ON WITH THE SHOWS THIS IS IT

[Ace]

Hope no looters come in here and try to hijack this.

* Beware of any apartment complex or motel that has the word "dome" in its title...

* New Orleans = Waterworld  
Both were dismal epics...

* So how the heck is Mississippi doing, anyway, since they actually took the full frontal assault...?  Seems to have disappeared in the news heirarchy.

* What'd be really cruel is yell "Suicide Bomber!" on one of those bridges full of people in N.O.

* New Orleans = Atlantis

* So, is it now 'Oh when the Saints.. come swimming in...' ?

* So how come a poast about nothing reaches 2 pages?  Is that some kinda achievement, or what?

* On a lighter note, did you ever notice that Women's magazines have covers promoting articles that stress quantity of info?  As in:
20 Tips to Sneak in Fitness or 14 Medical Tests That Can Save Your Life or 383 How To Ideas or 34 Ways to Pamper Yourself or 53 Summer Recipes or 65 Organizing Ideas or 22 Secrets to Feeling Happy Every Day

These were actual titles, accurately quoted.  I didn't even include the "Erase Belly Fat in Just 1 Week"  Shoot, I don't want my head on my knees.

* It sounds like the choice is to shoot the looting scum in LA, or throw the lowlife crud in the scum for the gators, or just wait for the toxic septic stew to take hold.

* I've got some swampland in New Orleans I could sell you...

* I'm still thinking of visiting there... maybe around 2025.

* For the Water Park.

* Evacuations are like "Hide and Seek"... hide from the storm, and then try to seek your possessions.  They should have just told those folks "You can't take it with you."

* I'm sure the insurance companies are making quick and fair settlements.  Not.  I'm sure it's "well, we first have to verify you actually lost your home and possessions.  Let us know when you get there and can confirm.  Then we'll send an agent right out..."

* a giant "Gone Fishin'" sign lifted over the city would probably be ok.

* Health Professions are a growth field.  At least until you're working 24/7 in a skeleton crew in a hospital run by generators and your car battery and stereo were just lifted from your car in the parking garage...  

* They could work at WalMart when this is all over, I guess.  Do the greeters there get guns, now?

* I'd like to see an A-10 come over the city to pinpoint the shooters of the Medivac Helicopters.  That'd be worth News at 11 tonight.

* Ok, here's a joke:  A city with a lake on the north and a river in the middle and the ocean below it that's built below sea level walks into a bar in a hurricane...

* And he says to the bartender; "It's ok, I've got these pumps that will pump the water back into the lake after the levee breaks and the lake dumps into the city."  

* The best logic is circular.

* I live by Murphy, and his Law sure rules the Gulf.

Ace; are you ready for some Football?

[Bill]

Thanks for your effort.

"What part of "N.O." don't I understand..?"  None of it!

I am agast at the ineptitude or complete lack of coordination at providing survial support.  Brown (FEMA) says on national TV "I don't know any thing about the Convention Center situation."  Geez, watch CNN and learn something.

Hundreds of buses outside  the city, drivers afraid to come in but the TV shows armed SWAT Teams arriving and rolling right in.  How 'bout the SWAT Teams escorting the buses in?????

Geez

[Ace]

I appreciate your appreciation.  

The Red Cross is interviewing people up here, to see if they might want to travel south to assist.  Of course, they have to pay for their own Hep A and Tetanus and provisions...  I'm sure they'll be set up and have aid stations all over the area, by Christmas.

I don't get what the guard and S.W.A.T. teams are protecting, either.  I mean, "property" seems a bit of a low priority since the merchandise has already been lifted and the residences are a bit under the weather.  Maybe the human collateral could deserve some attention, at least for awhile.  

Maybe there will be a "CSI - N.O." as a new series.  "Underwater Crime Scene Investigation."

Actually, UCSI sounds like it'd be University of California -  Southern Illinois.  That's stretching things.

ace; I guess they go by "Saints" 'cause they're dead.

[Bill]

For instance, Bell South has a major building in the Central Business District that is a focal point for most of their phone service in the South East.   2 days ago the fire department had to pump water into the chillers to keep the systems running.  If that place "fell", phone service in the entire Southeast would be interrupted.
Some things are worth protecting.

The locals are calling people who still refuse to leave the Superdome "die hard Saints' fans."  Gotta be a little nuts.

[Ace]

"Saints fans."  Right.  Did they have paper bags over their heads?  

