Chicago reporters will soon find much sport in triggering Emanuel’s, uh, “temper”… http://bit.ly/qXhTKz
Our planet is in ruins
you can blame the apes
but it didn’t come naturally
they needed Higher Education
where Dick learns that corporations have rights
and Jane learns that two Dicks are better than one
where Machiavelli is the foundation
of crumbling Houses
how Love is strangled!
and Play forgotten
Children of God fail their courses
what remains
drives civilization off a Cliff
with great pomp and circumstance
tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?
Sunlight streaming through a window, bringing me to awareness.
I love leafing through old photographs of days gone by. This one is from my mom’s television days. She is the lovely lady in the middle. Don’t think I’ve ever been able to kick that high. Too bad I didn’t inherit her dancing skills…
I share your love for old photos…like time travelling. I watch old movies the same way (most recent: “Naked City” - 1948).
Three things about the show so far: 1) Osbourne is right - “it’s like a fucking Star Wars bar in here!”. Part of the appeal. 2) Celeb Apprentice is really all about the fine art of throwing opponents under the bus. Blago played you! He threw you under at the jump (which is why Donald tried to give you an out); you should have rejected the gambit, Sinbad. The game was over in the 1st 5 mins. of the episode. 3) “Peace sign, pimp walk, fist bump.” Now, THAT was an exit. :) And one which I fervently hope NOT to see the former Governor emulate, when his ass is (everybody in unison) THROWN UNDER THE BUS!
I’ll keep it brief. To paraphrase Dennis Green concerning the Chicago Bears, Kathryn Bigelow’s film is what I thought it would be. Pandering PC-ness. You want badass, see Miranda Kwok’s work. Wiki Kwok. “The Hurt Locker”: two and one half stars.
RT “what would u do if u saw rider clip nails on the #cta? “ http://bit.ly/bQ2kGD
Tracy, I had to take this to tumblr; 140 ain’t gonna cut it. :)
(1) Clipping fingernails? Please. Last November. I saw a woman on the northbound #6 take off her shoes and socks (~57th and the Museum) AND BEGIN TO PICK HER FEET! Driver said nothing. I’ve seen feet-picking two other times, all three on the #6.
Outrageously unsanitary. The mindset of a person who would do that on. a. bus. —- can’t go there…
(2) Projectile Sneezing: Just overt, no attempt to cover up whatsoever-type sneezing. Cuts across all lines: young, old, black, white, hispanic, asian, male, female…this is the kind of gross inconsideration that makes me want to bitchslap in response. Instead, having a ChicagoCard Plus in monthly pass mode, I simply get off at the next stop. …’course, you can’t do that if it’s a #6 in express on Lake Shore Drive…
(3) Nail Salon On Wheels: big among the teen set. Open bottles of fingernail polish and God knows what else, filling the bus with noxious vapors.
(4) Gourmet Dining: you know, a piece of fruit or cookies, etc., is no big deal. But entire MEALS in white styrofoam containers being devoured for 15+ minutes?? Guess the drivers aren’t being paid enough to intervene. <chuckle> <guffaw>
…and last, but not least
(5) Public Urination: no, not on the bus, but at a bus stop. Woman last summer, 51st and Lake Park (late evening - sun still out), walks to a corner of the kiosk, pulls down her pants —- and urinates.
“I had to go!”
At this point, so do I. What a wonderful crowd! I’ll be on the #6 five days a week! Drive (or be driven) safely! G’night everybody!
[Brump-TING!]
Rep. Trent Franks (R)/Arizona: “…Far more of the African American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by the policies of slavery.”
Yeah, and if I put your fat ass in chains, sold you, and took your wife as chattel, dollars to donuts your mindset would flip in a nanosecond…
The entire COUNTRY is being devastated by blowback from the policies of slavery!
Among other, um, “things”…
