The NBA says "no" to leather
Good morning.
Footballs should be next, right?
Stockwell Day is a cabinet minister in our neoconservative government; and a creationist. (might be old hat for Americans, but it’s some scary shit up here!)
I’ve got to figure out how to post a youtube thingy on my blog; I need to share these too. (the local KFC always pulls off the PETA stickers I see on the phone booth out front)
Humanity’s actions will “return” to haunt us, they already are, aren’t they?
Posted by Amelopsis on from Canada 10/08 at 09:02 AMAn “evolutionist’s” take on the business with dinosaurs…
Posted by sk on from 10/08 at 09:09 AMwow 2 videos in 2 days on the site… i might be forced to keep making them!
amelopsis - its easy to put a youtube film on your blog.
all you need to do is look to the right of the screen and there is a little bit that says ‘URL’ with the web link for that film and below it is another one that says “embed”
copy and paste what is in the “embed” part into your blog and when you post the blog it will work immediately
regarding the dinosaurs… i am sure bill hicks said something along the lines of…
“have you ever noticed how people who believe in creationism look really unevolved?”
Posted by michael on from exile 10/08 at 09:29 AMGood morning Expendables! I was up late last night, enjoying the Mets’ victory in a sweep over the team they were invented to replace (the Dodgers, late of Brooklyn, for the uninitiated).
So will the Yank-me fans, whose team was ELIMINATED by the Detroit Tigers last night (the Detroit Tigers! HA!), agree to root for the pennant to come home to NYC by rooting for the Mets to win the Series?
Michael, glad to see you’re not languishing away there in Exile. Apparently your videos are giving great pleasure, wish I could partake.
MZ, oh wait no...don’t want to disturb your day of mourning for the dead playoff hopes of the Yank-mes. Never mind.
Hi Empress, footballs has already begun here, dreadful dreary “game” that it is. Baseball is in its last few weeks, then footballs has the field (bad pun! BAD pun!) to itself for a while. Stockwell Day, what a great name for a preacher. My NaNovel is set in the South and involves a few brushes with a Babdiss preacher, so I herewith appropriate Stockwell Day as the name of same. Thanks!
Posted by Mudge on from Austin, Texas 10/08 at 09:50 AMHey Michael, great insightful videos as always… I’m sitting here trying to absorb more Sartre for my book club later today, didn’t go to the Talking Heads tribute thing last night, instead watched stuff like this on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqBzt1cUVyo
Damn, those Talking Heads were funky, and you gotta love a band that doesn’t appear in their own video. And oh, Isaac Asimov was the keynote speaker at the graduation ceremony at my high school in ‘88 (year before my graduation). I got to watch him, and he sure was an odd man in person. Was he a better essayist o SF author? Hard to tell.
Posted by James on from Hell's Kitchen 10/08 at 09:51 AMOh, and in case my high-spirited humour wasn’t obvious Empress, I know you were referring to the objects as “footballs” not the game. I just had to get that bad pun in there.
Posted by Mudge on from Austin, Texas 10/08 at 09:52 AMOh Mudge, you had to rub it in, didn’t you. The Yankees were horrible. I am ashamed. I am looking forward to some major pitching changes for next year. At least Derek Jeter will probably win MVP. Great videos, michael. Good luck with Sartre, James. Good morning Amelopsis, sk and everyone else.
Posted by JOS on from Chicago 10/08 at 10:13 AMHello Expendables...one and all. It is a glorious fall day here and I fully intend to be outside to enjoy it.
As for the pathetic Yanks, I am one of those rare New Yorkers who likes both local baseball teams. I grew up in Queens and rooted for the 1969 Mets...but converted to the Yanks when Billy Martin became manager in 1976. However, I cheered like mad for the 1986 Mets and will once again get behind the Amazin’s. Still, it’s hard not to like the underdog Tigers and/or the (relatively) low budget A’s.
Meanwhile, 5 billion animal and plant species will go extinct.
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 10/08 at 10:28 AMHockey’s just begun and as far as I know (and that’s not very far) there’s little or no leather involved anymore.
Mudge - here’s the best part - Stockwell was leader of the conservatives a few years back and he’s the minister “Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness”, it’s our equivalent of Homeland Security.
Michael, thanks for the youtube info...I guess I was trying to make it complicated.
Posted by Amelopsis on from Canada 10/08 at 11:36 AMFunny thing that baseball.
