Saturday Afternoon

Away we go.

Do we know where we're going?

[Centralcal on iPad]

To hell in an Obama basket is my guess.

[Sandy fallow districts~engorged capital Daze]

...or how we are getting there...?

[BR]

Thinking of discussions in recent threads of clearing the computer's cache to make it run better and MM's talking of dreams based on movies she had just watched, and other people's experiences of dreams and nightmares being a weird composite of recent visuals, one could as a being tell yourself before going to sleep, the concept of clearing the cache, in case you've acquired that machine-like habit.

We are not computers and should not be limited by computer design. We are free and limitless, spiritually, with immense capacity for knowing.

Now, Dems, progs, clones and other such artificials, may well have brains programmed by GIGO: garbage in = garbage out.

[Beasts of England]

I'll drive!

[rich@gmu]

you kids better knock it off or I'm turning this car around ...

[BR]

For me, sleeping is a very pleasurable experience especially the falling asleep part, feeling the body relax. I rarely dream, and if I do, it's because of too heavy a blanket or too hot or too cold, and it's (dreaming) a nuisance that I'm now successful at eliminating.

Much better, parking the body like a car or a pet, I become awake and aware while it's resting, and I go flying through the universes and beyond.

off a cliff ... either slowly or quickly.

[rich@gmu]

should probably get ready for the Florida Georgia match up ...

[Danube on iPad]

I expect Fla.-Georgia to be roughly like Navy-Notre Dame. We have to go to a lobster dinner tonight so I will have to watch the latter by DVR.

Scalia: Not Original Intent But Original Meaning:

http://www.lawfficespace.com/2011/01/scalia-not-original-intent-but-original.html

[Jeff Dobbs]

I am going to go on the evidence in front of me: "we" are not going anywhere. "We" will mostly all be here late into the night.

It's TM who is going away and he's not taking us with him.

[RickB]

Rich,

Slowly. Oligarchies tend to die of the stupidity induced by inbreeding coupled with failure to reproduce. The Bourbons were a rather special exception. The oligarchy which fervently supported Draco went brain dead and shrank well before Solon liberated the thetes and the same can be said for the patriarchs of Rome prior to their grant of the veto to the plebeians.

Our current oligarchy has definitely made it to brain death but it maybe another generation before the funeral.

[Captain Hate]

I agree with everything BR said in his first paragraph. Plus I just got a CPAP machine and plan on using it tonight. I used it on a nap after playing hoops and it wakes me up when I stop breathing as my mouth fills with air being forced in my nose but I got a pretty good rest as I slept past my time to go to the book group, which was ok.

[Jeff Dobbs]

For the record: I don't want to go anywhere, with TM or otherwise.

I choose to stay here. Or my addiction chooses for me. Either way, I could quit JOM at any time, I just choose not to.

[Captain Hate]

All is right in the world: The Bojangles logo is back on the telecast frame in the ACC Game of the Week.

[Captain Hate]

The Holes are getting slattered by the Cane Train.

[BR]

Tks, Capt. (And I'm a she :)

Funny, when people see my paintings, they're usually surprised that I'm a she, too.

[Jack is Back!]

Air Force well on its way to another Commander in Chief Trophy.

Have a wonderful lobster dinner tonight, DoT:)

[rich@gmu]

the hope and change tour in Venezuela is making its date with destiny right on schedule ...

http://news.yahoo.com/colombians-jailed-venezuela-15-grocery-173646699.html

>>>Jenifer Rojas and Belsy Alvarez were arrested in early September by Venezuela's national guard walking out of a supermarket in the western city of San Cristobal with bags of rice, pasta, mayonnaise and other staples whose prices are capped in Venezuela and whose sale is restricted to the country's residents.

Along with the cashier who rang up their purchases, they face charges of smuggling and violating the socialist government's new law of fair prices, whose penalties include 10 to 14 years in jail.<<<

they are in the shortages spread and flight to real goods stage and the return to barter is just around the corner.

Yeah DoT, The Worlds Biggest Cocktail Party will be over by the 2nd quarter ...

