Ha ha, awesome.

*Fifteen people are trapped aboard a ship that's going to sink in exactly 20 minutes. Their only chance for survival is the five-person life raft stowed on their vessel. To make matters worse, the waters around the ship are teeming with man-eating sharks, so swiming to safety is out of the question.
A round-trip to the nearest island and back to the boat takes nine minutes on the raft. How many people will live to see dry land...
please answer that
Kit:
I wonder if Frank made it.
jm:
wow its amazing they should exicute order 66 with a lot of clones XD
Phil:
Awesome find. Its always interesting to find older pictures of the way something will work in the future, and then compare it to what actually ended up being the case.

Wow, that wasn't a question I ever expected my mom to ask. Must be a completely, totally different Katya.
Still a great interview. I usually don't give Beefeater much of a chance, but 24 actually sounds nonboring.
twitter.com/robmarais:
What a delightful read on what goes into my next favorite gin. Classic Beefeater has been my mixing gin for eons. I'm intrigued by 24, all the more so by learning of Payne's care and craft in creating it.
sushiesque:
Not that I noticed. But I was getting over a hideous cold and not particularly interested in the beverages.
quinciana:
Katya's Mom just wants to know whether this is the blogger who would know whether gin was served at Fuzzy's wedding in Maine.
Bryana Dunn:
Every doodad is a doohickey. Half of all thingamajigs are doohickeys. Half of all doohickeys are doodads. There are 30 thingamajigs and 20 doodads. No thingamajig is a doodad. How many doohickeys are neither doodads nor thingamajigs?
infinityisalie:
Even as an insufferable teetotaler, I found this a wonderful read.

Beefeater:
Hanky Panky is an amazing cocktail. One of my personal favourites. My recipe of choice looks something like this.
2 PARTS Beefeater London Dry Gin
2 PARTS Italian vermouth
2 DASH Fernet Branca
SHAKE All ingredients over ice
STRAIN Into a chilled cocktail glass
SQUEEZE A freshly cut orange peel on top
Awesome Video Tutorial on the cocktail: www.beefeatergin.com/mixology/video.php?video =Hanky%20Panky

You should know that this blog is one of the first sites to come up in a search for the terms, "harvard square" and "crazy people" (I was seeking a couple specific crazies). While I may not have found what I was looking for, I am digging your blog.

Pippa:
A couple are driving home in the dark when the car breaks down, the husband decided to walk to a petrol station for help that was a few miles back, so he locked all the doors,windows and boot. On his return there was a stranger in the car and his wife was dead,there was no damage to the car at all.what happened?????
James Price:
Yeah I found this out the hard way. The people who work at the Library of Congress were none too nice about setting me straight. Most of the people that work there do not want to be bothered, I think. The people that registered me and got me my car (of which there were three) were super nice. But everyone else is either mean or indifferent. I shouldn't have even gotten the reader ID (which you supposedly need to even read anything at the LOC) because I've yet to be stopped and asked for it, even at the "researcher only" entrance! Weak.

Dear sushiesque - is there any way I can contact you offsite to ask for permission to use one of your photographs?
You can reach me at mirlac@yahoo.com
Thanks so much, and it's a terrific blog.

A man and woman go before a preacher in Pennsylvania to be married, but the preacher says,"I can't marry you two." Why?

