24473. anomie - 9/29/2008 4:41:05 PM Seems we're in the age when Jesus endorses vitamins and nutritional products sold through pyramid schemes. I've seen quite a bit of this on TV the last few years. I guess there are many mansions in heaven filled with Amway products and plenty of fiber pills. 24474. judithathome - 9/30/2008 12:03:41 AM No shit! ;-) 24475. anomie - 9/30/2008 12:41:31 AM I wouldn't say that necessarily. What with the fiber and all... 24476. jexster - 9/30/2008 4:11:03 AM My nephew is about to enter high school. He is a pitcher and hopes to make the Elkins High team (Tejas State Champs)
Real Friday Night Lights shit...Anyway, he's now on the Elkins Fall Ball Team 14-16 YO...His dad's the coach
This shot is of a Hightower kid flailing at Sean's curve....
Too cute
 24477. wonkers2 - 9/30/2008 4:42:01 AM He shouldn't be allowed to throw curves. 24478. jexster - 9/30/2008 5:53:30 PM 24468
Is I3 gay or God's plan??? 24479. anomie - 9/30/2008 7:09:25 PM Gotta be God's plan. Gay would have added some color and straight lines, no? 24480. judithathome - 10/2/2008 4:09:32 PM My little gentleman caller came over before his Little League game yesterday afternoon. His (size 6) jersey sports the number 1 on the back. My friend was here and asked him, "How come you get to wear number one?" and quick as a whip, he answered, "Because my granddad is the coach of the team!" 24481. wonkers2 - 10/2/2008 4:37:31 PM Sounds like nepotism to me! 24482. iiibbb - 10/2/2008 4:57:56 PM Message # 24478
Neither gay or god's plan. Just awesome.
P is making pillows... so the couch will get color eventually. 24483. magoseph - 10/8/2008 5:58:49 PM Hilarious!
24484. magoseph - 10/9/2008 1:12:35 PM What are your predictions for the coming winter nationwide? 24485. judithathome - 10/9/2008 2:20:09 PM I think it's going to be really cold this winter where I am...the squirrels' tails are really bushy.
And I think more people will lose their homes, food prices will go up, people will freeze in their homes (if they still live in them) because the costs of heating fuel are going up, and the Democrats will be blamed for everything George Bush has caused no matter who is President. 24487. magoseph - 10/9/2008 5:19:02 PM Jen, I moved your post here: Message # 37641 in thread 155. 24488. Jenerator - 10/9/2008 5:23:32 PM Why not move the post that precipiated my response? It's political in nature too! 24489. judithathome - 10/9/2008 6:23:23 PM Yes, it WAS political in nature and I apologize for dragging politics into the Cafe.
And in your response, Jen, you were absolutely correct...it WILL and we will.
So, back to Magos original intention: what do YOU think is going to happen this winter...let's say, with the weather.
Do you recall having a cool autumn like this before? Here in Texas, I mean...I can't recall the nighttime temperatures dropping as low as they are currently doing this early in the season...not for a long time. 24490. alistairConnor - 10/10/2008 1:10:17 AM Cold autumn over here too.
My girlfriend came up with a really elegant malapropism this morning...
I had left the top couple of buttons of my shirt undone.
What she meant to say was,
"Boutonne ta chemise. Tu ressemble à un Gitan"
that is,
"Button up your shirt. You look like a Gipsy".
(Mildly amusing and slightly racist)
BUT she's got a bit of an accent in French, and what she actually said was
"Boutonne ta chemise. Tu ressemble à un giton"
that is,
"Button up your shirt. You look like a rent boy".
I had to explain the word "giton" for her. It comes from Petronius's Satyricon - Giton was the protagonist's boyfriend. 24491. jexster - 10/10/2008 1:14:51 AM OOOO rent boys!!! 24492. David Ehrenstein - 10/11/2008 4:53:23 PM Self-Portrait Day at Dennis Cooper's
All the Dennisistas have contributed photos -- including yours truly. 24493. iiibbb - 10/11/2008 6:12:35 PM The job my wife is gunning for has finally been announced. She just has to make it through the office of personnel management and make the 'cert'. This is no small task as it's usually low-paid people trying to evaluate someone's PhD credentials. It can be very subjective on their part, and very frustrating on the applicant's part. Is a Quantitative Ecology course an "Ecology" course if it has a STAT number... that kind of crap.
Keep your fingers crossed for us. We'll find out early December probably.
I am very nervous for her.
