups seemed to be giving government forces safe passage, as if they were helping them to strike at the Mahdi Army

Yet the begining of the article suggests Sadr, not the Mahdi, were who maliki /Americans where fighting in Basra.

From your link:

While Biodun’s actions have been disruptive and caused us problems I do not believe he was paid by anyone. He is by all accounts truly mentally ill and delusional. He has written many publish yourself books in which he attacks indymedia and wraps up people he’s met in long bad cyber romance novels. Often he talks about traveling around the world and being a jet-setting media activist even though it is clear that all his email is written from the same computer lab at the University of Minnesota. What is interesting about whole thing is that the most disruptive acts where not somebody directly attacking the network, but rather somebody who under the guise of well meaning critique was able to drive parts of the network in to near paralysis.

Biodun?

Heh, then your son was another immaculate conception, eh?

*changing subject in a not so subtle manner*

so, did my a’s win in tokyo?

Aloha, neuro!

*sigh* Yes’m, 5-1!

please see my 106…

Yeah, you’re right. It was Arte Johnson… and sometimes he got clobbered by Ruth Buzzi. I have just proved that “I know noth-ink”. LOL!

But I did watch Laugh-In. Goldie Hawn was hot! In that I’d love to take her to church kind-of-way (riiiiight!)

The Hard Way.

i know we all recognize the power of the google but frankly, why don’t we drop the issues biodun raised and get back to our late late nite de-stressing

thanks dood – knew i could count on you

Loo Hoo @ 138:

Please see my 106…

Biodun, I saw your 106, but it doesn’t make any sense to me.

…for one rare moment, I agree with you..even if this ain’t your thread since you tend to get proprietary on threads…am on a warpath here and taking no prisoners…

Jane has said she would ban me from the comments if I go after Mods. I say to her: Bring it on baby…I don’t give a rat’s ass at this point..

I love John Prine. Right after 911 I often thought of his song “Your Flag Decal Won’t Get You Into Heaven Anymore”.

For those who might not be familiar with it here are the lyrics.

While digesting Reader’s Digest
In the back of the dirty book store,
A plastic flag with gum on the back
Fell out on the floor.
Well, I picked it up and I went outside
And stuck it on my window shield,
And if I could find ol’ Betsy Ross,
I’d tell her how good I feel!

Chorus:
But your flag decal won’t get you
Into Heaven any more.
They’re already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don’t like killin’
No matter what the reason’s for,
And your flag decal won’t get you
Into Heaven any more.

Well, I went to the bank this morning
And the cashier he said to me,
“If you join the Christmas club,
We’ll give you ten of them flags for free.”
Well, I didn’t mess around a bit
I took him up on what he said.
And I stuck them stickers all over my car
And one on my wife’s forehead.

Repeat Chorus:

Well, I got my window shield so filled
With flags I couldn’t see.
So, I ran the car upside a curb
And right into a tree.
By the time they got a doctor down
I was already dead.
And I’ll never understand why the man
Standing in the Pearly Gates said…

“But your flag decal won’t get you
Into Heaven any more.
We’re already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don’t like killin’
No matter what the reason’s for,
And your flag decal won’t get you
Into Heaven any more.”

…that’s tough then…can’t hold your hands…sorry…

OK this is my thread (according to Biodun) and I have had enough please mods.

nite CTut.

we’ll do battle again tomorrow – in the meantime, be well.

like I said, bro: I got nothing against you, honest..you’ve always been decent toward me…I mean that…

OK, we’re censoring again…this shit’s gettin’ old…am outta here…

I checked the top of the thread, it is yours ES!

JoFish, YGM.

What a weird evening! Love you Suz, ES, pups!

(((loohoo)))

{{{Loo Hoo}}}

Jayt at 124…thanks for the Joe Cocker link. I like Van Morrison’s version better but Cocker did a good job. It would interesting if we could see them both in that pub singing this beautiful tune together.

I owe you a Coke, Suzanne.

I posted this version of flag decal one fine late late nite.

**surprised Suz didn’t beat me to it***

i think i used it one night in the protest songs

on the house, dood :)

No surprise there!

OT- check this out.

But to arm the Afghan forces that it hopes will lead this fight, the American military has relied since early last year on a fledgling company led by a 22-year-old man whose vice president was a licensed masseur.

With the award last January of a federal contract worth as much as nearly $300 million, the company, AEY Inc., which operates out of an unmarked office in Miami Beach, became the main supplier of munitions to Afghanistan’s army and police forces.

Since then, the company has provided ammunition that is more than 40 years old and in decomposing packaging, according to an examination of the munitions by The New York Times and interviews with American and Afghan officials.