Ace; I'd want a bag over my head if I had to go into one of those restrooms.

[Ace]

A peek at this Fall's New Lineup of Shows:

As a break with the CSI serieses and Law And Orders (Laws and Order?) out there that suffocate the primetime offerings we are Blessed with a whole new genre:

Aliens Invading!

* "THRESHOLD"  Aliens invade and apparently mimic synchronized swimming, or old Busbee (Busby?) Berklee/June Taylor Dancer choreography filmed from above as stuff starts spinning in patterns revealing their superior intelligence and motor skills.  They must creep into people, causing a "The Thing" kinda reaction based on the glazed eyes and flesh wounds.  The fate of the world is in the hands of an attractive woman.  Thank goodness it's not in the hands of a fat or ugly woman (sorry pat; only way I could think to work that in).

* "SURFACE" aliens invade (see title) and fall out of the sky in glowing orbs during a hurricane.  Obviously they aren't mistaken for federal or state or local aid falling out of the sky, since those are invisible during and immediately after hurricanes.  They must go underwater and turn into big clams or something... I think a kid gathers some and stuffs them into his aquarium and they break out.  Maybe like the girl in Species, from the glass room.  Or the shells in Alien...  It might be like both of those.

* "SOME OTHER ALIENS INVADING SHOW I CAN'T REMEMBER THE DANG TITLE OF" "Invasion" I just saw the commercial again last night... I think there's one of somebody getting thrown out into a swamp, and she smells funny afterward which her kid is quick to point out.  I tell ya, kids can be very observant and brutally honest.  And you want to slap them when they say honest observant rude things like that.  This one might be "Surface(d)"... I think I'm already getting them confused.

OH; and also:
GHOST STORY SHOWS
* Sam Malone sees ghosts, and talks to them.
* Jennifer Love Hewitt (you wouldn't even recognize the name "Jennifer Hewitt" would you) whispers to ghosts.  Weird thing is the ghost is the guy from the Prison show who went in to save his brother.  I guess he got executed instead.  That's bad luck. I wonder if you die if your toes grow back.  I know your toenails keep going, so it seems possible.  I'd hope the fungus would die with you...

*After INXS finally eliminates all the replacement singers and becomes an instrumental group the Rolling Stones host a show where they are replaced by contestants who are still alive.  The Black Crowes singer gets increasingly worried as unknown male singers do his stuff better than him, which isn't saying much.

*Monday Night Football enjoys its last year on Network TV before shifting to cable, where nobody will watch it anymore.  You can take your pick as to which that refers to.

* Fear Factor, after reaching the limits of filmed nausea, decides to just throw contestants into the toxic stew that is New Orleans and make them eat a submerged house.

* "Survivor: New Orleans" begins.  As a surprise, 10,000 previous participants are brought into the Superdome to compete with this year's crew in a competion to find clean water and a toilet that works.  One tribe is eliminated when they are able to build a fire that ignites a natural gas leak and blows them all partially into the Mississippi.  The root word of "partially" is...

* "HOUSE" (no; not that Big Brother House crap) starts with a blockbuster opening episode where a patient comes to the team with a mysterious breathing disorder and congestion, and they try all manner of heroic gestures including experimental drugs and leeches and amputation and yelling at him to no avail...  They finally discover his mysterious ailment is a Cold and he gets better with some orange juice and bed rest.

*"PRISON BREAK" a new series in which a midwestern man is falsely accused and imprisoned for buying decongestants with the banned substance Pseudoephedrine after having to go to his neighborhood Oscos and sign away his life and reveal multiple ID's and a sworn statement that he promises never ever to make crystal meth with it.  And to think you used to be able to actually get them at the grocery... Criminy.

* "REVENGE" a show where the man breaks out of prison and dumps ammonia in the doorway of Osco's, to get back at them for the hassle of having to buy a stupid cold pill like it's something dangerous.

Ace; criminy doesn't pay.

[Bill]

Re: House: Since this is set in NJ, you left out the most important treatment modality: administration of chicken soup.  Cures all matter of ills.

"Saints fans"  or "Saints' fans"?  Now IF there were Saints in New Orleans, which there obviously haven't been,  and people were fond of them, wouldn't the people who WERE fond of them, before the disaster,  be fans of Saints?  The fans belong to the Saints, yes?

