I was watching Graham Norton last night. He is a British talk show host and his show is so funny, I was laying in bed last night with tears streaming down my face…that funny.
He had this guy on who had had his penis tattoo’d. 50 hours of tattoo work. They didn’t show it, he went behind a screen and a woman from the audience was left to describe it…she did a poor job…but Marilyn Manson was a guest and he had to check it out…and it scared him!!
So, of course, I had to Google it and check this out!
It depends on what is on it. The card I just pulled has some pics of me at an anti war rally in DC and some, let’s say personal pics. 😀 This card will probably go a while.
It’s only international that they are doing it now, but I need to get in the habit to make sure that I take care on every trip.
What pisses me off is the potential for industrial espionage. Which I think is really wrong. They can not just look at your computer, but copy the files and confiscate the whole computer for as long as they choose.
If they were to take this one, it’s $400 and will have nothing on it.
If they ever implement those taser wristlets for flying, I will have to get a new job. I won’t put some taser bracelet on and leave it to some flight attendant to determine who they want to zap. Fuck that.
The thing that I don’t understand about the copying of files on laptops, etc., is that big business doesn’t seem to be screaming bloody murder. At least I haven’t heard of it.
I haven’t either (heard any outcry), but I think companies are making people upload files and keep their computers empty.
And I think it will affect foreign businesses more. All things considered, would you, if you owned a biz overseas, want to come to the US knowing this?
So big business puts it on the employees to keep their secrets safe? That makes no sense whatsoever. Why would they be silent about this? Making too much money elsewhere?
I don’t know esl, Ohio can be pretty “southern”. They get a lot of people from Tennessee and Kentucky who move up there for work. Might have been a “lateral” move without the good weather.
There was something in the local papers a few months back about a local fellow who had tattooed virtually every square inch of his body. A tattooed penis is nothing when you’ve seen a tattooed “taint.”
The guy is on disability because of a fucked-up kidney, as i recall, which might, just might be the result of covering his entire epidermis in ink. How anyone can live on disability and continue to pay people to stick ink in your flesh is a mystery.
Buddy Ebsen was originally supposed to be the Tin Woodsman in “The Wizard of Oz” but the make-up htey used had aluminum dust in it and it almost killed him. He got so sick he had to drop out and Ray Bolger took his place.
As riveting as this conversation is, I have found other things to focus on momentarily. But the two of youse are always the mostest important things on my “mind.”
Iolair, I realize I am a bit odd at times, but I think that tattoo’d p.p. is one if the coolest tats I have ever seen. The colors are stunningly lush (probably helps that I love lizards and dragons – having a tattoo of each myself) and I have to give the guy props for having the, uhm, balls to do it.
If the guy wasn’t pushing 70, I’d have loved to check it out personally. It’s just damned cool!!
Night, all. TRoS, great seeing your pixels (I so love your avitar, it always makes me smile. Such a cute little bear face!)
Exit Stage Left, I’m very sorry to hear the bad news. I have missed you on the Think Fast Threads. I wish you the best during these very hard times.
I have been there myself, no fun at all. I kept my friends very close that seemed to help alot. Also, sorry to hear you won’t be coming to Ohio. It would have improved the state 10 fold.
I wonder if that joint that cooks steaks and lobster out on the street and has a zillion different tequilas is still in Cabo. I don’t really like Cabo but that place was cool…
Shayne, I have never heard of lemming stew. What is in it???
I hope you are having a great Sunday. I just got done trying a new recipe. It is Sour Cream Apple Pie. It smells really good but I have to refrig. for about 1 hour before eating.
Zooey if you ever get a chance try it out, it won’t disappoint you, if you like beaches. Not as commercialized like Mrytle Beach, cleaner than Virginia Beach, and not as packed as Ft. Lauderdale.
I stay at the same place every year and eat at the same great restaurants. Some of the best seafood I have ever had in my life. If you love peaches and fresh fruit, there is a quaint little farmers market right before you cross the very long bridge to get to the island. I love that market, every year I buy their homemade preserves and take them home with me.
I love it so much that I’m looking to buy a second home there in the future.
Sorry, Zooey I’m a little biased, can you tell. I made a big breakthrough with my son there also. He has a fear of large bodies of water. Last year he sat with us on a low beach chair and let the waves wash over him and had fun all day. That was one of the hardest things he has ever had to overcome. It was pretty incredible.
BTW thank you for always being such a sweet person.
Cape Hatteras is the farthest I have been down there, db. We explored that area for about one day. Do you remember before you take the ferry over to Ocracoke there is a five star restaurant with a bunch of yachts around it?
I stayed I think it was a best western there, right next door to that restaurant. The Breakwater (I think that is what the restaurant is called) has one of the best chefs. The food was awesome.
That was about ten years ago for me. At the time they had absolutely nothing to do there, to boring for me. After that we just stay at Kills Devil Hills all the time now.
Beer sounds good tonight for some reason.. That or Margaritas.
Hey kiddies! Cut me a slice of that stuff! I am packing and such but I will bbiab to enjoy a slice of life with you all.
Yummy, margaritas.
Isn’t it kind of silly to want pizza and beer on such a hot night?
I just LOVE super thin-sliced mushrooms on pizza, and lots of them.
I like the full veggie…tomatoes, spinach, onions, mushrooms, green peppers and if there is a dash of goat cheese, so much the better.
BTW, this is my new toy: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3981689&CatId=2814
That sounds divine, MizzJ.
Damn it. My email is down!
I feel so cut off. **shiver**
Is that your baby computer, MizzJ? I’ve never seen one so small.
I was watching Graham Norton last night. He is a British talk show host and his show is so funny, I was laying in bed last night with tears streaming down my face…that funny.
He had this guy on who had had his penis tattoo’d. 50 hours of tattoo work. They didn’t show it, he went behind a screen and a woman from the audience was left to describe it…she did a poor job…but Marilyn Manson was a guest and he had to check it out…and it scared him!!
So, of course, I had to Google it and check this out!
BE FOREWARNED! Not for the squeamish!
2.18 lbs. I am taking it with me on this 2 week trip.
Since border control has opted to steal shit at will, that is my new travel computer.
DHS fuckers.
Jesus fucking christ, how much did that guy have to pay the tattoo artist to hold onto his dick that long?
Where ya going, MizzJ? They won’t steal the little computer?
They might, but it has nothing on it. I pulled my card out of my phone, too.
I am going to Flagstaff and then Phila.
So every trip you could just put a fresh card in your electronics?
Or FedEx them to yourself!
At least Flagstaff is higher elevation — not so hot.
Don’t know about Philly.
It depends on what is on it. The card I just pulled has some pics of me at an anti war rally in DC and some, let’s say personal pics. 😀 This card will probably go a while.
It’s only international that they are doing it now, but I need to get in the habit to make sure that I take care on every trip.

If they were to take this one, it’s $400 and will have nothing on it.
It will be about the same in both…70’s and 80’s.
If they ever implement those taser wristlets for flying, I will have to get a new job. I won’t put some taser bracelet on and leave it to some flight attendant to determine who they want to zap. Fuck that.
The thing that I don’t understand about the copying of files on laptops, etc., is that big business doesn’t seem to be screaming bloody murder. At least I haven’t heard of it.
If things ever get bad enough that we’ll be required to wear such bracelets, I doubt most of us will be allowed to fly anyway.
Shit is really going downhill fast these days.
This is from the Graham Norton show with Kevin Bacon. Very, very funny!!
I haven’t either (heard any outcry), but I think companies are making people upload files and keep their computers empty.
And I think it will affect foreign businesses more. All things considered, would you, if you owned a biz overseas, want to come to the US knowing this?
IF they know it.
I’ve got it downloading. Graham Norton is hilarious.
Here are a couple more:
The last two were with Marilyn Manson. He’s a very bright guy…not that you could tell by this. I was surprised by how smart Manson is.
So big business puts it on the employees to keep their secrets safe? That makes no sense whatsoever. Why would they be silent about this? Making too much money elsewhere?
Marilyn Manson is totally bizarre, but he’s got a very sharp mind.
Honestly, Z, that is my question. Why is there no outrage from business? I have to think they just don’t know.
Obviously, big business needs to read more left wing blogs. 🙂
I was talking to one of my best friends who told me she didn’t know who she is voting for. To say I was taken aback is a bit of an understatement.
She and I are going to have a convo.
But that says what an effective job the anti-media is doing.
We’re hoping to have SCAAMD up and running in a few weeks.
If someone says they don’t know who they’re voting for, they are certainly not to be trusted with children or automobiles.
What is SCAAMD?
Sudden Citizen’s Action Against Media Distortion
http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/07/sudden-citizens-action-against.php
We’re moving right along. Once we have something going…believe me, I will be posting it far and wide.
I am going to go put some goo in my hair…bbiab.
Wow, that’s really interesting! Keep us posted!!
Sorry, my internet has been running very
S L O W L Y
today.
Goo???
Hair dye. It’s time for a color change.
Nice.
What’s the color of the day?
Dark brown.
Time to wash…bbiab.
