LiveBlog for Thursday, March 11, 2010

there's a new kind of dentist available, trained in the third world and unlicensed in the US--you can find them all over Detroit. They do their work with ether and a dremel tool. Fillings, bridges, and crowns are hand-molded epoxy.

I liked zumwalt, personally. maybe he wrecked the navy. it looked pretty wrecked to begin with. The f-4 was the most deadly looking plane ever. a 280Z with power windows. but it wasn't built for an actual battle zone but some science fiction battle zone. the american military seems to think in terms of domination--dominate the skies and you won't have to actually dogfight. But that requires a lot of cooperation from the enemy. I remember an art buchwald column of the era that cited a plane flown by the North Vietnamese that couldn't be shot down by our supersonic jets because it was too slow. He had a lot of fun with that, imagining the air force requisitioning a thousand kitty hawk era biplanes so the pilot, lying across the wing, could engage the enemy with a pellet gun.

Hear that, Danielle? Fort Lauderdale!

OK, bye all.

430: just get a cheaper dentist. save money and hear the show too.

418: it's like 186K mps; it's not just a good idea; it's the law.

have a great afternoon everyone!

I see everyone is having fun today. I'm just reduced to banging my head against my desk.

I really should remember to bring a radio with me tomorrow so I can catch hours 2 & 3 at the Fortress. But I'll probably forget.

415: good work, daniellesan. now we have kat half asleep in frakkin frog pajamas. we'll have to wheel her into the village, incognito.

418 - I am, yes.

Mama's washing machine has been running WAY TOO SMOOTHLY... so she's calling the repair man to the laundry room to give him a piece of her mind.

(bow-chicka-bow-bow)

423... Had to comment before I left... I really was starting to feel like the only liberal redneck.. nice to know I'm not..

toodles!

Stupak posse of obstructionists

later ya'lls.

407: "....Someone I recently befriended on FB told me my pics contain more cowboy hats then they’d seen in their whole life"

in other words, they hadnt seen MY fb pics yet. if i remember right, that's ALL i have on.

well, I have to run before you can answer that... if you are, look me up under kdguilday@live.com. :)

#416 - yup

So enjoy when Hal "visits"...AND, Patrick Kennedy IS so "spot on"...my heroes will be those who stand up loud and proud and take on our awful and inept paid for media both on the telly and in print! It became painfully obvious during the BUSH YEARS that an informed citizenry incapable of critical thinking was preferred by many in POWER...especially those in the lunatic right...easier to dump religion and fundamentalist claptrap down the throats (or "jam it down" as they seem to prefer)...the "MEDIA" we have today facilitates this position continually!!!! Just two sad examples: Chris Matthews and David Gregory (not worth mentioning Faux News)...tune in to PBS/NPR for half a chance an unbiased reporting in detail....

Look up in the4 sky it's a bird it's a plane it's superman!! Yes it's superman strange visitor from another planet who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Yes it's superman who can change the corse of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands. And who disguised as clark kent(puts on glasses)mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper fights a never ending battle for truth justice and the american way!!

415... are you on facebook?

406 I like your analysis, but it reminds me of why the Navy bought
the F-4 Phantom jet back in the late 50s... with no gun, 'cause all
aerial combat would be done beyond visual range with missiles. Then
came Vietnam, and ancient obsolete MiGs were beating us, because
they could dogfight, and we couldn't. Like you said, we're betting
on a slender reed. Originally 36 Zumwalts were to be built, now I
think just two, or none... and ya got the numbering screwed up,
the next DDG shouldn't be 1000... and most Zumwalt era sailors hated
Zumwalt, said he wrecked the Navy.

411.. the Toasters rock.. as do the Skafollaws, the Pietasters, Ruder Than You, etc... :) All probably have "drop-worthy" music. :)

407 - Pardon me while I swoon at the cowgirl image.

coliseumload... is that the standard equivalent of a metric ****-tonne?

#382: Agreed! It takes all sorts. Different strokes and all that. Dirty thoughts in clean jammies...

In the commercial for the LiveBlog, I always wonder what the beeping sound is. It always sounds like you guys are generating some awful Windows error messages.

