Displaying 31 To 60 Of 435 Comments Friday Music Thread – Why So Serious? Gonna do just that, my friend. » Posted By HITO On August 13, 2010 @ 5:28 pm Damn! It worked! Kes, can’t thank you enough. » Posted By HITO On August 13, 2010 @ 5:19 pm Wow! Thanks, Kes. I’m going to try it right now, hope I can do it as an edit function…oh, I’m scared! Hey, good to see you. 🙂 » Posted By HITO On August 13, 2010 @ 5:17 pm Apologies, have never done music night, have never posted a youtube, so this will probably be a lame attempt. Thank you Adlib, for fixing it, as I imagine you will do…thanks. But I thought the theme of “feel good” songs is so warranted this week, that I’m going to give you the link and a bit of lyrics to my favorite song that no matter how down about “stuff” I get, my spirits are lifted from the upbeat time signature and silly at times lyrics. Dave Matthews, “What Would You Say”…
Up and down the puppies’ hair Rip away the tears What would you say » Posted By HITO On August 13, 2010 @ 5:02 pm Lack of moisture or arid conditions due to excessive drainage can become a problem. It is imperative that one keeps irrigation in the forefront of considerations. Sometimes my windows fog up. I assume it’s based on the hot vs. cold between the apartment and the outside world. » Posted By HITO On August 12, 2010 @ 7:04 pm LMAO! You tricky guy, you! I hear ya. I’m ready for that Nevadian heat…bring it on! » Posted By HITO On August 12, 2010 @ 6:49 pm I have tried to inspire my two children that they could be the ones to discover solutions to our planet’s environmental problems. Especially my accelerated son, the science lover. I don’t get too heavy, but I do say “A mind is a terrible thing to waste, and yours is amazing.” As well as “You could be the one”, but I readily admit that I am very partial to the phrasing “…Is the One”. LOL. (FYI, If you don’t know me, and I don’t think you do, I am the former poster “He Is The One”.) Hello, Mightywoof, do I hear some Brit in your jargon? » Posted By HITO On August 12, 2010 @ 6:46 pm Yeah, well you’re a tough guy. You don’t melt like I do. I don’t look good withering. So, NY is getting NV’s heat? At least marginally? » Posted By HITO On August 12, 2010 @ 6:37 pm NY is not known for that “fire season”. We have the Shawangunks (mountains) which occasionally cleanses itself with a big lightning induced fire that will take out 30 acres. But these days there are more people building homes in those dangerous areas. We also have the Ashokan reservoir near here. That is NYC’s start of their water supply. It flows south through other filtration/up-pumping stations. When that reservoir drops to low levels, NYC and the governor take note rather quickly. So far so good this year. But it is the bellwether. » Posted By HITO On August 12, 2010 @ 6:34 pm Javaz, you should know you have far more than 2 fans these days! There’s something wrong. Weather is too extreme, and I hope to God someone is paying attention. If the Atlantic’s Gulf Stream raises by a mere 3 degrees the effects will be global…especially to the western European shoreline. » Posted By HITO On August 12, 2010 @ 6:26 pm The fire maps and graph are excellent and very persuasive. The Mid-Hudson Valley, NY report (3 hours north of NYC) includes the hottest summer in my memory of being here these past 22 years. Humid, dew points off the records, and 90 something everyday. I remember when I bought my former house, the real estate agent said “You’re in the mountains, you won’t need air conditioning”. Ha! » Posted By HITO On August 12, 2010 @ 6:09 pm Your synopsis has chilled me to the bone. Spot on and terrifying Kes. Excellent analogy. » Posted By HITO On June 18, 2010 @ 7:08 pm Vox Populi – AfterChat – 4-23-2010 G’morning Adlib. Cool, that even though I hadn’t signed in (stealth mode!) the ever-changing header over the Vox Populi showed that you and I and 2 guests are currently on here. Saw a report this morning on CNN (don’t tell anyone I watched CNN)that Facebook is pulling in 500billion hits per month. I think that was the number, was early. I hope you guys NEVER link up with Facebook. I don’t Face, btw. The Warholian prediction of 15 minutes of notoriety per person has been fulfilled, and it is tragic. See you later, alligator. » Posted By HITO On April 24, 2010 @ 5:22 am And the truth shall set you free…or at least it’s supposed to. I agree completely with your sentiments, Cher. It’s becoming a world of expectations of whatever the current “norms” are, with little attention to the respect and honor the newly classified “abnormal” should elicit. Look into the mirror honestly: physically and spiritually, and deal with it. Whether that view prompts a change to be made, or a reassuring nod of appreciation that you are OK. The community where I grew up was chock-full of bricked two story homes situated by the beach, with a couple of huge old style farmhouses, which were the first to have been built in the 1800s. The newer homes of my childhood were a couple of 60s contempo styled California-ish flat roofed homes directly off the beach…they were the oddities and reflected the latest styling values. Over the last 40 years the community has been “shopped” with emphasis on bigger is better, so level the old house, put up a 3 story contemporary and make sure you have enough room for 4 cars to park in the driveway. It’s horrible. But it reflects the taste and cultural norms currently in play, with no regard or respect for the past. We need to be careful what we “shop”. More emphasis on what is considered visual perfection for the moment is not the sign of a healthy society. » Posted By HITO On April 24, 2010 @ 5:58 am Tea Party Ingredients: Old Hateful White Males on Social Security Hi Pepe. I feel like a truck hit me. But they told me I would. A couple of days laying down alot and building up my iron should should do the trick. Post, sleep, post, sleep…that’s the way it’ll go. 