Dark brown? I always picture you with dark brown hair. What was it before?
Geez, this party either needs more people, or more margaritas….
Anyone still here?
Ooooooooo…
Pizza… which one has the blubber bits on it?
OMG, look who the cat dragged in. 🙂
Where??? Where????
Is the wolf lurking around here somewhere?
Good evening, gentlemen. 🙂
TRoS, all of the pizzas have blubber bits — we’ve been waiting for you to take them off our hands.
The wolf hasn’t been around today. I think the pack is off at lemming chasing school.
I was just about to bail. Hi Z
Wow! Look at that gorgeous bear! Hello, handsome! Long time no see!
It was dark blonde, light brown, medium brown, reddish brown…and now it is dark brown.
Who knows what next week will bring.
How goes things, Jack?
Things suck very very badly 😦
Hiya, ESL! I missed your entry.
My head is spinning, MizzJ. 😀
***blush***
Evening, MsJoanne…
“Xcuse me… a pizza covered w/ blubber bits seems to be calling my name…
My marriage to the woman of my dreams came to a sudden end 12 days ago. I’m devastated and heartbroken.
What’s happening, Jack?
I’m so sorry, Jack.
Ya better make that “Remedial Lemming Chasing School”…
Damn, the bear got to the pizza before I did. Just my luck! 🙂
I am so very sorry to hear that, ESL.
Sheesh… speak of the devil…
Uh oh, this party just got a little more dangerous. 😉
Hey, Z…it’s ALL about change! 😀
I don’t know you, ESL, but condolences…
So I won’t be moving to Ohio after all 😦
The wolf hasn’t been around today. I think the pack is off at lemming chasing school.
et tu, Brutus!
Hiya, Shayne!!
Yeah, I know TRoS. I wished for more people, and look what happened!
Ok, the new Primeval is on…I’m gonna jet for an hour. BBIAB.
Dangerous???
Because of one, scrawny, lemming-hawkin’ wolf?
Pssssshaw…
Jack,
What can we do to help?
And so the wolf learns the bitter truth …
***snicker…***
Not much to do Z….I just hafta struggle through it. It hasn’t been pretty thus far.
but thanks for asking 🙂
Because of the TWO of you, TRoS. 🙂
Moi???
Dangerous???
***secretly flattered***
So I won’t be moving to Ohio after all
See? Every cloud has a silver lining.
Eh. Probably a bad idea to inject humor (however lame). Broken hearts are never funny.
Hi MJ, bye MJ.
Oh the bear’s all handsome, blah, blah, blah and that wolf chases lemmings blah, blah, blah.
Truth, YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
Good to see you back, TRoS. We’ve been overrun with seals and salmon lately. It’s difficult even to get through the door.
Jack,
The end of a marriage is never pretty. I’d send you an email for a more private chat, but the damn email is down.
My… my… my…
We seem to have hit a nerve here…
Drill on, I say… and hold the novocaine!!!
Oooooooooooo…
Seals AND salmon…
Hmmm… but not a single lemming to be seen.
Good work, Shayne!!!
Sorry to hear of your troubles esl.
Z…do you have access to my email from the sign-up thingie? I would like to hear from you when the email is back up.
Drill, drill, drill … who are you … John McCain? Well you’re certainly white enough. 👿
How can you have Internet access and no email?
Zooey, time to switch to gmail.
Hey gum…..I have been in FL for 15 years…methinks Ohio might have been a social upgrade :)~
I’m afraid anything I’d suggest would come across as flippant, ELS.
I’d suggest some alcohol… and any good wolf jokes you know…
Yep, Jack. I can see your email address from behind the scenes. I’ll be in touch.
It’s been so hot here, I think the tubes and wires melted. 🙂
Whoa… What. A. Zinger….
Wolf humor at its finest…
TRoS, you do know that’s not actually a wolf, right? It’s a (whisper) dog! Just another damn Husky!
gummitch,
It’s the local email server thingee. I think things are all backed up for some reason. The account comes up, but nothing is moving.
Ew, that sounds really gross.
Oh, geez… nice going, gummmitch.
She’s going to be bouncing off the walls for HOURS now. Years of therapy down the drain w/ one cheap shot.
“I am TOO a wolf… I am. I am. I am.”
I don’t know esl, Ohio can be pretty “southern”. They get a lot of people from Tennessee and Kentucky who move up there for work. Might have been a “lateral” move without the good weather.
hehe shayne…good point…lotsa good ol’ boys in Cincinnati from just over the river in Kentucky.
