16935. Ulgine Barrows - 10/7/2005 11:47:18 AM Every morning I've got a new chance
I want to land the part of Eddie in The Stranger Dance
Cause he gets to swordfight the duke
He kidnaps the queen
And you think the score's set but you can't truly see
Til you know the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
Til you know the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
Every morning I pull on them pants
Mmm but I don't get out so much since I acquired St. Vitus dance
I turn the news on a while
I practice my scene
You think things are straight but they're not what they seem
Til you know the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
In his coat and his boots and his blackheart machine
No, no one knows the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
Every morning I've got a new chance
I want to land the part of Eddie in The Stranger Dance
He makes love to the duke
He swordfights the queen
He steals the whole show in his last dying scene
No one sees the two sides of Monsieur Valentine

Untouchable for life
Camera on. 16937. Ulgine Barrows - 10/7/2005 12:05:12 PM I'm so diligent,
and for some it's just as well 16938. Ulgine Barrows - 10/7/2005 12:09:11 PM Don't you look at my girlfriend! 16939. Ulgine Barrows - 10/7/2005 12:13:53 PM Every morning I've got a new chance

That's what I'm going to to do with my husband. 16940. Magoseph - 10/7/2005 12:44:04 PM ~Spoon
That's what I'm going to to do with my husband.
I'm glad you came to that conclusion.
16941. Magoseph - 10/7/2005 2:57:41 PM Things aren’t going well for the sweater, Ms. No—I have to change Flexy’s expectations of my time if I want to be able to show off my knitting skills to my DIL. I just can’t be interrupted in the middle of a cable stitch whenever it’s necessary to buy or sell stocks, answer the phone, or make a salad, not to mention taking care Butch’s needs to take a walk or do his pooping.
I cannot give up my early morning’s activities on-line, nor can I my reading, grooming, exercising, and talking to my sons or my friends. Of course, Flexy comes first and he must be kept physically healthy and mentally challenged. I never realized before how well I did that the last two years I have been home full-time. Anyway, I am on my way to Chicago where I plan to find what I want in a knitting store worth of its name.
Mac, Ali, have a lovely weekend!
16942. Macnas - 10/7/2005 3:20:22 PM You too Mago! 16943. PelleNilsson - 10/7/2005 5:20:47 PM It's your ill-fitting shoes, Loar. I've had that happening to me. It is no single incident, but regular pressure on the nail's growth zone that causes the attempt to grow a new one, which will fail. 16944. thoughtful - 10/7/2005 6:54:28 PM Ahgg! How can you wear such tight shoes for so long.
I gave up heels and the inevitable corns they brought years ago. My flats with the big toe box may not be that fashionable, but my feet thank me every day. 16945. ScottLoar - 10/7/2005 7:03:09 PM Dear Thoughful,
If the shoes are tight I wouldn't wear them. Can you not credit me some sense? My work, my ego, my wife do not require me to be any more than I am. I sure as hell don't need fashionable shoes to carry me through what I do each day. People know who I am without looking at my shoes, nor do they need to look at my job title.
Pelle,
Perhaps you're right. I've got a pair I wore once and never since. Hadn't given it much thought until you mentioned so. 16946. thoughtful - 10/7/2005 7:11:02 PM Scotty, my comment was to pelle, not you...but whatever. 16947. arkymalarky - 10/8/2005 3:40:54 PM I accidentally wore my house shoes to work the other day. I got out of the car thinking how comfortable my feet were, looked down, and there it was. Nothing to do, because I live too far away to run home and change shoes. Luckily they're black rubber soled shoes rather than fuzzy bunnies and not too many kids noticed. 16948. Magoseph - 10/8/2005 7:30:01 PM My feet are in bad shape after the day in the city--the last time I wore high heel shoes was in July. From now on, I'm wearing my French satiny high heel mules in the house, at least in the evening.

There's a reminiscence of an interview with Bush floating around the web that done by a woman named Carole Coleman . It took place just before a visit by Bush to Ireland as the war was beginning. I remember some elements of it, but not the whole deal. IAC, in her recounting she has several references like this:
Afterwards I bumped straight into the taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, who was waiting to go on air.
“Howya,” he said, winking.
“I hope this hasn’t caused you too much hassle, taoiseach,” I blurted.
What's a "taoiseach"? 16950. Macnas - 10/10/2005 11:16:31 AM Our Prime Minister. Nice guy actually.
Carol Colemans interview caused a bit of a stir in Washington, as she was a wee bit sharp and did not defer to GW, cutting across him and firing one question after another. Now, as you know, 'though I have commented here before on the lack of (IMO) of real journalism in US politics, this style is not alien to you folk either.
Bertie, our then and now taoiseach, would be well used to having to fight his corner with the likes of Caroline, and would think nothing of it either. But GW, well, he and his handlers were livid, and were making sure she would not have long in Washington after that. He is not questioned in such a manner apparently, and was very visibly annoyed during the interview. He came across as an angry shrew of a man.
Worse than that, in other terms, was the reaction to the interview and Carol herself in the blog-world. Vile, vitriolic and spiteful would be tame terms to use in fact.
So, as far as I'm concerned, Carol Coleman:1, GWB & his truck:0.
16951. Macnas - 10/10/2005 11:21:31 AM Try downloading the interview and have a listen, it's not as good as watching it, but you'll get the flavour of it.
16952. PelleNilsson - 10/10/2005 12:23:09 PM It is my sincere conviction that suppliers who pack their stuff in thick shrink-wrap plastic should be shot. 16953. Macnas - 10/10/2005 12:25:06 PM I second that. 16954. jayackroyd - 10/10/2005 2:46:46 PM Bertie, our then and now taoiseach, would be well used to having to fight his corner with the likes of Caroline, and would think nothing of it either.
Someone remarked to me the other day that she wished Bush had to put up with questioning from the Congress the way Blair does from Parliment. He wouldn't last a month, she said.
She has a point. The idea that the president should not be asked difficult questions, and should be held to answering them, doesn't seem all that counter-intuitive to me.
