Missing the Paigow (et al.) [sniff]

A fascinating story about a gay indian - or apparently - a gay man pretending to be an indian, and fooling everyone under the sun:

the Story of Nasdijj

It's long - but a heck of an expose

Now I just don't know what to think about Manson. I mean, I feel really bad about the clean cut paper boy with the bow tie whose picture Diane posted, and I tend to agree with her compelling argument that maybe this kid did not deserve to die a brutal and random death, no matter how cool Manson is/was. On the other hand, your portrayal of Manson as a complex figure who was maybe motivated by factors beyond drug-fuled blood lust has really gotten me to thinking. You also got me mad at the ingrates who don't want to share in their friends' childrens' religious rites and accompanying parties. Anyhoo, Manson is clearly a controversial figure about whom reasonable people can disagree.

innocent paperboy? go back and look at him. dressed for the prom- what do you think he intended to do to his underage date? maybe Tex was also nothing more than an instrument of good? but we need not go so far afield. Someone named Tex killed him. not manson.

Diane may argue they lived in the same community and thus they bear responsibility for each others' acts. But you and Taxwonk share this community- should you be responsible for his post quality?

You really need to make your wife take the keyboard away when you drink. We're starting to wonder if it's time for an intervention. Even Sebby.

Say someone (me) had their mail stolen while they were away for the Xmas holidays, and thereafter filing a police report and US mail report.

He later finds out that, apparently, that the thief apparently cashed one of those incessant credit card advance checks that this particular credit card company (Capital One) sends you unsolicited every two weeks.

Say he immediately reports the fraud (immediately being relative, since it took 4 attempts (3 hang ups) and two hours to get past the phone options, initial person in India and get a supervisor) and is finally told they will freeze the fraudulent check charge and mail further information.

Say he receives a new statement - in the new account number - 25 days later, and it still shows the charge, now plus a late charge and interest on the whole thing.

Say he calls the credit card company, and after wasting another hour of being passed around, he is told that - yes, nothing has been done - so sorry, however, you have to call back monday since that's not our job and the division of the fraud department you need to speak to is only open during the week.

I'm sure someone has experience with this type of nightmare.

Besides writing a complaint to Capital One directly about this entire mess, which are the other proper government agencies to complain to?

How I could have gotten to a place where I not only accepted but actually embraced the drug-fueled killing spree of Manson and his so-called "family," I don't know. Anyway, thanks again for setting me back on the path of righteousness and making me realize that brutal killings by insane people are not as "cool" and "fun" as this movie suggests.

You are quite welcome, Flower. It is mine and Penske's duty to keep you on the path of righteousness, walking with the saviour JC, and denouncing Satan as manifested in Rock and Roll, orange fabrics and Bruce.

No. No. Good was locked up in the pen with Mary Brunner on the night of the Tate/LaBianca murders. Neither communicated with Tex about the murders. Sorry, you can't pin this one on Sandra.

Say someone was pretty drunk one day when he received a credit card solicitation enclosing a check, and say he thinks he might have...

The proper government agencies have been defunded in the last few years. Free markets, baby!

I was watching U of Minnesota b-ball this weekend. They play on a raised court, so the first few rows are basically at eye level to the court.

You know when a player goes flying into the first few rows of a normal court- no one usually gets hurt (at least since Rodman retired). I was thinking that I had never seen anyone go off a raised court- but if a player did people would tend to get hurt worse. it seems more dangerous for both fan and player. Anyone seen enough games there to know?

I don't know the answer to your question, but I had to tell you that I love the new sig line, Hank.

These musicians are totally retarted when they try to make the Manson thing so cool. Charlie was short, smelled, his ideas were unoriginal, the chicks around him except maybe 1 or 2 were zitty flakes with unwashed hair, disco mitts and were clingy. The whole group ratted each other out just to score a few pieces of chocolate from the local cops (seriously!). They didn’t know shit about the White Album and after knifing a middle aged woman and her husband (the Labiancas) they couldn’t even spell “Healter Skelter” right. Yeah, those murders were really cool, especially the first one – “Tex”, a 6’3 dude attacks this young teenager (a paperboy):


and is such a pussy he shoots the kid 4 times at point blank, just to be sure. How these fuckers got elevated to “cool” and ended up on "hip" t-shirts and shit is beyond me.

Yeh, uh... you're nuts.

Shhhnaap! You foiled him! I was thinking about pinning it on Sandra also, but you've slammed that argument. I don't know who I'll blame it on now. I'm fucked.

You've won this one, but we will meet again.

The cows have certainly come home to roost, haven't they? Slave is seeewww hoist on his own petard. He was going to call a govt agency to help unwind his problem, as their snap servicce and immediate attention would be the only thing between him and irreprable credit damage. But nobody will answer his call. No one will come to the phone and quickly dispatch his problem for him. He will be left to fight Big Credit alone! How on Earth will he surmount the enemy without the speedy, wily arm of government coming to his aid, turning on a dime and forcing his enemies to do the right thing?

The right-hand ring is a concept dreamed up a few years ago as a way of selling diamond rings to single women who can afford a big honking diamond but can't land a man rich enough to buy one for them. They're touted as a "you go girl" kind of thing. It's appalling, really.

I have one. It isn't tasteful at all. I love it. I named it Barcelona (because it's gaudy = Gaudi).