Thanks Z….that will be nice 🙂
I used to call upstate NY “The Outback”, or,
“Deliverance Country”…
***faint sound of banjos in the distance…***
Not much difference between western NY and Ohio.
It doesn’t take a wolf to muzzle one scrawny sheep.
Just saying.
And who are you calling “husky” MR. MAN!
“Husky”???
One lemming too many?
TRoS, yeah, with the video of “Babe” running on a loop in the background. The sheeps thought all dogs were “wuuulf!”
Baaaaaah!
Seen the insides of any nice dumpsters lately, TRoS?
bah ram ewe! bah ram ewe!
Well, gummitch…
Some folks lives are so pitiful…
***hint… hint…***
That illusions are all they have left…
Anybody want lamb chops?
Hah…
Don’t you wish…
You heard the goat above… it’s all Salmon and Seal around here these days…
Lemming kabobs?
Lemming meringue pie?
Lemming frittatas?
Goat?
Now the shit is gonna hit the fan….
That’s no goat, white boy. And you call yourself a predator.
Was there sugar on those blubber bits…?
Getting late here in the east. I think I’ll avail myself of some peace via sleep. Have a nice night all.
Oh… look…
Uh… did I hear someone mention sugar-coated blubber bits???
Goodnight esl. I hope tomorrow is a better day.
Goodnight, Jack.
non-sequitor
instead of continuing to drill for oil, we should just ban the sale of Clearasil.
No sugar for polar bears!! You need your teeth!
Huh, Iolair?
No sweets?
Bah…
Nevermind, I get it. 😳
Tough love, polar bear. 🙂
Goat? WTF? Blackface sheeps from Islay.
mutter mutter mutter
Goats. Baaaaaaaa.
***sniff… sniff***
But… but… my mama used ta let me have…
“Eskimo Pies”…
***Rim shot…*** Badda-bing!
Thank youuuu… thank youuuuuu… verrrrry much!
Yer a wunnerful audience…
Cept for that dog w/ the weight problem beating up that poor little rodent in the corner…
Oooops…
Ah… ah…
The wolf… yeah, that’s it… the wolf tole me ta say that…
OMG polar bear, that was awesome.
TRoS, I guess she got your goat. Heh heh heh.
Baaaa_urp. Sorry. Pizza and beer.
Ever see “Nanook of the North”?
I know… I know… sounds hokey… but it’s actually quite good.
Ooooooooooh… a sheep w/ an attitude…
Is that the beer, or perhaps Woolite, talking???
Tasty, huh?
Ms. Joanne,
“BE FOREWARNED! Not for the squeamish!”
Some things are just wrong.
But it did remind me of “Up Periscope!”
Wool lite?
He who is forewarned is forearmed, but he who is forearmed is half a octopus.
I think this party will be a classic….
There was something in the local papers a few months back about a local fellow who had tattooed virtually every square inch of his body. A tattooed penis is nothing when you’ve seen a tattooed “taint.”
The guy is on disability because of a fucked-up kidney, as i recall, which might, just might be the result of covering his entire epidermis in ink. How anyone can live on disability and continue to pay people to stick ink in your flesh is a mystery.
Or maybe not…
Talking about messing with yer epidermis…
Buddy Ebsen was originally supposed to be the Tin Woodsman in “The Wizard of Oz” but the make-up htey used had aluminum dust in it and it almost killed him. He got so sick he had to drop out and Ray Bolger took his place.
Well I’ve never been do insulted. I’ll be licking my wound til morning.
I think polar bears would look better in silver. 👿
Aluminum dust? Yikes.
What did Ray Bolger die from?
Dancing feet?
Happy! Happy!
Joy! Joy!
“Licking your wound”? Ha, is that what they’re calling it these days?
Two fellows were watching a dog lick his balls. One fellow says, “Gawd, I wish I could do that.”
Other fellow says, “I bet he’d let you if you gave him a biscuit.”
Oh, I t’ink you’s been plenty insulted plenty o’ times, wolfie…
=======
Actually, they learned their lesson on Ebsen and did Bolger’s make-up differently.
That why that old bit in “Goldfinger” worked the way it did – painting the woman w/ gold paint.
You basically suffocate.
Your skin is one of your organs, so to speak… and the cells in your mouth, throat, etc, are all specialized skin cells…
gummitch is on fire this evening. 😀
I guess the Blue Man guys better be careful!
Oooooooooo…
It looks like the goat and the wolf are gonna git into it now… tee hee…
Time ta sit back w/ a cold one ‘n a bowl of blubber bits ‘n jes watch…
Supposedly one needs to leave some bare skin, so’s it can still breathe, so to speak, when painting ones’ self completely.
