For once he owned a dog with a horn



He was already in a predicament of severe magnitude.

What he really needed was an adjustment in attitude.

But instead of following the plan and following the dog.

It was the intention of Stan to do a big bog.

But when it came down to doing a pooh.

Stan was puzzled and did not know what to do.

Everyone was just screaming



It is understood the woman boarded the tram shortly before four inspectors got on and was heading to a ticket machine with change before being challenged. Bar manager Daniel Crescia, 33, sitting a few seats back said he watched in horror as the intimidating inspector pushed the woman into safety railing, shoved her into her seat and grabbed her by the wrists.

Special thanks to Hot Knives



The ride from Wine House back to Echo Park went by much quicker than I expected. I guess having all these beers waiting for us when we got home was a good motivator.

Hacker-Pschorr is a great bananay hefe, one of my favorites. Butte Creek Christmas Cranberry Ale was not Christmassy enough for me, and frankly a little watery, but I really enjoy Butte Creek’s Organic IPA and Porter. Stone Vertical Epic ‘07 is fantastic, will I actually be able to save the one in my closet for 5 years? Don’t know about that. Old Stock 2006 is heavy, sweet, and great for savoring. I actually didn’t get to try the Abt 12. Loterbol Bruin hit the spot, subtle and highly sessionable. He’brew Origin Pomegranate Ale is an imperial amber. Interesting style, but a little too boozy for the pomegranate to shine through. Tasty beer though, I will definitely try some of their others.

The funny part was I turn around



We we're let out of class almost an hour early and Laura and I headed over to the Bayswater tube stop to go see Sweeney Todd. The movie theater was in the closest thing to a mall we've seen. It wasn't really big but it was cool. We got there too early so we went to Burger King and did the 99p menu thing.

I Can't Stop - West Street Mob

The screen was soo small...like 4 times the size of our television...well maybe a little bigger....but not worth paying to see something there. We were at a preview of the movie since it doesn't come out until Friday....it was cool to very easily be the only person there who had seen it already since it's been out over a month in the States. I was a little less disappointed with it the second time around since I knew what to expect. I still have issues with the fact that he builds his barber chair and that the gore was way too fake when I always thought the show was as classy as they could be with it....well at least the revival was...the original cast I guess it pretty much was just all slit the throats. But yea I like Depp as Todd.....but you can't even pretend to compare Carter to Angela Lansbury and Patti LuPone.

Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors



The word posh, which denotes luxurious rooms or accomodations, originated when ticket agents in England marked the tickets of travelers going by ship to the Orient. Since there was no air conditioning in those days, it was always better to have a cabin on the shady side of the ship as it passed through the Mediterranean and Suez area. Since the sun is in the south, those with money paid extra to get cabin's on the left, or port, traveling to the Asia, and on the right, or starboard, when returning to Europe. Hence their tickets were marked with the initials for Port Outbound Starboard Homebound, or POSH.

the sour notes



I was teaching my weekly violin lesson to my sixteen year old student. I’ve been using the Suzuki Method book with her and teaching her proper technique and note recognition. Usually our lessons are full of cheerful conversation and positive pep talks but last night I just wasn’t feeling it. We’d reached a challenging piece in the book and spent the first half hour of the lesson going over the notes. I heard myself saying drying, “let’s try these two measures again.” “Remember to use your whole bow.” “Keep your wrist down.” “Stay with the beat.”

Baby It's Cold Outside - Ray Charles & Betty Carter
Lucky Stars - Dean Friedman

I was frustrated with my humorless instruction and the repetitive, nonsensical quality of the music. My poor student looked about as miserable as I felt and wasn’t responding as usual to my instruction. I felt terrible that I couldn’t create the lighthearted quality we usually have in our lessons. I’m good friends with my student and know that depending on how she’s feeling on any particular day, her lessons with me can be productive, or just plain tragic. This night was tragic for sure.

Please make me a hunk



Have PMDandbordercollies and I done something to upset everyone? We have both noticed that lately if we post something in a thread everyone either stops posting in the thread or completely disregards our comments.

We would like to know what we have done to upset you all?? If you tell us then we can work on it and make sure in future that the same mistakes are not made.

If this continues, however, we may feel compelled to leave the site as we feel upset and a bit left out.

We don't even do CHRISTMAS; we never did. The only things I ever receive are from FRIENDS,so I'm lucky to get ONE present every year. The last time you guys gave me anything for my birthday, I don't even REMEMBER. Again, I should be thankful if my friends get me anything, or my good e-friends log on and wish me so. Back then in elementary you got me some cake that was too sweet and it served for breakfast for school mornings for the rest of the week. Hahahahaha yeah. No. -_-

water erodes a path



The mechanics of how the Evil Ogdoad, or Eight Forms of Wrath works, is exactly like the karate fighter uses the tool of an Octagon, to be able to describe and manipulate physical and mental behavior of an opponent. In order to use the formula in the Seven(8) Forms of Wrath, the method must become reality to the Gnostic, and both the ‘light’ and ‘dark,’ become one and the same. Like the Karate Fighter, the Gnostic practices a deadly art but this is in order to lesson the necessity of having to use it.

He literally sizzles when he walks



I collect tons of pix automatically from many sources, and I almost never note where they're from, and they sit there in my files for a long time until something occurs to me where they would assist. I've had those pix for a while. I probably got them in a newsgroup, possibly a teen idol related one or one of the retromod groups. I don't know. I think it's great you spilled your desires out to your myspace friend. It's exciting, edgy, dangerous but not really dangerous. I hope you do run into him. I bet it'll be fine, whatever happens. ** Atheist, Well, if you miss the place then what's with the being a stranger stuff, eh? Thanks for the well wishes. I need them, and yours are always golden. ** Math T., Jesus, I didn't realize your body went through all that.

