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.
sarah:
this is gay
1minutefilmreview:
Wow!

Oh, you're quite right. I did not read the fine, italic print.

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.

Still attracting the crazies, huh? It's nice to know some things never change.

A man and woman go before a preacher in Pennsylvania to be married, but the preacher says,"I can't marry you two." Why?
sushiesque:
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?
Oddly, I meant to type "not," not "know," in that second email.

Posted by: kelly | 22 November 2006 at 03:47 PM
Dear Kelly,
What you really need a definition of is the word "poser." "Poser" means "someone who poses," or someone who is inauthentic. Do you know what "authentic" means? It means "real." So "in-authentic" means "not real."
Your stepsister (who I would note is not your REAL sister!) falls into the trap of many anthropologists throughout the 20th century up until recent years. These scholars would go to Bali looking for the "real" Balinese people and "real" Balinese customs, waste entire academic careers looking for "real" Native American life on the reservation and find nothing but "corrupt" or "co-opted" culture which had been tainted with modern Western customs and artifacts.
Fortunately for you, the tides of anthropology have turned. Anthropologists are recognizing that whatever people are doing and saying now -- that is their real culture. Just because goths, punks, and emo kids now look to earlier inspirations for their fashion, music, and customs doesn't mean they're not real. They're still doing it! It's still their culture! Even if they are buying their safety-pin-addled pantaloons from Hot Topic and writing anarchy signs on their Lisa Frank binders, they are still making meaning with each other, and that's culture. The question is, what is the meaning?
Now, some youths in your area may have constructed a different kind of "goth" or "emo" culture than the one you and your sister are living. She may be using that culture as a reference point to bring you down. Or she may be making a reference to "mass culture" (such as it is today) to make you feel like an outcast. Sadly, outcasts are a part of any culture. But it is up to you and your stepsister to make the road by walking: so long as you are being Emo, or being Punk, why not find some rules to agree on and do it your own way? You don't really need to refer to anyone else. The world at large is a cold and indifferent place and doesn't really care if you're an emo for three years of high school anyway.
It's your culture! Make it up yourself! Remember, there are those of us out there who will love you no matter which subset of youth culture you subscribe to, as long as you're nice to other people. Come looking for us once you've graduated from high school.
Warm Regards,
Docutoro Culuturu.
(sorry, Christine, this is probably not what you were expecting, and I imagine you hate the heck out of me for it :D)

(don't apologize. that was actually pretty awesome.)

I think the good docturo means: Poseur.
But I do think it's really quite an interesting point he brings up in comparing subcultures to known ones based on race or geographical region ...he's very right, such anomalies of tribalism (i.e. punk, emo, goth, S&M, those really cute rockabilly kids) cannot be merely disregarded as an immature plea for attention or a copious amount of angsty rebellion.
