"opiate of the masses."
Jeez.
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.
this is gay
Wow!
Oh, you're quite right. I did not read the fine, italic print.
Icarus does not give me great confidence in their products.
rick:
i'm pretty sure that the propellant is icarus.
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?????
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.
Still attracting the crazies, huh? It's nice to know some things never change.
Erin: I just wish I knew what I was up to.
Obo: Why are they on my doorstep?
obo:
They're fantasy sports league prizes.
Erin:
Clearly you are living a double life.
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.
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 wish you were around all the time so you could document my meals. Well, that and cuz you're awesome.
can you answer this?
You have a chicken, a fox, and a sack of cornfeed how do you get across with a boat that holds 2 things only t a time.
Well duh, the chickens are locked in there and then they fart all over each other and it gives them the special zest.
Heartbreaking.
Thanks! It was a good day.
Really nice sequence. Cool blog, too.
Alie:
what is the answer to this riddle:
most eyes are forced wide open by the dance
it's really confusing to me o.o
They call me a man but I'll never have a wife. I was given a body, but not a life.
They made me a mouth, but didnt give me breath. Water gives me life but the sun brings me death
What am I?
I cannot figure this riddle!
what can run but never walk what has a mouth but never talks what has a face but does not weep what has a bed but does not sleep
Mimi :
Here is the riddle. "When 1 door closes 9 open. When 9 close 1 opens. What is it?
mike:
there are 12 balls all look the same in all aspect, but one is different in weight. you are allowed to use a balance scale,not a weight measure. if you are allowed to use the scale one three times how do you find the different ball ?
can anyone help
Wow, gorgeous pics!
Lovely photos:)
That's sort of awesome. But now I am fascinated to know by what criteria they do decide what to keep.
As a youthful book-lover, it was my dream to visit the Library of Congress to read until my brain exploded.
I'm glad I've learned this many years later.

That's strange, one of the names we were kicking around for our new black-and-white bunny was Garamond, mostly because he has an exclamation point on his back. The sad part is that there were actual discussions of whether it was a true Garamond exclamation point.
But he wound up being Neo instead. Go fig.

And a goldfish named Gill Sans?
Posted by: slim | 23 January 2004 at 10:21 AM
Yeah, actually. :) That was in the post, orginally, but then I edited the heck out of it. There was also a hound named Baskerville, which I deemed just too obvious.

A sleek pony named Palatino? A dopey parakeet named Wingdings? A new pigeon named Courier? A classy orangutan named Bembo? - If Akzidenz Grotesk is your illegitimate child AND the parent of black-rabbit Helvetica, did you love a bunny _too much_?

I wondered if there would be a typeface appropriate for naming a hedgehog. And there is. At fontshop.com I discovered Thornface Extra Sharp. It can be viewed at: http://www.fontshop.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.fontdisplay&packagefontid=0&displayfontid=C.105662.0.3&view=single&searchID=0&searchby=keyword&searchletter=A&searchstr=sharp&totalrecords=3&startrow=1&records=20&currpage=1 If my hedgehog was still alive I would rename him. Nobody could ever pronounce Isipho anyway.

And a serial murderer named Manson!

I once named a frog for a boss of mine (the frog was a gift from me and several coworkers.) The frogs name was Frutiger.

I once named a cat Impact. Now he's Roadkill, God rest his Seoul. Now I want to get a vampire bat so I can name it Fang Song. We had a goldfish that got so big we could have named it Twelve Ton Sushi.

The assistant in our marketing/publications office gave us a beta fish. We named him Gill, Gill Sans.

Speaking of Bembo, has everyone seen Bembo's Zoo?

Did you know that Eric Gill did it with his daughters? True story.