Miss Broadway - La Belle Epoque

Let me preface this by saying I do not get freaked out by homeless people. I’ve dealt with them a ton in Memphis, and now in East Nashville. But last night was something different. Its entirely possible that who I ran into was just a well dressed 40 year old white homeless man who had some how picked up a picture ID that he wore around his neck. But I can’t shake how freaked out I was.

Carrie and I went with some friends to Sam’s Sports Bar in Hillsboro Village. Parking is always tough in their lot, so we parked in the Bank of America lot a block over. The sign said that it was bank parking only during business hours. It wasn’t business hours, so we went ahead and parked.

Waterlogged - Cornershop

We ate dinner and watched the UNC game, and after our failed attempts at participating in the trivia game going on at Sam’s, we decided to cut out. We walked to our car, and were getting in when I heard someone talking to who I assumed to be me, from somewhat of a distance. I hopped back out of the car and turned around to see what was going on. A man walked up to me and reiterated what I hadn’t heard completely before, that the tow trucks had come out and were about to tow my car, but he convinced them not to.

Why you wanna hate on me? Shit, I look good



I was 11 when Apollo 11 landed on the moon and I figured that plenty of people would be living there by now in pressurized trailer parks. I wasn’t especially interested in going myself, but thought that with so many leaving to colonize the solar system it might be possible to buy a tropical island for cheap where I’d write novels, practice medicine and go snorkeling a lot. I also was pretty sure I’d win the Nobel Peace Prize for helping end apartheid in South Africa.

Smash hits time here



Absof*ckinglutely. This is some real art shit. A record about the end of the world, recorded for an imaginary Japanese label and only ever released in Japan. That’s something I have always dreamt about. Inspired by all the true visionary artists. David Sylvian, Robert Fripp, the Blue Nile, the Associates, Chris De Burgh, Hoger Czuckay, Brian Eno to name a few. We wanted to collaborate with all out musician friends and work with Chris Nazuka and just make something a little out there. It will probably never be released , but who gives a shit.

Across The Universe - Laibach
Coney Island Cyclone (4-track demo) - Mercury Rev
Kiss Me Another - Peter Grudzien

I work, that’s what I do. If I am not creating, I am unhappy. I write constantly. My brain never leaves me alone. There is so much to gain from life experiences, and it has to be noted. But its not hard, making music should never be hard if you are emotionally attached to it, the same as Djing. The travelling is hard yes, but you learn to deal with it. And the Dad bit, well, that’s what I was meant to do, that comes easily.

DOOBLE-EST of ENTENDRES



Last Saturday actually, and Uncle Alan treated my daddies and me to a trip to the Old Vic, where Ms Sandy Topsywig presented us with the King's Magnificent Balls... and the all the rest of "Cinderella".

Air A Danser - Penguin Cafe Orchestra

Meanwhile, while we were out, the recorder was recording the conclusion of the second series of Robbing Hoodie: a double-parter (or two episodes bunged together) of "A Good Day to Die" and another trip to a faraway land in "We Are (not in the third series of) Robin Hood".

Let me just say this: only one of these productions had CONVINCING BACKDROPS!

Feuervogel - Solomun & Stimming
Parage - Justus Kohncke
Do It - Neil Diamond

Cinders was a magnificent production, with some marvellous acting (and occasional stripping!) from a cast very familiar to watchers of TV's Doctor Who, featuring no less than Queen Victoria as the Fairy Godmother, Foon van Hoff as the Wicked Stepmother, Mr Phillips the Bursar as King Neville, and Alan Maria-from-Sarah-Jane's-Dad (known forevermore as "Sarah's Mum" – we know why!) as Prince Charming. Though to be fair, the biggest part in the show – and the tightest trousers – belonged to Mr Paul Keating as Buttons, who had previously played Seymour in "The Little Shop of Horrors". Daddy Alex took me to meet them all at the Stage Door afterwards, while Daddy Richard hid under a nearby car for some reason [R: shyness!].

Here Come The Harvest Buns - Danielle Dax

you only have 3 months left to live,



For me, I try to shy away from the beach-y uniform of my area (flip flops, short shorts, Vera Bradley, and those God-awful leggings) and attempt to be loud with my outfits, such as a BRIGHT yellow dress or a hamburger-patterned t-shirt, not so much to make a statement but just because those items suit my personality.

LJ is a little harder to define, but I suppose I am a lot cheaper about fashion and prefer to hunt for awesome clothes. Nothing wrong with investing in quality clothing, though. I can't quite pin my biggest inspirations--everything I see, between fashion communities, runway photos, and fabric in Joann's craft store ;] all seems to melt together.

Festering Pus - Rancid Hell Spawn

I may be somewhat grown up but that doesn't change the fact that when it comes to dressing up all fancy, I turn into a little girl. So tonight, in the midst of satin gloves, my new Wayfarers, too much hairspray and loads of costume jewelry, I decided to be Miss Golightly for a few hours.

his mouth on mine.



i forget what it is to be sought after, having done too much seeking of my own in the past year, seeking and not finding. tonight is Ladies Night and we are crammed tightly into a booth, the table slick with spilled beer -- Killian's on tap -- and covered in etchings of past boothsitters. There's the typical "Jason was here" and "420" but also "Pirate Booty Shuffle '01" and "Drink 'Til You Drop Shuffle '99," evidence that nothing changes, the shuffles go on, generation after generation of college students leaving their boozy mark, preserving their place in drunken history. We're not on a shuffle tonight, though -- just catching up, enjoying our company.
