""As you know, in addition to my other studies, I am an amateur necrolinguist--""It means he likes to lick the dead," explained Henri."It means he studies dead languages," corrected Lucien."Are you sure?""Yes," said the Professeur."My education is shit," said Henri, "Lying Priests.""pg 341
"That first class he saw form, line, light, shadow just long enough to get a bit of the drawing down, but then he'd be yanked ot of his work by nipples! No, not by the nipples, but by general nipples - of concept - the model's nipples, and his concentraion would collapse in a cascade of images and urges that had nothing whatever to do with art. For the first week, as the poor girl posed, Lucien battled the urge to stand up and yell, "For the love of God, she's naked over there, aren't any of you thinking about bonking her?" Of course they were, they were men, and except for the gay ones, they were only getting any art done at all if they managed to put that feeling to bed."pg 96
""I'll have you know that if you hurt my son again, if he so much as sighs sadly over his coffee, I will hire a man, a Russian, probably, to hunt you down and rip all that shiny black hair from your head, then break your skinny arms and legs, and set you on fire, and then put you out with a hammer. And should there be children from your beastly rutting, I shall have the Russian man cut them into tiny pieces and feed them to Madame Jacob's dog. Because, although he many be only a worthless, simpleminded, libertine artist, Lucien is my favorite, and I will not have him hurt. Do you understand?" Juliette just nodded. "Good day, then," said Madame Lessard. "Go with God." And she glided across the bakery and up the stairs. "I'm her favorite," said Lucien with a big smile."pg 54
"Of course war had come to the butte before. In the first century BC the Romans had built a temple to Mars, the god of war, on the mount, and from that point forward, you couldn't catapult a cow at Paris without someone setting up for siege on Montmartre. With her seven freshwater wells, her windmills, her vegetable gardens, and her commanding view of the entire city, everyone agreed that there was no better butte on which to be besieged."pg 76
"He preferred not to think of his mother as having hips. He preferred to not think of her as a woman at all, more as a traveling mass of loving annoyance - a mother-shaped storm that inhabited the bakery and, in bringing rain for the growth of the living things over which she hovered, didn't mind scaring the piss out of them with a few thunderbolts from time to time."
"Papa, what is raping?"....."Lucien, you have heard the term 'making love'?""Yes, Papa, like when you and Maman are kissing and tickling and laughing. Regine said that is what you were doing."Pere Lessard swallowed hard. It was a small apartment, but he always thought the children were alseep when--That spiteful woman and her giggling. "Yes, that is right. Well, rape is the opposite. It is making hate."Père Lessard

By John Isaac Jones | Friday, September 21st, 2007 at 10:06 am
After the Democrats failed to muster enough support for an anti-war bill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid emphasized that the War belonged to the Republicans and that they have to go on record again as siding with President Bush in the matter.
I'm afraid this brings up the question of just whose side Harry Reid is on.
From all indications, he's pulling for Osama Bin Laden and all of the other religious lunatics who want to destroy western civilization.
His hatred of George Bush and the Republican party is stronger than his hatred of Bin Laden et al. The glory of the Democratic party means more to him than the safety of the American people and preservation of all the things we hold dear.
What do you call a person like Harry Reid?
Misguided? Politically fashionable? Stupid? Traitor?
That last moniker seems the most appropriate to me.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander!!
Southern journalist and author John Isaac Jones has his own weblog Globalnook. His most recently published book is a collection of fictional southern vignettes called Alabama Stories.