[Ace]

I can just see Dr. House doing one of those sappy sickening "Chicken Soup for the _________" books.  Maybe:
* Chicken Soup for the Lame
* Chicken Soup for the seemingly terminally ill
* Chicken Soup for British people who talk without an accent
* Chicken Soup for Health Insurance Companies*

* they would spit it back at you and then refuse to cover your cleaning bill and any burns.

Hey, just as a rhetorical question:  How Come hospitals have to piece together your Entire History and Persona Every Single Time You Show Up There, Even If You Were There recently and/or frequently?  Geez Louise, I don't know what they use for a database.. probably a bunch of nursing assistants with an etch-a-sketch locked in a basement room who try to enter your info on it...  And then the janitor has to shake the thing every night before he leaves.

I kinda hope Hell's Kitchen is back on this season, although I gotta think there wouldn't be anyone to try out... and there's not a lot more that could happen on it.  Unless they don't bleep him out and we get to hear what the Chef really thinks about people.

I can't wait for the new season of "Lost" either...  I bet the whole thing with this island is it was invaded by aliens who are living in that metal thing under the island and they teach the survivors to do synchronized swimming routines with the polar bears and teach them the mysteries of the pyramids after which they build one and put a radar dish on top and hear a lost transmission of another island of castaways of which there's a skipper and a rich couple and a scientist and a movie star and a farmgirl and a

Well, I guess that's all there is, there.  

Ace; R.I.P. Dobie and Maynard.  And Chatsworth Osborne Jr.

[Bill]

R.I.P. Dobie.  

FYI, a none rhetorical response, if you are visiting a JCHA accredited hospital, they must maintain a unit record system.  That means that all your records are maintained in a single file,  Electronic or Paper.  I am just obstinate enough to demand that they pull or access the file before they start askng me the same intake questions they asked the last time and the time before and so on.  
Stand up for your rights.  The Commission demands a Unit Record System so that all that is "known" about you is available to assist in your treatment this time and the next.  What they should be asking is "Are there any changes in your personal situaltion that we should know about."  In particular, they want to know if your insurance carrier changed, and where should they send their bill.  

[Ace]

Well, last time I went to the ER the only change in my personal situation was a feeling of tightness in my chest and a few other possible heart attack symptoms.  Plus, a really nice breakfast a few hours beforehand.

I guess that makes sense about the single file thing.  Probably tended by a monkey mounted at a keyboard in a closet by the front desk.

We just changed to a new Blue Cross/Blue Shield coverage, after having a different carrier Blue Cross/Blue Shield coverage.  My wife had to go to the ER and follow-up visit after a mishap while rafting in our local waterway...  I get this letter from BCBS wanting me to basically identify ourselves (obviously already tagged with name/address/soc sec number) and sign-off that it's our primary coverage, before they'll touch anything.  Which was pretty much already noted on the app materials through work.  Geeeeez Louise.

I do have a deep respect and fear of open wounds in polluted waters after all this, I will say.

Ace; I actually remember both Darryl, and Dwayne, Hickman.

[Bill]

I can sympathize.  Couple of months back I presented myself for some blood work at the local Horspital, as an ol' timer used to call them.   45 minutes of "outpatient intake processing" and 5 minutes to draw the blood.  Fifteen minutes later the results were available and they sent the report to the wrong doctor.  The bill, however, arrived at the right address promptly.

I basically fear any open wounds, particularly in me.

[Ace]

Well with something roaming your house with teeth that large I'd fear flesh wounds, too.  I wonder if the doctor then diagnosed somebody, with your blood tests.  Probably.  

This is a real end around, but I figure nobody but us is reading this anyway and if somebody does it'll just confuse them as to which poast they're in, anyway:  I saw where FEMA ordered 25,000 body bags for N.O.; asked if they thought they would need that many the response was "Well, we want to be prepared..."

Good deal; be prepared for the dead, after you couldn't manage to be for the living.  I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

ACe; I don't know if I'd prefer a zip lock, or just a twistie....

[Bill]

FEMA is not to be believed.  3 days after the Storm, my daughter applied for FEMA relief assistance, direct deposit, gave them the info , said she left with little and nothing.  10 days later there has been no response.  Good thing she had those McDonalds' coupons.  If she were out on the street and starving, she'd be history.  The Gov't seems to talk a lot but can't walk the walk.  

Louisiana unemployment is about the same story.   Set up a special on-line appplication for disaster people,  promised a quick turn-around.  Same story.  NO acknowledgement and no checks.  Geez.  FEMA is handing out $2000 debit cards but only at the Astrodome.  Why is that?  One might wonder about all the people along the rest of the Gulf shore.  Some of them haven't seen any help at all.