I wouldn’t doubt the Blue Man Group indeed has to be careful.
Especially in dark alleys….
Hmmm…
***crickets…***
That’s what I was thinking…
Where’d everyone go?
I bet the wolf is off chasing her own tail…
“I’m gonna get you… I’m gonna get you…”
Heh, that’s funny. 😀
TRoS, can you send me a test email?
Hey! I’m here! I’m part of “everyone.” 😛
Uh, I meant to say…
Where did almost everyone go?
I just sent an email… did you get it?
I got it, thank you. Did you get my reply?
As riveting as this conversation is, I have found other things to focus on momentarily. But the two of youse are always the mostest important things on my “mind.”
Well la di da, gummitch. 🙄
Small town Karaoke is so weird…
Did you sing?
Karaoke east of Java?
No but I hummed Sister Christian….
Hummer?
Now gummitch is interested….
Yes I did…
It’s working now. The server must have been backed up. Does that happen?
Passing thru again, too early a flight out.
Iolair, I realize I am a bit odd at times, but I think that tattoo’d p.p. is one if the coolest tats I have ever seen. The colors are stunningly lush (probably helps that I love lizards and dragons – having a tattoo of each myself) and I have to give the guy props for having the, uhm, balls to do it.
If the guy wasn’t pushing 70, I’d have loved to check it out personally. It’s just damned cool!!
Night, all. TRoS, great seeing your pixels (I so love your avitar, it always makes me smile. Such a cute little bear face!)
A cute… CUTE?!?… little… bear???
Humpf… I’m the largest land predator on the planet and can weigh 1500 pounds… and unlike a certain olf-way, I don’t eat lemmings…
I’m sure she meant “cute” in a 900 pound bear sort of way. 😀
Goodnight, all.
Ms. Joanne, have a safe flight.
Zooey, I was just checking is RUC okay? I haven’t seen him post in along time.
Exit Stage Left, I’m very sorry to hear the bad news. I have missed you on the Think Fast Threads. I wish you the best during these very hard times.
I have been there myself, no fun at all. I kept my friends very close that seemed to help alot. Also, sorry to hear you won’t be coming to Ohio. It would have improved the state 10 fold.
Freb,
RUC is fine. He was vacationing in Cabo!
Thanks Zooey. He had me a little worried.
Have a great Sunday!!!
I wonder if that joint that cooks steaks and lobster out on the street and has a zillion different tequilas is still in Cabo. I don’t really like Cabo but that place was cool…
I’m the largest land predator, blah, blah, blah … look at me, look at meeeeeeeeee ….
Even at the zoo polar bears are the biggest hotdogs, yeesh.
Crap, my lemming stew is burning.
Really freedomrebel, RUC should let us know when he’s going on vacation so we don’t worry.
I agree Shayne, I’m not normally a worry wart, but he doesn’t normally go this long without posting.
I was hoping that was all it was.
Shayne, I have never heard of lemming stew. What is in it???
I hope you are having a great Sunday. I just got done trying a new recipe. It is Sour Cream Apple Pie. It smells really good but I have to refrig. for about 1 hour before eating.
Oh, and by the way where is Cabo?? Just curious..
Sorry Freb, so many people around here head to Cabo for an escape from winter, that I assume everyone knows where it is!
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
OMG, there’s a club in Cabo called The Zoo!
freedomrebel, therepublicofstupidity insists that wolves eat lemmings whil polar bear are the top land predator. Polar bears are full of it. 😆
Thanks Shayne, LOL…..
Thanks Zooey. I usually stay on the East Coast. Mostly I go to the Outerbanks every year. I’m such a creature of habit.
My friend’s sister and her partner love to vacation on the Outer Banks, and they go there from Kentucky.
Must be a nice place!
Zooey if you ever get a chance try it out, it won’t disappoint you, if you like beaches. Not as commercialized like Mrytle Beach, cleaner than Virginia Beach, and not as packed as Ft. Lauderdale.
I stay at the same place every year and eat at the same great restaurants. Some of the best seafood I have ever had in my life. If you love peaches and fresh fruit, there is a quaint little farmers market right before you cross the very long bridge to get to the island.

BTW thank you for always being such a sweet person.
Do you like Okrakoke? I once did the nasty at Jockey Hollow…
Cape Hatteras is the farthest I have been down there, db. We explored that area for about one day. Do you remember before you take the ferry over to Ocracoke there is a five star restaurant with a bunch of yachts around it?
I stayed I think it was a best western there, right next door to that restaurant. The Breakwater (I think that is what the restaurant is called) has one of the best chefs. The food was awesome.
