The "racists aren't as polite as smokers" bit was the funniest part. "Do you mind if I'm racist in here? Oh. Okay. I'll just step outside for a bit of racism, then."

I didn't see any money thrown. I was thinking about how much the content of his shows vary when the rude drunk woman was distracting him. I think they probably don't vary much because he pulled himself back to his topic very well (but without seeming like he was trying particularly). Though I'm sure his stream of consciousness must allow for some ad libbing from gig to gig.

The hard thing with Eddie is actually breaking out individual jokes to quote (though that racist/smoker bit was funny). I liked the CroMagnon Trading Spaces bit. And the passport/born in Yemen bit.

Please, then, keep Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson et al. behind those closed doors.

1. Last week I saw Eddie Izzard's standup, Sexie. It was pretty good. Not as good as his act where he goes into the history of the naming of Englebert Humperdink (or however it's spelled). Enjoyed it.

TM

We saw it on Saturday night. Quite good. Although the Humperdink bit is hard to top, the Hamlet soliliquoy done by the Neanderthal was pretty entertaining.

Are you kidding me here. Read "Junction City, Oregon."
Where people say "I'm going to do the warsh."
Those guys are probably hot in comparison to the toothless dudes in the wheat fields.

Oh, I wish we could, but there are some bad seeds in every field. At least we have Jimmy Carter to put in the balance as well.

Hey all you Texans. If you are in the Dallas area, can you send me a PM?

Of course since letting anyone know you are "on the clock" is a disqualifying event, this is all theory. There is a box. The radio ratings, however, have a really annoying diary. Again, in theory.

Unless you actually cook, which, in addition to being cheaper, means one can stay away from processed food additives quite easily.

BR(yes, I know, may not be cheaper for the time spent, and cooking one's own BBQ sauce is undoutbedly an onerous burden. Nevermind baking bread, but bread is just empty calories, anyway.)C

Ford?

In case you have $150k to spend and you refuse to buy an import.

Hey, that's about what I spent repairing my Ford! D'you think they'd just give a new one?

Tell me about it - I have been given a cross and several child's prayer books for the fetus as well as a stuffed dog that prays aloud when you squish it, by well-meaning people who don't consider that not everyone thinks like they do. I'll probably give the stuff to some church's donate-toys-n-stuff program at X-mas.

I'm starting to rethink my ridicule of suing the food industry for health problems. Just when I started shopping at an incredibly expensive health food store to keep away from unnatural partially-hydrogenated-whatsits-and-weird-chemical-additives because doctors are saying it's so bad for you, companies are suddenly taking all this stuff out of their products with no detrimental impact on taste that I've noticed. Why did these chumps think it was okay to feed us this garbage until now? I'm really getting emotionally distressed over this...

Wonder what they'd do if you gave their kid a corn-baby at Lammas to sacrifice for the harvest?

Well, would they please stand up and be counted so we can do this thing by agreement?

I agree - I recently became acquainted with a room called the kitchen for that very reason. Now it's becoming obsessive, but that is to be expected from me.

But it's kind of about education as well. I can read all kinds of stuff that tells me what is good and bad to eat because I am educated and know where to look. Someone that is not educated may have no idea that he is purchasing crap. The answer is that he should educate himself but I don't think that's realistic or fair.
