I wonder if Frank made it.

wow its amazing they should exicute order 66 with a lot of clones XD

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.
semele:
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 wish you were around all the time so you could document my meals. Well, that and cuz you're awesome.

DJ, is answer to your question: "In America, government swallows you!"
Posted by: Yakov Smirnov | 18 January 2006 at 10:40 PM
Frankie, the riddle you are talking about is the human heart, which has ten valves. Only one of these valves, the "mortiniantion," is open at any time. So we see that the answer to this riddle also solves the very touching "riddle of the mortion and the mortiniantion," which Emily posted earlier: No matter where you travel, be it to Trajiccaraccidente or a baseball game, you are always closer to your own heart than you ever believed.

For serious, no one who reads this website actually answers riddles and no one knows the answer to that door riddle. Is it for class, or some sort of radio station giveaway?

You can't even see *anything* on the radio. This is the stupidest riddle I've ever read.
Posted by: unsinn | 23 January 2006 at 02:04 PM
Confused, the answer is "poughkeepsie." A Epiekoughes is a Greek missile launcher from the Second World War, and the city in question is Phosguie Peek, NE. A "poughkeepsie" is a kind of wide-brimmed hat popular amongst Danish ladies of the late Victorian period.

Posted by: Ryan | 21 February 2006 at 03:33 PM
I need help with this riddle.
WHAT AM I?
Contained without body,
No voice, nor harmony.
Existing without soul.
No life, nor whole.
Powerless to be free,
I’m anything but me,
Dark against the light,
I am incapable to fight.
Sentry only to the one,
Who stands against the power of the sun.
Into the darkness I am consumed,
No courage, no fear, for I am doomed.
Till life of spark and fire,
Will kin of mine does sire.
There’s no love, nor hate,
I have no home to make.
The fate of my existence is true,
For eternity, I can only follow you.
Still no blood, nor life…
I feel nothing of strife…
Posted by: Mia | 22 February 2006 at 02:02 PM
Kareen, the answer to your question is "the products of human labor before the Enclosure Act and the rise of the factory system." People have been alienated from the things they produce as their own efforts are increasingly limited to the production of one tiny part of a larger product.
Many people believe that this alienation began with factory work itself, but this is not so. Industrial entrepreneurs and landlords advocated for the Enclosure Act, which divided up the public grazing commons so that non-landowners no longer had a place to graze their sheep or cattle. They were forced to be at the mercy of the landlords, paying rent to run their cottage weaving shops. This left a prime opportunity for the inventors of machinery to weave cloth to drive prices down, putting cottage shops out of business. The cottage shops were put out of business.
Those who worked in the cottage shops now had to work for the weaving factories. Many people don't realize this, but this is why we have a standard "workday" today. Instead of taking "Saint Monday" off, beginning work whenever they pleased, and producing only what they needed, workers were now driven by factory efficiency measures which demanded they show up on time, attend work each day of the week (until unions fought for the weekend), and produce as much as the bosses wanted.
Other efficiency measures are more familiar to us: for example, the assembly line. This broke down the task of assembling a product into many pieces. For example, one person might card the wool, another wash it, another place it into a machine to be spun into yarn, and another take the yarn and feed it into a machine which would weave it into cloth. Where once a single person had done all of these tasks, now many people did. And the final product was not for the worker to sell -- this was the job of yet another person working for the boss. Marx (not Groucho) calls this the process of alienation from the products of labor.
Whoever has posed you this riddle is making a gentle attempt to pull you out of the false consciousness of our capitalist society. Thank them the next time you see them!

I know the answer to this riddle-but do you?
A horse has a four foot rope tied around his neck in front of a old saloon. A bail of hay is 6 feet infront of the horse. How does the horse get the hay?
I'll be checking back soon-Good Luck.
