Wow… I looked up the geographical info for this guy’s IP. I don’t know why I was expecting Bahrain or something. It’s from someone in Seattle, Washington. Could be the house next door for all I know. Well, a very nice and happily matched pair of men live next door—thank God we don’t live around any weirdos—so maybe down the street or something.
Anyway, if you’re over 18, interested in spending some time in the pokey till you’re about 40, and agree to not sue, here’s your answer—there’s only one step and it’s pretty sure fire: flunitrazepam.

I’m suggesting absolutely nothing about the beautiful and talented Natalia Lipkovskaya pictured here. I’ve just been carrying the clipping around for years so had it on hand to offer it as a minor example of what the human body can do.

I suppose you could tell a 15 year-old’s pancreas from that of an 18 year-old too. Asshole. Speaking of which. Here, take a look. You’ll never guess my age.

Here’s a partial rundown of ways to include stylesheets in Perl CGI.
Using CGI.pm’s start_html() to embed a style <link> in the page <head>.
print start_html(-title=>'Zen and the Art of CSS',
-style => { -src => '/mycss/yes.css',
-type => 'text/css',
-media => 'screen' },
);
Using CGI.pm’s head attribute of start_html() with many sheets in <link> tags, including an RSS link. Note the Link() function which is titlecased to avoid clashing with the perl built-in link.
I completely agree. She thought you could have free discourse where reason was the only guaranteed common denominator and that the highest purpose of human life was to be productive, non-violent, and happy. Think of all the damage we’ve been told that kind of thinking has done.
What a twisted fucking bitch. Good riddance.

You can thank the aliens who built the pyramids for this bit of super advanced, organic, 100% all natural medicine. It does work too. I doubt very well, but it works. It works because croc caca is acidic and human semen is basic. Essentially canceling each other out and resulting in a goo of smelling salts.
It’s worth noting that anything acidic would work, from lemon juice and vinegar to coffee and vomit. The reason crocodile scat turned up as the golden recipe is probably because of its sticktoittiveness, as it were. It stays put better than, say, a beer. Though as a responsible journalist I must point out that the container of the latter is drastically safer and even potentially more fun than the dispenser of the former.
And this seems like a good time to mention that sperm can maintain motility for up to 4 days after they get the heave ho. So, morning after crocodile feces can sometimes prove an efficacious prophylactic.

Blambot. I’m a fontographer too and I’ve always really liked this guy’s work.
The Bread Site?!? They asked nicely and are unwitting contributors so t’is only just.
Plan 8 from Doubter Space, the only news filter we read and the first site to recognize QueryLog’s massive importance to society and the future of mankind.
Titlecase—or title case—is the capitalization of all words but articles and prepositions.
Without a full grammar parser this isn’t possible to do perfectly because things like acronyms and punctuation interfere, however, the following code will almost always do the trick in English.
Sidebar: JavaScript is probably the wrong language to use for this because it’s transient. Your data should be corrected, not your presentation of your data.
First extend the String built-in object to do the titlecasing for you so it works natively on all string objects.
<script type="text/javascript">
// (c)GPL, apv
String.noLC = new Object
({the:1, a:1, an:1, and:1, or:1, but:1, aboard:1,
about:1, above:1, across:1, after:1, against:1,
along:1, amid:1, among:1, around:1, as:1, at:1,
before:1, behind:1, below:1, beneath:1, beside:1,
besides:1, between:1, beyond:1, but:1, by:1, 'for':1,
from:1, 'in':1, inside:1, into:1, like:1, minus:1,
near:1, of:1, off:1, on:1, onto:1, opposite:1,
outside:1, over:1, past:1, per:1, plus:1,
regarding:1, since:1, than:1, through:1, to:1,
toward:1, towards:1, under:1, underneath:1, unlike:1,
until:1, up:1, upon:1, versus:1, via:1, 'with':1,
within:1, without:1});
String.prototype.titleCase = function () {
var parts = this.split(' ');
if ( parts.length == 0 ) return '';
var fixed = new Array();
for ( var i in parts ) {
var fix = '';
if ( String.noLC[parts[i]] )
{
fix = parts[i].toLowerCase();
}
else if ( parts[i].match(/^([A-Z]\.)+$/i) )
{ // will mess up "i.e." and like
fix = parts[i].toUpperCase();
}
else if ( parts[i].match(/^[^aeiouy]+$/i) )
{ // voweless words are almost always acronyms
fix = parts[i].toUpperCase();
}
else
{
fix = parts[i].substr(0,1).toUpperCase() +
parts[i].substr(1,parts[i].length);
}
fixed.push(fix);
}
fixed[0] = fixed[0].substr(0,1).toUpperCase() +
fixed[0].substr(1,fixed[0].length);
return fixed.join(' ');
}
</script>
Once that’s loaded, the method can be called on any string.
<script type="text/javascript">
var title = 'this is badly cased in the u.s.a.';
alert( title.titleCase() );
</script>
You might also want to alter the first line to:
var parts = this.toLowerCase.split(' ');
Which will deal with things like, “STOP SHOUTING, JACKASS,” but which will also wreck things that are properly titled already and cannot be fixed programatically like “McDonald.”
Leaving aside the obvious joke about there being no meaning in those dusty sheaves to begin with, there isn’t any Biblical meaning to great blue herons because they’re a new world bird. So, like dinosaurs, the planets, microbes, electromagnetic radiation, etc, etc, etc, God and the various purveyors of his word had no idea they existed yet.
The altogether similar gray heron, ardea cinerea, is another story as its range does include most of the old world. Since the symbol of Christ from the chi to the rho became the fish, one supposes a gray heron might have ingested the host and perhaps even have been transubstantiated.
“Too little too late,” writes one Biblical scholar.

