RottenTomatoes' Top Seeds: "Casino," "Queen" (Reuters article)
viatroy replied to owl's topic in Just A Fan
I imagine it's the midwest's cheesy equivalent of the Atlantic City scene. I've never understood the attraction to gambling or the surrounding culture. On the other hand, more power to the Native Americans who are in the game -- I hope they soak everyone that walks through their doors in a big way. -

I was pretty tickled to see this on my recent sojourn -- Im so eastcoast-centric I didn't know it was a real place/thing. -
what magazines, newspapers do you subscribe to?
viatroy replied to Atticus's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
ha! Which ones are CoreyTrevor. Wait, better not answer that. Best magazine I ever subscribed to: A Real Life -- no longer exists of course. Just barely a magazine, more like a newsletter and not likely to be of interest to many folks here -- it was for dirty hippies. Wish I had kept it, I'm tempted to get the back issues. -
Im sure they're doing is just for you Froggie!!

I wonder if Mr. Ando, once dessicated, will be able to be reconsituted by adding water.

avoid Glen Burnie like the plague that it is. Other than that, I haven't lived in bawlmer in too long to suggest what might be a cool neighborhood.

lucky!

viatroy replied to Atticus's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
sez you. I think my Utne just expired, and I'm subscription free. But I work at the library, so it ain't no thang. -
Great pics, and Jeff's looking healthy and spiffy. (And more than a little like my dead former bf, which is freakin me right out.)

It upset me more than any movie I'd ever seen I think, except for the "You're Just Too Good To Be True" scene.

I think they're more thinking of their own convenience than her quality of life. -

When was the last time you listened to a Wilco album start to finish?
viatroy replied to tongue-tied's topic in Just A Fan
last week on the road I listened to AM, Being There, Mermaids I and II, with the full intention of going through the whole catalog, but I was boycotting anything even moderately depressing. -
ummm, you guys should thank Bjorn for the cookies, since I didn't get to visit with him.

I drove. And drummed. And counted my blessings. Then I got home.

It was also just after the MSG New Year's Eve concert, which probably drew a bunch of folks here.

nigger, wop, spic, jap, kike, etc etc etc. Any utterance along those lines would be cause for a severe beatdown in my house as a kid. (And I mean the "I'm disappointed in you etc etc" verbal beatdown.) As use of the 'n' word has become more publicly pervasive -- and white kids clamor for cool by aping hiphop -- it's not surprising it's heard more and more in common speech, and people thinks its okay to say. "Nigga please" for example. It still turns my stomach ever time I hear it.

Im with you on that Tom ... I've long thought that compulsory national service is a good idea for young adults. Things like Katrina cleanup and rebuilding, renovation of affordable housing stock, teaching and recreation assistance, etc....the possibilities are endless. And closing corporate tax loopholes is the means to pay for it. Come to think of it, that should be the means of paying for everything. The draft? Fuck no -- if someone wants to volunteer to go kill some other mother's son, I guess that's their business. But to be required to fill that role? No.

YAY BABIES!! love and safe delivery vibes to the Stirratts.
