Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls!
Collins has reappeared (only in various comments, so far).
This could be scary and funny and touching and infuriating in turn and all at once. For a sample, or a warning shot (depending on your viewpoint), check out his archives.
I'm all a-tingle.

Unconfirmed, but so funny I *want* to believe
About 10 years ago the "new" Russian embassy was built in Washington DC. The back of the property backs up to a residential neighborhood and as the story goes video survellience wasn't allowed or was severely restricted.
Some wag spray-painted "Wolverines!" on the rear entrance gate of the embassy compound.

Carnival of the Cat Recipes?
Now this is interesting. Check out this recipe that wasn't sent in to the Carnival. I'm having a hard time believing that a cat wrote that post because, frankly, I don't think a cat would care enough about anyone else to bother. But then, I'm a dog person.

Danny Joe Brown - RIP
Russ alerted me to this a few days ago, but I couldn't find a link until now.
Danny Joe Brown passed away.
Danny Joe Brown, a founding member of Southern rockers Molly Hatchet, and singer and co-writer of the band's biggest hits from the late '70s, died on Thursday at his home in Davie of complications from pneumonia. He was 53.
Brown had been a diabetic and had problems with his health for years.

Glad you got the note,Ted.Danny will be missed by many.Truth is I don't know wether to just cry or get sick.All week long I have been harking back to those Inwood days at Shiley Acres where we would see Molly Hatchet every summer.I actually saw Danny in one of his last performances there.
One evning as the last Shiley show they did was wrapping up an ambulance cam creeping through the crowd.After the show they took Danny to Martinsburg hospital where he was told that he needed to stop touring and partying and just about everything else.Anyone who was there that day can tell you that he didn't look good at all.It was about a hundred and five out and he was as red as a beet.I hate to be negative but I'm suprised he lived this long because he has been on the edge for a while.
Two quick additions.Danny rejoined Hatchet again right after leaving and stayed until `97 when he found Pat McCormak of the Roaducks to replace him.Plus,he died in Miami Hospital,not at home.
Also,I have just learned withing the hour of the deaths today of both Frank Stanford lead singer of the Roustabouts as well as Blackfoot Drummer Jackson Spires.This is not to mention the death a week ago of Eddie Wells of the NY band seed who worked with DJB's son Jake on several projects.
This has been an aweful week for Southern Rock.Here is the weblink address' of some DJB Memorial pages:
http://www.silknsteelband.com/djb-memorial.htm
http://www.mollyhatchet.com/
Also,here is the official statement from the band:
DANNY JOE BROWN 1951 - 2005
From the Entire Molly Hatchet Organization we send our deepest condolences
to Danny's family and children. We are all shocked by the news of his passing
and tonight we will dedicate the show in Daytona (Bike Week) to Danny his Family
and Legacy. He gave to the fans of Molly Hatchet for many years great music and
emotion in his songs and a sense of brotherhood that brought all of us together not
only in the joy of music but friends from around the world. God Bless you Danny and
Rest in Peace ... you will never be forgotten. We love you Danny.
Bobby Ingram / Molly Hatchet

I have to make a minor correction of myself.It seems that Danny was at home when he died.He had told his family that he wanted to go home and so they took him.He died less than a half hour after arriving there.

Southern rock is the only rock, as far as I'm concerned.
We lost a giant from that kind of music when we lost Danny. His raw, powerful vocals were great on vinyl, but nothing like seeing Molly Hatchet perform. If you loved "guitar music", you loved Duane, and Danny and the band.
I've had the privledge of seeing the band 4 times, once with Jamie Farr out front. Nothing against him, but he couldn't bring the fans into the music the way Danny did.
Danny, I hope you now get to see those dreams you never got to see here. Your music will live on and on and on. It's hell getting old and seeing one of your heros gone.....when they put ME in the ground, "Dreams I'll Never See", by Molly Hatchet is on the play list.
Long live southern rock......long live the one and only sound of MOLLY HATCHET.

Molly Hatchet died in 1985. They did a reunion album in 1989, "Lightning Strikes Twice" - which brought back many of the original members from the late 70's. Danny Joe actually invited Bobby Ingram to play on this 1989 album. After the 1989-90 tour. It was over, again.
Bobby Ingram then "ripped off" the name. Three members of the original doors, even have the class to bill themselves as: "The Doors of the 21st Century. Mr Ingram; take note.

I got to see Molly Hatchet in their "prime", Spring of 1979 at the Univ. of Miami. They played at the U of M courtyard. I had the best seat in the house- on top of the 10 meter board at the U of M pool which overlooked the courtyard. Danny Joe Brown was a great front man, perfect for the Molly Hatchet sound. Fall of the Peacemaker is one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
RIP Danny Joe

Eric of Off Wing Opinion asks:
Has Miracle knocked Slapshot out of the top spot for the greatest hockey movie of all time?
The comments are interesting and amusing, and personally, while I liked
Miracle a lot, it doesn't top
Slapshot.

