Read this over the weekend in Puerto Rico - highly recommended. JamesJazz's comments are right on the money in all ways.

Regarding Horace, isn't this a howler? I don't know if he gigged with him but I'm pretty sure Horace never recorded with Hubbard.

This falls under polygamous and, if Flip is playing Geraldine, gay, too.

I wanted to translate that into Bastard-Speak but I failed miserably.

+1.

Did Alan North have anything to do with jazz? Because I really wanted to pair him off with Peter North.

You had a great idea Ted. Seems like this could go on a long time ...

That was me ... what I do is pick another color and rebuild the two-layer completed state, then lather, rinse repeat. At some point all the corner pieces do come together, and when you get that, you probably know the moves that will leave corner pieces in place but only effect the center pieces. Only a matter of time at that point. And the feeling of watching multiple pieces move into place simultaneously ... :excited:

Done. I'm wondering who took it apart and put it back together. At least that was quicker than taking the stickers off and rearranging them.

It seems like its just a cosmetic change to the interface, what makes it worthless? I don't use it often but I've used it a few times since the change and can't imagine why people would like it then be desperate for an alternative.

I'll admit I was pretty obsessed with the Rubik's Cube when it came out. At least at the beginning I was ahead of people who couldn't "see" how to get one side done, or that its not "done" unless you get the right colors lined up on each side. But I never got beyond two sides at a time, or 2/3 of the layers. Then one of my neighbors went to summer camp and came back spinning that thing like a mad man and getting it done in about 90 seconds, and I wasn't even interested in learning "the secret" - I just kept going, and one day, practically by accident, all the corner pieces came together, and I was like "Oh yeah, I know exactly what to do from here" and a few minutes later I'd finally solved the damn thing. So what about you? By the way, the reason I brought this up is that last month I was on a plane and I had decided to bring the cube with me for amusement while my new Nook E-Reader would have to be turned off during taxiing and take off and final approach. It was funny how people paid attention to me while I worked it. I started when the doors shut and had it solved just before take-off.

"Woe is Me (Gotta tell better stories)"

That's how I got it.

:party:

Just two examples, more here of 25 Outrageous Fashion Ads from the 70s. I was ages 5 to 15 then but I've no doubt you could do a set of 25 of kid's fashions that were equally vomitous. But there are plenty of members who were adults back then ... 'fess up and tell us which ones you wore.

Actually we have Chuck for that.

I thought it was OK until the Satchmo vocal came up. Not really surprised it went that high, that's gotta be an unbelievably rare record.

To his credit, Goodie has stopped defending Paterno. To his embarrassment, baseball statistician Bill James has not. Sample quote:

Reading this about Paterno almost feels like piling on. But if we need evidence of consciousness of guilt: Or could it really be just a coincidence?

Can be there, because sickos exist and prey on children? Of course. I was objecting to the idea that its natural or normal.

I'm not at all sure what you're getting at Larry, but I don't see how there can be any naturally occuring homoerotic component to interactions between adult authority/father figures and adolescent boys. Or not one that can be labelled as inevitable in any way.

Pathetic commentary from the Paterno family: They are still going with the "he reported to his superiors and left it up to them" story which is now proven false. He did follow up with his so-called "superiors" and then made what was essentially a command decision to keep it in-house. The family deserves to lose any civil cases that come against his estate.

Yes there are precedents but few involve the cold-blooded choices of "heroes". Times headline: Freeh’s Findings Stun Even Paterno’s Ardent Supporters No word on whether that includes any speech teachers in the Bay area.
