Christiern

I love my country, ergo, I would vote for Larry King, Dr. Phil, Montel Williams, Barbara Walters, any of my building's doormen, or Anna Nicole Smith over this Bush.

Jesse Jackson loves female vocalists, and I have always suspected that this might include some whom he never got to bed. Nancy was already history (albeit recent) a few years back when I had lunch in a D.C. restaurant with him and one of his pet canaries. The conversation did not leave me with anything to mull over, but I was impressed by his ability to smoothly make it through a three-course meal with only one hand above the table. The chirper was all smiles and she had a ravenous appetite.

Words to live by.

Since I understand that all your royalties are going there, I think adding my liner note fee would be overkill. Sure, Bush wants us to spend, but I think he had the local mall in mind. Hell, I'll give it to Sharpton for a trim.

Actually, I had planned to go to a Bush fund-raiser on Monday, but I guess he has enough money. B)

Have it...like it.

Forget baseball...here, this will blow you away!

Sometimes the past is best forgotten--seems to me that this is one such instance.

Dan over Heaney, any time! Please, Christiern.....would you like to be confused with CHRIS "Heinous" Heaney?? ...the name is *DEEP* DEEP DEEPly sorry.

Dan over Heaney, any time!

Well?

A retrospective of me....

... and 5 snaps!

Lucie is still alive, and he may well still be recording his weekly show for Manhattan Cable. although I believe his wife (who shared the show with him) passed.

I have read through this entire thread and I remain clueless! Will someone please explain to me what this is all about? Or do I have to join a secret society?

I'd say that you were a little overqualified for that job, Chris. Thank you, John. Actually, I was supposed to be a press contact, but on my first day there, Benny handed me a cheque for $100,000.00 made out to the IRS. "See if you can learn my signature," he said, "then put the cheque in the mail." I spent the next month or two signing 8 x 10 glossies and letters (which I also wrote) to fans and the likes of Richard Rodgers. Signed a couple of albums, too, but Benny was stingy with those.

The tension started long before the band embarked on the tour. I was working for Benny at the time (as his autograph signer--honest!) and I used to feel so sorry for his band manager (I think that's what he was, his name was Jay) who used to come to the office and bury his head in his hands. I recall one time when he asked me, "How do you tell Coleman Hawkins that you can't use him?" It would be interesting to hear from someone who was present at the "auditions" and/or rehearsals.

425m-year-old penis found By Roger Highfield, Science Editor (Filed: 05/12/2003) A 425-million-year-old fossilised penis, the oldest one yet recorded, has been discovered by scientists. It belongs to an ostrocod, a tiny animal like a water-flea which is still common today, even in suburban ponds. _ The fossilised Ostrocod The fossil was found preserved in volcanic ash at an undisclosed site in Herefordshire, which was once part of an ancient ocean. It shows a remarkable amount of soft tissue detail. Fossilised soft parts such as those reported in the journal Science by Prof David Siveter of the University of Leicester and colleagues in Oxford and Yale are extremely rare. The previous oldest specimen was 240 million years old. "It is very exciting," Prof Siveter said. "Here we have a beautiful animal preserved in all its glory, and with all its appendages." An ostracod is only 5mm long and its penis can be as much as a third of the size of its entire body. It has been named Colymbosathon ecplecticos, which means "astounding swimmer with a large penis". Although there are older fossils with possible evidence of male features, it is unequivocal in the case of the Herefordshire fossil. "It is definitely a male," he said. "That stout projection is a well-preserved penis."

Moose, don't tell me Deus' pterodactyl didn't just have babies!

I guess winter has finally hit us here in New York. Here's the view from my window an hour ago...

Hjertelig til lykke med fødselsdagen, Deus.

Yup
