Because robots have movies made about them.

It's an old Mexican tradition.

The first Beale Cypher was a hoax concocted by Terry Jinn. It doesn't exist. Your bet is a push.

That's you from a previous life.

Yes, it is.

Again, yes but without the ellipses.

C. Scrutinizer = Terry Jinn.

True.

Are there possums? Do they "play"? Well, there's your answer.

Give it another six years and you'll be over it.

I believe an ice age will be thawed by a supervolcano. Just as the Earth begins to thrive and repopulate, the meteorite will strike and destroy everything. God, while hating women, has impeccable timing.

Ladies, correct in believe men to be stupid, don't realize that we aren't blind nor are we susceptible to hypnotic suggestion.

CBGB will soon go the way of the Hard Rock Cafe'. It'll be franchised within an inch of bankruptcy and then exist only in Vegas.

The rest of my life. My tenacity has finally undone me!

Dying for it! Dying!! Don't be cruel. Start the thread!!!

Negotiations are ongoing. Currently, Sirius can't meet my price.

James,

I have a lot of ideas for various types of projects in my head and have trouble focussing on just one. Do you have any tips?

What color is your parachute?

Which fishing rod, reel, and line weight should I use to catch fresh-water large mouthed bass?

Why was R.L. Burnside only discovered and produced later in his life?

Where is the best place for women over 35 to meet single men in NY? Was Cher right in saying we should try to date men 10 years younger?

Why don't we work on "labor" day?

He was the second cousin of an semi-incestuous relationship between H.R. Puffnstuff and Cookie Monster.

It's all that mad cow milk!

Remind yourself that a journey of 10,000 miles begins with one step. Failing that, write down each of the projects on a slip of paper, put them into a hat, pick one and start it. If THAT doesn't work, have a close friend attach electrodes to sensitive parts of your body and apply a shock every time your mind wanders.

Because, even in this so-called modern age rife with technology, our simple human brains (which have remained largely unchanged for tens of thousands of years) are easily dazzled by light reflecting through water droplets in the the sky.

Green...?

something made of carbon and steel with a high test line

He lived most of his life in the Mississippi hill country, which, unlike the Delta region, consists mainly of a lot of small farms. He learned his music from his neighbor, Fred McDowell, and the highly rhythmic style that Burnside plays is evident in McDowell's recording as well. Despite the otherworldly country-blues sounds put down by Burnside and his family band, known as the Sound Machine, his other influences are surprisingly contemporary: Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins. But Burnside's music is pure country Delta juke joint blues, heavily rhythm-oriented and played with a slide. Up until the mid-'80s, Burnside was primarily a farmer and fisherman. After getting some attention in the late '60s via folklorists David Evans and George Mitchell (Mitchell recorded him for the Arhoolie label), he recorded for the Vogue, Swingmaster and Highwater record labels. Although he had done short tours, it wasn't until the late '80s that he was invited to perform at several European blues festivals. In 1992, he was featured alongside his friend Junior Kimbrough (whose Holly Springs juke joint Burnside lives next to), in a documentary film, Deep Blues. His debut recording, Bad Luck City, was released that same year on Fat Possum Records.

Improv classes. Only for the sex. For a solid relationship, look for someone slightly older.

Because, like all holidays, it's a day to reflect back on the thing your celebrating.

Neither the public's taste or the music biz are meritocracies. I mean, c'mon! Who the hell knows who Joe Henderson is and he made fantastic music for 40+ years.

There is a Rembrandt self-portrait in the Gardner museum in Boston that I used to always go to see when I was a student. At about the same time, I was struck by a Van Gogh painting of a farmhouse at NYC's Metropolitan Museum. After a Kindergarten field trip to S.F.'s DeYoung museum I came home and told my mom that I enjoyed Klee very much (so precocious!). But, a "favorite"? Nah.

Fred Dean. Deion helped 'em to a (crucial) Super Bowl win, but Fred Dean was a valuable contributor in TWO Super Bowl wins.

James,

What's a ballpark estimate for the longest period of time that would continue to check this thread for questions and then answer them?

James,

I was wondering how long it would take this thread to go "meta." Weren't you? And, did it live up to your expectations?

Beaten to the punch,

Can you top the story that you told me seven years ago of the radio DJs putting actual hot peppers (split open, seeds exposed) into a listener's anus to win Red Hot Chili Peppers tickets in terms of an example of human idiocy and desperation in entertainment?

If not, how about a runner up to that story?
