Not to be all prematurely bah humbug, but it's not even Thanksgiving and every store, mall, etc., here has been decked out in full X-mas regalia for, probably, a month. It seems to my befuddled memory that they at least used to wait until after Turkey Day...it's just too soon. And lest I sound too Scrooge-ish, I love the season, just hate all the commercialization, the frenzy, the irate, pissy crowds...Does X-mas begin so early in the UK? One more thing - grape tomatoes. All the restaurants and salad bars here only have either grape or cherry tomatoes, probably because it's too much effort to slice up regular tomatoes. What's up with that? I HATE shit that squirts in my mouth! (no risque jokes, please) | ||

LK Sad to say its as bad here - Christmas started at least a month go. If I was not looking forward so much to celebrating with a two year old then I'd be quite depressed by it all! Worst of all is that bloody Slade record being played on one of the ads on tv. As for the toms - no problem really with cherry - what I hate is they are always so cold and therefore flavourless. | ||

I had the fortune last Xmas to go into a guitar shop in Birmingam and sit down to try out a Martin guitar, as atreat to myself when Jimbo from Slade sits down next to me and goes: "r, that's a gud un aye it!" and grabs a Martin and there I am, jamming with a Christmas icon playing away! He said he likes to get out of the house away fromthe mrs at Christmas time. Yo ho ho!!! | ||

C'mon Spence! You're pulling it on us this time for sure. I confess I just hate Xmas, full stop. | ||
| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 981 Registered: 05-2005 |
Yes it really happend, I kid you not. I went in I think it was a couple of days before Xmas day. I was trying out some Taylor and Martin guitars, the store guy at PMT (stupid name for a guitar store!) was showing me the various guitars, then I saw him look across the Acosutic dept and he shouted Jimbo! He obviously knows Jim, what annoyed me was he just fu*ked off and left me for Jim! Anyhow, Jim looked over, probably took pity and sat down I passed him a Martin and we jammed for a bit. lovely guy. The thing is around here, whan I was at school, around '81/'82 we used to see Slade rehearse in this shed in Coseley where I used to live, we used to mess around and knock on the window at lunch time, and annoy Noddy! Really, no jest. they used to live around the midlands, in particular what's known as the Black Country, which is where i grew up, between there and Penicuik neear Edinburgh in Scotland (bit if a gap!). Robert Plant was a guy I saw and met many times, he lived near a placecalled Stourbridge. Whan I was at Art School the pub down the road, he used to frequent and I once boughthim and his mates a drink each, half of what they call Mild beer. Really nice fella. The Midlands was used to the heavy rockers, there were loads of heavy rockers (Hope Jeff Tweedy isn't listening!). Black Sabbath came from Birmingham, Iomi was always at the conter settling up rhearsel bills when we were there too! There were fights and scuffles between the rockers and mods after punk. The whole country had a thing oing down. Teds, teddy Boys too. There was renowned skinhead who was a Mod and his name was Neil young, and the rockers from the local town once slagged neil off by spraying on the side of a wall in the centre of town, :Neil Young is a rocker, by teds!", it was the funniest thing, as it was the worst insult you could pay someone who was a Mod! No one who I knew anyway was aware of 'the' neil young by the way! The Mods were into The Small Faces, The Who, Northern Soul, Matha Reeves, The Lambrettas, Specials, Madness etc etc, the Rockers at the time were I seem to remmber fans of groups like Saxon, Led Zep, Maiden, Motorhead etc etc. I remember those times with fondness. I was a Mod. I had a fishtaiol parka, when I was 9/10 my Mum used to put soap in my hear like Sid vicious, that was the crossover for me, half punk half mod. i liked Madness, Specials, the Beat, Selecter and also Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, Pistols, the Stranglers and 999, all ta the tender age of 10 too!!! Sorry gone on. its a world of rockers!! PS Randy your package has beenposted today. There is a surprise in it for you too! LK, no Jim looked very very normal. Shame! | ||

Amazing story, Spence. I wonder if you'd recognize a tenth as many people here in Hollywood. I never recognize anybody but I'm a little retarded in that respect. Very much looking forward to the Trettine CD, thanks Spence. | ||
| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 983 Registered: 05-2005 |
 Randy. I will try to find Caroline's second cd, 10 light years for you. That is amazing. Her first one was good too, but only on vinyl, I will try to digitise soon, it was release on Billy bragg's Utility label. The cd I am sending you came out on my label Oporto last year. I didn'y have an awful lot to do with it apart from mastering. i think Gerard from The Blue Aeroplanes programmed the running order etc. hope you like it anyhow! | ||

