Dying Gets Easier With Practice

Hunter S. Thompson is shooting himself again, in his grave.

Could he look more feminine?...& he's on the furniture again. Ugh.

[Jack is Back!]

I can say with complete honesty that I have never read Rolling Stone magazine. Is it supposed to be like the "Downbeat" of rock 'n roll or is it like politics for the "counter-culture"?

[Sara]

He sure doesn't fit what my idea of cool is or ever was.

Now this is cool:

[Sara]

Hmmm, I did a Google search last night on the Schwinn Meridian 3-wheel bike and this morning an ad for one shows up in the right column of JOM. That is kind of creepy.

Hunter S. Thompson and William Burroughs are two of the most overrated writers in history. Add Alan Ginsburg and Jack Kerouac to that statement.

[Bill didn't want to become a roadside tourist attraction.]

Watch out for the little people.

[Donald]

Hunter was awesome.

He just was.

[Too much loathing in Colorado.]

D, F&LinLV blew me away, week after week, serialized in VV, in the library, after work.
==============

[Not sure it's any better.]

Sara, Bing while you still can.

As your attorney, I advise you to take a hit out of the little brown bottle in my shaving kit. You won't need much, just a tiny taste.

--Hunter S. Thompson is shooting himself again--

Good, saves me the trouble.

Sara,

Google algorithm's are "creepy":)

But only you and other JOMers that have looked for 3 wheel bikes will ever see that ad. Its the way it works. Works so well, those nerds at Google are going to be mining asteroids in the near future. And they thank you very much for your contribution to their VC funds.

[Clarice]

Yes, JiB. You can tell that's the source when you notice a little triangle with an i inside it.

Except that I frequently see ads for things I just purchased.

And why am I, a youthful middle-ager, seeing ads for senior citizen-style scooters?

Ok, so it's not a perfect system.

[narciso]

No note of this happening in your neck of the woods, TM.

[Clarice]

You're seeing the scooter ads because you haven't looked for anything online lately and so you're getting ads aimed at others here. The downside for retailers is that even after you'e purchased an item the logarithms keep thinking you might be interested in it--they don't get the sales slip.

[Ignatz]

--But only you and other JOMers that have looked for 3 wheel bikes will ever see that ad.--

So who keeps looking for Alan Grayson, Sherrod Brown and Michelle asking if I'm in?

Whoever it is I'd like to have a little talk with out behind the woodshed.

[Clarice]

As for Grayson et al, another placement method is to check the content on the page,Everytime their name is mentioned here, we get put on the ad list.

Here's a great new video, "Breitbart is here":

That's what you get, Ig, when you search for big boobs and asses.

[Buford Gooch]

Best JOM post this week, TK

[Chubby]

ditto peter x 1,000,000

--That's what you get, Ig, when you search for big boobs and asses.--

Yeah, but TK, I'm searching for fine china so why do I get adds for dixie cups and paper plates?

[Clarice]

TK gets my vote!

I finished hand-washing my Che t-shirt so now I can regale one and all with whatever talking points I am recycling from lefty sewers today.

[glasater]

Whoever posed BOzo for the Stone cover shouldn't have had his left hand where it is.

With Dead wives?

[Janet]

That Breitbart video is great. I love the deputy badges! Hah!

[sbw]

Many, many years ago, in the 1970s, I wrote Jann Wenner to see if he still, as was listed on each cover, believed in the cosmic giggle.

He wrote back, "Yes!"

Now that I realize that he is the joke, I don't bother to write or read him.

[mojo]

HST started out as a hack, proceeded to awesome, and then fell back into hackery.

Selah.

[sbw]

As opposed to HST who started out a Tammany hack and proceeded to awesome.

Beautiful Breitbart video. Thank you, Clarice.

With so much agreement that Breitbart lives, I won't be surprised if he rematerializes himself and continues right where he left off!

[BR]

Beautiful music.