text: Television shows like "Quincy" and "CSI" have glamorized the world of forensic science, but they give only the merest glimpse into the fascinating world of toxicology. For the past four decades, St. John's University has given students the whole picture. This year, St. John's is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its acclaimed Toxicology Program with a wide range of lectures, presentations and other exciting events. The events are drawing scores of industry experts and prominent alumni back to the Queens campus. When the Toxicology Program at St. John's began 40 years ago, it was the first of its kind in the nation. Dr. Vincent De Paul Lynch prepared and submitted the visionary grant proposal that resulted in government support to establish the program. Today, it is one of only 12 university toxicology programs in the Northeast. A division of St. John's top-ranked College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, the program benefits from the College's considerable resources, expert faculty and state-of-the-art equipment.A Focus on Safety Toxicology is the science that explores the harmful effects chemicals may have on our world and our bodies. "The Madison Avenue definition is that (toxicology) is the study of poisons," said Sue Ford, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Director of the Toxicology Program. However, she added that the role of a toxicologist is far more expansive than that. "They deal with air pollution, water pollution, medication, household products," she noted. "A lot of attention is paid to determine how safe a product is, and toxicologists do that in many different ways." Safety took center stage at a major Water Quality Conference held at the Queens campus on February 16. The conference attracted several experts in the field who came to discuss issues such as groundwater contamination, the effects of toxic chemicals on marine life and removing contaminants from our drinking water. Over 70 students and alumni attended the conference, headlined by St. John's alumna Ann T. Lemley, Ph.D., of Cornell University. Dr. Lemley, a graduate of The School of Education at St. John's, is a Professor in the College of Human Ecology at Cornell and Chair of their Department of Fiber Science and Apparel Design. Her discussion focused on the remediation of contaminants in the environment, particularly water and soil, in order to assess and decrease risks through removal or treatment. Louis Trombetta, Ph.D., Professor and Chair of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, presented on the problem of aquifer depletion and its effect on communities in upstate New York. One of the more startling details to come out of the conference is that New York State has no comprehensive water management plan. Dr. Ford said one of her mandates is to inspire her students to get involved with these issues, and realize they can make a difference.A World of Opportunities When the program was inaugurated 40 years ago, its initial focus was on forensic and clinical toxicology, Dr. Ford noted. "A number of pharmacy schools had some toxicology courses, but we were the first University in the nation to have an undergraduate toxicology program." Opportunities for toxicologists are numerous. Many of St. John's graduates work in labs determining how chemicals cause toxicity and others work in analytical labs doing drug testing or environmental analysis from soil and water samples. They often are involved in risk analysis and assessment, collecting all the data generated by labs in an effort to determine how safe a situation is, and what controls need to be present to ensure public safety. Dr. Ford said the role of a toxicologist often is to separate fact from fiction in determining the causal link, if any, between certain chemicals and illnesses that may or may not result from exposure to them. In the past, toxicologists have helped prove links between cigarette smoke and lung cancer, and the poisoning resulting from toxic mold in homes, asbestos in the workplace and mercury in fish, among others. The program stresses an interdisciplinary approach that gives students a broad knowledge of biology, chemistry and physics. She added, "This is a great pre-med major. All the required pre-med courses are part of the curriculum." By their sophomore year, students are introduced to the role toxicology plays in society. "If you're not aware of it, it's easy to miss," Dr. Ford observed, "but once you are, you see it everywhere."

This picture postcard postmarked 1946 is the Methodist Children's Home in my hometown, Mt. Vernon, IL. I remember as a young girl while in grades three and four having a friend from the orphanage; I couldn't really grasp why she lived there, why she couldn't come to my house for sleepovers, etc. Looking back as an adult I see this picture and realize how lucky I was to have two parents and a real home.
The orphanage was relocated to this building in 1921 from Creal Springs.

Saw cuts great so far and it has all the features you'd find on a much higher priced tool. Went from out of the box to cutting lumber in about 30 minutes. Only minor assembly and zero/square adjustments required. Tech manual seemed to have an error; it inverted the pic/description of the 33.9/45 degree bevel adjustment screws in the saw alignment instructions, it's easy enough to figure out though. Laser is spot on and works great. Saw is compact enough to lug from site to site or stick in a home workshop. Overall great value.

can't beat this saw for the price!! everyone who mad about the plastic stops are foolish. its a sliding compound miter saw! it cuts amazing it took 20 minutes to square. it beats my old saws. the saw should be 350-400 dollar saw easy. I got it during the black Friday week.

I got this saw in August and put right to work. I replaced all my 1x4 fir decking boards on my 13'x14' upper deck. The boards were on the diagnol and not at an exact 45 degree. This saw with laser made it easy. I was able to see the laser even in direct sun light. the extensions on the side of the table gave a study platform to cut. I also used the saw to cut 4x6 landscape timbers as well. Buy this saw if you are a home improvement guy like me.

