Thanks! I was going to go there too, but you said it better - "no other God" is one of the Top Ten.

Actually it is an arc of a Great Circle which is not necessarily a straight line.

Hmph! This was called Male Answer Syndrome back in the '80s.

Do you remember that all the refrigerators/freezers of that period latched shut? There were at least 10 children a year who died because they would get into a fridge and not be able to get out. You can get in and survive the blast but you can't get out again.

Shout out for your shout out! I love their store front (and the work they do).

I remember a scene in one bad movie where the 'hero' is surrounded by bad guys and they all chamber a round, he says something calming and they lower their weapons. He insults them and they all chamber a round - this went on at least 5 times. I know the sound of a pump shotgun chambering a round is threatening but…

Maybe because otherwise they would be cutting to the white people in the audience - maybe they wanted to show everyone in the audience. Granted there weren't many black people in the audience and the ones in the audience were moving much better. Seems like they spent a lot of time focusing on the women in the…

I get nauseous when I think about how he lost some brain when he coughed - I picture him sitting in a chair on his porch, trying not to cough, with just a little brain leaking down into his eye.

Coffee beans out-gas for about 48 hours after roasting - about 40 times the volume of the beans. If you get your coffee that fresh, don't seal the bag too tightly.

Er,.. Montanan in Seattle, going on 40 years now so, maybe I should think about that who I am a bit.

I do so much lover her! She has a wonderful sense of humor, she parties (and drunk dials the president), AND she drives the right to hyperbolic, frothing extremes.

Hearted! I was going to make a similar point using the various Articles of Secession like South Carolina's which joins its fellow 'slaveholding states' in its 3rd line or Mississippi's which waited until its 5th line before mentioning slavery and so on for Georgia and Texas

I actually got to drink beer with Bill Nye; we both belonged to the local humanist/atheist group - and, yes, drinking beer with Bill is as awesome as you imagine. I still curse Disney for screwing Bill over taking 'Bill Nye, Science Guy' national.

Blue is Oxide of Cobalt - use varying amounts of Tin Oxide (produces milk white) and you can get a full range of pastel blue. I can't find my copy of "Modern Pyrotechnics" so I am working from some books on glass-blowing. One of the Copper Oxides produces red. Gotta go - the more I look for colors, the deeper I get…

The 4th from the right is kind of like my cat - really, intensely interested nothing I can see.

Public Television has the Vime channel - that is in Spanish; they have Spanish subtitles when the show is in English.

Which one? They both seem to have crazy eyes.

The Catholics used to require that women wear scarves in church - scarves were put out in the entry for those who 'forgot'. Also please note that nuns' habits pretty much do the work of —- er, whatever those full-body, all-but-the-face garments some Muslim women wear.

I get the shivers when I think of this.

Don't forget to take apart everything in the dishwasher that you can and scrub it out. Most dishwashers have a 'whip-it' thingy that shreds most organic matter but it builds up in places. Also, some of the twig-like things never get pulverized.
