Andy Rooney's last 60 Minutes show will be this Sunday.


Strange the things that come up in the news feed on my trading platform.

I remember wondering years ago who would take over for him (it was going to be Molly Ivins, before she passed away)
Who's going to take over, or are they going to retire that part of the show?

One of my wife's relatives forwarded me (and the rest of the family) an email encouraging us to participate in some sort of scam regarding free laptops.  My reply-to-all was lengthly and informative.

QuoteDESIRED SKILLS:
Experience training/working in a warzone is highly desired. Ability to effectively communicate orally, in writing and interpersonally; analyze and convey technical and non-technical issues; organize and plan; exercise good judgment. Ability to apply leadership skills; advocate new ideas, lead others, and delegate responsibility is highly desired. Ability to interact and communicate with individuals from diverse backgrounds and training foreign nationals is also desired.

Can't find my damn glasses.  I'm pretty much blind without them anymore.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Why did I have to look this up...

QuoteClass S (クラスS Kurasu Esu?), or "S kankei", abbreviated either as S or Esu (エス?), is an early twentieth century Japanese wasei-eigo term specifically used to refer to strong emotional bonds between schoolgirls, and a genre of girl's fiction (少女小説 shōjo shōsetsu?) which tells stories about the same, particularly a mutual crush between an upperclassman and an underclassman.