This is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. In comparison to other popular power tool companies, this mitre saw has the best bang for your buck by far. Great quality, lots of power, and all the bells and whistles. Would recommend for any DIYer.

When I was assembling the saw, I tried to tighten the **** that sets the angle. The bracket holding the entire assembly immediately snapped. It's going to be returned ASAP.

Got on sale for $189.99. Replaced a cast iron non-sliding 10" Craftsman compound saw (23460) I've had since 1994. Still works great, but wanted to be able to cut wider material so I started looking at sliders and ended up getting this saw. Extension tables are kind of cheesy (my old saw did not even have them, so they are definitely better than nothing) and the plastic positive stop lever concerns me a bit. Otherwise everything else about the saw is good enough for my light duty non-professional needs around my house. Slider moves precisely and setting up saw to cut square took around 15 minutes ... it was "pretty close" out of the box. I agree with everyone else that the dust bag does not do much "collecting". I'd guess it collects about "half" the saw dust that the old saw did. Removed some minor flashing from the port as others recommended but also went one step further. I added a 1.5" black PVC street elbow that I lined the FM end with 1/4x3/4" adhesive backed foam tape so it fits over the exhaust port snuggly. Then took a black PVC 1.5" FM to 1.5" male NPT adapter and turned the threaded end down on a lathe so the bag would slip over it. With elbow pointed sideways bag is now always "horizontal" rather than vertical and seems to be collecting more saw dust. I've yet to try it with a vac. Also bought a Craftsman 16490 Deluxe Miter Saw Stand for this saw and it fits it very well. It also fit on the 2004 vintage Ridgid MSUV that my old saw was on but fits this new Craftsman stand better.

I have the utmost respect for the Craftsman name, but my experience with this saw was not good. The blade was so far off that it tore into the red plastic on the base, not alot, but it should not have done this. The laser was not nearly inline with the blade and the fence was so far off line it was ridiculous. The preset miter notches are too wide and offer too much wiggle room too. Fortunately Sears took it back without question.

The saw works very well smooth slide cuts 2 by 12 very easy.The only problems that I came to notice was that the dust bag was pointing straight down back into blade which made it usless

Natural setting perfect for a walk in the forest or picnic on the lawn with birds serenading. Lawn chairs or blanket provided. Pickup the fixings at a supermarket and bring your own cooler. Nice alternative to going out for dinner.

We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed a surreal location with fantastic services, beautifully furnished suite and well groomed grounds. Would have loved to stay a lot longer. Great access to Clearbrook and yet very private setting. Very friendly and flexible management catered to our needs. This is one place I have already recommended to several friends as we were so impressed with the whole experience and are confident that even the most discriminating guests will enjoy a wonderful time. Perfect for a getaway that feels like you are "Far from the Maddening Crowd ! ".

This is the best bed and breakfast I've ever stayed at. I travel to Abbotsford twice each year for a non-profit board meeting and stay at Sweet Dreams because it is closer to the office than conventional hotels. My stays at Sweet Dreams have become one of the highlights of my trips to Abbotsford. The owners are so welcoming and hospitable, and have such great attention to detail. They take notice of the little things and keep the inn and grounds impeccably beautiful. The food is to die for. Each morning they serve a gourmet breakfast that is absolutely delicious. I'll continue to stay at Sweet Dreams for my business trips to Abbotsford and plan on returning just so that my wife can enjoy the inn as I'm always bragging about it to her.

Our visit to Sweet Dreams was exceptional! The room was spacious and lovely! It is a beautiful setting that makes you feel so relaxed. In particular, we really enjoyed the jet bathtub and the bed was super comfy. Our only regret was that we didn't check in earlier to enjoy the games room and the beautiful grounds. That said, we had a great time and even got engaged that night too! We will definately come back again! Thank you!

We stayed at Sweet Dreams for the two nights immediately following our wedding, and we would highly recommend it. The best part was that it was a quiet weekend and we didn't see a single other person—we had full use of the media room and we loved the peace and quiet. Somehow our room was magically cleaned when we went out for lunch! Also great amenities in the room. Thank you!

My wife and I stayed for one night to celebrate an anniversary. I also ordered the "Romance Package" which provided everything as described on their site. I splurged a bit to afford this B&B since we could only get away for one night - why not go for the best? It was a little expensive, but the gorgeous accommodations & amenities mostly justify the price.

