November 6 On November 6 the following people were born (people of any notoriety, people of the public [not "important" people, just people that are in general known by "society" at large, or some percentage of it]): Most notable, here are the two greatest actors of, not "our generation," but the two greatest superstars who happened to be born on the exact date of November 6, 1970: Second most important, the qualified actor: Ethan Hawke (born November 6, 1970) And, of course, we all know the most important, America's hero, God's hero, Greek God of the Ages, Ted Strong (born November 6, 1970). For any anti-Hawkers out there, I beg of you, put down your petitions and banners. Love Hawke. He must be worthwhile, as anyone born on November 6, 1970 is.

Cincinnati Chili Part of my family comes from Cincinnati, and I've been to that area many times (although not lately), so when I noticed this TV show dialogue I thought I'd transcribe it and send it to certain family members. While trying to identify some murder victims, on CSI: Miami I captured this dialogue between CSIs: Ryan Wolfe (Jonathan Togo): "Missing Persons may have something." Calleigh Duquesne (Emily Procter): "Not Florida's; I hit a dead end in the Sunshine State." Ryan Wolfe: "Well, there are 49 other states." Calleigh Duquesne: "That is exactly why I decided to come at it from a different angle -- take a look. The couple's stomach contents -- it's chili." Ryan Wolfe: "Yeah, well there's a lot of that around." Calleigh Duquesne: "The white stuff in it -- it's pasta." Ryan Wolfe: "Pasta and chili?" (he asks quizzically.) Calleigh Duquesne: "That is the unofficial grub of Southern Ohio -- that, my friend, is: Cincinnati Chili." Cincinnati Chili Links: Wikipedia Dixie Chili Skyline Chili 9:59:47 PM    comment []

Your dick is your weak issue because it is so small Well, this is an actual (spam) email I got: Subject: Your dick is your weak issue because it is so small.

If I were simply to enlarge my "dick" with the "Penis Enlarge Patch," grammatically incorrect as it is, she's surely to actually die -- of jealousy and regret. This, would, I assume, be due to the fact that my now, much larger, "dick" is of the being of inside of the someone of else's-ness, at all times of all nesses. 9:57:24 PM    comment []

Favorite Lost Quotes Involving Vincent Shannon: Vincent! Sayid: This is not a good idea. Shannon: I saw him five minutes ago. Besides, you're the one who said there wasn't anyone out here. Sayid: I said we didn't see anyone. The dog will come back on his own -- he always does. Shannon: Watching that dog was the one thing anybody ever asked me to do. If something happens to him... Sayid: When was the last time you slept or had something to eat? You're exhausted. Shannon: I can't tell that kid I lost his dog 'cause I was exhausted. -- From Lost, episode "Man of Science, Man of Faith" (2005). 9:44:09 PM    comment []

A Sick Time; Not To Be Forgotten You know I love the Sam Peckinpah movie, Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid. Kris Kristofferson plays the Kid. KK has a new album out. I guess it would be categorized in the Country/Western dept -- a dept that, historically, I hate, but for a few exceptions (Mr. J. Cash, Mr Kristofferson, etc). Anyway took the leap and just purchased KK's album on iTunes. So then was online researching KK, and at some point went to my Apple Mac "Dashboard" Dictionary and started typing in Kristofferson to see if they'd have him. But nothing went past Krist, and the only thing that really did was Kristallnacht. Now, I've an interest in history; I'm a borderline genius (I'm in Mensa, so suck that); I even watch the History Channel sometimes. To be fair, I probably heard of "Kristallnacht" before, but didn't/don't recall the term. But that's kinda like hearing "fuck" for the first time after you realized how "bad" a word it was. So it's weird. Kristallnacht was extremely evil. It was like for Satan what Thanksgiving or New Year's Eve is for us... According to the Apple Mac "Dashboard" Dictionary Kristallnacht is defined as: the occasion of concerted violence by Nazis throughout Germany and Austria against Jews and their property on the night of November 9-10, 1938. [ORIGIN Germany, literally 'night of crystal,' referring to the broken glass produced by the smashing of store windows.] 9:41:22 PM    comment []