[narciso]

I get this strange feeling of dejavu

[Captain Hate]

Sorry BR; I changed the sentence a couple times on this crummy laptop keyboard and would've ordinarily used a neutral pronoun.

The wheels are coming off Beamerball; after giving up a TD to BC, they completely muff the ensuing kickoff and it's now second and goal for BC, which missed the PAT on the last TD and that's not an uncommon experience this season.

[Jack is Back!]

Rich,

The game doesn't even have to be played this year: Mushcamp is dead man walking and has nothing to coach for prove except that he would make a good high school coach.

Very windy and cold today at EverBank Field.

[Marlene]

The young couple we went to dinner with last night just got a dachshund/cairn terrier mix puppy. Maybe I drank too much wine,but last night I dreamt that cairn terrier puppies were coming out from under the trees in the woods. I couldn't figure out how they could be pure bred cairns because the adult dogs were weird looking mutts.
Our dog is a cairn terrier and I've seen pictures of "Buster" the cairn/dachshund. He is so cute,but the dachshund genes won. Anyway,funny how the brain works when we are asleep.

[Stephanie accidentally OnT?]

DOT: We have to go to a lobster dinner tonight...

have to? Lobster? Rough job if you can get it.:)

Capt, try and see if ESPN360 has the games you want to watch. Sometimes it is the 45 second delay video and sometimes the game tracker is a graphic that looks like the old vibrating football game that we all played as kids with the play results showing up on the graphics. At least it's timely...

email back atcha, Rich.

Back to cleaning... yuck, but the son and his wife are coming over and you can't set a bad example :cough:. We're firing up the new fire pit tonight, yeah! Out for pizza then back for smores, beer, shooters, football and a game of Cards Against Humanity. NOT necessarily in that order.

[Jack is Back!]

Oh,oh. Temple on track to upset #22 East Carolina. Bearcats move closer.

[Jane]

Apropos of nothing:

For a million years, growing up, Lobster was my favorite food on the planet. My mother's rule was that she would not buy it unless it was $1.60 a lb or less. Still we had it several times a year.

For the last several years I couldn't care less about lobster. I have no taste for it. That ever happen to anyone else?

[Danube on iPad]

We do it twice year, Steph. Six couples, abd we rotate houses. Ed Kartin (6-year POW) has a guy in Maine who ships them live obernight, and Ed us expert at cooking and preparing them. Cold Sancerre never tastes so good as with that meal.

[Danube on iPad]

"government's new law of fair prices"

Whoop! Whoop! J. K. Galbraith would love it. How better to establish a fair price than through legislation?

I think there are a few more reruns on Sirius this weekend...

[daddy]

The Holes are getting slattered by the Cane Train.

What the heck day of the week is it back where you guys are? You're telling me we haven't totally lost yet?

Gad!

[Captain Hate]

Hokies are within six points with plenty of time.

[Captain Hate]

VT up by a point with 7:12 to go.

[peter]

Rick B. I took Talaash out of the library. thanks for the tip

[Stephanie accidentally OnT?]

I love lobster and we do it for either Christmas or New Year's every year. Order it in fresh, but I get West Australia tails, sorry yanks. Just looked and damn are they expensive this year!

I eat crab more often, though. Crab boil, Gumbo, King Crab, fried crab claws. Yum.

BTW if you can find them, Royal Red Shrimp are da bomb. Extra sweet and oh so good.

[Jeff Dobbs]

Terps just kicked a FG to go up one with less than a minute to play.

[Jack is Back!]

Anone else watching the USA v. All Blacks match in Chicago today? Is on NBC if interested. Haka upcoming.

It the Eagles even score a try its a victory. This is like the local high school playing the Broncos or Pats.

[Miss Marple]

Jane, I used to love shrimp. I cannot eat it anymore, not even in the South where it is fresh, not frozen.

I find I nearly gag when eating it. This happened about 4 years ago.

My theory is that I am borderline on becoming allergic to shellfish and this is my body's defense mechanism.

So I don't even try to eat it anymore. I avoid lobster for the same reason.

[Captain Hate]

Terps beat Ped State!! I'm speechless. The world is a great place at least temporarily.

[rich@gmu]

whoa ... The Turtles win 20-19 ...

