Son-of-a-Weizen

Yes! Got a keg of Hofbrau on ice, 30 lbs of bratwurst and 50+ people showing up this weekend. Just starting to pull out the various decorations.....

Interesting article.....been fascinated by this for years and have taken the kids to see the giant squid tentacles on display down in Sarasota, FL. This comment is a bit odd though. Given what we known about the unique physical characteristics and normal feeding behavior of the smaller variety squid (use venom to paralyze prey and then bite off the head).....add in the analysis of severed tentacles and stomach contents of the larger creature, and there never was a reason to suggest that the creature was a sluggish, non-aggressive 'troller' in the first place.

I caught that shocking piece about Second Chance Body Armor on the network news last night. Maybe I'll raid the White House dumpsters for a vest, then swing on by and see if the media fuss and fingerpointing is gounded in reality......or just more overreaction on their part.

...or a non mini-lp, jewel box copy at Amazon Japan for about $17.

Mulligan Quartet w/Baker

I soooo want to say something... What? That you want to put one over me and then fill it up with water?

I always got a kick out of the Cone of Silence.

I'm all over that like Halliburton on a Louisiana reconstruction project!

It's not an "imitation"....they use wheat instead of rye in their grain mix.

excellent value...although the stream (trickle?) of technical glitch comments at Amazon is less than encouraging. Hopefully it'll enjoy blockbuster sales and others will follow suit. The collection I'd like to see.

Do you prefer the squirrel decanter or something a bit less fashionable?

That was a good move.

Unusual to have 2 copies sitting on eBay at one time. That's one to grab. I'm not the seller........don't know the seller(s)...........don't want to know the seller(s) unless they can get me a 50L keg of Erdinger Weizenbier for Oktoberfest ......etc.. http://cgi.ebay.com/FREDDIE-HUBBARD-Here-T...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/Here-To-Stay-Freddie-H...1QQcmdZViewItem

Great...now we have to revise 10 billion school textbooks accordingly: .....According to astronauts, the Great Wall of China and the Italian bunny top the list of spectacular objects on earth visible from space.

Are those 2 mil lp poly bags at Bags Unlimited the best thing to use to protect Mosaic boxes?

Still awol? Damn, now I'll never get that xerox of the Lew T. 'Black & Tan Fantasy' cover from him! Who was the other Navy man over at BNBB? Scott? Also from New Orleans wasn't he?

I'd forgotten about 'undergroundagent.' Seems as though he has been gone for ages. Off travelling in europe or so the last I recall.

No need to worry about me, babe. I was just spending some extended quality time out in the boat trying to do a Hemingway 'Old Man and the Lake Superior' routine..... but couldn't land much more than a barrelful of these dinky bass. Good to see you back. You still collecting the mini-lps?

I saw Cobb here in DC w/Curtis Fuller Sextet 7-8 months ago. He's probably still floating around the map w/them.

I've really flipped over this Italian Umbriaco (bottom of page).....soaked in wine, has a distinct flavor of apples. My local cheese shop has been getting small quantities here & there for the past six months and they now tell me that their distributor can no longer secure it. I bought the last lb. yesterday and will now have to find a new source. Perhaps this place? Anyone know of them...or have another online source/suggestion? http://www.cheeseshopcarmel.com/cheese/alp...ally/alpha4.htm

....any suggestions for a new paint scheme?

Nope, not the Minnesota State Fair. Chuck called it! Got the FEMA job and brought my boat down to La to have a look around. A pretty serene place....not much going on.......don't know what all the fuss is about. Just the media blowing things out-of-proportion again.

Alfred, I thought you'd collected all of the 16/20-bit TOCJs? I think you'll want to hang onto those.

Are you talking about all the TOCJ24's?
