22158. judithathome - 7/2/2007 9:21:22 PM And you know what I love the most about your face? The crinkly smile lines around your eyes...shows a great lust for life and amusement at all it entails. 22159. jexster - 7/2/2007 9:22:23 PM Dead Kennedys
How does a Kiwi Conchord know about the Dead Kennedys?????
Jello Biafra RIP
Ran for Mayor of SF 1979 if I recall 22160. jexster - 7/2/2007 9:23:17 PM Yes No..a he...Sammy 22161. Ms. No - 7/2/2007 10:30:50 PM I got to see the DKs once when I was in highschool. They played in a skating rink. It was pretty awesome! 22162. alistairConnor - 7/2/2007 10:31:09 PM Ah used to do DKs medleys with my mates in the NZ Labour Party.
"Too drunk" was on the NZ top ten for months, despite no radio play and the name of the song itself being censored.
Is he dead? I remember his wedding photos... he and Mrs Biafra, and all the guests, wore flaccid-penis masks. 22163. Ms. No - 7/2/2007 10:38:15 PM Uh, Biafra's not dead, though. 22164. Ms. No - 7/2/2007 10:39:04 PM Jello Biafra 22165. arkymalarky - 7/3/2007 3:35:33 PM Headache's finally gone after two long days and the weather's supposed to drop from nearly 100F up here at almost 9000ft to the more normal 70s for highs. So my vacation begins today. See y'all in a couple of weeks as I entertain myself on the long drive home with my thumb typing practice! 22166. Ms. No - 7/3/2007 4:11:49 PM 100F? At that altitude??? Good gravy!
Glad your headache's gone and I know you're going to have a great time. See you when you get back! 22167. alistairconnor - 7/3/2007 4:46:07 PM I'll take some of those degrees...
OK I could get used to spring being the new rainy season. But summer as the monsoon season... please no. We generally get heat storms in June or July, but we're getting the storms without the heat. 22168. Ms. No - 7/3/2007 4:54:56 PM I'll trade you some heat for some rain. It's dry as a bone here and we're supposed to be at 103F tomorrow. Not how I was looking forward to spending the 4th of July but there's a pool at one of the two parties I'm going to so that'll be nice.
22169. alistairconnor - 7/3/2007 5:29:40 PM I blame the Irish. There's been this big depression hanging over the emerald isle for so many weeks that I think it should be termed a nervous breakdown. Actually I think some mad Irish scientists have dreamed it up as a means of striking the hereditary enemy : you will observe that half of England is under water with heavy flooding.
We're just getting some collateral backwash. 22170. Ms. No - 7/3/2007 5:58:16 PM I suppose there is a certain validity to the stereotype of Irish melancholy. That's actually one of my half-baked semi-scientific theories: that clinical depression traces through Irish heredity.
As for being able to control the elements, you'll have to develop that theory on your own. ;-> 22171. judithathome - 7/3/2007 6:52:00 PM We have more rain total here at the first part of July than we usually have by year's end. It has rained every frickin' day for the past month. My front step on the porch is totally GREEN from moss and algae.
I haven't been able to go to the pool for 10 days now...of course, last week I had pseudo-pneumonia and couldn't go anyhow but now, it's because of the RAIN.
This is utterly insane, to have Fourth of July cancelled because of too much rain...the lakes around here are CLOSED tomorrow; they aren't letting anyone in boats or on foot into the picnic and lake areas of at least 4 local lakes.
I've lived in this town since I was 3 years old and there has never been a more bizarre summer on record. Back in 1928, they had 11.58 inches of rain the month of June and we missed breaking that record this year by less than half an inch. Of course, I wasn't here in 1928 but I know since the 50s, there have only been maybe three Fourth of July dates with rain...and that was for only half a day each time.
Tell me again that the weather isn't changing here on Earth...and I'll say bullshit! 22172. concerned - 7/3/2007 7:29:53 PM
You should rejoice, JAH. Fewer of your homies will be blowin' their fingers off.
Where I'm at, we had a somewhat late spring, and a few very hot days in early June (upper '90's). For the last couple of weeks, it's been mild and usually pleasant ('60's to the '80's) with occasional rain.
Very weather like weather, I must say.
22173. Ms. No - 7/3/2007 7:45:33 PM Man, I'm bored again. This archiving project is putting me to sleep and I hate the fact that I feel nearly no desire to work. I mean, that's just not like me. I stare at this mind-numbing stuff and feel guilty about getting paid for all the moments that I drift off.
Bleh. It's a horrendous project, but it would be infinitely better if they had somebody working on it with me. Two people could get this done five times as quickly and we'd be able to keep each other engaged in the project.
sheesh. 22174. jexster - 7/3/2007 10:18:25 PM Hey Wonks! Were you in Baton Rouge circa 1965-66?????
If so you'll no doubt fondly remember....
22175. alistairConnor - 7/3/2007 10:30:59 PM Don't know about Wonk, but I'd certainly heard that before.
Possibly my favourite musical period. The complete Stax singles collection has been released recently as eight CDs. I bought the one that had the most Booker T and the MGs, I wasn't too familiar with the other stuff but I love it all. I think I'll buy the set. 22176. jexster - 7/3/2007 11:20:56 PM The only band of the era from Baton Rouge - possibly the only musical group ever from BR to make it internationally!
Great song!
22177. wonkers2 - 7/4/2007 1:44:48 AM I left Baton Rouge in 1953 and have only been back a few times since. Hank Williams was king when I was there.