perhaps we could meet up there for a (possibly very cold) picnic?
1. no; I was with my parents, and they had their own agenda.
2. I couldn't find it, but I didn't look too hard. I do hope it has not been felled.
bonus: there was an unusual quantity of big green snails clinging to little rocks in freakish clumps.
Gabriel Mckee:
Awww, jealous-- I love Harkness. I rather want to go back there sometime soon. Two questions:
1. Did you go to Sarge's? I rather want to go back there, too. (It's where I bought my first Ace Doubles!)
2. Did you see the tree with the boob?
I'm so with you on this. Velour tracksuits are especially abominable. And what's with the thongs with the little tie things that are made to show over the low-rise pants? I have no problem with thongs or low-rise pants, but that combo is so unattractive.
Posted by: smich | 08 September 2003 at 01:06 PM
my personal favorite is the tight, white, translucent low-rise pants with the brightly-colored, clearly visible thongs underneath.
Posted by: sushiesque | 08 September 2003 at 01:10 PM
Try to find something for a 12 year girl for backtoschool clothes that doesn't fall into that tackiness and is still cool - it's hellish - and no, I won't let her wear thongs, or have a velour anything, because velour attracts lint and pet hair...and women who need to have writing on their ass to attract attention simply are 1) trashy 2) tacky 3) unattractive..IMHO
Posted by: Courtney | 08 September 2003 at 01:27 PM
I went shopping with a very tiny 16 yo once. She would only wear things (she kept them under her pants, which i was thankful for) and she had to buy them at abercrombie since they make kids sized things. And by kids i mean *kids* not 12 yo, more like 7yo. i knew that they did, but actually seeing them freaked me out more than i expected.

You're just rehashing what what I've been complaining about.
My new peeve is people who breathe. They really piss me off.
Posted by: caseyjames | 08 September 2003 at 03:43 PM
I still say that having the word "juicy" on your ass, even if it *is* a brand name, is totally inappropriate. Also, kid-sized thongs? Erg. Women should wear body-length dresses and men should wear suits and fedoras at all times.
Posted by: summer | 08 September 2003 at 04:42 PM
Summer, I agree on the dresses and suits and fedoras.
Men should dress like Sinatra; women like Ava Gardner.
Posted by: caseyjames | 08 September 2003 at 04:56 PM
All of you are correct, especially re: suits and fedoras.
Laura wants a Juicy tracksuit but I love her regardless.
Women ought to dress like Ava Gardner, except for Summer, who should always dress like Blixa Bargeld.

dearest caseyjames --
yes, the thongs-visible-through-pants made your blog first -- http://www.livejournal.com/users/caseyjames/519.html -- and I owe you a coke. but *you* don't have these people's asses literally in your face every time you ride the T.

Christine-
Don't ever call my livejournal a blog. I'll let it slide this time, but next time I will destroy you.
Posted by: caseyjames | 08 September 2003 at 06:30 PM
you can't destroy me from 90 miles away.
Posted by: sushiesque | 08 September 2003 at 06:57 PM
Everything on LiveJournal is a blog.
Posted by: Quelqu'un avec un > | 08 September 2003 at 07:03 PM
I will destroy you all.
Posted by: caseyjames | 08 September 2003 at 07:32 PM
I demand that you do your destroying in person.

That's because word got out that Christine puts out.

This weekend I saw a 12-year-old girl wearing a black torn wifebeater with some safety pins that said 'Punk Couture'. She wore the aforementioned Juicy sweatpants. I am pretty sure my childhood is officially over.

May I suggest an antidote to the everyday thong? http://www.cafeshops.com/spamletters.5993530

Yis.

Nothing turns my stomache more than seeing those 12 year old girls wearing those stupid pants/shorts with "angel" or "daddy's girl" or whatever. Parents are worried about their kids being seduced by pedophiles or having creeps swipe them from the school yards...THOSE outfits are NOT helping...nothing like making your 12 year old (or younger) look like a trampy teenager to attract more sickos.
On the other subtopic that came up in the comments - I think all men should dress in 1950s styles (think "LA Confidential", "Mulhollen Falls" etc. - for the fashion unaware). I LOVE that era - the women were TRULY beatiful then, too.
Posted by: Greg | 12 April 2004 at 06:13 PM
Thongs rule though, besides nothing wrong with the young wearing them.
Traditional loin cloths worn by everyone wear thongs

i was at walmart and i saw this ladie bent over her chart and her thong was showing and the when she moved her arms it was show.
