The Hall of Fire

It would be nice if you explained what in the world the threads you start are meant to be about. I like your point, my yov. I greatly appreciate the presence of Soli on this board. I like his banter and I like his attitude. He is, occasionally, The Man, though he might be a woman for all I know. Vt...

Remove the bad guy, then. Revert to the old saw: you're the switchman on a railroad. An out-of-control locomotive, abandoned by its terrified crew, suddenly appears, and you can either let it go by, in which case it creams a passenger train around the bend five seconds later, killing lots; or you c...

My humble thanks, A-man.

I had a bowl of noodles on X-mas Eve. It's sacred food to me and my tribe.



(More favourite than the Dick/Jane stuff? Perhaps one has to be American.)

Like Tony Soprano I trudge out to the head of my drive (or is it the foot?) to retrieve my two papers every morning. On work mornings I don't get to read them then and there. I look at the heads over cereal. The cat knows the routine and sits, chinalike, at the corner of the table. The papers wait u...

In the beginning was the potato. God made it without an "e" except in the plural and because it was without color on the inside on the second day he made broccoli and arrugula. On the third day God made the ruminant beasts so that cream sauce from their utterances might cover the plate and...

I am a lifelong reader of whatever local paper (The Fresno Bee, The Bakersfield Californian, The Orange County Register, The Mercury News) as well as the major regional paper, usually The LA Times or The SF Chronicle. I won't stop unless they do. I don't watch TV news. I just spent a full week with ...

I got 31, and I missed the same ones as most, for the same reasons.


I feel that I've been discriminated against because of my age.

Holby, *points to self* This may be way self-centered, but I think I have some of the thickest skin of anyone I've ever met. The humble baby tuckoo, though tender to the touch and sensitive in all ways other than political, environmental, and . . . um . . . pseudoscientific, has skin so thick that ...

I know! I know!! It's the capital of, um, the erzatz capital of, um, Bulgaria where Mahima and I met in pre-production for possible rolls in which we would strive to restore the true capital of Skopkjeh to it's previous reganduere. Coffee enthused us briefly, but then was replaced by brandy any then...

i meant, "jethro knows."

hey mate: i know.

i meant "lobster"

there were three of us in the car that was rented in san francisco the norwegian and the guy who sold me a plate of scampi and the undergaduate who acted like a shrew that nibbled on seventeen pound bananas the fog was thick like cotton and the verbs we flung about like scat there was the and then t...

How can I not be a Dodger fan? I inherited it from my parents! And I get to listen to Vin Scully all the time! Not to put to fine a point on it, my dear Fara, but you could you could search under your couch and, perhaps, find a clue. Vin Scully (or Jon Miller) makes not a team fan but, god willing,...

Somebody has been drug into the 21st century, contrary to her better sense.


Can't text with my tiny, imprecise fingers. Shakes tiny fists at tiny keyboard.

In our brief time together, Sherlock 12 and I grew close. If you had just stuck with him, my precipitous Prim, I feel he might have developed into a second-class poster, capable of sympathetic responses and shallow observations and the occasional easy touche, sort of like, oh, you know, what's his n...

Indeed, Prim, you may call him "a particular kind of Russian." Yes, he was brilliant in the way writers are, but he was also wierd in the way writers are. Not to put too fine a point on it, he was a nutcase. But, like Barry Bonds, I didn't have to work/live with him. I did try to read Canc...
