[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

Speaking of gasping for air, I'm still trying to get through The Kite Runner but it's so emotionally draining I keep pushing it to the bottom of the stack.

(Hey Chatty, are those steel toed boots or steel toad boots?)

I vote for the steel toad boots-- turn ol' Newt into a steel toad, right quick-like.

Next, kick ol'e dubya in his (no doubt inadequate) privates.

Cheney next. 

Anyone see Lewis Black's new bit on Comedy channel?

[Sibling Chatty]

Toad.

Toadily.

What Bob said.

(I've seen those parts, years ago. He had a bad habit of standing on barstools and dropping his pants.



Not even with 2 gallons of Lysol and some 10 foot long tweezers.)

Are you suggesting inadequacy?  It would explain some of his issues... 

[Sibling Chatty]

Extreme.

And yes, it does.

If he didn't want people to know, he shoulda kept his damn pants on.

(No, I have NO idea  who drew lips on his butt with lipstick while he was passed out on the floor. Not regular lips, ones utilizing an already there 'line' as the center of the drawing. However, the guy that covered the lipstick tube with a bar napkin and stuck it in to look like a ciggie actually TOUCHED him. EEEEEEEWWWWWW.) 

I've never had a substance abuse problem, and probably should have been more tolerant of someone with obvious ones. However, his obnoxiousness just brought out the EVIL in me...

[Opsa]

Oh, that is delightfully gross! Puts another spin on "read my lips".

Bob- you mean "Red, White and Screwed"? I saw it. Lewis Black makes me laugh so hard I nearly pass out. His unspeakable frustration is absolutely adorable.

Yeah, that one.

I don't know which I like better, his rant on Cheny's mistakes, his rant about the stupidity of the Current Occupant, or his little tale about how idiotic creationists are.

Or, then, there's the bits about how the Old Testament is really a Jewish book, and all these fundie Christian preachers never interpret it correctly...

The whole thing's a peach.  I may just have to purchase it on DVD if it ever comes out... I understand the Comedy Central one was edited for length.  (and, obviously, beeped, but who cares about that-- it was clear what he was saying, despite the beeps.... )

[Opsa]

I saw it on Comedy Central. If there's an unedited version, it would be worth the money.

It really doesn't matter if Lewis swears or not. His hands flying around in front of his face curse better than any words.

Alexander, Child of a Dream.

Part 1 of trilogy about, you guessed it, Alexander.

[Swatopluk]

A study (actually a collection of essays) on cultural aspects of nakedness.
Looks like scientists see a big difference between naked and nude.
Also contained an essay about certain lurid aspects of crucifixion scenes. There was a period when the shape of the loincloth intentionally implied that Our Lord had a hard one . That's not just something implied by modern art critics but actually theologically debated at the time of these paintings being made. Christus Triumphans or just perverts in priestly robes?

[Sibling Chatty]

Reading a Kinky Friedman book, God Bless John Wayne.

[anthrobabe]

I found 3 cookbooks in the dollar bin at Big Lots--- one is called

Mini Mart A La Carte--- cooking not only in the mini-mart but using items that can be found at the mini-mart. Some of the things look worth trying(but at home). NOT the drink that has Smirnoff Ice and Pepto Bismol together-- I'm not that brave.

[beagle]

Still reading a megatome on .NET 3.5, and re-reading "Rogue Male".