I need to try a Toasters bump...

364: "....Do you know how many viewings of “The Rocketeer” I’m going to have to go through to restore Dalton’s badassery in my mind....."

i do know that according to massa, the word rockatier describes the amount of energy released by a coliseumload of soldiers from his yearbook. - good luck getting past that word.

Not sure where bean bag chairs and black lights were channeled from, but does any1 remember beer can collections? Do people still do that?

397 well, slutty is good, but I try to draw the line at diseased skank

404. Daisy dukes can be worn with anything! But to be honest, you'd be much more likely to find me in jeans, boots, and a cowboy hat. :) Someone I recently befriended on FB told me my pics contain more cowboy hats then they'd seen in their whole life... lol

the stealth destroyer escorts are designed to manage a battle from beyond the horizon. All the maintenance normally done by the crew would be handled in the yards. Virtually all of the crew would be experts in battle systems, so you'd have men able to run the missle systems but unable to maintain them. An awacs would detect jets in the sky a hundred miles away, identify them as enemy, and then the escort could remove them from the sky, never having seen them. Sonar would detect a submarine at great distance, make sure it's an enemy craft, and them blow it up with a subroc. An aircraft task force approaching a hundred miles away would be identified and counted and a salvo of tiny missiles would take out the lightly armored ships one by one. Essentially, a single destroyer escort could replace a submarine, a fleet of surface ships, and several wings of airplanes. If it works, it could save billions of dollars in fuel, training, and shipbuilding. If it doesn't, we're betting our future on a slender reed.

363: "did Franken really say that to Bar?"

that is for reals. - a conversation on airforce-1.

362: "I think I’ve more than demonstrated I’m as much of a pervert as all a’ yall’s…"

and it explains the innovative research, whereby we now know that the formal fro wig can also be worn with the stars-and-bars daisy dukes.

Yii! Who *SMARTAed* ??

dang, bit overmodulated rep Kennedy?

I've heard more coherent rants (and less whiny) from WWE episodes.

does KJI rounge alround a dey? on rov-seats?

388 that's what I wanted to know, what was the guy's temperature? but
I think it got answered here yesterday, something like "medium rare",
or "taffy"

Well, there's some sort of psych theory about men's views on women that's characterizes their preferences to be something along the lines of "innocent whore" or something like that. I forget exactly the term for it. Basically, it's that guys like dirty-minded women who at the same time are innocent. *shrugs* Then again, most of psych seems about as scientific as astrology sometimes.

Me, it's not that I don't like the guys having dirty thoughts about me, but I'd rather hear the dirty thoughts that girls have about me. ;)

#265: And of course squirrels can get into ANYTHING - and they'll spend all day trying, cause they've got nothing better to do. Far less squirrels here in LA than back East, unless you live somewhere leafy.

LOL... back at 'ya Mark! :)

390 you are so cool Danielle. I love you!

intriguing. just how many ORAL SEX SPARTAE have there been so far ?

does anyone know where that poke SFX comes from - the 'bloink" one ProC ran? i can't find it!

382 SNL skit where the knight decides he doesn't want to rescue the
virgin, he wants the slutty one instead...

I'll never tire of saying it: drunk and slutty is a great way for
a young woman to go through life. Or sober and slutty. Or an older
woman. my buddy said it, back in the day, while we were sitting
around the barracks... "Beautiful Sluts, they make the world go around"

Kathleen: "what, are you saying you liked me because you thought I
was a slut?!"
Me: "No, I liked you because you were just slutty enough to go out
with me."

375 / 378 / 387 - See, this is why my friends all joke that I'm really a guy stuck in a chick's body... this and that I'd rather work on cars, drink beer, and watch football, then shop, go get my nails done, or well, anything... lol

291: "EVERYONE brings their meat thermometer to the theater!” That’s true – mine showed up in my girlfriend’s popcorn once."

nobody believes you're telling the truth. according to what she has posted on youtube, it's a lot more than once.

Hey maybe that chick who stabbed that guy in the neck with the meat thermometer just wanted to see if he was done.

#382 - About other women? Often.

About my woman having thoughts about other women? Always. More often if I think she'll include me.