Don't even ask about the New Orleans Board of Education.  She has a contract...worked a couple of weeks in the new school year.   Payroll?  Duh?  Maybe.   Company that manages the NOPS system says "funding is determined by enrolled students"  - no students, no funding.. Geez.  What did they do with the School Taxes?  Well, Harrah's is big in Nawlin's.

Don't get me started.....but then, I guess you did......

Sorry, just feeling a bit frustrated.  And, no, I don't feel a dang bit better.........

[Ace]

I wouldn't expect you to; there's gonna be a lot of people not feeling too good for a good long while on this one.  I didn't know that about the Astrodome distribution; they were making it sound like these cards miraculously appeared in the hands of all the needy yesterday.  I just saw the morning news with a clip of the FEMA head expressing dismay when he found out about the N.O. Convention Ctr. disaster, as they had no idea that was going on.  Criminy, they had no idea anything was going on... and apparently his Resume was done by Coach O'Leary Services as they padded his "emergency management" expertise promoting him from an assistant to the assistant in an administrative role to one who would seem to have some prior experience, albeit in the 70's.  But he's good with show horses and was a roomie of the prior FEMA head so those connections made him well qualified for his role.

I guess there might be teaching jobs in the Astrodome; I wonder if they limit class size to 10,000?  

As I expressed earlier, I wouldn't be surprised if the total focus is on N.O. from this point and everyone sorta forgets the other regions hit.  Parts of Jefferson Parish appeared to be coming to life, and back in business; they'll probably force them to close and everyone out now.  If the mayor's whole plan for this was for everyone to leave, and continues on that bent, is he still then a mayor if there are no constituents left...?

I guess that's like saying "Is a Jester still the jester, if there's no one there to get his jokes?"

Ace; heck, no one gets my jokes anyway.

[Bill]

Limiting class size is a good idea.  By N.O. standards, that would require 2 teachers.  The other couple of thousand could watch as sort of a continuijng education program. Probably even get credits for it, and a raise in the union scale for next year;  if there is a "next year."

Nothing yet from FEMA.  I think we'll rename the agency to DEMA,  as in Dumbest

Bill

[Ace]

You know, our stupid local teacher's union always goes for more money and concedes class size limits... And guess what; they're complaining this year about the class sizes.  

Also figured out a great way for school corporations like ours to save money; Don't Bus Every Dang Kid.  Just think of the gas and bus savings.  I used to walk to school, or carry my lunch.  And really avoided the bus if at all possible...

I see "Brownie" was sent home packing from the disaster zone...  I can see why the Arabjan horse group told him to get out of there, too.  Maybe hiring the friend of a crony (cronie?) isn't the best selection practice.  

ace; assistant to the assistant Director of Humour.

[Bill]

Even that can get carried to an extreme.  When mine were still in school the demarcation of bus/no bus, based on distance from the school, was on our street.   Yep,  the kid next door, less than 1.8 miles from the building couldn't take the bus.   But mine did.  

[Ace]

Yeah, I was a couple miles away from High School.  It took about 45 minutes to walk...  I went to football practice, walked home, walked back and practiced, walked home... I didn't make the 3rd practice that day.  Pretty short career.  

It's ok, though; as bad as my knees are I can imagine what they'd be like if I woulda stayed.

You know what they say; walk a .1 mile in another man's shoes.  Or less.

Ace; hardly anyone got to ride the bus in New Orleans...

[Bill]

Gotta wonder who's ( whos') better off.  I think I'd rather be arrivin' after all the rest have been "saved."  Maybe leftovers but something is better than a bath in the lake that was New Orleans.

The daughter, now in Chicago, (missed WB entirely) is looking for a job.  Having been a bartender on Bourbon St. may yet have some worth.  At least she can tell Blues from Jazz.   But Blues seems to be the prevailing mood.  Hurricane anyone?

[Ace]

Or a Blue Lagoon.  Well, probably a putrid black lagoon would be more like it.  Yes, Chicago Blues is quite the thing in Chicago.  I suppose the drunks are pretty much the same though, regardless of what they're unconciously listening to.  

Here's a random thought; there's this big stink from the NCAA about offensive team names like Seminoles and Illini and Warriors and Zips....  How come Miami gets away with being the Hurricanes? Huh?

