I got the "diSorrano" with the cool bottle.


I'm generally flexible, but not when it comes to Amaretto. Badness, much badness...

If she thinks that is enough to induce me to dispense with common sense and fly up to Idaho and attend her big Halloween party then she underestimates me. Do I look that stupid?


I paid $220 for the tickets. I am flying out of Ontario at o-dark 30.


Oh yeah. Yossarian scorched his new paint job.

And heed that advice - no 'L' words. Practice speaking like ScoobyDoo on the flight up there - he can't say 'L' at all.

Status: offline 		Aboard the I-125, Capt. Ito is a feared taskmaster who demands perfection. He is rumored to have once been so angry at a failed business dealt that he torpedoed a wooden jetty with one of the emperor's valuable torpedoes. Twenty year veterans of the Imperial Japanese Navy sought refuge from his silhouette in the gangway. As he approached the small thatch hut; however, he seemed a different man. Captain Ito had a tender side.

He rapped quietly on a wooden door frame. The face of a young Polynesian woman appeared. Awkwardly, Ito offered 3 tins of salted sea urchin roe and a necklace made of fig blossoms. The young woman smiled. Ito blushed, then he stammered, "I...ruv you"

Thats not doing enough. Can you exchange the ticket for one to Africa? You can stay with T until this blows over.

It is not the perfection of Boise womanhood I question, sir, it is the safety of partaking in it.

Me thinks he thinks with brain number 2.


The Stegasaurus (or was it he Allosaurus) is alleged to have had an accessory brain at its caudal end, as well. It took an asteroid half the size of the Gulf of Mexico to get rid of him. One must not discount irrational sources of wisdom.1

Here is the itinerary. Upon arrival, I am to be picked up in a BMW convertible (even though it is 30 F in Boise ). I will be wearing a fake nose and moustache when I exit the plane. I will then be wisked away to a secret location, where, presumably, the two bags of goodies from the Pleasure Boutique will be put to good use. The next day, after recovery is achieved, I will attend the soiree, the entrance to said event will be controlled by "two big guys". I am not quite clear what will happen after that. I hope the planning for the Viking funeral goes well.

*"Soiree" has two "e"'s

Also, I meant "caudal" not "rostral", oops

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stegosaurus

quote:

"Second brain"

Soon after describing Stegosaurus, Marsh noted a large canal in the hip region of the spinal cord, which could have accommodated a structure up to 20 times larger than the brain. This has led to the famous idea that dinosaurs like Stegosaurus had a 'second brain' in the tail, which may have been responsible for controlling reflexes in the rear portion of the body. It has also been suggested that this "brain" might have given a Stegosaurus a temporary boost when it was under threat from predators.[5] More recently, it has been argued that this space (also found in sauropods) may have been the location of a glycogen body, a structure in living birds whose function is not definitely known but which is postulated to facilitate the supply of glycogen to the animal's nervous system.[21]
