I like that. Small talk, try not to annoy him, hope things get interesting. Bring beer. That's what I'd do. Why do people get all butt-hurt when mjp does what he does? Don't they read through some threads before they start one? Sometimes mjp snapping at half-wits is the only thing that...

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, a gift from my 3rd grade teacher. I cried when they "killed" Aslan, and didn't realize at the time that he was essentially Jesus in a cat costume. I read The Winter of Our Discontent not too long after that, for some reason. When I really got rolling as a...

"Nice."

mjp, I read Bass Culture after reading your post and I'm really glad I did. Fascinating read. The most coherent explanation of Rasta I've read, too. I think I'll skip the Cruise bio and find a good one on Bob Marley instead, though. Any suggestions?

I'll have to try dogfishhead again then. I tried the 60 minute a few weeks ago but I think it was past it.

Hour and a half, but it goes by fast. The "broke dick" bit was good but I really loved the broken schools bit.

if you're hops fan look for Hop Stoopid (highly hopped IPA but with with some kind of hop extract as well). To me it's absolute candy. Sierra Nevada's fresh hops ales are also spectacular.

It's about something different every year. I'm not involved, who am I to dictate the qualifications they consider? Perhaps it's an expression of relief, that the US is going down the tubes less quickly than reelecting W would seem to have indicated. Great points, Bill.

I think SNL summed it up best--Fred Armison as Obama explained he got it for "not being George Bush".

Did you see or read his speech this morning? Sounds like he feels the same way.

I'm still pretty new here, but from what I've seen, most things are OK, but few things are Okie. That said, Okie is definitely O.K. It's way beyond my authority to welcome you, but I like your brevity.

the debut album from Scottish rock band We Were Promised Jetpacks, called These Four Walls. I've played it about 10 times this week and 3 and half times today (so far), and I just can't stop. Irony is overrated, anyway. The last book I read was Lamb by Christopher Moore, or as I like to call...

not to me!

Thanks, Lolita. I guess you could say I still romanticize it some, but my vision is much wider now. the world makes me sad and frustrated, but drinking too much makes me clinically depressed. When I first started drinking, a senior in high school, Nothing's Shocking was just out and I'd...

came in the mail today. only made page 17 tonight but I had to read let's have some fun and the wasted profession 3 times apiece because I completely related. someone once asked me what I do for fun and I said "I don't believe in fun". a friend within earshot said, "he's not kidding". still...
