Comment on Smoke 'em if you got 'em (2011-03-20 11:32:35)
Yeah, that's where you found (neat site!). Unfortunately, no artist credit there, either.

So who drew this? I would certainly like to see more of their work.
Comment on My car wishes it was a Cobra... (2011-03-05 20:12:08)
Actually, it's everything except the matching serial numbers: side pipes, back and sides, spoiler, turbocharger. Also 17" rims, calipers, etc. Even says 'COBRA' on the back. Not really racing on ice; just caught a patch. Didn't feel like taking the wife's car to the store.

Okay, there is one problem with my 'Cobra' and this is 450 HP to the rear wheels and if it catches a piece of ice you can (and I have) done a 360 in about 2 seconds. My wife and I are going to drive it to New Orleans for our anniversary in May. About 2,500 miles round trip down and back up the Mississippi.
Comment on My car wishes it was a Cobra... (2011-03-05 15:03:52)
I've got a '98 Mustang GT Convertible V8 4.6 turbocharged 'Cobra' http://www.facebook.com/album.php?id=14825713&aid=2471718#!/photo.php?fbid=848571284329&set=a.848571004889.2471718.14825713&theater . The reason that I put 'Cobra' in quotes is because the previous owner had done everything to convert it from a GT to a Cobra (body, engine, side pipes, etc.) but the serial numbers don't match. Anyway, I love this car. I really do. It's insane fun to drive. It goes from zero to illegal in nothing flat.
Comment on The hands of Keith Richards, 2010 (2011-01-10 19:20:25)
Just finished reading Keith's "Life." Very little about music; a whole lot about being a junkie. Clearly this was an outtake for the book cover.

That is so close to the truth. Currently at day 70. I've got a freaking Ph.D. for chrissakes! In computer science! Jeez!

Ewwww! Megan Fox thumbs!
Comment on Megan Fox (2010-07-01 10:14:34)
The only way you can tell is the 'Megan Fox thumb' (tm). It's clearly visible in the last picture. Yup, that's her!

I have this image on a T-shirt. Edward Gorey was the greatest.
Comment on Sometimes, a man's only friend (2009-09-23 09:51:54)
Sorry about quoting "Old Drum"; I can't read it without getting soggy, too. There was another, not as famous, case involving Cutter, an Irish setter owned by Bronson La Follette, the Attorney General of Wisconsin. Cutter had been caught running loose in Madison for the third time (the death penalty). La Follette hired Eddie Ben Elson, a brilliant and crazy attorney to defend Cutter. Elson first filed a motion that the animal control officer pick Cutter out of a lineup of Irish setters. Motion denied. Elson then demanded a jury of Cutter's peers: 12 Irish setters. Motion denied. Elson eventually maid an impassioned charge to the jury, I remember this vividly though I don't think I was there. I probably heard it from somebody who was. I'm probably paraphrasing, but I remember that Elson read a letter from Cutter to the jury that ended, "I know I should be a better dog, but I just can't control myself when them city bitches are in heat." Elson got Cutter acquitted.
Comment on Sometimes, a man's only friend (2009-09-22 18:05:24)
"Gentlemen of the jury, the best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter whom he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us -- those whom we trust with our happiness and good name -- may become traitors in their faith. The money that a man has he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolute, unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world -- the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous -- is his dog. "Gentlemen of the jury, a man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow, and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. "If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death."

Granted, the movie didn't answer enough (any) questions. Still, it was an okay fix for a Dead Like Me junkie. P.S. For Xmas I got a Dead Like Me action figure!
