Sebby, how'd that Arizona scouting trip go?

A 'lil slow for my tastes.

BUT, they are pressing bills out there awfully fast, in very large amounts. Lots of jobs and business opps. I think Google just moved a slew of operations there.

R/E out there is a wild crapshoot. Musical chairs. It will come falling down for the cats building high end shit, as I think the sprawl is as big as it'll get. But comm development and cheap middle class housing is going to be a cash machine for a long time.

ETnote that I have the Kids in the Hall theme running through my head. Thank you, Shadowy Men from a Shadowy Planet. I blame all of you.

Broken Arrow is a Tulsa suburb, i believe. Broken Bow is in the SE corner, in the Ark-La-Tex. Bow Legs is central.

My ex-Aunt said the best actress breasts in the 80s were Jaqualine Bisset- she had a small part in Class and saw them IRL. but I never saw them.

Do you think that the person who started the site planted the DC board and NY board posts or am I overly cynical in my old age?

Finally, anyone else click the link to the right of the page to see the Whacked Car? I'd love to meet this person. Park, is that you?

someone stole the Thurgreed sock.

4 up, 9 down - no real comment needed. Then again, I really liked Cincy. I am going to refrain from betting on Bush's State of the Union speech:

In President George W Bush's 2006 State of the Union address, how many times will the President say the words: Patriot Act?

0-2 times 2/1
3-5 times 3/2
6-9 times 3/1
10 or more times 6/1

In President George W Bush's 2006 State of the Union address, how many times will the President say the word: Evil?

0-2 times 1/1
3-5 times 3/2
6-9 times 7/2
10 or more times 7/1

How many standing ovations will President W. Bush receive during his State of the Union Address?

0-15 9/2
16-30 4/1
31-40 3/1
41-50 5/2
51-60 3/1
61-70 6/1
70 or more standing ovations 8/1

Is this a poll for nicest itty bitties? If so, I sure hope Michael Corleone's first wife (the Sicilian that got blowed up) were included. They were as cute as her driving skills were bad. Dark nippies too. Mmmmmn.

Jamie Curtis in "Trading Places."

Hornyable mention for 1970s movie I didn't see until the '80s: "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble" clip from "Kentucky Fried Movie" (1977).

Catch 22. Only a fag would have seen it.

Happy 100, Albert Hoffman!

It pains me that Pat Robertson's big mouth has jeapordized the Jesusland theme park on the Sea of Galilee.

I was looking forward to the walking on water ride.

How studly am I right about now? Vince Vaughn, have fun with my rejects. I hear Juliette Lewis is free too if you want to tag that.

Heh: "For crying out loud, they've been in the league nearly 40 years and their greatest contribution to the NFL is the Ickey Shuffle."

So, the sophisticates on my desk are up to their usual tricks. Today's antics included the following:

There's one guy (call him Ralph) who is a bit homophobic. [Unrelated editorial commentary: I think he tries not to be, but so far, with limited success.] Earlier this week, there was discussion about a male vocal performer, and I inquired as to whether anyone was a fan of this guy (who is -- as far as I know -- NotGay). Ralph chimes in with, "I think Jim likes him -- in a Brokeback Mountain kind of way...". Hilarity ensues with various insinuations using the code phrase "Brokeback Mountain".

So, just now, some of the younger jokers decide to send Ralph an e-mail inserting an image from Google, which (and I wish I were high-tech enough to know how to do this) automatically became the screensaver picture upon Ralph's opening the e-mail.

The image (which comes up on huge computer screens -- 3 across) was this lovely shot. (N[exactly]SFW)

I'm going to miss this place when I get shitcanned.

I question whether the Brokeback Mountain jokes = "hilarity". But I will definitely be wanting the code for the automatic screensaver. (That picture is perfect too. So frolicky!)

I think you should send it to "Hank".