The Sweet Dreams Luxury Inn in Abbotsford BC was an amazing place. Our Room (The Hill-Tout) was beautiful, decorated with rose petals, chocolate covered strawberries, sparkling juice on ice, and chocolates on our pillows. The ammenities were great; A Library, Games room, and Tv area. Front Parking, a private entrance to the Inn, and a huge Breakfast served right to your door every morning was extremely convenient. They were extremely accomodating to special dietary likes/dislikes and the food was great. We would definetly recommend the Sweet Dreams Luxury Inn to others, and hope to stay there again in the future.

My husband and I experience one night at Sweet Dreams Luxury Inn. We both enjoyed the drive through the forest entrance and than you are at Sweet Dreams Luxury Inn. It reminded us of our home town, Powell River, BC. The large king size bed was so comfortable, slept like a baby. The whole atmosphere of the Inn was so comfortable and quiet. The decor of the whole Inn was outstanding. My husband and I enjoyed the whole evening, we didn't want to go anywhere but relax and enjoy the beauty of our room. We had our breakfast delivered to our room and our food was very good. I would recommend this wonderful place to any of our friends and family. Abbotsford

We arrived late due to delays coming across the border, no problem. The room was better than described. Smelled great (not like a hotel), clean, well laid out, super quiet. Our GPS quite working at the border Richard and Dorothy (inn keepers) loaned us their personal unit. Breakfast was the best, never could finish all of it. Clean bathrobes that were actually comfortable. Very private setting with great access to keep the privacy while you stayed. They made up the room while we were gone, no maid trying to interrupt us while we were getting our day going. Stayed four nights, each one was perfect. Really did not know the other guests were there. The public locations such as the dining room and movie room were a great touch, along with the popcorn machine and espresso/coffee maker. We travel quite a bit for work, sometimes staying in four and five star hotels, this is much, much better.

My new husband and I recently spent our wedding night at Sweet Dreams luxury bed and breakfast in Abbotsford, B.C.. Since we had a really busy day, this place made it completely possible to help us wind down and relax. The hosts were friendly, and our suite - the Morley Room - was beautifully furnished. Using the soaker tub was a lot of fun, and we couldn't ask for a more comfy bed! All in all, Jason and I had a very good experience here, to kick off the start of our honeymoon.

Our family chose Sweet Dreams Luxury Inn to celebrate our parents' 60th wedding anniversary. We are a small family of ten (including the grandchildren), and it's difficult to find a private venue for a group that small. However, the grand foyer, living room and dining room which were ours for the evening, perfectly fit the mood we wanted. All we did was place flowers (the ones mother had in her bouquet), candles and favours on the dining table to make it look just like a wedding. Dorothy, Richard and their team provided a dinner that took our various dietary needs (including vegetarian & gluten free) into consideration and featured farm-fresh, local ingredients. Afterwards we lingered long into the evening in the upstairs activity room. We gifted our parents with an overnight stay, and the next day we all joined them for a hearty breakfast that included freshly-baked, gluten-free blueberry muffins. All in all, the attentive service and intimate elegance at Sweet Dreams Luxury Inn made our celebration festive, cozy and stress-free—one of the nicest our family has enjoyed.

I had such a fantastic experience at the Sweet Dreams B&B. I was amazed by the size and beauty of the house, and how immaculate the interior was. My room was very cozy and spacious, including a large soaker tub which I took full advantage of. The food was wonderful, and Dorothy and Richard were always on-hand to greet me with a smiling face. After feeling like I was away in paradise, I wouldn't hesitate twice about enjoying another great experience at this little getaway in Abbotsford's backyard.

Turn of the main road and up a forested driveway and you know you're in for a peaceful, relaxing time. A beautiful building awaits at the end of the driveway. We stayed a night in the Heywood Suite. A comfortable King-size bed, treats, and a fantastic bathroom and 6-head shower to pamper you. We didn't get a chance to enjoy the den or common-room but it looked to exceed any expectations we had. We came back after our evening out to find we had been treated with 'turn-down' service. Morning breakfast was tasty although bacon was a little over-done and punctual to OUR time. Conversation was great. A lot of little touches to make a grand experience. Will definitely visit again and highly recommend! Thanks.

