b1: if something like that happened to me, i'd blow the emergency
hatch. during the next 8 hours of questioning, time and time again i'd
say, "i thought it was terrorist activity. i felt hitting the hatch was
my patriotic duty."
use the same inane reasoning that fills the US today against the very
people who espouse it.
there's not a jury in the US that would convict.

K: and I would cheer you
ooh. first person account:

b1: i'm telling you, blow the hatch, claim "terrorism."

future shylock
K: I found my copy of Future Shock. 16th printing -- all in the first 6 months.
b1: impressive. you could say that "future shock" was in itself, the first example of over-data.
K: The film was narrated by Orson Welles.
b1: spooky.
K: That dude's voice alone would give me shock.
I'm trying to find a copy online. I need to see it.
there was also a 1994 SF/Horror movie with that name.
b1: SPOOKY.
K: And a 1973 TV series.
what's over-data?
b1: it's a term i just coined to describe too much information. it's awesome. you're welcome to be among the first to use it.
K: Bingo. It's on YouTube.
(the documentary)
tonight's all-night project will be the Future Shock study.
there are some great looking vids in YouTube. e.g. "1999 A.D. : Shopping from Home!:
or, as we Jews would say, 1999 C.E.
b1: or as those of us who haven't religiously attached ourselves to people who thought they were "advanced thinkers" 5000 years ago would say, "shut the fuck up." [king feddy says i should use that statement more often (<- true).]
K: HAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
b1: i apologize for that. i just woke up. do note that it did play well to the secular audience.
K: and I'll read this: http://www.fastcompany.com/
This low-priced Bantam Book has been completely reset in a typeface designed for easy reading, and was printed from new plates. It contains complete text of the original hard-cover edition. NOT ONE WORD HAS BEEN OMITTED.

the crunch of the king
b1 <sent to both special K and king feddy>: the car is the american form of independence. without it, you're the victim of both relatives and social assistance ... the US equivalent of deep poverty.
king feddy: Very true (if no subway).
special K: Moreso in the west. In the NE public transpo is more socially acceptable.
b1: feddy said the same thing.
K: He is very wise.
b1: that's why *he* is not "the cereal guy."

1960 WS Game 7 is probably the greatest baseball game ever played
and this broadcast, with the players 50 years later, is incredible
b1: is it over?
K: just finished watching minutes ago
b1:tell me more.
(humidity is 96%)
K: Pirates vs Yanks
P got off to 4-0 lead
Yanks pulled ahead 5-4 in 6th
then 7-4
after 8, Pirates led 9-7
b1: and bing has this because he went on vacation to europe and had it
filmed for him.
K: right. too superstitious to watch.
Pirates inning stayed alive when a sure double play hit SS in the
throat
b1: jesus.
K: in top 9th, Mantle makes a stupid play that works out. 9-9.
bot 9. leadoff hitter Mazeroski homers. series.
aggregate score: Yanks 55 Pirates 27
yet Pirates win 4 games to 3
first and only walkoff game 7 win in baseball history
first and only postseason game with 0 strikeouts
b1: i don't know what "walkoff" means
K: walkoff is a play that ends a game (bot 9th or
later)
because after you do it, everybody walks off the field
b1: good one.
K: coined by Dennis Eckersley.
great A's relief pitcher
b1: i think i know him.
K: good dude
b1: mustache guy, right?
K: yes.
K: so we have
walkoff homer
walkoff double
walkoff walk
et al
b1:and only 1 team can make a walkoff play.
K: home team only
there's a great new term in football, btw
b1: do tell.
(you're all fired up.)
K: "interception returned for a touchdown" = "pick six"
pick from pickoff
which has meant interception for a long time
I like it. Useful.

I'VE NEVER SEEN THE COMMERCIAL.

and it was kind of a bonding moment for us.
K: : when was that?
b1: 1993 or 4.
K: I'm glad you remember that for both of us. My memory...well, you
know.
b1: why do you think you don't remember?

John Irving stories are filled with beatings, maimings, blood, and
tragic deaths.
b1: a woman has brain damage ...
no short term memory.
so her BF has to figure out how to remind her who she is ...
it's actually very good.
well written.

K: Jodi's getting raped
gang raped
b1: sexy.

oh, to re-live greatness cheaply
K: I got my 2010 World Series DVD set today. 8 DVDs.
b1: great. how much? and at the risk of asking the obvious, what's on
it?
K: WS games, 2 NLCS games, 1 bonus disc (postgame, parade, season
highlights, etc). $35.
b1: that's a good deal.
K: It is. $80 list. Not Blu-ray, though.
They did a nice job. Discs are orange. Disc cases are covered in text:
box score, game notes, trivia, etc.
Includes SF radio on alternate audio channel, which is HUGE.
b1: they synch the radio broadcasts with the game?
K: Yes they do.
b1: THAT is cool. how much total listening/viewing time is there?
K: The box says 19 hours, but that's gotta be way low. The games alone
are more than that.
b1: stupid box.
K: I LOVE THE BOX.
b1: and EVERY TIME you watch, the giants win. EVERY TIME.
K: So true. Forever. The WS trophy is about to go on tour.
b1: i think you should figure out how to preserve it...digital isn't
dependable enough...like the constitution...put it in a concrete column
in case of attack.
K: If they put a Giants logo on it, my wife will buy it.
b1: don't blame your obsession on momma K.
K: We share the Giants. But since they won she's gone majorly retail.
wacky pack toys
* lunar rover (in front)
* space catapult (i don't know why when you think "space," you should
think "catapult")
* "space tots" (specifically "astro tot" and "space ape tot")
the catapult "shoots" about 2" beyond the base of the device. this is
*exactly* the kind of toy that my brother would have used once when he
was 5, then spent the following 8 hours making it shoot objects hard
(and far) enough that they could easily go through a window.
talk about you get what you pay for
b1: greetings from sonic where it's wacky pack wednesday. chicken strips, apple slices, powerade slush and a lunar lander for $1.50.
sure, but don't go in the black room
b1; the song used during the streaming toilet paper of blue man group is "last train to trance central." THIS is what the KLF is about!

fat referee on a purse special K is holding: "you take that back now."
special K: "you didn't say that at the buffet last night."
birds of a feather, eh special K?
you've just never paid enough
K: A giant purple vagina made of lightning just opened up in the sky, and Genghis Khan rode out on a horse.
I don't think I've seen that before.
I don't think I've seen that before.

4. My mom wanted to move there.
5. My grandparents made over 100 trips there.
6. Momma K says she hates it but she kind of likes it now.
7. When I was harassed by fake hookers in a fake brothel.
8. Phil Goldman's bachelor party.
9. The roller coaster in Primm.
10. The swinger's convention.
11. When I saw Shirley Bassey and Buddy Hackett at the Sahara showroom.
12. The time I went to bed early but then got up because I only had 1 night in Vegas.
13. Our plans to spend New Year's Eve 2000 in Vegas and Y2K fears.
14. When the Vegas heat killed my Prius battery.
15. Fake blueberry cheesecake at Caesar's.
