Birthday gifts....

Despite only wanting to know that I've taught someone something this year (let's say how to include a link), it's been a fine birthday. Thank for all of the calls and IMs.

As I said to my roommate this morning, "So far so good, my back and knees don't hurt too much more and apparently my bladder still works."

Maybe 26 won't be that rough.

More on the LOTR, RotK

From the January 5th, 2004 New Yorker:

“…plus, I am to thrilled report, a herd of mumakil. These are what the hobbits call oliphaunts, what Piglet used to call heffalumps, and what I would call a good excuse to take the next available flight out of Middle-earth. A mumak, to judge by the spikes on the ends of its tusks, is made by crossing a double helping of mammoth with a porcupine, and each one bears a company of archers on its back. Legolas, a fit fellow, takes one look and sees his chance for a workout. He shinnies up a back leg, hangs on to the hide, fells half the riders with a ping of his bow, chops a rope holding the rest, shoots an arrow into the presumably tiny brain of the animal, feels it slump to its knees, and then trips lightly down its trunk like Fred Astaire descending a staircase. Unconfirmed reports suggest that this is the coolest single activity ever recorded on film, and the audience around me went into spasms of worshipful hilarity. Somebody to my left actually stood to applaud, as George II is said to have done when he first heard the Hallelujah Chorus.”

“And so it is with Jackson; when I watch Legolas scrambling up the mumak, my mind turns not to Tolkien (who wrote no such scene, anyway) but to Douglas Fairbanks, scaling the side of a ship, in “The Black Pirate,” with monkeyish ease and delight. Peter Jackson has not really made a movie of “The Lord of the Rings”; he has sprung clear of it to forge something new. He has drawn a deep breath, and taken the plunge.”

Written by Anthony Lane, in The Current Cinema section.

Very cool. Check out the article, the whole thing is great.

Washington (1)

Clinton (42)
...
Grand
Adams (2)
Jefferson (3)
Madison (4)
Monroe (5)
Jackson (7)
Harrison (9)

So why was the 6th president not included?
Ans: Can't double up on Adams (John Quincy Adams)

Why was the 8th president not included?
Ans: No clue. It should be Van Buren. Is it because that's a shitty name for a street (also for a president)? Or is it because he wasn't born in the US? Which seems even more stupid. Let's celebrate our non-US-born presidents!

Why was Clinton included?
Ans: Obviously if you don't know, you're an idiot.

Google Search: "22 greatest voices" tool

Google Search: "22 greatest voices" tool

I have no idea who was looking for this, but I'm glad they found something. Assuming that "tool" is not in reference to an application that will help you with finding out more about the "22 Greatest Voices," I wonder who they wanted to be a tool.

On a separate note, when I misspell something or forget to stay in MLA format, I usually erase everything I've written up to that point and start over again (unless it's a final read through).

I've been wondering if it's faster to delete the few words afterwards or use my mouse to change the one word. I'd guess that I most often fix a word two to three words back, as my eyes read what I'm typing a little behind what the fingers are doing. Plus, it always feels a bit unnatural to delete that much w/ the pinky finger.

Anyways, stuff I've been wondering about.

How to get crazy Christmas gifts

Katie mentioned that she had finished a journal recently and needed a new one.

Then wrote here, "I hope everyone gets everything that they asked for and more."

Katie got more.

I got her one from Kate Spade, and then received an engineering journal from Jack Spade. Very funny.

If the roommate, or anyone, is reading this: we got two more martini glasses. Zoiks! We're going to have to start weeding the old ones out - we're so decadent. If anyone needs some martini glasses, be sure to ask. Though you can't have the new ones or the ones from Duffman.

But to go with the glasses, I got some Ston vodka. Yum.

But in any case, I hope everyone gets everything they asked for and nothing more.

Google Search: tesseradecades

Search for "tesseradecades," which as conviently pointed out previously here at the UberPlexer is one of the longest words able to be typed with only the fingers of the left hand, on Google and the UberPlexer is Number 1. Oh yeah!

But really, the funniest thing to me is that "tesseradecades" refers to groups of fourteen. And the word is fourteen letters long. This is the definition according to Webster2, whatever the hell that is.

Group#, Name
1, Not really a group, now is it?
2, Pairs
3, Trios
4, Quads or Quartets
5, Quintets
6, Hextets (?)
7, Heptets (?)
8, Octets
...
14, Tesseradecades

OK, well I don't know all of them, and I'm stretching it a bit. In the singular form, "quad" works and "tesseradecade" doesn't.