Good night, ES!

az matt at 32 said the picture of him in the nytimes article is a mug shot from when he was arrested for battery

Gosh, does this sound like the Lincoln Group or what…
Hi Loo Hoo!

man that moonie tunes is some weird stuff.

1,794 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Biodun and the Firepup Freedom Fighters:

Don’tchu dare go anywhere Brother Biodun…the folks here at FDL need your voice more than any other we get with any frequency and I, for one, will not be able ta put up with the random shots from fellow peanut gallery residents if yer not around ta keep my compass. Misreading on a bog-comment segment is really very easy if yer blastin’ thru hundreds of comments (done myOWNself don’tcha know) and folks around here are righteously sensitive to stuff like racism and sexism and that ain’t all bad…jest gets a bit tedious so grow yer skin, brother, and don’t leave us out ibn the cold here…this place needs you BIG TIME!

KEEP THE FAITH AND WATCH OUT WHERE YA AIM…WE DON’T SHOOT FRIENDLIES HERE!!

Mr. Diveroli, in a brief telephone interview late last year, denied any wrongdoing. “I know that my company does everything 100 percent on the up and up, and that’s all I’m concerned about,” he said.

He also suggested that his activities should be shielded from public view. “AEY is working on a moderately classified Department of Defense project,” he said. “I really don’t want to talk about the details.”

My favorite part is the “moderately classified”, is that a new level of classified?

Top Secret
Secret
To Be Treated as Top Secret (Cheney’s new one)
Classified
Moderately Classified
Unclassified
Valerie Plame Identity

Is that how it works now?

gonna try to catch a coupla hours before I walk in tomorrow later today and file my “Pissed-Off Motion”

Suz – are you allright? – very nice.

Hi newtonusr! What to do about all of this fuckery. Somehow Congress best get hold of the pursestrings again.

Bushco is stealing us blind. (Except with our eyes wide open). Do not understand…

g’nite jayt -thanks

is why we are working so hard to make some changes in DC

that shit’s gotta stop!

Nite, jayt.

There are other kind of classifieds now used by our president/VP/contractors.

*Classified when I want them classified
*Classified because the truth came out
*Classified to keep me from looking stupid
*Classified to keep my buddy from looking stupid
*Classified just to piss you off

Get real!

oh my. That’s *good*

‘course I’m maybe a bit partial to a Harvard-educated red-head who sings the blues….

ok, now I’m gone.

Bushco is stealing us blind. (Except with our eyes wide open). Do not understand…

It may turn out to be the simplest explanation of the bunch – thieves and liars on the Gooper side, and the Democrats won’t be outdone when it comes to craven, mindless power-seeking.

But that can’t be right. I don’t want to give the Dems credit for having that much on the ball. Truly disappointed in our guys.

More and better Democrats is so true.

How could I have left those out!

Yeah suz, this shit has GOT to stop.

Loo Hoo- check yer mail…

I want a return to the rule of law – when laws applied to everyone – even republicans

Well, it’s 4:15 here, and I’m finally done with this infernal project,so I must tell you all goodnight.
Better days ahead.

Oh the horror!

glad your project is done and you can now sleep rond

now that i think about it – especially the republicans

did everyone get the new firefox update 2.0.0.13?

i got it

Passing for now, ’til you have at it… beta tester.

newton, its just an update, not the new version 3.0…

Yes, but FF3 beta rawks! cant wait for it to be released as final code.

2.0.0.12 was crashing on me once in while when clicking the close window button. 13 seems to fix it.

I should try FF3 again. Was too impatience. Ubuntu caught me be by surprise when they switched out FF2 for FF3 :)

FF3 comes standard on ubuntu 8 now.

whats ubuntu?

Good night (morning), RonD!

A linux distro. Pretty good one too.
http://www.ubuntu.com/

You can download the LiveCd and give it a try :D

is linux that kid who carried the blanket around on the charlie brown cartoons?

In the flight of the heron, it does not stop to ponder the meaning of life, whereas man does.

I author of that quote is on the tip of my tongue. Was one my step father’s favorites.

Firepup Freedom Fighters:

I hope we haven’t sent old Biodun to far back into the cave of his own mind and delusions…I guess I have known about his “problem” for some time but felt he made a contribution here in the way of diversion and I thought we did ‘im some good…the wholesale attacks on this guy downstream were NOT FDL’s finest hour. I hope everyone here takes a step back and listens to the beat of their own heart for a moment (I know I will) before takin’ off again after another poor,lonesome soul dressed up as a dragon.

KEEP THE FAITH BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND AIM CAREFULLY, WE CAN’T AFFORD CAUALTIES FROM FRIENDLY FIRE!!

I just dropped into Discworld Squee mode.

Why didn’t someone TELL me they were adapting The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic into a live action production?

