  1. Fifth? Hmm, I only have the 2006 Jpn edition (SICP 1220/1). It's nice to be the model of restrain around here! I was thinking the same thing. It's going to hit 90 today and I'm out of weizen!!!
  2. I stand with one of them on this DVD biz: "I shouldn't have to sit in my living room where my TV and DVD player is to listen to music. I have a dedicated music room- I want the CDs. It doesn't have to sound perfect or hi-rez, etc., just put it out on CD! Why can't they do that anymore? Why does everything have to have a DVD now? Fine, include the DVD, just don't make the audio part of it exclusive to the DVD!"
  3. Same here w/oak roots clogging the pipe in an area of the property that is both steep and dense with underbrush -- which made it impossible to access with a mini excavator. It was an expensive operation.
  4. Oh it's fine......not like you'll be using it every other day (we hope).
  5. Okay, thanks....have never before seen that Jasmine one. Looks like it includes those two tracks ('Monk Was Here' & 'Last Minute Blues') that were only issued on the cardboard 45. http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=150297122502 "Obviously not much is known about these 2 'mysterious' recordings -" Head Man, are you genuinely mystified by this?
  6. Is the Tubby & Ronnie Scott material from the Jazzland LP ('Message From Britain') available on CD?
  7. Yeah, Paul & I are in constant PM contact. We hatch new plots daily. We even have this long-fingered woman permanently stationed on the rocks outside your coastal home, keeping an eye on you.
  8. Curious to know what the postage is on a haul like that?
  9. That what you're calling it these days?
  10. That the place over on Wilson that has a burger topped with Foie Gras? __________________________________________________________________ From '16 Tips for The Perfect Burger': http://www.kitchendaily.com/2010/01/21/16-tips-for-the-perfect-burger/?icid=main|main|dl3|link3|http://www.kitchendaily.com/2010/01/21/16-tips-for-the-perfect-burger/ #16. Have Plenty of Toppings on Hand Everyone's got a different idea about what tops the perfect burger. Besides the standards -- lettuce, tomatoes, pickles -- try at least five or six other, less common options. Consider pepperoncini, jalapenos, or dried cranberries and break out of the American-cheddar-Swiss triumvirate of cheeses. Think havarti, Manchego or brie. dried cranberries??? I dunno....seems too goofy, that one does.
  11. When it comes to offering up details about important matters, this guy is way too cagey. Imagine moving in and then discovering that his idea of "good beer" is a Fosters or a Molson Golden. OMFG!!!!
  12. Looks like the last two tracks aren't on the Mosaic.
  13. That's the problem with Massachusetts....and the reason I left. They never give you enough to buy smokes plus beer. "The infant's mother, 31-year-old Wendy Arsenault, was inside the Pride store at the time. The maintenance man called police who found the couple at the nearby Econo Lodge where they are living on public assistance." http://www.wlfi.com/dpps/news/strange/cops-say-man-tries-to-trade-baby-for-beer-jgr_3365212
  14. That makes two of us. Let's form a club? We'll call it the 'Let's Throw It Overboard Without Pausing To Seek Counsel From The Learned Club' Geez, this from a fella who has a custom made box for his Japan import Pink Floyd collections! The Sam Rivers would do you some good -- at the very least, stretch out that stereo of yours. Okay, okay...but if I don't like it, I'm spitting it out at you!
  15. That's a shame......but what a fabulous life!!! Coincidentally, just picked up all 5 volumes of the Great Jazz Trio 'Great Standards' (Alfa) from Hiroshi's online shop. Glad I did. Will spin this Savoy a bit later.

  17. God, those idiots. Too much time spent lounging about... Beantown sports pages will go nuclear in the am.
  18. Allen, I yanked the neighbor's kid out of his seat the other night....then carried it (not Jr!!) over to the Birchmere and stashed it on the Freeport-bound bus. So stay in your seat tonite....have a Lime Rickey or two....and behave yourself!!
  19. What a fun show that was!! She has a dynamite stage presence and gives off that 'I'm comfortable in my skin' vibe (speaking of which, her 'arm flab' routine is a definite crowd pleaser w/the older ladies) ....so I can see why she was voted entertainer of the year a couple of times over. First time my wife had seen the B3 in action...and was impressed! If you're able to catch the show, it's well worth it.
  20. Well, I figured it would be okay to pull a quick stunt like that on my very own thread in the oft wild & whacky political forum...particularly when I clearly stated up front that it was my intention to monkey around for a few minutes and then re-open it. Anyone who read it knew straight up that that was the game -- however, clearly I failed to accurately gauge the reaction of the half-dozen people I expected to witness the high jinx in the political forum and I apologize for the violation.
  21. Oh, for heavens sake. I started the Kagan thread...and 'yes,' I told Allen (who at that very moment was perusing my thread) that I would lock it for a few minutes because he'd been tweakin' me yesterday on the taxes thread (see post #2). Gee whiz, Matthew...lighten up.
  22. I say destroy everything - everything I tell you - and start again with just a select handful of the chosen... First destroy your copy of the OED...then be sure to add Hughes name to the 'select handful' list you're compiling. Someone on that team must have an eye for detail....it can't just be made up of broad-brush thinkers and show horses. For 99 Years, Oxford English Dictionary Got It Wrong Updated: 20 hours 17 minutes ago Print Text Size EmailMore Terence Neilan Contributor (May 11) -- The Oxford English Dictionary got it wrong, and it took 99 years before anyone noticed. Siphons don't work, it turns out, because of atmospheric pressure, as the OED has been saying since 1911. It's all down to that law Isaac Newton figured out when an apple hit his head: g-r-a-v-i-t-y. Siphons work by drawing fluids from a higher location to a lower one, not always an easy thing to do, as anyone who's tried to empty a car's gas tank would confirm. "It is gravity that moves the fluid in a siphon," said Stephen Hughes, a physics lecturer at the University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. So he was stunned when he noticed the OED had made a mistake, telling The Daily Telegraph of London, "We would all have an issue if the dictionary defined a koala as a species of bear, or a rose as a tulip."
  23. Will catch you at The Birchmere Wed night. I live less than a mile away. When you're heading down Mount Vernon Avenue, you'll know you're close when you see this sign... ......and the misspelled version on the street-level awning.