We went and spent one night at Sweet Dreams Luxury Inn for our 5th anniversary. We were greeted at the door and shown around the gorgeous property. The room was much nicer than it looks in pictures (and it looks great in pictures). They even added a few extra's to make our stay more than we dreamed (like chocolate covered strawberries and breakfast delivered to our room). We would recommend staying at Sweet Dreams to everyone.

We had no idea what to expect as someone else had both recommended and handled our reservation. Upon arrival to the entrance of the property expectations immediately spiked as the signage and winding road through the forest created the perfect country retreat feel. Moments later we approached the Inn and were in awe of this beautiful home and Inn. Opening the door to great us were Richard and Dorothy and that sealed the deal—warm, friendly, inviting and even humorous are what we remember most. Our suite was outstanding, from the most comfortable bed ever, to the heated floors, the awesome jacuzzi and the tasteful decorations. Breakfasts were gourmet and the coffee was up to the most discriminating taste! My wife had a smile on her face for the whole time that we were there!

During our two days at the Sweet Dreams Luxury Inn I was very impressed. I was not aware that such a beautiful place was so close. When we returned to the Inn after dinner and saw the Christmas lights I felt like I was in a movie, or something, coming down a quaint driveway, and the greeted by a beautifully lit "castle"/ Inn. I would recommend this place, for sure!

We stayed at Sweet Dreams in the Hilltout Suite for our wedding night. We were only able to get away for 1 night and this was our treat to ourselves.

Although we were only able to enjoy the facilities for a very short time, we left rejuvinated and very thankful for the opportunity to stay there. The breakfast in the room was amazing and exceeded all of our expectations. We would highly recommend Sweet Dreams to anyone in need of a special retreat. We will be back.

Sweet Dreams is a beautiful retreat, easily accessible from the highway, yet a million miles from the world. The room was warm, inviting and immaculate, and the hospitality equally warm. Dorothy and Richard were delightful hosts, and they managed to make us feel like we were invited to share their home, yet in our own private space at the same time. We fell asleep and woke to the sound of wind in the trees (and some rain, which was refreshing). Breakfast was delicious. While the bed could have used a couple of extra sleeping pillows, I suspect they would have been readily provided if we had asked (it was late, and sleep took priority). Looking forward to being able to return for another stay! Would definitely recommend for couples looking for a quiet, elegant retreat!

We had the privilege of staying at the Sweet Dreams Luxury Inn once again. We were so thrilled with the opportunity to relax at one of the most beautiful and luxurious places. Our trip north actually had us going to an event in Vancouver, however we chose to drive out to Abbotsford to stay so that we could enjoy the hospitality and lavishness of Sweet Dreams. Thank you Richard and Dorothy for a great couple nights. Thank you also for accommodating my husbands oh so picky eating habits! :) Blessings.

We will be staying at Sweet Dreams again in the future and would highly recommend it to anybody...