Sean Astin as TwoFlower *gigglesnorts*
David Jason as Rincewind
Tim Curry as Trymon

With no less than Christopher Lee reprising the role he originated in the Soul Music animation years back as DEATH. *happy dance of glee*

Yes, fangirl? Pratchett geek? YOubetcha.

hey alias

I forgot. Here’s the trailer.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=6dm2uT5GDcg

It just ended airing in the UK, both parts. Next project? Going Postal.

and last year’s Hogfather miniseries just made it to DVD stateside.

That helps, had no idea what ur talking about :)

heya suzanne.

A little last minute squee before bed. This was just a total surprise for me. The whole series is priceless and these adaptations are spot on so far. Aside from the nitpick of TwoFlower supposed to be a parody of the little asian tourist type, but i have a feeling Astin will get the feeling right. *grin* Besides, bad american tourists are probably on the level of havoc wreaking by accident that TwoFlower does cause.

At least i can download both parts tonight,and watch ‘em tomorrow on my day off. *grin*

alias, is that a movie? dang, i don’t usually do movies but that looks like its a good one

Sorry dude. ^^;;

I always forget that not everyone is into that satirical series as much as i am. But the whole thing looks a treat. He’s been writing these for 25 years now, and this current miniseries is an adaptation of the very first two books in the series. Basically giving you a road trip from hell/guided tour of the Discworld and all its concepts.

Nite all… gotta go study for my up-coming exam this weekend… :)

lol @ the floating bladder pictures.

The Tourist’s guide to Diskworld in the related.

Good luck!

ok – so I lied – I’m not really asleep…

the wholesale attacks on this guy downstream were NOT FDL’s finest hour.

I didn’t see any attacks emanating from FDL, did you?

Nope. A two part UK miniseries. So roughly 3 hours of viewing all told. They just started doing live action TV productions of these last year.

Up until now? There’s been audiobooks, stage adaptations all over the UK, and animated versions. But no one’s tackled the sheer scope of it in live action until SkyOne took up Hogfather last year.

sheer scope of it in TV adaptations until now, i should say. Pratchett stuffs everything but the kitchen sink into every single one of his books. Even the first two contained an insane amount of injokes. You don’t have to be british to get all of them, but it’s an advantage. *grin*

Are you insane?
“I’m a feminist scholar with credentials–check out my consultant’s profile on my website, and also ask Jane the Hamsher–so I’ve done lotsa research on all this, starting with Freud…who famously asked: “What does a woman want?”–’coz they can’t tell the truth about what they want. (No kidding: this is also well-documented)..trust me on this one, Eureka Springs…*G*”
LOL!! I can’t stop laughing! See ‘ya! Have a great, rich, full life!

Successfully sued?

I thought you withdrew the lawsuit?

hey alias at 236 and 238–

my best friend’s husband, who also is my best friend since high school, and their daughter are HUGE pratchett fans, her admiration and devouring pratchett is one of the reasons she’s an english major at mt. holyoke right now……

he’s great.

Biodun, I sincerely hope you’ll change your mind. This old broad will miss your voice here. Please reconsider…

biodun-i think maybe you’re doing the sin of omission thing……..

i care enough to stick my neck out to say this.

there’s more to this going on than you are saying.that you are leaving out your own culpability of the situation.
i don’t think it’s about the remarks that you referenced.

and i don’t know what it is, but i can say the things that bother me about this.

i like your commenting, i think you are intelligent and interesting, but,

i found some of your ’sexual innuendo’ remarks a little offensive, there are two others that do it, too, but yours were directed at certain people…….i kept thinking, why don’t you just keep it private in email? i guess it’s more fun doing it in an ’ internet alley’.

i also think you liked stirrin’ up the shit……dropping hints of ’trouble at fdl’ and then dropping it, what the hell was that?

i remember being transferred from a department, sexual harrassment by someone else, and i kept my friends there in the department. i didn’t ’cut off’ from them, they didn’t do anything, why would i take it out on them?

your cutting us all off cuz you have a gripe and threatening to harm fdl in any way you can tells me that you don’t really give a shit about any of us or what is the larger picture of what this blog is about.

CHANGING THE POLITICAL PROCESS………and, i’m sorry, but that says loads to me.

THESE are someof the remarks that disturbed me from yesterday. not the ones you referenced.

you were starting a habit of ’i know something you don’t’ since you became a poster, that had no place in a thread. and not very ethical in a position of trust in my book.

and one last thing, you and demi got a beef? keep it the hell outta my monitor.

It’s la maison de la culture Ahuntsic-Cartierville. They built an impressive 400 seat auditorim inside what used to be a Woolworth clone. There are also expositions rooms where visual art is displayed.
