Just saw the runner up to the runner up for president at the grocery store. He knows his produce.
You missed your chance to tell him that the most recent season of Curb Your Enthusiasm was pretty meh.

I don't usually watch the Golden Globes, but if last night was any indication of past shows, then blergh. It was bloody awful.

From John Ralston Saul's The Doubter's Companion:
Award Show: Mechanism by which the members of a given profession attempt to give themselves the attributes of the pre-modern ruling classes—the military, aristocracy and priesthood—by assigning various orders, decorations and medals to each other.

These shows are a superficial expression of corporatism. As with the pre-modern classes, their awards relate principally to relationships within the profession. Each time the words “I want to thank” are used by someone being decorated, they indicate a relationship based on power. The awards have little to do with that corporation’s relationship to the outside world—what you might call the public—or for that matter with quality.

So back in the early 90s I bought a really cool and long since discontinued winter hat with the Alternative Tentacles logo on it. Eventually I had kids and they started wearing it. They would lose it from time to time then about 2 years ago it disappeared seemingly for good. Then Im at the grocery store today and I see this guy wearing the same hat. Sure he could have bought one of his own but those are some long odds.

Both, I guess. But the show. It seems very SCTV.

The jocks in my Boston area high school wore those letterman jackets. On guy who grew up on my street had one with his nickname, Snake, on the sleeve. 20 years later I was in a bar in Jackson Heights, Queens and there was a guy wearing that very jacket. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Snake McDermott.

Wonder what 101 has been up to lately?

Wonder no more:

Kiwi jams police frequency with N.W.A. song "Fuck Tha Police" for days on end.

Every one in Vermont knows one another.

See the "Alternative Tentacles" anecdote upthread as proof.