People wearing Santa hats...there should be a law that if someone is wearing one, you should be able to walk up to them and demand a present! If they're purporting to be Santee, then they should walk it like they talk it. Someone's gettin' a little cranky... | ||
| Kurt Stephan Member Username: Slothbert Post Number: 1055 Registered: 04-2005 |
I second that, LK. I have a couple of friends who start sporting Santa hats at all social functions in December, and believe me, it takes every ounce of strength not to grab the hats off their heads and force-feed them to these misguided souls. Fashion hint: the line between looking "festive" and "retarded" is fine indeed. | ||

This is like lobbing out a clay pigeon at a shotgun festival, but the whole talking-on-cell-phones-while-you-drive-t he-world's-biggest-car thing is starting to be a problem. Everyone thinks they can chat while they drive, and it's other people who don't pay attention. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I can't tell you how many times I've seen traffic snafus/accidents/almost-accidents caused by some dope with a Bluetooth thingy in his/her ear, chatting away obliviously. C'mon, we all know you've been assimilated. It's time to beam up to the collective, already! | ||

Does this mean I shouldn't be wearing my reindeer antlers when working in the library? They are tasteful and I only do it for the kiddies! | ||
| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 1310 Registered: 03-2006 |
No, reindeer antlers are a very fresh approach, if one must adorn one's head with holiday-themed objects. They haven't been done to death and don't carry with them the implication that you should be handing out presents. And, Aimee Mann's new X-mas CD has a pic of her face sort of framed by them. I think it's a very fetching look! | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 1049 Registered: 05-2005 |
I hate it when people write Xmas. Can't you just write Christmas? The Christian (not Xtian) Brothers taught me that it was disrespectful and it is one of the few non-mainstream educationsl things they taught me that stuck. I'm not accusing people who write it that way of being blasphemous but you are more likely to burn in hell for all eternity. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 1050 Registered: 05-2005 |
Obviously my inability to spell educational above is also the Christian Brothers' fault. | ||
| Kurt Stephan Member Username: Slothbert Post Number: 1056 Registered: 04-2005 |
LK already has his special level in Hell lined up (I think it's a condo), so I'm guessing he isn't too worried about what writing "Xmas" will do to his afterlife status. | ||
| Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 205 Registered: 08-2006 |
Just for the sake of accuracy here, LK's place in Hell is a timeshare. He's splitting it with Frank Rich and Al Franken. | ||

I recently read the last Al Franken book. Very much enjoyed it. | ||
| Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 207 Registered: 08-2006 |
I meant that as a compliment. I'd love a timeshare with Frank Rich and Al Franken You'd probably never sleep, which would be... well, hell. | ||

| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 1311 Registered: 03-2006 |
I can't quit writing Xmas - it's too much fun to type. Plus it has the added benny of getting up the noses of all the, well, Xtians... I would gladly share a condo with those two, though Frank Rich and I would no doubt have heated arguments about theater - I DIDN'T think "Miss Saigon" was so fabulous... Also, can't we get some babes in there? A Maureen Dowd, an Arianna Huffinton...better yet a Rachel Sklar? | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 1056 Registered: 05-2005 |
The only babe you're going to have there with you is Ann Coulter. | ||

Radiation poisoning definitely qualifies as a bummer. And it sure makes you think twice about speaking unkindly about Putin.

Hey, Padraig, I think I need to wave goodbye to you at this point because you've passed me in post count and I'm quite sure I'll never catch up. To make this slightly relevant, my pet peeve is the hideous, uncharacteristic winter weather we're having in Seattle this year. A couple weeks back, we had serious snow and ice; tonight, we have near-hurricane level wind and rain, and flooding and power outtages are more likely than not. Folks, we're not talking stereotypical Seattle gray drizzle here. It's a deluge. Thank goodness for a fully charged laptop and iPod so at least I have entertainment when I lose power this evening... | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 848 Registered: 03-2005 |
Ok, I have a pet peeve. It's this board's refusal to let me post a nice short pithy comment. I tried to post two words: "Climate change" in response to Kurt's message. No go. It's not the first time I've had to jettison something nice and to-the-point for some stereotypical meandering Randy Adamsesque blather. Grrrr. | ||