The movies are so different, it's hard for me to say one is better than the other. I just watched the bonus material on the Miracle DVD last night, though, and seeing the footage of Herb Brooks talking to Kurt Russell and the crew and seeing the effort they put in to recruiting players to act the roles really made me appreciate the respect they had for the story. And that Olympics was a huge moment in my childhood. So while I think Slapshot is funnier, if I had to choose between only getting to keep one of the movies, I'd pick Miracle.
Of course, I know Slapshot by heart anyway...

"Miracle," while it is the greatest Herb Brooks movie of all time, still is not the greatest hockey movie of all time. After all, I didn't see Ross "Mad Dog" Madison in "Miracle" anywhere, did you?

Forsberg's Last Game?
Peter Forsberg suffered a concussion after being cross-checked into the boards during a game in the Swedish League a couple of nights ago.
It was Forsberg's first game back after missing six weeks with a broken hand. His father coaches the team, MoDo, and says this:
"He's had his share of concussions, I think it is enough now (to cause him to retire)"
The player who made the illegal hit was ejected from the game and has been suspended for the next two.

As an Avs fan, I'm saddened but not surprised. Of course, who knows when/if the Avs will ever play again, with or witout Forsberg.

Looking inward
Most everyone has heard of the SETI@home project, where you can download a screensaver that uses your PC's downtime to process data collected by the big radio telescopes pointed "out there" looking for life.
There is a similar effort to utilize PC's as a massively distributed platform to study protein folding.
What are proteins and why do they "fold"? Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out their biochemical function, they remarkably assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, remains a mystery. Moreover, perhaps not surprisingly, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious effects, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, and Parkinson's disease.

details here, and

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I'm that good kind of tired that comes from getting a lot accomplished during your day.
This morning I met a buddy for breakfast in a little diner down the interstate a ways. We caught up on what's going on with each other and then I headed home. The plan was to attend today's club rocket launch, but I never made it. Shame too, because it was a beautiful day.
Got home and decided to take care of a quick repair job on my truck. Twenty minutes later and a smidgen of epoxy and it looked that it was going to be good as new. Then my neighbor dropped by and asked about taking down that maple tree in my backyard. Well, of course I'm not going to head off for the day while he's doing me a favor, so we got going on that.
Something we saw right off was that the maple was bigger than either of us had realized. At the end of the day, we'd taken down every branch reachable with a fully extended 32' ladder, and there's a lot of tree left above that. We even managed to do it without dropping anything on a fence.
There's a nice pile of twiggy branches out in the common area that my son and I will be taking care of over the next week, and a fair pile of fresh cut maple logs to stack. They'll make nice fireplace and firepit fuel. We really opened up the yard with today's work (pictures to come), but the monster trunk and root system is still in the way.
We're tossing around the idea of taking down my back fence and using some tension ropes and come-alongs to just drop the rest in one swell foop. A couple of hours to set things up just right and fifteen minutes to actually bring the beast to earth. I'm also thinking about getting a tree company out here for an estimate, since we've done everything we can do safely and reasonably easy. The problem with that is that it wouldn't surprise me to get an estimate for a thousand dollars, and there's a lot of other home improvements I could do with that kind of money. Then again, I might just leave it for awhile and see how it's going to be. I'm not in any hurry now that the yard will get some reasonable sunlight.
Can you tell my mind is going a mile a minute? It's been a good day.

Fair is fair
The ladies have Valentine's Day, and are showered with roses and chocolate (you did shower someone sweet, right?). Well, a gentleman has come up with a brilliant equivalent for us guys. March 14th shall henceforth and forevermore be:
Steak and BJ Day
No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town; the name of the holiday explains it all, just a steak and a BJ. Thats it. Finally, this twin pair of Valentine's Day and Steak and Blowjob Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere try THAT much harder in February to ensure a memorable March 14th!
I'd say that I think this is a fine idea, but being a guy, that would be redundant.
Thanks to the guys at
The Ministry of Minor Perfidy for pointing this one out, and who've redecorated and returned refreshed and kicking butt. Mmmmm,
Caribou steak....

Ever had Caribou steak?It's awesome!A freind of mine's father went up North a few years ago and bagged one.
However,what is even better is Elk and especially the tenderloin.Straight from Colorado or Wyoming.Absolutly thrashes the hell out of beef(or anything else) any day.Best way to grill is to slice into small strips and do a few at a time.Eat as you go.

Another trivia question.Many people call tenderloin "sweetbread".It's not.Do you know what REAL sweetbread is?