I was just kidding about the "Zips."  Purdue plays them today.  I was gonna say Zips might be short for "Zippers," so the short form of the "Buttons" would be the

Then I thought not to.  

You know, kids could be present yada yada.  Well, pat could be too, so either way.  Speaking of looking forward toward turning 5, I noticed Karen has a birthday.  We haven't had one of those for awhile for someone I actually recognize, so I think I'll start something over there.  Then I'll meet everyone back over here.

Ace; Bill = "everyone"

[Ace]

My Gosh, It's "The Phantom"...!  Oh Ghost Who Walks!

Good to see you.  Well, actually, I can't see you.  Good to talk with you though!

Well, you know, I'm not really talking to you... I'm typing toward you.  "Keyboarding", as it were.  Was.  Is.  Am.  What I am.  Here.

I thought if I said "George Costanza" it might bring you back to life... Not that this is all that lively, you know?  Anyway, it was nice to see you appear and quote me.  It gets boring reading stuff I write, sometimes.  It's nice if someone else would say what I'm saying, just so I can gain a fresh perspective.  

I can't get enough of myself, somedays.  You'd think I'd get full of Me, but that doesn't happen too often.  Sometimes I laugh out loud, right before I think of something.

Ace; the menage e trois is back.  I wonder if we could all poast under the same name...

[Bill]

Pardon me for my apparent lack of sensitivity, but I think the NCAA is full of, well themselves.   Even the local high school removed an arrow symbol from the helmuts last year.   The sister school, the Cowboys, didn't have to drop the the Cowboy hat.  According to aGeez,  Talk about overkill.

Nice to see you poasting, ja.  But you have to stop quoting the Jester.  Gives him an idea once in a while.  He seems to have enough of his own.  

Acording to a blog I'm following, the bars on Bourbon St. are still open.   Although the National Guard is having an effect on the number of patrons.  

[Whizbang]

Pardon me for my apparent lack of sensitivity, but I think the NCAA is full of, well themselves.   Even the local high school removed an arrow symbol from the helmuts last year.   The sister school, the Cowboys, didn't have to drop the the Cowboy hat.  According to aGeez,  Talk about overkill.

We have become a nation that specializes in political correctness--->for someone else.  I am part American Indian, oops, native American.  When we played cowboys and "injuns" when I was a kid, I always wanted to be with the cowboys (loved Roy Rogers and Gene Autry and was embarressed by the idea of not wearing a shirt).  I really cannot complain about that one side of the family tree split.  Although the native American part of the tree often was beseiged by do-gooders to get governmental support and even developed a strong obsession for drinking Arkansas moonshine "firewater," the other side never could seem to understand that it is not necessary for a girl to get married before she is 15 years old.  Heck, I was disappointed when Frito dropped its "Frito Bandito;" and I have yet to see anyone of Mexican heritage that was in the least offended.  I even lived in El Paso, Texas; and Fritos were the mainstay of the food pyramid at the time, a dire necessity when you had to eat in the school halls because the sand storms had filled the lunch hall with grit.  Besides, Fritos are naturally crunchy anyway, and the sand just added a bit of bite to the delicacy.

It was the lawsuit against the Florida State Seminoles that really caused an uproar.  It seems that the Seminole nation treasured that last bit of recognition more than any other bit of racial "impropriety."  At least the Seminole football team is accustomed to winning.  The real problem will arise when the Oklahoma State Cowboys have to play the Florida State Seminoles.  Will the Cowboys have to roll over and play dead in the interest of political correctness?  That is highly unlikely because, in recent years, those "injuns" have been rolling over most of their opponents without any help at all.  Of course, if they should happen to start losing, the Seminole nation may decide that banning their name from the school is appropriate after all.

[Ace]

And I am mostly Indiana Indian.  It's not the same thing.

If the Miami Hurricanes had a kicking game the Seminoles could have considered their dilemma further.  Stink.

I feel there are other more offensive and ill-mannered namesakes out there:

* The Virginia Cavaliers.  Where the heck do they get off calling their team after some colonial dandys....  Do they have an attitude.

* The Purdue Boilermakers.  A motif born of hired-gun ringers, uncouth and without academic credentials....  

* The Indiana Hoosiers; first off, they should be Indians, duh.  Secondly, nobody knows what a "Hoosier" is supposed to be, so why do it?

* The Ohio State Buckeyes:  They're nuts.

