Odds, ends

1.  A very sincere thank you to Mark Curtin, who surprised me with the DVD of Soylent Green. Which, of course, is people. 

2.  Yes, my birthday is approaching (February 1). No, you don’t have to send my anything—especially not from my Amazon wishlist over there on the left.  That’s just for show.  Like those little bright-colored soap balls people keep in baskets in their bathrooms.

3.  All you need to solve 13 open serial rape and murder cases is chalk and a really good laser printer.  And maybe a sprinkler.

4.  Looks like the “Patriots” are on the verge of a “dynasty”—something Noam Chomsky’s been insisting on for years.  Go Noam!

5.  Pineapple on pizza?  Sure, why not.  Though let’s not go making a habit out of it, okay?

    I watched N3mbers after the game too. Said to my daughter: “See – math is useful for something!”. She gave me the finger.

    I predict the show will get the finger too, they don’t provide the actual formulas for nerdies to fisk, and the chalk writings are going to scare the general public.

  2. Sean M. says:

    Curse those Patriots and their hegemony!

  3. McClane says:

    No, no, no.  You also need those funky Greek symbols and a missing “human element” to solve those hard core cases.  In the next episode, let’s see him find out where the nuke that obliterated some random American city came from.  Calculate the reverse function on that one, bitch.

  4. MC says:

    Oh, yeah, nice to know you are a fellow Aquarian – although when I learned that the ruler of Aquarius is Uranus, I was conflicted.

    I mean we could rightly say: “MY MASTER IS URANUS”, but which one would it be if we said it together? Mine or yours? It’s confusing.

    <serious>

    I read that the the association in Aquarius is that of the servant of humanity pouring out the water of knowledge to quench the thirst of the world.

    In that sense, you inhabit the sign my friend. Blessings!

    </serious>

    Also, should you eschew pineapply pizza – please don’t mix the soylent green with the little red pills – it would be too much like confusing cannabis with cannibalism. Yeck!

    Uh, yeah, Sean took care of the Pats …

  5. Sean M. says:

    Gnome–er, I mean Noam, and I thank you for your kind words, MC.

    I’ll leave it to someone of keener intellect and earlier bedtime to flesh out the neocon conspiracy that ties the ascendance of the Patriot dynasty to the Patriot Act and/or the Buschimphitlercoinc Crime Dynasty.  A Halliburton subsidiary pineapple-growing cartel is probably involved.

    Don’t forget the Canadian bacon; Martha wouldn’t.

    Shouldn’t Numb3rs be in PRIME time … PRIME … time .. get it “numbers” … prime … because, well .. anyway…

    Judd Hirsch continued a trend begun in “Independence Day” … giving that piece of advice/observation that allows the Genius son to create a two hot spot model instead of one and/or let the other Genius son create a virus on a Mac that redefined system interoperability.

    Next week on Numb3rs:  “Actuary of Death” … Math geniuses match wits as a Actuary versed in the dark secrets of causality, morbidity, and mortality kills annuitants who are living beyond his calculations.  It’s the Law of the Land versus the Law of Large Numbers.

    “Posted at 12:01 am?” You think that’s going to get you by for Monday, January 24, 2005, Goldstein?  It’s 10:35 am and you’ve got some serious junkies out here constipated on parmesan. Fiber, Martha, fiber.

    Hey, I was going to watch that this weekend!

    Thanks for ruining it, asshole.

  10. Tman says:

    So this begs the question- Is Noam a Patriots fan?

    Seeing as how he’s at MIT and all, he should be.

    But he probably likes the Steelers instead (being a true blue collar team), and blames the beat down the Pats gave Pittsburgh on the Jews or something.

    Zionist Scheming Defense!!!

  11. Daniel says:

    I think this shirt would make a nice birthday present for Jeff G.

  12. I don’t give gifts to those who don’t give gifts to me. It’s just a rule with me.

  13. SteveL says:

    Chomsky surely despises “American” football, as yet further evidence of our quest for global dominance. 

    American Abu Gharib Guard:  Is football played with a round or oblong ball?

    Terrorist: Round.

    American Abu Gharib Guard: Wrong answer bitch! Get on your knees and bark like a dog!

    Explains it all really.

    I just got back from Maui. I ordered a pizza while I was there, asked the guy “do you have a hawaiian pizza?”

    He told me “They’re ALL hawaiian here, bra…”

    I should maybe learn.

  15. JWebb says:

    Does the gift I previously sent count?

  16. MC says:

    JWebb – Come on – a rehash of Wichita Lineman just doesn’t keep on giving you know? I mean:

    searchin’ in the sun for another overlord

    just to help Jeff get in touch with his master? I think you gotta bring something else.

    Hi there, first time reader and poster.  I cannot recall what brought me here, but anyhoo…

    5.  Pineapple on pizza?  Sure, why not.  Though let’s not go making a habit out of it, okay?

    I had the same impression when I first heard of it.  It’s sort of like the 1st time saw someone putting ranch dressing on their pizza.  It’s aquired taste/sensation.

    To compliment the pineapple pizza, add jalapenos and pepperoni.  To really tickle your taste buds, make it a thin crust.

    It’s a good thing.
