#1 Oh, there're lots of other words that pop to mind: xenophobia, blind hatred, arrogance...

You left out "hot candidate for the old glass and Windex."

Muslims Told Not to Be Swayed by Foreign Ideas
You mean like decency, tolerance, respect for other religions and cultures, respect for women, learning (besides the extremist Koran), a work ethic, [need I go on?]....

#3 Muslims Told Not to Be Swayed by Foreign Ideas

Hmmm. Do you think this is in reaction to Gentle forming a punk band? I heard she formed the band after coming out of rehab following her Rantburg-inspired nervous breakdown. I caught her first single on MTV. It's a cover of "Rock 'n' Roll High School" by The Ramones. The vid rules, but her hajib does not lay well on her head what with the mohawk she is sporting these days. She calls her haircut (and band) The Abu Dhabi Do. Her Rock The Casbah Mid-East Tour '04 is coming along swell. The reviews are explosively good. "We Love You Nablus!!!" She is dedicating her first CD, "Pink Haze" to the latest Hamas leader (peace be upon his corpse). ROCK ON GETNLE!!! YOU RULE!!! WE WANT GENTLE!! WE WANT GENTLE!!

#5 Right you are Shippy. (If I may modify your moniker this once with all due respect). 2 Hacker-Pschorr Weisse = 1 mushroom. I am definitely in the bag...again. What are you drinking? It is happy hour in Southland Chicago. White Sox beat the Cubs. I've been meaning to ask. There was a guy on my boat in the Navy named Shipman. Any relation? Shipman sea story to follow if interested.

#7 Yukon Jack....you're visiting the dark gods. As Dennis Hopper said: bad things, man, bad things. I am visiting San Diego for the first time in my life in July for a conference. Any must see stuff I should plan? (Outta beer, swithcing to Rum.)

#8 Mission Beach in full-thong-sun; of course the zoo, Tijuana and Ensenada in Mexico if you've never been there (just get Mex-Insur car insurance); La Jolla Cove at sunset, the Del Mar horse races...enough? there's a lot more..

#9 Thongs...thongs...thongs...(stupor)...bad things, man, bad things. We don't get many of those 'round here. Are Tijuana/Ensenada touristy or get-drunk-thrown-in-jail sleazy. I am bringing my spousal unit. The ponies sound just my speed.

#10 Fire me off the story Zpaz, I always like to hear of my nere do well kin. :)

Especially if it involves drinking and or a train wreck... if the Christian name was Kelly high quality (tasteful of course) black and white glossies would also be appreciated.

#11 Tijuana and Ensenada (less so) are as bad as you wanna be :-) - I f the wife unit is attending, I'd suggest Old Town in San Diego, instead. Try Old Town Mexican Cafe for excellent food/drinks - more locals go there than anywhere else - less touristy. Eat at SD Bay - Pt Loma Seafoods for a fish or squid sandwich and Anchor Steam on draft

#12 Kelly Shipman. She pithced for the Maryland Terps right?

My Shipman was the original gorilla. On board the boat, we had 2 main steam isolation valves. The valves were huge with 24" handwheels. For mere mortals, opening one valve would take about 3 minutes and could never be done in one continuous motion. It was always pull, move your hands, pull, move your hands, pant, rest, pull. Shipman could open both valves simultaneously, one in each hand, in one continuous motion, each valve in a different clockwise direction, with both valves above his head, never with a firm grasp but with the palm of his hands like on a steering wheel, all in under 60 seconds. He was the missing link. Plus he was a great rad tech.

Anyway, one day he comes up to me and says, "I think I have a problem." "What's that?" I ask. "Well, my mother-in-law was having money problems so we had her move in. It was OK for a while and all, but she is starting to annoy us and we think she needs to find a place of her own." I asked, "Ok, what about the money?" "Well," he says, "she got a better job." "Ok, so what's the problem?" I ask. "Well, it's just that...well, she's having my baby."

My man.