Lost power down here in Olympia too (60 miles south of Seattle) but it's back on now. It was thrilling...I have a real jones for dramatic weather. Walking through town today was fun, too...saw two trees that came down on houses. | ||

| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 1101 Registered: 05-2005 |
Men who obviously fancy themselves that much that they 'Thank me for supporting them and their (God awful attempt at making music), and attach a posed pic of themselves brandishing their pics and bulging biceps (Move over Billy Ray Cyrus) on my message board on MySPace and of couse the new generation with their fake Old Wave values and pristine guitars, thanking me for the add, and by the way here's a great big fuck*n advert the size of an external billboard poster. Equally, women who have nothing to say, but who have their butt hanging out and millions of tatoos and that seemingly hate everything around them apart from Justin Timberlake and goth music (nice match!). Those were typical instances of my pet peeves this year. Had to get it out of my system, Christmas? Bah humbug! | ||
| Kurt Stephan Member Username: Slothbert Post Number: 1074 Registered: 04-2005 |
Hey Rob, didn't see your reply until today. I was really lucky; I live in a part of Seattle barely affected by the storm. We lost power for about an hour in the middle of the night. I have family about 20 minutes north who were without it for five days, though, and some in the area still don't have it almost a week later. Glad to hear you weren't hit too hard, Allen. I have a coworker who lives in Tacoma who had all the shingles blow off her roof. Of course, our little NW storm was nothing compared to what LK used to see in Louisiana, but our infrastructure sure weren't prepared for it and people suffered as a result. Latest pet peeve: Neil Young live albums. I've decided I need to boycott the Live at the Fillmore set on principle, just because I've given him too much money already for releasing the same songs over and over. | ||

Ann Coulter, the worse sort of trash journalist! I can't stand her, and to make matters worse my local newspaper that I have been subscribing to for a dozen years just added her column! A week doesn't go by without a half dozen letters to the editor about getting rid of /keeping her column. | ||
| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 1480 Registered: 03-2006 |
I hate it when you lay down your hard earned cash to buy a box set by your favorite popular recording artist and it ends up having shoddy packaging. Like when you open up the box and the discs are in little paper sleeves. That shit has got to stop. | ||
| Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 301 Registered: 08-2006 |
LK: I assume you mean, "any box set released by Sony." The "Born to Run" 30th anniversary set, for example, was a cheap, embarrassing throw-away "celebration" of a record that made them, presumably, quite a lot of money. Maybe they're saving up for the 35th anniversary edition? | ||
| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 1485 Registered: 03-2006 |
Good case in point, Rob. Could that have been any cheaper? The record companies need to wise up: with the advent of easy downloading, packaging is really all they have left to lure the consumer into (rapidly disappearing) record shop... Going into a record store is rapidly turning into a horse & buggy experience. | ||

Ann Coulter is an intelligent woman, sucking on the Repulican teat. A self-made woman. Making a mint from being outrageous. Surely even she can't actually believe her own opinions! i suspect she's really a Bridget Jones-like caricature for right-wing America, fug yeah! Padraig, I hated dogs until we got one. Such unconditional love is hard to ignore. You go out for 5 minutes & are greeted on your return like a soldier from a 6 month tour of duty. | ||
| Michael Bachman Member Username: Michael_bachman Post Number: 440 Registered: 01-2005 |
I have to believe though that AC's book sales have begun to go south with her outrageous comments cncerning the 9/11 widows. She lost all credibility with me years ago with her pro Joe McCarthy book. He was the farthest thing from being an American hero. I skip her columns in my local newspaper and dump the used coffee grounds on her picture whenever possible. Sure she has made a ton of money, but her vile hatred has done nothing but to split the country and I don't admire her at all for the hate money she has made. | ||
| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 1490 Registered: 03-2006 |
There is the theory, with AC, that she's more or less putting on an act, that she isn't that crazy or hateful, that she's "acting the fool" to sell books. I don't subscribe to that theory. The stuff she says is just too evil and beyond the pale for it come anywhere but deep down in her little twisted psyche. A lot of the stuff, too, is extemporaneous, unrehearsed, so you know it's not carefully designed to cause outrage. Like the time I saw her call Al Gore a "fag" on a talk show (Chris Matthews' "Hardball"). No, make no mistake. She's evil and batshit crazy, to boot. And, she is a very nice looking woman, but who cares, when they're that heinous and foul? | ||
| Kurt Stephan Member Username: Slothbert Post Number: 1198 Registered: 04-2005 |
Nice looking? Not really...just another anorexic blonde, and one with a bit of an Adam's apple to boot! I totally agree she's a put-on. How can she be parodied? What she says--such as bashing the 9/11 widows--is so over-the-top to begin with. | ||
| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 1493 Registered: 03-2006 |
Anorexic and blonde are part of the holy trinity in California. The only thing she's missing are big, fake boobs. | ||

| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 1498 Registered: 03-2006 |
It's using the word "rictus" in conjunction with "with a wig" that makes it for me. You don't often see those two concepts commingled in a single sentence. | ||
| Michael Bachman Member Username: Michael_bachman Post Number: 441 Registered: 01-2005 |
Randy, Your Post 958 was short, but to the point on AC. Maybe the sunken and shadowed eye sockets is the result of not only being anorexic but also being a chain smoker? | ||

Daylight Savings Time. Complete bullshit. There've been studies that show it doesn't save energy - with the extra daylight people just run around and consume more...I appreciate the extra daylight, but miss the hour in the morning... Radical idea - why not just leave it the same time all year. So what if that old douche Ben Franklin came up with it? What the fuck did he know? He never even became president and didn't really like the idea of democracy...and who would fly a kite in a storm like that? That wasn't very safety conscious! I assume they do, but don't really know: do they inflict this bizarre practice on those of you living in the UK? | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 1295 Registered: 05-2005 |
They do it throughout Europe LK. In Oz it is a state by state thing and Queensland and Northern Territory don't have it. Western Australia didn't previously but brought it in in December. I'm a fan of daylight saving. There are also surveys saying it does save energy and there are still others saying it is energy neutral. Energy neutral is OK with me. The thing I miss most about Ireland (apart from friends and family) is twilight. We don't have it in Australia. Even at the height of summer in Sydney it is dark at 8.30. In Ireland in summer it is fairly light out till 11 or later; and then it's getting bright again at 3.30am. I love that and miss it so. | ||

I have to admit that I like this part of DST, when we've switched back to having more daylight in the evening, but that strikes me as being a little like the joke about the guy who walked down the street hitting himself in the head with a hammer, because "it felt so good when he stopped". | ||

Hard to beat that experience of riffling through the little booklet, while you sit back on the couch and listen to your new disc...what do you riffle through if it's an mp3? Yet another pet peeve, but this one's serious: gas (petrol) prices...what the fuck? | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 1066 Registered: 03-2005 |
Hardin, remember this is an international board. We still pay much less for gas/petrol/essence/benzina than Spence, Kevin, the Jerry's or Andrew Kerr do. Your complaints probably will not meet with a lot of sympathy from them. And as far as I'm concerned, anything to get people out of SUVs. I just put $3.41/gal premium in my little Lancia Beta coupe. I'll gladly pay $10/gal to get rid of these road hogs tailgating me with their bumpers that line up with the back of my head. I hope they hurt. I hope their gasoline bills force them into bankruptcy and to abandon their equally piggish 5,000 square foot McMansions with bathrooms the size of my living room. | ||
| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 1707 Registered: 03-2006 |
True that...I realized that, but thought maybe since we's all GBs bruthas, they'd feel our pain...I also wondered - given that they're starting at a higher point, does gas seem to be going up as quickly to them? And see, you've already got me beat just up the road in LA. $3.41? Ouch...that's probably 20 cents more than in OC...Of course, you probably get 40 miles to the gallon in your little Italian cruiser... | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 1067 Registered: 03-2005 |
Actually, no, unfortunately. The 1981-era US emissions devices and the crap I'd gladly offload if I could do so gracefully without screwing up the car--like the weightmaking but nonfunctional A/C system--yield an around-town figure of about 15 mpg. On the highway it manages about 30. | ||
| Kurt Stephan Member Username: Slothbert Post Number: 1283 Registered: 04-2005 |
Ouch...and I thought gas prices were bad in Seattle when we crept back over $3/gal in the past week. Not having a car at the moment is doing my wallet some good. Of course, it'll be $4/gal when I finally get mine back... But like Randy says, the people outside of the U.S. probably want to beat us to death for complaining about what gas costs here. | ||

| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 1332 Registered: 05-2005 |
Yep Randy's right we really pay through the nose for petrol, or any automotive related chargde for that matter. We are also taxed on every single little thing we consume. Mind you, if that's all we have to worry about its no bad thing. We're fortunate that life here is not bad considering the war, misery, poverty and starvation that goes on around the world. On David's point ref buying albums (CD's you mean rather than downloads?), yep I'm still up for it. Lately I have beenenjoying what little downloads I have, however, what I miss, is knowing its stored on my CD rack, or on my bookcase, or as in most cases in bits on the car floor or anywhere for that matter. What I have relisehd that the CD has spawned over the years, is the reissue factor, that for me (and the struggling multi national entertainment companies) has been a joy. it first started with Scott Walker's resissues on CD, wow! To see them on CD, in theor beautoful sleeves, the booklet etc, mastering issues aside, you can't beat seeing something on CD that you have adored on vinyl, but never owned, only on tape. | ||
| Kurt Stephan Member Username: Slothbert Post Number: 1288 Registered: 04-2005 |
So maybe you can answer this, Spence. Despite the ridiculous costs of running an automobile in the UK, there is an astounding array of new cars sold there, including many models with staggering performance. The selection we have in the States, a far bigger country geographically and population-wise, is a pittance in comparison, with most of the vehicles sold here being pickup trucks and SUVs. Also, the UK has the best enthusiast magazines in the world (Evo, Top Gear, Car, etc.), whereas most of the U.S. car mags are bland, thinly disguised advocates for the carmakers (i.e., advertisers). So how do you explain the thriving car culture in the UK despite the government's efforts to make owning and driving a car such a major expense and hassle? Are cars viewed as a traditional luxury item that people just aren't willing to give up despite the government's efforts to legislate them out of existence? | ||
| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 1335 Registered: 05-2005 |
I really can't answer this question Kurt. I thought he US now had pretty much the same kind of vehicles that we have here in the UK? Traditionally i suppose, you guys have always been portrayed as a 4 wheel drive/pick up, 'big' car' nation. I think the UK is now following your tradition there. We have millions of 4 wheel drives and pick ups, and not just for business, but for pleasure. Its the topic of great debate over here actually. People are getting pissed at 4x4's for instance, as they are gas guzzlers, thus adding to the Ozone depletion, and generally these motors with bull bares etc kill people!. Funny though, as it is dangerous to tar averyone with the same brush when you have an opinion, I think the populace opinion on 4x4's is a tad overblown. I own a Land Rover Freelander. Right, ok its a 4x4, but it has no bull barsand more importantly, its only a 1900cc diesel engine. We measured the miles we got per gallon, and were happy to work out that we were getting just under 50 miles per gallon. Where as, say, the expensive exective Lexus over the way from me, is a 3 litre V8 Fu*ck off monster, that does 18 miles to the gallon. So who's carbon the baddie here? I guess the answer is Kurt, is that people love driving, even though most of the time its a nightmare getting from one place to another. We're suckers over here, we love queing!!!! There's a load of hyphocricy over here regarding cars. The Government want us to get on our bikes, yet they can drive to work, yadda, yadda, yadda. PS Ask ol G Bush, why your automobile selction is crap,he's probably gotta deal with Ford! | ||
| Kurt Stephan Member Username: Slothbert Post Number: 1289 Registered: 04-2005 |
Thanks, Spence. Interesting to hear your take on the situation. As for why our selection of cars is crap, that's one (the only?) thing we can't blame on GWB. It's been true for ages. Overall, people want big, uninvolving, "me too" cars in this country--if not SUVs and full-size pickups, the dull four-door sedans with automatic transmissions. I think 99% of drivers here love the freedom of getting around by car, but hate the actual driving part and want to be as disconnected from it as possible, even when they're behind the wheel. | ||
| joe Member Username: Dogmansuede Post Number: 141 Registered: 07-2006 |
do many people in the UK actually drive? i've a lot of friends in london and manc and none of them drive - maybe half of them have their license. me, i'm 24 and am yet to acquire so much as my learner's permit. surely the tube and buses take care of most local travelling/commuting needs? | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 1071 Registered: 03-2005 |
Wow, Joe, no license. I guess Melbourne is as good as Sydney in terms of transit. If there's good transit and traffic is evil, most people will opt against a car. Obviously London has those attributes. Sadly, here in Los Angeles, the traffic is getting more evil all the time but the transit is in its infancy. A 20 minute walk will get me to a tube station that only goes in two directions. And I'm closer to it than 99% of the local population. I use it when I can but that's not very often. The UK is famous for its vibrant old car culture. We old car anoraks in the US always buy the UK mags on the subject. One of the best sources of parts for vintage Lancias is located in the UK. I find this amazing because the UK climate is not very friendly to aging steel. Concerning our crap selection of cars, one big reason is the protectionism masquerading as safety and emissions rules. The US imposes very expensive special procedures on the manufacturers of cars, making it economically unviable to come here unless you come here in a big big way. That's why the entire Fiat group of cars (excepting the uber-pricey Ferrari & Maserati), plus every French car, have bailed from the market. Although the EU's emissions and safety requirements are entirely satisfactory, the US requires separate expensive US DOT crash tests for any cars brought here and imposes screwy little standards that appear to me to be intentionally different from the EU's to knock out any but the totally dedicated competitors. The tastes of the American car buyer enter into it as well but in the pre-emissions and safety days virtually every manufacturer had at least small outlets in New York and Los Angeles and other places where there are enough people with the money not to care whether the car they are buying is easy to maintain. It is no longer possible to bring cars to the US in this fashion because of the incredibly high threshold costs of certifying a model for this market. And it pisses me off because by nature I only like the small-volume oddball cars. | ||