Well I'm not gonna let y'all hang forever.What is refered to as "sweetbread" by "ol' timers" is actually the thyroid glands of a young lamb
The only place you'll find a recipe for it that i know of is right here in the Inn at Little Washington cookbook:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0679447369/103-4639702-8371852
This dish along with everything else about the Inn and it's owners make me barf.

I have a wallet in my back pocket and that's about it on a regular basis. i throw loose change in a jar somewhere because I can't stand it jingling when I walk.
From time to time I wall have the iPod and/or the PDA and/or cell phone in my pocket but I don't keep them there unless they are needed.
Nothing around the neck. I keep my magnetic lock opening security badge in my wallet.

Left front: money clip, loose change (including a Kennedy half, and Eisenhower dollar, and some mysterious Eastern European coin I found this past weekend).
Right front: wallet, keys.
Rear: Nothing. I don't like that "cancer on your ass" feeling I get when I stuff my wallet in my back pocket - I use a thin wallet to hold a few essential cards, and it's more secure in the front pocket.

Back right: nothing
Back left: nothing
(But hanging on my belt is a cell phone leather "wallet" with three more vari-sized multi-tools and a set of pocket hex sockets *heh*)
Unlike Cindy, I don't carry my glasses in a case. I wear them. It must be nice, Cindy... :-)

In the pockets, not a lot, I've a nifty money clip that also holds credit cards and my driver's license, that goes in the front pocket. Cell phone is clipped to the belt. Sony Clie in one front pocket, keys in the other with the money clip. Handkerchief in whichever pocket doesn't feel stuffed.

Chris Ledoux - RIP
His music career sputtered along until he was mentioned in a Garth Brooks song.
Chris LeDoux, a former world champion bareback rider who parlayed songs about the rodeo life into a successful country music career, died Wednesday from complications of liver cancer. He was 56.
He had a lot of great songs, but my absolute favorite was called
Five Dollar Fine:
Five Dollar Fine
We're a fun lovin' crowd, kinda rowdy and loud
Our jukebox won't play no sad songs
So don't come in here, and cry in your beer
'Cause we don't care 'bout who done who wrong
Chorus:
We've got a five dollar fine for whining
We'll tell you before you come in
If it ain't on your mind to have a good time
Ya'll come back and see us again
Well we don't really care about your clothes or your hair
This party is open to all
Yeah we like a good joke, and it's alright to smoke
We got just one rule on the wall
Repeat Chorus
Now there's too many fools makin too many rules
That's one thing you can't say about us
Cause we all get along when we sing the same song
There's just one thing that causes a fuss
Repeat Chorus
Adios amigo, you were never appreciated enough.

I try to stay fairly professional in the workplace, especially the more formal setting I'm in now. I'm also careful about my language around folks I don't know, because it's the polite thing to do. Lately I've noticed that my co-workers have used a few curse words in my presence. The comfort level must be going up.
They probably got a clue the other day when I was shouting at my computer, swearing up a blue streak, in German.

Not much more than some swearing and random words left.

I used to swear in French. Until someone popped up the head like a gopher over the cubby wall and told me pronunciation sucked.
In French.
Heh.

I generally use indirect pointers, shouting things like "The seven words you can't say on television" or "language that would make a sailor blush" rather than calling up the actual words.

A movie review you won't see here
Even I have standards. Admittedly low standards, but still...
Slaves of Love
A tribe of Amazon women use a magnetic force to pull down airplanes flying over their island. They enslave all the men aboard the planes and use them as their sex slaves.
I wonder where I can find a copy?

The things you learn
In my HTML class we're going over images, and the instructor told us that the "alt" attribute on the "image" tag was so that special browsers used by the visually impaired could read a description of what the image was since they couldn't actually see it. This falls under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act:
Section 508 requires that Federal agencies' electronic and information technology is accessible to people with disabilities. The Center for Information Technology Accommodation (CITA), in the U.S. General Services Administration's Office of Governmentwide Policy, has been charged with the task of educating Federal employees and building the infrastructure necessary to support Section 508 implementation.
So once again
Rocket Jones is on the cutting edge of social issues by posting things like
Porn for the Blind.
Other than that though, I'll probably just continue to use the "alt" attribute to attach sly little jokes to the images on this site. Having a conscience doesn't mean I have to be fanatical about it.

Star Cards - 3
Someone was kind enough to scan and post a whole heap of Players Cigarette cards. This particular set of 85 cards is of Actresses, and were released during the late 1930's (from clues like "her latest film was...").
I'll post one of these every once in a while, with a couple of simple links to IMDB.com or a bio if I can find one. You might be surpirsed at some of the familiar names you'll see. The category is "Star Cards" (over on the right column), and you can click there at any time to see all that I've posted. Hope you enjoy.