In addition to all of the great reviews on Sweet Dreams we would like to comment that the beds are of the highest quality
2,8 sur novembre 17, 2009
Most disappointed. My boyfriend and I were so excited to stay at the Sweet Dreams Inn. We had had a really rough week with two deaths in the family and he was leaving for a month. Needless to say we needed a nice escape and don't get to stay at beautiufl places like the inn very often. We rented the Hilltout Suite and were blown away with the room... it was beautiful. But that is where our good experience ended. We felt almost "unwelcome" like they were surprised we could afford to stay in their B&B (even though everything is payed for ahead of time). Little details just didn't seem important: barely a welcome when we arrived, used tealights, fake rose petals? (which are part of a $50 romance package) and the worst part for me was no thank you or how was your stay or ANYTHING from the owners when we left. They even served us a rock hard cinnamon bun with our breakfast that was completely inedible. There is no way she couldn't have known that breakfast was not up to par. They only serve one meal a day you would think you would make it spectacular. Being in the service industry myself I know the importance of treating every guest the same. I've read so many good reviews about how they treat guests and 'go the extra mile'- why did we not get the same treatment. Needless to say we will never be returning no matter how beautiful the home is and we will not encourage any of our family/friends to stay either. We would never want them to get the same treatment.
Réponse du propriétaire
We sincerely thank you for your comments. Trying to relfect back on this particular stay is difficult, due to the lapsed time period, and the many stays that we have had since.
1. I do recall comments made by the guests of their family losses and their need for a get-a-way. Death and grieving are difficult to know how to respond to, even with people that we know well. From my perspective our guests were emotionally fatigued, thus I felt a short welcome was what they preferred, and that they be allowed their desired get-a-way.
2. Used tea lights? We do pre-lite tea lights for the assistance of our guests. If we are interrupted, they may burn for a few minutes, before they are put out, but they are never re-used.
3. We do not recall the departure on this occassion. Again, prior, we had sensed a real mourning spirit, and were uncertain as to how much contact and conversation was desired.
4. Breakfast. Cinammon buns are prepared in 2 ways. We serve and soft sticky style buns and a firm cake style. We don't know what was served on this occassion, but to say and everything is made fresh each morning.
Compared to other reviews posted on the website, this experience was clearly different. For that, our deepest regrets and apolgies. At any time, we welcome direct contact, written or verbal, or a public review, from our guests about their experience. In this case, to our knowledge, there was no other attempt to make contact with us to discuss this experience. As innkeepers, none of us want guests to have a regrettable experience.
So again, our deepest aplogies for not meeting your expectations. You are invited back at anytime for a free nights stay.

From the beginning to the end, my stay at Sweet Dreams Luxury Inn was wonderful and I was so disappointed when I had to leave. I appreciated the lovely warm welcome and the way you paid attention to making sure every detail of my stay was perfect. The beautiful and luxurious rooms and peaceful surroundings are truly a hidden gen in the Fraser Valley. Although I live nearby, as I drove up the winding driveway through the tall trees on either side, I felt completely transported and that I was truly escaping from my busy reality. Sweet Dreams Luxury Inn is affordable luxury and provided the ideal surroundings for my colleagues and I to "retreat" and accomplish more than we had imagined possible in the time we had available. Thanks again and we will be back!!!

This was a truly magnificent and luxurious find. Everything about this place is incredibly beautiful and tastefully done. The bed and linens were the most comfortable that I have ever slept in. In fact, I am trying to find a way to get back here for a relaxing weekend with my partner.

Thank you for an absolutely lovely stay at Sweet Dreams. We were so comfortable in the warm atmosphere that you've created and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were so thankful for your willingness to meet our restricted dietary needs as it made our stay so much easier for us when we didn't have to worry about it. Thank you for your hospitality and making our stay a memorable one!

I have stayed at sweet dreams twice now and each time has been a great experience. The rooms are fantastic and perfect for business travel or just relaxing if thats what you want to do. It so peaceful and the beds are so good that it's one of the best nights sleep I've had on the road in ages. Dorothy will do a great job of meeting your needs and she's a great breakfast chef as well. This place is worth it! Regards, Al Rempel

This was a great find in Abbotsford & in general. I am a business traveler who spends at least 125 nights per year in hotels & this was such a treat & retreat from the ordinary. It was like a home away from home! It was SPOTLESS (& I can be a stickler), the food was great, the accommodations VERY comfortable... in short, I didn't want to leave & in fact I extended my stay one more night. I would highly suggest this inn to anyone - it was like coming home to my own wonderfully decorated, well-kept & smartly designed mansion that also happened to be business friendly w/an in-room desk, internet & good lighting.

This was a great place for us to have our Company meeting, very clean & peaceful, quiet setting. Our out of town guests were impressed. We would certainly use this as a meeting place again. Great service and the food was delicious.
4,2 sur octobre 22, 2008
First I'd like to start by saying if you are looking for a romantic peaceful retreat with that special someone you have to go to this place. It is a tranquil experience to say the least away from the hussle and bussle of everyday life. The rooms are gorgous and you are left alone to enjoy the experience with your partner. I would go back for sure!