Public transport in Melbourne is great Randy - they've got trams, trains, light rail, buses and a small subway. Public transport in Sydney sucks ass. It could be so infinitely better. If Melbourne can do it... | ||
| joe Member Username: Dogmansuede Post Number: 142 Registered: 07-2006 |
public transport here is ok. i'm fortunate now to live on the doorstep of the cbd, so i walk into work and pretty much everywhere else i go. i used to live out in the burbs and whilst the train only took about 35 mins to get out there, they only run every 20-30 (15 in "peak" hour) and the connecting bus at the other end was a joke. in short, i used to have to get up for work at six for an eight thirty start. if you live closer in you have a lot more options though which makes life much easier. i'm aware of how bad l.a. has it though and am greatful for the comparitive luxury we have here! i also like to drink a lot of a weekend, so my definite preference has always been to get a moderately priced taxi or a train home with my ipod. accompanied by a hazy soundtrack of spring hill fair, reckoning, [insert felt record here] etc... | ||

(At least) 3 things are pissing me off today, that I need to get off my chest: 1) I think I complained about this last year, but hey, tis the season. They're already decorating for Christmas here. I went by the South Coast Plaza mall (really it's so huge, it's like a small town) yesterday, and it's already festooned with full X-mas regalia. 2) Those slimline cases for double CDs that have the second, internal hinge on the right-hand side. Incredibly cheap, incredibly flimsy. You know that they're going to survive being opened maybe two, three times, before they're completely ruined. 3) Dried oatmeal. I've tried being a good boy, eating my oatmeal every day to keep my cholesterol down, but have you ever tried cleaning that shit off a pot, particularly after it's dried? Good Lord! That stuff holds better than crazy glue! The dishwasher doesn't even come close to penetrating it. | ||

