Madame Defarge

Ladies and gentlemen, I've been exploring Ecuador for weeks now ..... and still....no evidence whatsoever that the Holocaust ever took place.

90%. That is practically the whole F*****g country. Only if Dr. Adkins was alive, he should have told them that he was the Jesus of weight loss. Slim Fast should be put on the shelves. But i'm sure many Tongans don't consider themselves overweight. There standards are probably much different then ours. What we consider 20 pounds over weight just might be about average? I thought the people of Houston, Texas in that film about the man who ate nothing but junk food for a month (William someone, damned if I can remember what it was called) looked larger than the inhabitants of Tonga. Are you thinking about the film Supersize Me ? That was about a guy who ate nothing but McDonalds for a month. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390521/ I'm 130 lbs and I'm five foot five inches tall. I'm considered skinny in America. You guys can call me Bones instead of Mme. Defarge if you want.

Croaked.

I'm so sorry Godot, I meant to say you were right brained and for that I deserve to be in the same sentence as Tony Blair(I think). I'm right - brained too and in my case this manifests itself in a complete lack of a sense of direction and an inability to master the multiplication table. I got my right and left confused. I don't collect boxes.To crossdress, I collect maps and calculators. Oh, and I went to a Halloween party once dressed as Boy George.

Wait. Before you go jumping into their 12-step program or whatever they have down there at boxaholics try some other stores.....it might be best for you not to abandon the boxes which is what the BA will coerce you into doing. I daresay this fascination with them has been ongoing for some time and might be related to your left-brained-ness. Like, maybe you need them to be able to think outside of them. Or inside them. This is a very delicate situation.

Kennedy was president for 1000 days and Ford for only 895 , just long enough to launch Chevy Chase's career.

Thank you , pulphack. And props to you for even jokingly suggesting that it was Mo. I was convinced that the bow or whatever she has around her neck was disguising an Adam's apple. I'm curious to see what TMIB will choose for his next avatar.

Ooooooh! Is BB Laura as well? No its not BB. However his alter-ego of BC does have a link to this well-known deathlister. Can someone PM me with suspects name too please If this speculation is based on my mentioning in the chat that there is an IP similarity with one of the members, the evidence is far from conclusive. One interesting fact which I discovered recently is that BBC employees accessing the internet from work have their own specially reserved range of IP numbers. Also not conclusive evidence, I know, but whoever is posting this stuff isn't doing it from the BBC. Maybe it's Laura Bush.

The Velvet Underground, sans Nico?

Thanks for the comments and review of the merch. About the DL bumper sticker, I don't know about that one. It might attract the wrong sort of attention from the local gendarme.

Dr. Palms? That wouldn't be Dr. Harry Palms, would it? If so, try not to schedule any appointments around the 23rd of August, there is a full moon. Welcome back, Bruno.

Some sources list her birthday as 1915, and others as 1922. American actress and sit-com star Barbara Billingsley might be one to keep an eye peeled for. http://www.cataumet.net/carolyn/bkw2.htm

Oh, and do enlighten us about what ' good ' broadcasting is, and why it is so important to you that two exclamation points were needed to defend a radio station. Go home and bake some cookies you little twit.

I don't understand. I don't recall Iain's mentioning that he was a blind man. If he could see you, I doubt he'd stalk you, so he must be very terribly visually impaired, and therefore only able to follow you by your scent. I reckon you must be emitting quite a stank. A good hot sudsy bath and a routine examination by an exorcist should work wonders. I hope you feel better soon.

Definitely, and it wouldn't come as too great a shock to find out that the IP address for Mr. Cerf is MiddleEarth as I've always assumed that he was Gollum, yess,my Preciouss ....

I am so sorry to hear this. She is at peace now, so please try to take some consolation from this. I know that words are so meaningless now, but my thoughts are with you and your family.

I've noticed that some of the foulest of candidates seem to draw the most hysterical ranting in their defense. This seems to be especially true regarding dictators and the like. Imagine the uproar here if Pinochet or P.W. Botha were the next to bite the dust.

Hopeless romantic, aren't you, Doc?

Then there's country music singer Skeeter Davis. Yip, Ladybird Johnson is old, and could peg out at any moment.

There's a Canadian musician Jaymz Bee, although the spelling looks iffy. And there's an artist who calls himelf Fly. regards, Hein The lovely character actress(and honoree of the Freedon From Religion Foundation),Butterfly McQueen. She died in a house fire in 1995. http://www.ronaldbrucemeyer.com/rants/0108almanac.htm

Surely it has to be George W Bush or Tony Blair, two men deserving of long slow painful deaths. If either were murdered, I would rejoice. Please Karma, let it be so. Or the puppet master himself, my old favorite, Dick Cheney. Quail season starts in November, so we'll see. 'Theresh one (hic!) over there(hic!) oops....'

I'm kind of a half-hippy myself I agree with some hippy values, but not so much the dress sense. I'm sure it's on here somewhere, but my pet hate ( well, one of them ) is the Betterware Catalogue I seriously hate the people who deliver them ( ). These people post a bulk of junk through my door, then TELL me when to leave it outside so that they can easily collect it!!! They assume that I want to play their annoying game. How dare they assume this? I should not have to put a sign on my door saying " No 'Betterware', or else. ". They should only post them into doors that have signs stating a willingness to comply. Grrr and double grr with grrrr on top. Breathe in and out, slowly. Calm down. There, all better. Madame Six, first, if you don't have a cat, get one for yourself or borrow one. Then put the catalogue into a shredding machine. Place the shredded litter into the cat's litter box. Let your kitty place several large "orders". Scoop the litter into a plastic bag or whatever the catalogue came in and deposit it on your doorstep to be picked up.

Natural Selection or Intelligent Design?

Dont you mean a SKELF? I thought that would be one that would have a local name, wonder what they call it in the US? I'm pretty sure the generally accepted word is "needle," even in the US. Although why she used a needle and not tweezers is a little frightening. Maybe she just grabbed one of the discarded ones up off the floor. Young man I ought to put you over my knee, pull down your trousers and smack your bare backside for that remark. You wouldn't sit down for a week. Hell's Spells, the needle is first held in the flame of a match to sterilize it. Then when the needle turns black, you wait until it cools to remove the little piece of something which is just called a splinter in the US. The next time I have one I'll give spell a try as a test of how it feels to say it when you have it. It looks adorable in writing.
