I was lucky enough to get the last "Cleopatra" sexy, sexy, sexy.

i don't know that it's necessarily "better" than the ipad, but it is the first android tablet to bring with it a polished, snappy, credible user experience unencumbered by bloatware, OEM modifications to android, and "other horseshit."  if you're already an android fan, then it's easily the better choice.  if you're not an android fan, then the ipad is probably the better choice for you.

too add, why did the Asus memo disappear?

not sure what you're referring to.

The Asus Memo is/was the Nexus 7, only with the Asus brand. Asus is the manufacturer of the Nexus. At least that is how I understand it.

     Moments of clarity.

        From 1985-1991, on at least 60 occasions in various fast food establishments in and around Boston, I committed a heinous act. I was an unregenerate habitual offender of loosening the tops on salt and pepper shakers. Pretty expert at it too. Do just enough that the poor bastard doesn't suspect anything's wrong...and then BOOM! his gyro is destroyed, or whatever was on the plate. And I'd always stayed and watched my "work"(it was hard not to laugh in their faces). I was the "The Jackal" of fast food joints near Fenway Park.

          But, today...it hit me. The utter meandering, mediocrity and misery of my adulthood must be linked to those misdeeds. Purgatory on Earth for fucking up pizzas and rice pilaf. Has to be.

You will spend eternity tightening the tops of salt and pepper shakers as punishment.

Honey, we all did that at fast food joints. It was terrible. It was wrong.

Not to interrupt your self-flagellation, but it doesn't curse the remainder of your life. And any adult who pours salt on their food without checking to see if the lid is on tight is just being a fool.

That's the key. I've been trying to figure out when this damnation ends, and my hope that it isn't eternal. October 13, 2016(a thursday) will mark the 25th anniversary of the last time I was guilty of such culinary terrorism. Hopefully by then my full penance will have been paid.

          It will also be the 25th anniversary of my viewing Joe Pesci's "The Super", which is Exhibit 237B in my "Why I stopped going to the movies" treatise.

       Good point, BTW...shame on those naive creatures for not checking the tops. I always did even before my ventures into such depravity.

Eddie, I've got some potential bad news.

We tend to ascribe value to anniversaries based on integers, often in increments of 5, but nonetheless, the foundation of which is base-10. So we tend to recognize a 10th, or 25th, or 50th anniversary. To complicate matters further, we ascribe anniversaries based on one revolution of the earth around the sun.

But, what if, the Universe calculates damnation duration for culinary terrorism using base-16? Or octal? What if the universe damnation calendar is based on the revolution of a planet circling Arcturus, or perhaps the frequency of Caesium-133?

'Cuz ya just never know... just when you think you've been forgiven because your personal purgatory ends, maybe the Universe was undergoing a leap-(insert the Universe's unit of time), and your damnation will  return to haunt you.

So as I see it, you have 2 options:

1) forgive yourself and move on, or the preferred method:
2) deposit $50 into my Paypal account each month until your death, and I will personally atone your indiscretions directly to the Damnation Council of the Universe.

You can't write this stuff. From today's Wall Street Journal:


Earlier this month, eBay said it will shut down sales of "metaphysical" goods such as spells, potions and other magical services on its namesake website

EBay decided to eliminate metaphysical sales because such goods are a customer-service headache.

The San Jose, Calif., company says handling complaints was a problem when, for example, customers didn't win the lottery after buying a spell that promised them they would, or didn't turn into werewolves after imbibing a potion that guaranteed a transformation.

Some magicians say it was a few bad apples who sold inauthentic spells or potions on eBay who ruined it for the rest of them.

Some eBay buyers are distraught about the change. R.J. Blair, a 32-year-old San Francisco resident who runs a meditation-supplies website, says he bought about 15 to 20 spells over the past year from eBay for as much as $30 each. The spells "helped with my weight loss and some psychic abilities," he says.

"I can tell the spells are real because I can actually tell when someone casts them," says Mr. Blair, who adds that eBay is the best site because the sellers are rated by other buyers, which helps him weed out legitimate spell casters from those taking advantage of the system. "I hate to see it go, these spells have been very helpful for me," he says.

I'm thinking there's a ton of overlap between these people's customers and C2C listeners.

          Extraordinarily tall people(6' 7" and above) who were not athletes or actors...

              John Kenneth Galbraith(6' 8") and Michael Crichton(6' 9") and Ed Kemper(6' 9") are the only three that I could think of.

              The subject came up because of a neighbor's kid who is 6'6" at 14...but with no apparent athletic skill and or personality/wits.

I couldn't think of any others either, and searching the Web for tall people returns mostly dating sites.

Some of athletic ability is genetic, but in my experience, hooking up a 6' 6" 14-year-old with a good basketball (or football) coach may surprise everybody with what he can accomplish. The kid's a 'he', right ? If it's a 'she', I can almost guarantee a decent college scholarship.

         The kid displays no interest in even attempting to play organized sports. One of those "flunks gym" types. And appears to be gaining weight rapidly...I think "wrassling" could be an option.

Just a few short weeks of P90x, and that kid will have a six pack, be captain of the football team, president of the student council, and a popular diddling target for the girls.  Look at what it's done for George.

In Canada, there's a restaurant chain called Swiss Chalet, which features delicious rotisserie chicken, bbq ribs, etc. The chain has a 24 hour  television cable channel called Swiss Chalet - The Rotisserie Channel. The only visual on the screen is chickens roasting on the rotisserie...that's it.

So, if you have your TV tuned to this channel, this is all you see and hear - all day and all night. Poultry in motion...

[ziznak]

I worked at Boston Market back when they were still called Boston Chicken.  Worked there from age 16 - 18.  Not only did I practically live off of great rotisserie chicken, but I had an established dating service as well.  Cool thing about being the chicken carver/cooker is that you get to watch all of the server girls bending over the buffet scooping up food for people in front of you.  And what a buffet it was.

I can devour a whole rotisserie chicken in about 10 mins even now... never got sick of that food or the view.

[analog kid]

Any guitar players here? Just got me an orange Epiphone Wildkat. P90s, Bigsby.

[ziznak]

yuppers... nice piece you got there.  I'm axeless currently but back in my days "touring" the crappy dive bars in and around the tri-state area I slung a bc rich warlock from 77, various epiphone strats, some crazy ESP 7string that they only made for a day, and a few fender models which I can't remember... fenders model numbers are always codelike.  I'm a big fan of humbuckers... active or not I think they just sound better.

[analog kid]

Fender has a lot of models that are essentially the same guitar, heh. I like either humbuckers or P90s.

enjoying this band ATM.

But isn't that an ethically slippery slope? If we apply good ol' "pedagogic hyperbole" and ignore the strict application of Godwin's Law, we might have something like this: "Hey, Hitler told the Jews what was going to happen to them - they were fools to stay."

Discuss, differentiate. You have two hours beginning now. Leave your exam booklets in the "IN" basket.

Oh, Sardondi, I didn't mean you on the salt shaker thing. I should've made myself clear. For you, I would think you would prefer to wax philosophical on questions similar to what you've posed while your food gets cold. In that way, you can make the leap from a loose salt shaker lid to Jews being led to death camps, because I ain't going there.
