I finally moved into a household with Eleanor in SF. Took about 5 years, but thanks to Nana's lawyer we've got an overpriced 3BR in the heart of the ungentrified side of the Mission. Its great to have a real kitchen though. Eleanor is forging new culinary territory and impressing the hell out of everyone along the way. We sit around and discuss experiments that could be performed with Miracle Whip and amylase...
Now I find myself identifying with Christopher, the mafia soldier in "The Sopranos" who got shot and had a near-death experience in which he learned that hell is an Irish bar called The Emerald Piper where it's St.Patrick's Day every day.-Maureen O'Dowd
Acoustic guitar, how lucky you are
Well you could've belonged to Steve Earle
or Charo or Gwar-the Magnetic Fields
"He's a man about town, representing Planters and nuts wherever he goes," Yale says cheerfully. "He's not the settling-down kind."-Ruth Shalit on why Mr. Peanut might be gay...(tx to Mark for the heads up)
And I suppose that I am a more or less gay, except after a
beer or three, when I become gay-but-curious. Call it the frat boy
syndrome in reverse.
If you consider "genotypical sex" / "phenotypical gender"
/ "gender orientation" as a space, have you slept with a basis or
spanning set yet? (I think we could make it a lot more fun if we could
figure out a fourth dimension there. That would make a spanning set a
little harder to find.)-MJH 0,0,0
I couldn't help thinking about all the animals I had loved: specifically, a tarantula named Fluffy. Fluffy lived a long and I hope, happy life-tarantulas are sort of the Swedish people of animals: not exactly demonstrative.-Michelle Turner
...in the early years certain PostScript errors could cause serious brain damage. In fact, Gargleplax's sanitoria had special wards for those unlucky few who were victims of a near-fatal Courier substitution. It wasn't pretty-Richard Romano
You, Takagi, are a good example of hybrid vigor, you know?-from My Year of Meats by Ruth Ozeki
Not for the easily vexed traditionalist, this book provides the best explanation I have found to date for the legitimacy of diarrhea's use as an artistic weapon in the war on modernism--and that is no small accomplishment.-from a review of Phaidon's Mike Kelley monograph, by Stephen Mohring for Rain Taxi
The power of slave labor is greater than the power of entropy.-eleanor
Senor subsquamosa ("squamo" or "the squam-man" as we affectionately called him when, sniff, he was still among us) was collected 9 degrees north of the equator along the East Pacific Rise. (Seamen passing through the area pour malt liquor into the ocean above the site of his death; the hydrothermal vent community is tight that way...)-Pimp Daddy Fred of the EPR crew
We're both fruits, we just taste different.-Martin Rossiter of Gene, about Morrissey
The female body always has been used for entertainment-slash-abuse. I loved how in "American Psycho" Mary put a lot of gratuitous shots of Christian Bale's body, these long, lingering shower scenes, completely shot the way women are done in movies. And there were scenes in which he's looking at himself in the mirror while having sex that had to be cut in order to avoid an NC-17 rating. I take personal offense with that, since I'm nude in a three-way with a hooker later in the movie and I get brutally murdered and that was just fine with the censors.-Guenevere Turner
And like Darth Vader, I'm enjoying the use of The Force for bad things.-me
Now you're an ex-ex-gay!-pointed observation from Scotty
Watch as the myxie quivers with delight!-"Magic Myxies" by Percy Smith
The rind of the pomegranate has been cracked.-Black Lizard
What did they do, hold a recombinant vegetable to her head?-erebotropic eleanor
It's not like they put cocaine in the food. That's not cost-effective.-Ben commenting on the best Indian food he's ever had(somewhere in Portland,OR)
--What are you up to tonight?-Paul
--Aren't you going to say that I'm up to no good?-me

Life must be amazing on your planet.-Old School(aka Punk-Ass Paul)
--God did not intend for pears to grow on elm trees.-unknown PGEC person
--If God did not intend for pears to grow on elm trees, he wouldn't have created the PGEC.-Paul
Would you like me to give her the "tweakie-boy" interview?-Dr. Kroken/Mr. Tweakie
Well, Paul is just being the fifth dentist.-Scotty explaining that 4 out of 5 dentists recommend the Gormenghast Trilogy
Ummm, pure gram negative.-Paul
All of Pauline's affectations have become completely natural.-Cecil Beaton writing about Baroness Pauline de Rothschild
--What I want to know is, when the blue light is turned on, is the bunny elevated from "cute" to
"sublime"?-guy asking Eduardo Kac about Alba, the GFP bunny
--Hey, I want to be elevated from "cute" to "sublime".-me
--Dear Artist Formerly Known as Lab Protocol, The bunny becomes sublime when it passes directly
from solid bunny to gas bunny without going through a liquid bunny phase.-the genius commonly known as
Paul Bayman
All you have to do is make sure you don't get voted off the Island.-Paul's advice for "Prospective Grad Student Survivor"