It is definitely one of the more tedious forms of “bread and circuses” in my opinion.
As a chile, I was a disaffected youth and did not participate in many “group” or “organized” activities, yet I made an exception for little league fastball.As a dope puffing non-jock the people of the small community in which I grew up could not understand how I came to participate in and eventually master the sport.
It was my forum to act out against the eater/breeders and their kids.
I was reviled by the overbearing “sports parents” and the coaches for my rude/explicit trash talk, and often violent habit of practicing and succeeding in hitting the pitchers, (once the victory was sealed) who constantly tried to walk me while at bat.Our small backwoods team that could not afford the pants for our uniforms was roundly taunted by the heavily sponsored city league teams but they feared us in the playoffs.
As a batting specialist I took the city league MVP 2 years straight for my monstrous hitting as we rose from obscurity to take the city league championships both years.
Although the parents and coaches dearly wanted to bench me and kick me off the team they would not dare give up my sterling homerun record.
It was one of my first childhood experiences in the art of hypocrisy. I was a bastard but they would not touch me.I wish that you had inferred a baseball theme for S.T. Saturday as I have some funny tales of the outsider being embraced by the “normals” against their greater desires because I would consistently be a crucial part of our winning record.
Perhaps I’ll join the “expendable” Nanamoo writing team with a seedy tale of baseball debauchery.Sorry about the ramble- my point is although fastball was the only sport I could truly say I mastered, I could never sit through a televised game of it then or now- bliss to play, but fucking boring to watch, man!
Whatever the reason, I’m glad the Bling.B.A will no longer bounce flesh on their courts.
Posted by Youngfox on from cracklespank 10/08 at 12:35 PMOh yes, Stockwell is often referred to as “Doris” by satirists here in Adanac.
He ran for the leadership of what is now our Neocons but his campaign faltered when reporters latched onto the fact that he declared the world to be “6000 years old”.
Now he is our version of Chertoff.
We are soooo screwed.Posted by Youngfox on from spitball 10/08 at 12:40 PMOh yeah, the Doris experiment....
While running his campaign, Stockwell made a campaign promise that he’d adhere to any referendum in which the majority of Canadians voted. So...up rose a petition to hold a referendum renaming Stockwell to Doris Day. Between that, his creationism theories, and his brilliant strategy to hold an impromptu media event wherein the cameras showed him racing to shore aboard his sea-doo, Stockwell’s leadership campaign fizzled out. But not before the right recognized his value in herding the religious factor into the ‘new’ conservative party.
ugh.
Posted by Amelopsis on from Canada 10/08 at 12:58 PMJust dropping by on this busy day to say HI to everyone.
off topic, but I’ve been thinking. First it was spinach, then beef, then bottled carrot juice, and now it is packaged lettuce. All within the past week or so. Seems like the USDA and usa factory farms are more dangerous than the terrorists these days.Posted by RMJ on from Churchill 4 Prez Hdqts 10/08 at 06:30 PMMy parents took me to see Ken Ham (the Bible dinosaur guy) speak when I was a kid.
Asimov. Never read much, but Foundation is a great read.
Somebody’s using my web address to email spam (i.e., blablabla@yirmeyahureview (dot) com). Then people bounce the spam and it returns to ME. I thought it was a nuisance, but right now I have 644 messages in my inbox, most of them bounced spam. Any suggestions?
Posted by Jeremy on from Taipei 10/08 at 10:05 PMSpam’s been a problem for a while, but the use of my domain name for e-mails just started a few weeks ago. It was a handful a day. I started using Spam Cop. Then came today’s outpouring. I’d not opened any of the attachments from the returned mail before. So since posting that last message, I went and did so. Guess what? It’s ads encouraging people to invest in a company called “Investigative Services Agency”. It opens “From Iraq to Hóme Town, U.S.A. private security company guãrds out number police threè to one.”
I think somebody doesn’t like my site. I suppose I should be flattered.
Posted by Jeremy on from Taipei 10/08 at 10:11 PMI think I may have found a solution--or at least a way to sweep the mess under the rug. I turned off the “catch-all” option on my e-mail. So bounced spam e-mails sent in my name won’t return to my account. Of course, that doesn’t stop people from sending malicious spam in my name.
Posted by Jeremy on from Taipei 10/08 at 11:06 PMJeremy: I’ve had something similar happen but it stopped as quickly as it started. You might wanna repost this question on today’s board because I’m sure someone here can help.