* The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Michigan State Spartans; who says the Irish are prone to fighting?  And why can't Greeks own nice things..?  

* The Iowa State Cyclones; most Confused team symbol, based on a cardinal in a whirlwind.

* The Auburn War Eagles/Tigers; make up your mind already.

* The Bama Crimson Tide and the Stanford Cardinal; since when is a color an appropriate symbol..?  And the weird pun of the Elephant mascot (from "Tuscaloosa") and the Tree mascot (Stanford) is just too weird.

* Ace; I'm waiting for the "Fighting Jesters."  I am.

[Ace]

Nobody else is up yet, so I figured I'd just talk to myself for awhile.

You know, every one of these new Aliens shows; Surfaced, Invasion, Threshold (Threshhold?)
involve a select few earthlings who must save the planet.  I don't know if it would be good to wind up one of the select few left to save everybody else, or just be one of the huddled masses having their appendages deform and eyes bug out and minds being taken over by alien lifeforms.  

I wonder if any aliens on some other planet are having new shows based on Earthlings taking over their place.  "Yeah, right" would probably be their reaction to that.

Unless they happened to catch a re-run of Star Trek, and thought it was real... "Hey, Zork, check this out; it's an antique car show."

I'm pretty sure there's some alien life form out there named "Zork."  Or a lineman for Pittsburgh.

ACe; no, that'd probably by "Zryrk."

[Ace]

When I do I don't listen.  The thing is, then I get upset and start yelling...

Here's a refreshing observation:  I'm watching Matt Lauer interview the Rolling Stones, and I realize Keith now resembles Kramer.  Same hair, especially.  

It's a pretty sad band you've got when Ron Wood is the best looking... But they still rock.  

Ace; an' that's a fact Bubba, as they say down south...

[Bill]

Doesn't much matter what Ronny Wood looks like.  No video on MP3.  Best dang mandolin player in a long time.  Just ask Rod Stewart  He'll agree with me, even if all the hip folks don't.

[Ace]

Well, yeah.  Heck, I'd agree.  "Mandolin Wind" had a mandolin in it, I think.  "Maggie May" had mandolin.  I've played a mandolin before; I did ok with it.  I liked it more than a ukelele, but heck I like anything better than a ukelele.  You know, expensive mandolins are more expensive than about anything else...  That surprised me.

It's weird to think back to the Faces being originally the "Small Faces" because they were little guys... You'd think they coulda gone with "The Big Noses" instead.

I just ordered Jeff Beck's "Flash" CD, since it had "People Get Ready" with Rod Stewart.  He did that great on one of those Katrina Koncert specials.  

Of course, then I remembered I already had the tune on my Jeff Beck Box Set.  What a maroon...

Last Night was the first big decision of the New TV Season: to watch "House" or "Supernatural".  We watched Supernatural, and taped House.  

Ace; now to remember to watch the dang tape...  Media is complicated.  Heck, a medium is complicated, to me.

[Ace]

Well, being bipolar, let me just carry on this conversation with myself.

Ok, self, I did get the "Flash" CD from Amazon and I can't wait to hear the "People Get Ready" cut so I can compare it with the same cut from the Jeff Beck box set.  I also bought "With the Beatles" since you can't get "Meet the Beatles" on CD as it was on record.. "With" is the British version of the first Capitol album, and it's just missing a couple cuts but added some nice alternatives.  I thought of buying the whole massive Capitol Years group but I decided it was overwhelming plus I decided I didn't need mono tracks too, plus the odd foreign language versions.  "Ich Liebe Deine Hund" or whatever.

I wanted JD to get booted off the INXS show, but he actually does the best impression of Mitch Hutchence... I liked Susie but I knew they weren't going to go with a female singer.  And if they did, I'd fear for her safety with the leering old rockers...

"Survivor" is on tonight; I like watching people suffer if they're volunteers, so I'll enjoy that.  My wife thinks Rob and Amber are the two coming back.  As long as it isn't Richard and his nakey bum I'll be happy.  

Ace; ok, gotta run.

[Buffalo2102]

Has he been stolen?  Who'd want to steal a jester?  Can't see any profit in that, I mean who would buy a "used" jester?  Is there such a thing as a fool fence?

Personally, I think he just got fed up with talking to himself in here.  Bill has been his only friend here for a while, except for the odd appearance of yourself (and the not at all odd appearance of myself).  I guess it can get lonely keeping these rooms going single-handed.

Buff; Hello, anyone there?