🙂 » Posted By HITO On April 16, 2010 @ 7:00 pm Laughing at the teabaggers is fun because it’s hard to take their antics seriously. But ignorantly angry is a dangerous combination in a person and if their numbers are growing in proportion to the baby boomers’ numbers growing, we could be looking at a nasty sector in 2012 with some pull. When the ignorant learn how to effectively mobilize, we are in some deep shit. Especially if their man Murdoch keeps feeding them via his media empire. Thanks for making me think, Adlib. Had to shake my brain awake tonight. » Posted By HITO On April 16, 2010 @ 5:39 pm The sometimes sordid history of smoking and Hollywood Hi Patsy. Hope you are well. My mom raised me on Hollywood cinema. I memorized every Fred Astaire movie made. And Bette Davis, and Jimmy Cagney, Judy Garland…oh the list goes on. All in my head! When I saw Pepe’s cig post, first thing that came to mind was that goofy “Now Voyager”. I much more preferred Hal Wallis’s “The Bride Came COD” with Bette and Cagney. Very funny. Of course Davis’ best was “Of Human Bondage”. May have been her first. More powerful than the book, if imaginable. 🙂 » Posted By HITO On March 27, 2010 @ 6:55 pm “Oh Jerry, don’t let’s ask for the moon, we have the stars.” (And we may have lung cancer.) Bette Davis, Paul Henried, “Now Voyager”. Sharing smokes at the emotional end. Silly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-KGiwGn1d8 Nice write Pepe. 🙂 » Posted By HITO On March 27, 2010 @ 6:41 pm High Times Ahead for California? Agreed Adlib. Agreed indeed, and can I go with you? Here’s a little tidbit from “Reefer Madness”, which I own on VHS. Too funny.
» Posted By HITO On March 27, 2010 @ 6:48 pm The Singing Salmon From Wasilla Sadly, people’s craving for Palin never seems to abate. If they started finding mercury in salmon, lox sales would undoubtedly decline, given the fear of being poisoned. No matter how much stupid we discover about Palin, there is still a segment of this country that wants her out there in the public eye which defies logic. She is poisoning them and they seem oblivious to its effects. Good analogy Cher. » Posted By HITO On March 26, 2010 @ 1:10 pm LMAO…like I tell Seek: “ETS”…”enjoythe silly” and your tack prank goes right there. (What no sign on his back saying “Hit Me”?) » Posted By HITO On March 19, 2010 @ 6:57 pm The “Twit” olympics still get me giggling, Adlib. Jumping over the matchboxes laid out on the lawn…too funny. I cut a day in high school to go see “The Holy Grail” at the only theatre in Manhattan that was showing it. Catholic girls in uniforms prowling the Waldorf Astoria area based on a rumor “they” were staying there. We all had the hots for Michael Palin. Good memories. » Posted By HITO On March 19, 2010 @ 6:55 pm You made me laugh. I needed that. Thanks. Went over to FRT and HP today. I keep thinking “What’s happened to us?”. We were so smart and powerful back then and we were united for the cause. I miss those days. Anyway, free style AND pigtail pulling? Oh boy, I’m in. I’ll follow your lead after I go get a glass of pinot. Thanks again Javaz. » Posted By HITO On March 19, 2010 @ 6:50 pm Hi KQuark. How’ve you been? Good to see you. » Posted By HITO On March 19, 2010 @ 6:38 pm No miracle sweet Javaz. I’m just roaming tonight. Feeling a little sentimental lately for the old days…circa 2008 when PPOV/FRT/HP oldsters gave it their all. Was glad to read Adlib’s divine interpretation. Maybe I needed that. How’ve you been? Better read up on what Vox Populi is so I don’t embarass myself in 20 minutes. » Posted By HITO On March 19, 2010 @ 6:37 pm Love the way you humanized God, Adlib. I tell my kids, don’t bother God with the day to day stuff, she’s got enough on her plate with those 8 years of Bush to fix. And of course Terry Gilliam’s Monty Python depiction was the cherry on the cake! Was waiting for the lips to move while hearing Terry Jones voice. » Posted By HITO On March 19, 2010 @ 6:27 pm She couldn’t walk, she was wasted. She had also eaten a tube of Grumbacher royal blue acrylic paint. So when they pumped her stomach, everything came out very blue. Think they kept her overnight to watch her. Maybe it wasn’t very good weed. She made it though. Miko the pot head husky. She also loved raw kale. » Posted By HITO On March 10, 2010 @ 1:17 pm We actually thought about bringing her to a shelter. That was the night she chased me up on top of the couch and was snapping at my feet. I called my husband at work and made him come home. Then there was the time she broke into our stash and ate 1/2 oz of pot. That was an interesting trip to the vet. Bottom line though, she was ours, we picked her and we needed to work through it. Haven’t had a dog since, btw. Think I’m still recovering. » Posted By HITO On March 10, 2010 @ 1:04 pm LOL. You are so damn cute Cher! » Posted By HITO On March 10, 2010 @ 1:01 pm Nice fancy font you have there Cher. And an emoticon. You guys know how to do all the good stuff! » Posted By HITO On March 10, 2010 @ 12:38 pmComments Posted By HITO
Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
‘Cause of original sin
Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
‘Cause of original sin
Drink a hope to happy years
And you may find
A lifetime’s passed you by
Don’t drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don’t cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don’t bite the mailman
What would you say