[Captain Hate]

BC goes up by 9 in a short period of time. Nothing illustrates Beamerball more than that.

[Marlene]

Jane,we live in Maine,we eat lobstah every day. Ha! We had lobster twice all summer. I never really liked lobster and now only like to have a lobster roll drizzled with hot butter.

[BR]

RickB, yes, tku for Talaash - I found it on YouTube.

Eric in Boise from previous thread - Drambuie with Heineken chaser, wow, I've never tasted Drambuie - it sounds wonderful!

I read it's made of malt whisky, honey, herbs and spices and "Drambuie" derives from the Scottish Gaelic phrase an dram buidheach, "the drink that satisfies."

Mmmmm, love lobster too! Did you know they have negligible senescence? 100+ years, unless caught and eaten, of course :)

Once I looked at all the wonderful looking liqueurs at the supermarket and said to myself I'm going to taste each and every one of those in my life - ha, so I'll have negligible senescence, too. And when I've tasted them all, I'll invent new ones. I'm thinking of a coconut milk and rum mix with perhaps basil.

[Captain Hate]

Beamerball within 2 with 28 seconds to go before the onside kick, which was terribly botched by the Hokies.

[RickB]

Peter,

I hope you enjoy it. If you do, Aamir Khan, the lead, has others which are well made. Bollywood movies can have fairly low production standards but a number of actors and directors are insisting upon complete scripts and higher standards prior to signing up for projects.

I'll be interested to hear how you like it. I'm trying to get up to 75% in terms of watching foreign made versus Hollywood dreck and finding it easier to do so as time passes.

[clarice]

Early N E farmers used to use lobsters for fertilizer. I love them.I love shrimp, too.

[Stephanie accidentally OnT?]

Drambuie must be drunk heated for best effect. Yum!

[rich@gmu]

a florida fumble, after they got their first, first down ...

[Jane]

Well I'm glad I'm not alone on the lobstah thing - and you are right about the butter Marlene.

[rich@gmu]

Chubb, GA running back, has a hundred yards rushing ... in the first quarter.

[rich@gmu]

ha ... bad snap, qb had to chase it down for a 12 yard lose ...

[rich@gmu]

ha ... fake fg for a td ... and the x-pt is god (they had a false start and had to rekick) ...

might make it interesting til half time.

[BR]

Ahhhhhmen, the All Blacks, my favorites!

[BR]

There's actually a better picture with all four men with their great legs, but I can't find the url now.

[rich@gmu]

swapping out Ref's ... how bad is florida? so bad that the ref can only look at it for about a quarter and a half.

[BR]

Ah, here they are!

[narciso]

so it's not merely muschamp, an interesting view into what ISIS does, and where it comes from:

http://www.smh.com.au/world/the-islamic-state-prisoner-and-the-intelligence-chief-20141031-11eoh2.html?

[matt]

Is that the Red Hot Chili Peppers?

[rich@gmu]

narciso-

it is mostly him, but wow they are bad and going to be bad for a couple of years. mercifully the Mushchump era will end at the end of the season.

surprised they are up 14-7 in this game.

[Miss Marple]

narciso, I notice in that article that the sheiks in control of that town repeatedly asked Baghdad and WASHINGTON for wepons drops and assistance, which were refused.

The blood of those people, particularly the executed 2 small boys, are on Obama's hands.

I am ashamed of our government.

[Danube on iPad]

Miss M, it's my understanding that the govt. in Baghdad would not permit the weapons to be umported, for fear they would ultimately be used against Iraq.

[Miss Marple]

Danube, They also requested help from Washington.

"I am left marveling at the mental acuity of liberals." - T.M.

Mmmmm, no, Tommy me lad, I suspect that you meant to say pedantic, as in the verbose writings of your own. In fact, you have nay even a point here, lady ..., er, laddy.

[Cat]

This is at least the second time In recent months, Tom, that you have said or implied (in so many words) that you admire, respect and perhaps even envy the sleazy and slippery beliefs of slick street hustlers like the POS in the White House, Hillary Clinton, Al Sharpton, Bill Clinton and their ilk. From which we can conclude what? Just ask'n?