It was truly a wonderful setting for our meetings! I am sure you will be hearing from one of us in the near future to book another meeting / rooms. Thank you...CONAIR GROUP INC.
5 sur octobre 20, 2008
I didn't get a chance to sign your guestbook or even say good-bye... I just wanted to thank you for a lovely stay. it's the most beautiful B&B I've ever stayed at in my life, and I've stayed at a few. Thanks for the comfortable bed, great food, kind hospitality, and also for the perfect setting...it went very well.

what makes it so funny is that there is some piping to control the line
what makes it so funny is that there is some piping to control the line
I wonder if he made each individual person walk through the zig zag barrier then stand there as if to wait their "turn" until he acknowledged them or if you could just skip that and walk straight up to his table. I just imagine the eye contact going on as this person is approaching from 20 feet away, trying to get a look at the sign because they aren't sure who it is.....
jackIe Is great.
damn that has to be a huge heavy night sweats type of regret for not signing the show contract way back...& think how better the show would have been...fucking sucks for everyone
I hate being bipolar, its awesome.
Aww, poor Jackie. I would have felt bad and probably bought the cheapest thing he was trying to sell. I would have been a little excited to see him though! It's Jackie the Jokeman!
Can you get your picture taken with these people or do you just wait in line to buy stuff from them?
Jackie will try anything to make money I hope he a least broke even.
gawd, who buys any of that shit nowadays anyway?
I hate being bipolar, its awesome.
This is a fucking funny weekend thread...
Thanks, M.J.
That crowd control roping is the icing on the cake.. fucking a that is funny..sad but funny
I went to one of these shows back in 97 or 98 to see Adam West, I waited on line for an hour to meet him. Frank Gorshan (the Riddler) was there too and like Jackie nobody wanted his autograph. So I went over and got one from him he was so happy he kept me at his stand for 1/2 hour telling me old Hollywood stories. He even invited me and my then girlfriend to the hotel bar to have drinks with him. I didn't take him up on the offer because Adam West kept hitting on my GF.
...the zig zag stations looks like the check out line at frys electronics. whats also funny is jackies looking like he heavily occupied with something hes reading or writing. maybe hes checking in on his investments or writing some news jokes. kind of reminds me of a defendant sitting at their table in court. like oj always pretending he was reading or writing something. jackie knows all the insider tricks.

Tigers fall in Transylvania Tipoff Championship game
November 22, 2003
Aaron Drake and Derek Lawrence notched career highs with 19 and 17 points, respectively, but it wasn't enough as Wisconsin-Whitewater beat the Tigers 82-68 in the Transylvania Tipoff Tournament in Lexington, Ky.
The Warhawks shot 58 percent from the field including 63 percent in the first half in building a 46-35 advantage at the intermission. DePauw's connected on just 44 percent from the floor and hit just two of 16 three-point field goals.
Five Warhawks finished in double figures led by Matt Jones with 19. DePauw's Alex Stewart was selected to the all-tournament team.
DePauw returns to action this Saturday, November 29, when they host the first annual Mike Rokicki Community Versus Cancer Challenge.

Honda will build its next-generation supercar near Marysville, right next to the plant that makes its flagship Accord, the company said yesterday.
In about two years, the new Acura NSX will roll off the line at a 184,000-square-foot building that once served as Honda's North American logistics center.
The company will spend $70 million on the project and employ about 100 people. The workers will be drawn from Honda's other plants in the region, a group that one of the project leaders calls an all-star team.
Gov. John Kasich said NSX is the kind of vehicle James Bond would drive.
"I have to tell you, when (you sit) in that car … you become part of the highway; you become part of the road," he said, speaking to Honda employees and local dignitaries on the mostly empty plant floor.
The NSX is a revival of a sports car model sold by Honda from 1990 to 2005. It will be the first high-performance vehicle of its type to be made by a Japanese automaker in the United States, Honda has said. The previous version had a sticker price of about $90,000. Pricing for the new one has not been determined.

