Guy Garvey played this classic Frank Loesser holidaymaker at the end of his  BBC 6 program  [@ 1:55: 00] last night ( YouTube ). If this is what our grandparents listened to on New Year's Eve, it's small wonder that sales of the late Mitch Hedberg's favorite brand of cigar - It's-a-Boys - always seemed to spike round September 30 of the following year.

Dental Assistant Fired For Being 'Irresistible' Is 'Devastated' "Dr. Knight acknowledges he once told Nelson that if she saw his pants bulging, she would know her clothing was too revealing," the justices wrote. Six months before Nelson was fired, she and her boss began exchanging text messages about work and personal matters, such as updates about each of their children's activities, the justices wrote. The messages were mostly mundane, but Nelson recalled one text she received from her boss asking "how often she experienced an orgasm." Scott     I'm too sexy for my (X-ray) skirt.

Those  words aren’t yet a cliché on TV crime dramas, but security experts agree that it’s only a matter of time before smartphones become the smart person’s murder weapon of choice. By   Charles C. Mann ...  The IOActive researcher, a man named Barnaby Jack, was so worried about the implications of his work that he intentionally obscured many of the details in his presentation. As a further precaution, he asked the attendees not to take any pictures—a tough request in a crowd full of smartphones and laptops ...  Let’s face it: Barnaby Jack is a man who is quite literally looking for trouble ...

She did Nazi it coming : In a letter to Tina Levitan, the great physicist Richard Feynman explained why his prospective  inclusion in her book celebrating Jewish Nobelists  was, in its racial-genetic essentialism, neither Kosher nor Noble. The volume of Feynman's letters from which it came garnered twenty-six five-star reviews - of twenty-six entire - at Amazon.com, in which very unanimity it counters its own title,  Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track :  [Book Description] "It was his outsized love for life, however, that earned him the status of an American cultural icon - here was an extraordinary intellect devoted to the proposition that the thrill of discovery was matched only by the joy of communicating it to others ... Whether discussing the Manhattan Project or developments in quantum physics, the Challenger investigation or grade-school textbooks, the love of his wife or the best way to approach a problem, his dedication to clarity, grace, humor, and

Murray Kempton (1917-1997) V ia Jess Nevins at Not by the Direct Method: Murray Kempton on Time magazine This bit endlessly amuses me: …the man who conceived this postcard could have sent me a page from  Fanny Hill  day after day and never have come close to the depths beyond decent expression that he had plumbed within me by the mere mention of  Time  magazine. My hatred of  Time  is my one unbridled lust. If the pornographic impulse is an obsession with the contemplation of a debased object, then I have a dirty mind about  Time . For example, I could not imagine myself participating in an obscene telephone call except in response to a polite inquiry from a gently nurtured young lady identifying herself as a  Time  researcher. Young men from  Time  are the only ones I meet on a story whom I automatically identify as enemies rather than colleagues. As a slaughterhouse of moral integrity,  Time  is the Verdun of the young…. I remember hearing a Kluxer in Little Rock call a young man fro

“T he Nietzsche Family Circus   pairs a randomized Family Circus cartoon with a randomized Friedrich Nietzsche quote. Refresh the page to see a new comic.” Extreme positions are not succeeded by moderate ones, but by contrary extreme positions. When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you. The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything. It is by invisible hands that we are bent and tortured worst. They call you heartless; but you have a heart, and I love you for being ashamed to show it. A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation. Wisdom sets limits to knowledge too. We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh. Success has always been a great liar. One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed
