Sweet and low-down?

After that string of pointless posts, mine was suppose to mean something?

You expect me to distinguish today from any other day?

Actually, that Johnny Whatshisname has been awfully damn good with the small ball.

I haven't yet come to terms with the fact that he is on our team. I cannot acknowledge him until I do. (It may take awhile.)

I don't know. Why don't we ask the Queen and Princess of Pointless Posts? I'm just a lowly jester.

The May Day parade is making its way past my office, and I'm guessing the anarchists are more pissed off than usual. The immigrants have totally swiped their holiday. Nary a black bandana to be seen. I guess it's safe to go to Starbucks.

Something's being chanted right now. I can't make it out, but it sounds suspiciously like something out of Dora the Explorer.

I know. I usually make a killing but today it's like I can't even give these molotov cocktails away.

And all the people sing:

C'mon, vaminos
Everybody let's go
C'mon let's get to it
Cause I know that we can do it

Is your entire life movie quotes and lyrics?

If I am Originally Whiffing here, please ignore, but some might consider it ironic that you criticize Coltrane for his limited posting repertoire.

When in doubt, go Gershwin.

Instead, why don't you call the whole thing off?

Am I supposed to feel bad for the person who set up the banner advertisement to circle downtown LA today, in light of the fact that even I can't read it from 20-some floors up because of the haze/fog/smog/clouds/whatever, or amused that his/her clever marketing ploy was whamboozled? Cause I'm leaning towards the amused side. Unless it is a banner ad for free healthcare or something. Which I bet it isn't.

My update for you is that people are yelling from somewhere in downtown LA, but not Pershing Square (which is empty - no one to run the usual vendor carts, I guess). And the helicopters of the 27 news agencies are mainly hovering in one place, but a few are flying in circles.

ncs out.

LAPD officers have been going around town blowing up LA Times newspaper racks.

The crime -- liberal journalism? Perhaps. But the proximate cause of today's explosions were movie promotions gone horribly awry.

• SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - A newspaper promotion for Tom Cruise’s upcoming “Mission: Impossible III” got off to an explosive start when a county arson squad blew up a news rack, thinking it contained a bomb.
  
  The confusion: the Los Angeles Times rack was fitted with a digital musical device designed to play the “Mission: Impossible” theme song when the door was opened. But in some cases, the red plastic boxes with protruding wires were jarred loose and dropped onto the stack of newspapers inside, alarming customers.
  
  Sheriff’s officials said they rendered the news rack in this suburb 35 miles north of downtown Los Angeles “safe” after being called to the scene Friday by a concerned individual who thought he’d seen a bomb.
  
  Times officials said the devices were placed in 4,500 randomly selected news boxes in Los Angeles and Ventura counties in a venture with Paramount Pictures designed to turn the “everyday news rack experience” into an “extraordinary mission.”
  
  It was just that, at least for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department arson squad, which destroyed the box.
  
  “This was the least intended outcome. We weren’t expecting anything like this,” said John O’Loughlin, the Times’ senior vice president for planning.

Dumbshits. Hopefully this will cause them to reconsider their planned marketing tie-ins coinciding with the release of Resident Evil: The Afterlife.

What did they do to promote Pet Cemetary?

but since she moved away from her standard simple news quotes to an attempted slam, should we really criticize her? what is the sound of one hand clapping?

Same here.

Luckily, he doesn't look like he used to.