But it's still fun writing tesseradecades over and over again.

Way, way down in the Scalzi comments

WHATEVER: X Prime:

[Bolding is from BA.]

"Moving on to the other part of Sen. Santorum's comment. This is from the NY Times 'If the Supreme Court endorses a right to consensual gay sex within the home, he said, 'then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything."

Much as I dislike his idea, there's a certain legal/logical consistency. Here's what I think he's saying (please note: I disagree with what I think he's saying, I'm merely acting as translator).

Any ruling which forbids a state from prohibiting private consensual gay sex also forbids a state to prohibit bigamy, polygamy, incest, and adultery. It's not that these acts are equivalent, but that the limit on government's power to regulate sexual behavior would make states unable to prohibit those things.

So now I can rebut what I think he said (hey, this is easy!). He misunderstands bigamy/polygamy laws. Those limit a person to one marriage contract (at a time), they have nothing to do with regulating the number of sex partners. A ruling against the gay sex law might prevent states from regulating the number of partners, but I think it's already clear that states don't have that power.

Incest has a victim, a person who is below the age of consent. A ruling against the gay sex law wouldn't affect a state's ability to protect victims.

How did adultery get into this? Are there state laws that prohibit it? Again, no effect from a gay sex law ruling, since states already don't have the ability to enforce marital fidelity (in many states, spouses have that ability by way of divorce court)."

Posted by: DPWally at April 23, 2003 05:43 PM

A nice rebuttal to the slippery slope argument against consensual gay sex in the home. Though the incest part doesn't necessarily make sense.

I think I linked to this the other day, but if not: Santorum! Come on Google, find these pages. Please.

Dutchess County, NY, is the 19th safest metropolitan area. Which begs the question, what exactly is metropolitan about upstate New York?

Mr. Picassohead

I think the dude in the upper right is the hunchback of Notre Dame. If you do one, let me know and I'll put a link to yours as well.

Money

Just listened in on a 90-minute conference call on growth potentials in the environmental consulting field.

My favorite part was when describing the project sales for one section the moderator said that "it's projected in the single-digit billions."

Made me realize that there's a lot of money here.

Figuring Out The Movies

Warning: This is offensive.

Moving on, Glossary of Perversion A.

If you've seen Bad Santa, the term "Angry Santa" makes a lot of sense.

And credit where it's due: it was Katie's twisted mind that figured out the Bad Santa reference.

Not only b/c Bono is there, but because it's World Aids Day and that's very important.

Thanks for the link, Katie.

Otis-pooper

Here's a picture of little old Otis, dressed for the holiday.



Look at that tongue. It's just made for licking plates, bowls and the floor. He ain't always that smart of a dog. He'll just sit there and lick the floor every once in a while.

Cleveland Sucks

So the more I read it, the Cleveland sucks-based pictures are pretty damn funny.

Off-topic: the cafe con leche wasn't as good as usual. Too much leche.

Corn on the cob

So I'm still upset about the corn on the cob thing.

Basically towards the end, you come up with a lot of corn that you had passed up in the beginning.

Maybe this "best soup deal" isn't so true. Give me mush that I can just suck down - no work involved.

More on La Isla

So I'm chowing down on my large, $3.50 sopa de polla from La Isla - best soup deal in town and have one question:

The corn is still on the cob, can I eat it? I tried one, but it was sort of tough. Now I'm not sure if I should have eaten it.

The other day at a fancy dinner, I ate an hibiscus. Which didn't really taste all that bad. A little tart, but pleasantly so.

Searching for "eat corn cob" on google doesn't really give me any good information. However, there is a snippet from a yahoo group, called Ratworld that says, "I've been told that rats can try to eat corn cob and end..." I'm not a member of Ratworld, so I can't find out what the end is.

...end up dead.
...end up with good teeth.
...end up addicted.
...end their lives.

What is it?

Still waiting to savor the cafe con leche. Just as soon as all these corn cobs are done.

Cafe con leche

Welcome to La Isla Restaurant

I'm sitting here, waiting, salivating for a cafe con leche from La Isla. Just the right amount of sugar, kind of frothy on top. Not too burnt, but a hint of the bean. Oh my.

Please, let's hurry up delivery guy.

(That's a disturbing link, but the only google hit for "hurry up delivery guy.")

Monthly Website Hits

eXTReMe Tracking

Look at the last 20 months. Matched my monthly high of 171. Crazy that I just met it.

I had a teacher in high school that used to always say, "I went to Pawling High, and left that way."
