out of boredom, I kind of meandered around the net for a bit, & ended up here --I would like to point to the first link: "Grow the economy & create jobs"
this kinda makes me wonder--not because of the goofy construction (which is common enough on the 'net) & the fact that "Economic Growth & the Creation of Jobs" would take up the same...

it seems ironic to me that people with adenoid problems can't say "adenoids"
that's my deep thought for the day.

Amusingly, there is a mechanical property called CREEP. Its quantified as the elongation over a duration of time for a material subject to a constant load.

heh, heh "constant load"
some sort of Incident at the prison last night (a couple of hours ago)--not sure what happened, exactly, but I was posted in the little machine-gun nest over the courtyard, which mostly involves popping doors, opening gates & staying awake.
shortly after the 3 a.m. count was called there was a burst of static over the radio, followedby something garbled, then ".....culinary!", then "All available...

White-out. I assume it's one of the names you may call this kind of white paint used for correcting letters, etc, it is? However, as it sounds a bit ambiguous to my foreign ears, my first thoughts has been it could be a good title for a book, for it's always better for a book's title to convey at least some differents meanings. But does it sounds in any way ambiguous to english speaking people?
Hope you had sweet dreams after work, anyway.

highly recommended sight: Ironic Times --it's hit-or-miss as far as satire goes, but the hits seem to outweigh the misses (actually, this week is one of the weaker issues, but it's still pretty funny)

one of those notions born of beer & bewilderment that will probably go nowhere, but:
back in the weird old days of the early 70's there was a President named Nixon & there was an organization called CREEP, which stood for the Committee to Re-Elect the President.
I'm thinking that it might be time to dust off the name, that wonderful acronym, for a new...

le donna a volte si sono scontrose
o forse han voglia di far la pipi...

Or perhaps they just need to pee...)

Ha! beat THAT, Bob "Mr. Clever-pants" Dylan!

some quotes from Mr. Marshall McLuhan:
The story of modern America begins With the discovery of the white man by
The Indians.
Only puny secrets need protection....

I leave some days pass whithout connecting... and what do I find when I'm back to my SG page? a poem by Hafiz!
la vita e bella!
...la vita e bella... of course Paolo Conte makes it ancora piu bella... but did you hear Gian Maria Testa? He's not got as much of a bluesman's voice as Conte, but he has great texts and musics, too.
Also, interesting journal entries on ratsonjulia's page... I dunno why, I'm currently thinking of this Borges short-short story that ends with the line "frankly, I can't remember if we both committed suicide that very night".

My official "post" at the Prison is "Vacation Relief" which pretty much means that I fill any slot vacated by an officer who is on vacation or has called in sick. what this means, generally, is that I don't know where I'll be or with whom I'll be working until I check in at the Seargent's desk at the beginning of the shift. it doesn't...

I put off doing my taxes this year until the last minute because I figured (for some ungodly reason) that I'd be getting money back, & having funds in potentia works better for me than having it in hand, as I tend to do rather foolish things with money in hand...I finally worked out a rough draft the other day & figure that,...

I'm sure you're an excellent protest letters writer.
But the question is.. do they DESERVE one, these guys from the IRS? Are they able to fully appreciate it? In this subculture of theirs, aren't they taught that a man's greatest literary achievement is a well-calligraphed signature on a check?

I'm pretty paranoid (& I think that if you ain't, yer just not paying attention) in that I pretty much suspect that there's a hell of a lot more to whatever the Government (ANY government, even the damn Water Board, when you get right down to it) or the Media (even, say, the Water Board newsletter) tells me is immediately suspect.

I caught a bit on the news yesterday about medical conditions in Iraq, a glowing report to the effect that our boys & girls have all the most modern surgical teams on hand, & have available to them "quick response medical teams virtually identical to what they would get here in the States." which is great, but at the same time...
