speaking of ghosts..........

My link Officials say Ben Harris had been filling kegs with air to clean them out when one of the kegs blew up. “Something failed where it basically blew apart under the pressure and with such force that parts of the keg pushed into his chest and into his head,” Portsmouth Asst. Fire Chief Steven Achilles told WBZ-TV

when notoriety, notorious, and infamous are used as words of praise, (and i hear them from the media every day), i get a warm tinkle down my leg.

the implications therein are vast, indeed.

to me, diphthong is kind of diphhy.

Thanks. I haven't been able to bring myself to comment on the hockey thread since Detroit folded their tent. I can't say I was all that surprised. The loss of Darren Helm really hurt, but probably not enough to change the outcome. Also, I'm still unhappy about the league failing to deal appropriately with Shea Weber for his WWF move on Zetterberg, but again, that wouldn't have made enough difference to change the result. Here's the deal. You build a team the back to the front. Jimmy Howard is a decent goaltender, but the Wings defense was really shaky. I'd like to see them make a run at Nashville's Ryan Suter to firm up their blueline. Also, and I've taken some heat over this on the Detroit Free Press Red Wing website, I'd like to see Nicklas Lidstrom hang up the skates. I just don't see starting to a rebuild around a 43-year old defenseman no matter how good he is. I'll tell you one thing, I wish I'd put some money on Vancouver, PIttsburgh and Chicago (and maybe New York and Boston) not getting out of the first round. some silly gambler will win buckets of money. no one could possibly be THAT shrewd. i would love to see similar in the nba playoffs.

things look hopeless for my black hawks starting the 3rd period. that big phx. goalie has slammed an airtight lid on the cage. damn. 4-0 mike smith of phoenix gave the single most superhuman goaltending performance i've EVER seen, for this series and particularly this game.

the sunday morning was damp, chilly and windy, day best spent inside. after a vigorous hourlong workout at a nearly empty Y, i took a few steps to the nearby tap room. rather than a usual 20 ounce guinness, the bartender suggested a 12 ouncer of a just untapped strong belgian from epic brewing in faroff salt lake city. i thought utah was a dry state. "this beer is strong," she offered, "a 10 per center." it was a beautiful peach orange with plenty of carbonation and just a tiny topping of thin foam with lasting lacing. the alcohol, peach-apricot flavor was very subdued. malt softened the taste. there was NO hoppiness. this beer was aged in french wine casks. i seemed to detect mango and grape in the flavor, as well. this, for a beast of a beer, is so understated. the yeast and peach nectar are so beautifully blended. it's like jazz by a great soloist who never does give you, or makes you wait, for the the melody. it leaves you wanting something undefined more. "this peachiness calls for cream or vanilla," so, on the side, i sipped a shot of excellent 3 olives vodka. "HEAVEN, or at least a very fine temple." the match was perfect!! this called for a brahms song, so i dialed up his always at hand choral masterpiece, nanie. then i ordered another brainless on peaches with vanilla vodka on the side. there are times when living can be so wonderful. i will eagerly seek out other excellent epic brewery products and suggest the manager order another keg of brainless on peaches strong belgian ale, soon. brahms nanie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVPEbH_Exyc

the red sox ownership (messrs. henry and others)appear to have wrested control of their beloved bosox from the flashy young bucks(theoites-titoites). sometime the worst thing that can happen to someone is to get what they want. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

until midnight tonight edt. we've all heard it all before, but it's worth a rehearing. wkcr link

high on kryonite no, not carbonite.

thanks for the insights on pianos and performance....

i found the comments about concert pianos interesting--not necessarily the article,but the responses. i came away with slightly lesser regard for the steinway name. My link

i'm looking into analyzing the published mlb salaries for this year by team. i've this crazy idea that those with the highest median salaries should be the best teams. my idea of the best managed team salary wise would be the highest percentage of median salary divided by the sums. i use salary here as a very rough indicator of skill and performance.

that's very useful advice. thanks. i've a 1983 daytona 25th anniversary firebird unrestored, which looks like it came off the showroom room floor and runs just as well. insurance, and appraisals, are proving to be big hassles.

thanks. now i remember. the owner told me that it was a flathead. i was very surprised to learn that the owner had no special insurance on the bike, other than standard bike policies. when i asked if he donned the riding attire of the time for parades and shows, he said yes.

.....and without all the gussying and preening.

this one seems just about right for me.

when i was in 7th or 8th grade, the kids would rush home from school to watch american bandstand to see the stars mouth their hits, see kid fashions, and hear the hottest hits. he helped make many lasting pop icons. the most memorable to me were little richard and james brown. ibread a story where dick may have stolen the gig from someone else. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDrUdKWRm2g