Politely but firmly. When he is sober and there is no big fight ongoing. In the morning but not early. With a full inventory on paper of what is his to take, be generous, so there is no discussion and he won’t have to be back for it later. With the help of a couple of female friends; male friends might start a real fight.

No. No. I don’t care what the graduate student teaching your 120 is saying. The older waiter’s sympathy for the old man prior to the revelation of sharing what “must be insomnia” is just not foreshadowing and even talking about it in a story this short and well-honed detracts from the power and the message. The message being: nada.
Quite to the contrary, the rest of the story is in stark contrast to the punchline. Dignity, cleanliness, nice fixtures, tables, and beautiful electric lights, still a novelty in the world, that cast shadows from the tree leaves around the café; make all night into summer’s day. Antidotes to the thing exposed.
Time for a transfer, my man. When you can’t follow the most honest, direct, and distilled writing—like Hemingway—and instead try to shoe-horn it into some fin de siècle literary slot, you have no business teaching.

This is the key to the photos that appear on the Sedition post: Adam Haley, Taos.
1. Barnaby and Adam. This was a photo shoot for our high school band, Autumn Moon. Cort and I were also on the pipe. It’s an aqueduct that takes the local acequia over NM State Road 64, I think. It’s 18 feet over the highway.
2. Adam and me. This was Zak’s birthday on the mesa in Los Colonias. Maybe 14th. Cropped out of the picture are David Cox, Zak Weisfeld, Jason Heyman, Jason Weisfeld, Francis Bartley, Chris and Mike Flaherty, Pablo Hopman, Noah Kaufman, and Jeff Yeoman. Forgive me guys if I got someone’s last name misspelled.
3. Adam hanging from a chain on a viga and Zak pretending to hold him up. Zak’s house.
4. The church (Will’s living room). Adam is playing keyboard. The other band members there: Barnaby, Cort, Marcus (Adam’s brother), and me.
5. Adam and Barnaby watching the eastern sky as the sun sets in the west. My house on Blueberry Hill. Northern New Mexico skies are like that somewhat often. I wish y’all would stay away though so maybe I should keep it to myself.
5. Adam windsurfing. Alberto Cattaneo was there too and got blown a mile or two off-shore, so to speak. We thought we’d killed our exchange student.
7. Adam and Will. I think this was the anti-prom party of 1985.
8. Adam at the Tennis Ranch pool. I think we were allowed to visit as non-members because my aunt “knew” the tennis pro or something.
9. Rio Grande at the bottom of the box and the start of the State Park run. Adam and Feilding (and maybe Chris F jumping from the bridge in the shadow).
10. Adam at sunset at my house. 1986.
This is the post on Sedition which the original query found. There is one more picture there too.
Mostly what I remember about Adam is he was the only close friend I’ve ever had who I never had a single fight with. In high school when I was sleeping 3 hours a night at home and couldn’t stand to be there in general he’d let me crash on his couch after school most afternoons.
I have a handful of other photos in black and white from the only time I hooked up with Adam after high school. He had formed a painters’ group with two other young men, Sasha Vom Dorp and Cedar Goebel. I wrote an article about them for the local news paper. It was very exciting. A time that one couldn’t help but have tremendous optimism for life and enthusiasm for participating. I wrote more and better poetry that year than I have in 23 years of writing verse.
I didn’t go back to New Mexico when Adam was sick. I didn’t think it would end up being serious. I didn’t go back when he was dying. Marcus said he wasn’t really recognizing people.