If you were a fan of Lambing Live 2011 and are missing it this year as much as us, this Spring the Soil Association attempts to scratch the itch by bringing you lambing films from Hadrian Organics in Cumbria.
Our farmers are encouraged to keep their sheep out on pasture all year round if ground conditions allow. However during bad weather or when the ewes start lambing they can be brought indoors for shelter and to give time for lambs to bond with their mothers.
Our sheep munch a range of pastures dependant on the farm they are on. From clover rich fields to traditional native grasses and herbs, you can be sure they are mainly fed naturally on the good stuff under their hooves. Occasionally their diet is supplemented with organic cereals or a mixture of organic cereals known as 'cake' to help give the sheep extra energy for times like lambing.
Our standards do not permit continuous use of antibiotics, wormers or other veterinary products. We believe health must start with the right livestock on the right farm with the right management. If you get these three right, medical intervention can be kept to a minimum. Like us animals can get ill, if this is the case swift management must always be taken by the farmer and vet to restore the animal back to health. If veterinary products are used then we double what is known as the withdrawal period to ensure little or no residues are in the food you will eat.
There are lots of reasons why we don't support GM. Our sheep are encouraged to eat a natural diet that is free from GM and hopefully packed with Omega 3+6s from the pasture they eat.
Organo – what? This chemical has been historically used in sheep baths to clean the sheep of external parasites like lice and mites. There have been concerns raised on the use of OP dips and therefore we do not permit them under our standards for the health of our farmers and consumers. If our sheep need treatment for external parasites then alternative therapies are available which target the specific ailment.
Sheep play a vital role in managing the hills and upland areas of the UK. Without them these landscapes would revert back to scrub and forest. Much of this wilderness cannot be farmed with traditional crops that we can digest; therefore sheep play a vital role in converting this low value grazing to highly digestible and nutritious meat that we can enjoy.

Product 922/1276
Kelly Lynch wanted to become a firefighter to help people and give his life meaning. But his accident-prone nature has his boss thinking he's an utter fool. He never planned to fall for Nate Anderson, but now that he has, he's realizing loving is easy; it's understanding and comprise that is the hard part.
Nate has been attracted to Kelly since his first day at the station house, and watching the younger man day in day out is frustrating to say the least. Kelly's latest stunt almost got him killed, and for fear of losing Kelly, Nate decides to discourage the man of his dreams from his own dream.
Will Nate's demanding ways push Kelly away, causing the flames of their love to smolder and die? Or can Kelly prove he has what it takes to become a firefighter Nate can be proud of, in and out of the bedroom?

Many customers and former customers of Citizens Bank are finding checks in the mail as part of a class action lawsuit aimed at how the bank handled overdraft fees.
Customers who submitted claims in the $137.5 million overdraft class action settlement last year started receiving payments in September. The deadline to submit a claim was May 6, 2013
Those impacted included customers with a Citizens Bank consumer account accessible with a Citizens Bank debit card between January 1, 2002 and August 13, 2010 and paid overdraft fees.
On March 12, 2013, a U.S. District Court granted final approval for the settlement.
Settlement payments began being disbursed to those settlement class members on Sept. 19.

Forum topic: New game feature or game mode: 6DoF?
well, after seeing the video, i'm sure i don't want to play such a game, getting all confused and dizzy.... ;) i definetly want to know if a game works that way.
term 6DoF added as subgenre.
Game: Terminus
but a relevant one?
but in case anyone wants to get it:
Game: The Mana World
The main site say something on the like of: "We have released a new version but no one will be able to even touch it for we don't know how long and the latest release only affects devs."
Great news for linux GAMERS
Forum topic: New game feature or game mode: 6DoF?
I do not agree. 6DoF means that you move independently from gravity, but it doesn't necessarily mean that everything else around you does as well
Game: Terminus
The game could still run fine, but being commercial and 10 years old, how is people supposed to get it?
The official website doesn't give buying options, google returns nothing and it isn't available even as a torrent.
WTF? probaly a good game, but a relevant one?
Forum topic: New game feature or game mode: 6DoF?
more, it means you can move in any direction at any time if you want, but right it is only possible with no gravity

While the EOS 6D boasted some attention grabbing features including built-in WiFi and GPS and slightly undercut the Nikon on price, it couldn't match its rival in one or two key areas, namely the less populated AF system and lower resolution sensor. |
Introduced in November 2012 as the proposed 'kit' lens for the EOS 6D, the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM lens represents an interesting move for Canon – despite two well respected lenses in this category, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM and the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM hopes to offer a compact, lightweight lens suitable for the newly created lightweight, full-frame camera segment. The red L-series band offers the promise of professional performance, but does it live up to the expectations? |