Pakistan. So Musharaff suspends the constitution in his country and replaces the chief justice because he's afraid the Supreme Court won't let him run for dictator - uh, president - again. He should have appointed Cal Thomas, Tony Scalia and Bill Rehnquist. You know, guys who get all misty-eyed for the days when commoners didn't have the vote. At least Bush has had the good manners to gut our constitution is small steps, thereby avoiding a messy state of emergency. USA! USA! | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 1847 Registered: 05-2005 |
Spence: Add your country and Australia to that list. Per capita, UK, Aus and US are far greater polluters than China. Jeff: Sorry to burst your bubble, but US winter time is the regular time. US summer time is the one that's adjusted by one hour. Winter time just reverts to the status quo. | ||
| Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 1046 Registered: 08-2006 |
I always forget that about the time, Padraig, until I hear someone refer to winter time as "standard time." | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 823 Registered: 10-2004 |
Padraig - regardless, it's the summer/day-light savings time that's vastly preferable to me, and which I wish could be kept all year 'round. | ||
| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 2479 Registered: 03-2006 |
Jeff, I agree completely. Your mouth to God's ear. Please, please give us daylight savings time year 'round! If there were any presidential candidates offering that, they'd be a shoe-in, at least in the LK household. Seriously, just today there was something in the news about how, every year when we "fall back" to regular time, there's an upswing in pedestrians getting mowed down my cars. Basically, with less light, particularly at the time when a lot of people are walking home or to a parking lot, after work, they just aren't being seen well enough. Long story short: if you be walkin' after dark, watch yo' ass! Don't be trustin' no cars! This has been another LK public service announcement. | ||
| Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 1048 Registered: 08-2006 |
This might be a stoopid question, but why do we have a time change in these modern times? Is it really for the agriculture folks? If so, that's a pretty big burden to ask the entire populace to bear for one industry. It's like adding an extra day to the month of March because the nation's orthodontists lobbied for it. There must be some other reason, yes? | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 1422 Registered: 03-2005 |
The time change is for the city folk. WE are the ones that like the later evenings. On behalf of the reversion to standard time, I do find it blessedly easier to get up in the morning when it's not dark. After all, I have to get up and go to this job thing--it's not exactly what you'd call motivating. So a little light helps. As for people getting mowed down in the evening, we've got 35 million people in California. We can stand to lose a few. There is no time change in the state of Arizona. If you like time stability and don't mind 115 degree weather, there's your bolt hole. | ||
| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 2480 Registered: 03-2006 |
Wasn't it that fat, kite-flying asshole, Ben Franklin, who invented daylight savings time? Randy, don't you have any of them new-fangled 'lectric lights in your house? | ||
| Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 1049 Registered: 08-2006 |
I do know what Randy's saying. I got up at 6 am this morning, and opening my eyes to something other than inky blackness was kinda nice. On the flip side, it's almost dark here at 4:30 pm, which makes me feel like I'm pulling an all-nighter at work when it ain't even quittin' time. I blame the sun for going into vacation mode five months out of the year. | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 825 Registered: 10-2004 |
LK - amen! I'll confess I prefer Day-Light Savings for selfish reasons. Mainly it's because I go running most days immediately after work (no way in hell I can do it in the morning, I've tried...), and I prefer to run on the hiking trails in the hills near my house. Once the "fall-back" time change occurs, running the trails after work ends abruptly. Too dark to navigate the steep, rocky paths. So, I have to run on the streets during the week, which is noticeably harder on my joints and muscles, not to mention less pleasant than running through the forest. And of course I HAVE to run in order to keep the love handles away. And I'll never, ever set foot in a gym, so yeah - I love daylight savings for totally selfish reasons. I know - oh, poor me. But I do tend to prefer darker mornings over darker evenings, in general. And now with the change having just occurred, I'm crashing to sleep at 10:00 (instead of 11:00) and waking up at 5:30 (instead of 6:30). I swear, the older I get, the harder it is for me to make the adjustment. But of course this is all so painfully trivial when you think about the hell Pakistan's opposition parties are enduring right now. | ||

Those lights that mimic the sunrise. They can screw you up if you place them to the West! What's best about clock changing days is how much of a mess you get in if you lose track of it & don't change every clock, watch, phone & appliance in your posession. How exactly does it help agriculture? The cock crows at sunrise & he doesn't give a shit about daylight savings. Only man could come up with a concept to alter time twice a year. | ||
| Michael Bachman Member Username: Michael_bachman Post Number: 899 Registered: 01-2005 |
Jeff and LK, I agree on the Day-Light Savings time. It was great that it was extended on both ends this year. The Fall colors were especially nice to see for an extra week, and it was great for the trick or treaters as well. I'd like it to see it extend again on both ends for an additional week, early March to mid November. | ||

I feel like the price for Cohen's gig is to fund his retirement after his accountant cleared him out when he went on that 5 year buddhist retreat in LA but why is Waits' gig €140....it certainly ain't that price in the US.
