Looking for Lenny Bruce

If anyone has Mask Man aka Thank you Mask Man, please let me know. I have been looking for it for a while to put on DVD. I found no legitimate seller -- only those selling a dupicated (rough) copy thrown onto DVD for $15 not including shipping.

The parties responsible for using fewer quotations have been sacked. Those responsible for sacking those people, have also been sacked.

the term, "Fathering"

is usually wrongly used. Too often people view fathers as those that contribute genetic material.

In my previous entry I mentioned -- insulted, Lost, for it's shortcomings. I read a blurb on Naveen Andrews "
'Lost' star admits fathering child while separated from Barbara Hershey". That is more urban vernacular. Lions sire cubs, often killing other cubs either his own or others to get the lioness into estris. That guy doesn't smell like my spermazoa [mauling of cub]. This concept of siring as many his-scented youth as possible is urban fathering.

If only America could wake up a bit and turn on the "mental gears". I could throw money at a situation or I could involve myself in it and help it. Siring and then paying some money to the "mother" for the child (ren) is much like throwing money at a so-called problem. Invest yourself in it -- be the solution -- or the father, bringing to it your values, your input, your goals to make life what it should be.

Male lions in a pride generally don't hunt (not providers), take their share first, and (aforementioned) with cubs. They serve a protective role at times, but are generally not integral to the life of the pride. I was very fortunate in having a father who raised me. I am also from a family of non-divorced parents. This didn't prevent me from divorcing, but I "sired" no children and had I done so -- a difficult life they would have had no matter how much effort I put forth -- save being granted full and sole custody. Even that would have had its consequences.

Think, before you sire. A pack of your gene-filled people shouldn't fill you with pride if you have done nothing to bring them to be who they could be -- raising and fathering.

Lost in Complaining

I have a limited interest in the show, Lost. I asked a friend about it to find out that they don't have a new episode yet -- 4 weeks, no new show. Gosh! That's gotta be hard, working there in uncomfortable Hawaii with nothing to do. I can see why it would be difficult to get the cast back to Hawaii to do more shooting.
"Hey, no! I'm staying here in Flint, Michigan, pushing out snow, thanks. Later this week I'm going to ultra-rural Saskatewan* and start building a house."

"Get on with it!" -- M Python
"Of course, I could be wrong you know." -- Bugs, WB
"Wrong? Wrong?! You ain't never been right!" -- Platoon

Anyway. I got this idea for a show about a mysterious torpical island. On it there are polar bears, company controlled / made sharks, hidden research bunkers, supposedly-derranged inhabitants, grayish invisibeats. There are hints to other mysteries and the Pennsylvania-sized island can't be found by any known technological means.

Okay... sounds good. What do you have so far. I have two scenes with a bear, four scenes with the invisibeast, 4 seconds of the shark.

What else?

I have great stories about people on the island, before they were there, including stories about characters of the 40 some that I just kill off anyway.

ummm ... okay. Anything else?

They now play golf on the untamed and dangerous island and heroin is available.

Uh, okay. So, [a sourness in his face, he directs attention to another person at the table], you had a new version of Three's Company in mind?

Kari Byron -- again

What I could find was that she is a sculpter -- apparently a good (or renown) one from Frisco and a vegetarian. So far, that's not a lot of info.

Education is a great resource for humor. Yesterday I was asked if they could do, individual work together. My answer was no, but I was reminded of, "Let's be independant together". Thanks Herbie!

watching TV

I'm not known for my love of movies or TV. I haven't liked sit-coms in a llllllloooooooooonnnnnnnnnnggggggg time. That being the case, I sometimes find a show that I do like. I used to like Discovery Channel, until it and it's compadre's: History, TLC, Animal Planet, etc. decided that everyone would love to have a program they are watching blocked out -- sometimes up to 25% by USELESS animations of their other shows. I thought the corner label on the programs were bad -- thanks T Turner for starting that! Coupled with that are the commercial break so long that I often change the channel, forgetting that I was once watching Discovery or whatever. My criping aside.

I got to see Mythbusters, which can be entertaining. Sometimes it is more like idea ADHD -- are you planning on completing any ideas here? I like the ideas. I have become captivated by Kari Byron, about whom little information seems available.

She seems practical, comical and clever. When I saw her smile, that's what captured my attention. [drone on here concerning interest]

The same channel that does this includes a show with Jessie James something, who contributes to building various one-time things. I couldn't bear to watch the show anymore, as his personality is grating and his happy recalling of childhood violence towards others including a neighbor boy whom he claimed to have happily choked (implying to a painful degree). This guy has a son. I would hestitate to call him a father as that is a person who raises their child to be an adult capable of existing in the world -- hopefully, sans prison/jail.

What's another really bad idea from this group ... Growing Uo Gotti. Hey! Let's focus on a family whose criminal activity, either theirs or other family memebers who have a lot of money. Let's help those watching become complacent with the mafia and criminals. Yes! Let's copy HBO with their ideas of Sopranos and OZ with violence, evil, raping, killing, drugs, abuse (of many forms). Now that's entertainment. I guess if Eninem is still popular with songs of putting GHB into drinks to rape women and his lyrics stating his desire for a woman to do whatever, whenever, in perpetuity -- these will be the standard.

Not to me.

Returning to Mythbusters ... violence is either to Buster -- a disintigrating dummy with variable insturment chasis, Black Adder, or to the two would-be investigators who welcome their own doom on some occasions.

Fargen Bastages!

[please note that some of the bantering gets windy and verb tenses do not conform to standard English]

A couple of weeks ago I heard that phrase. It's from a movie either you saw or didn't see. I doubt that you would forget some of the memorable lines from Johnny Dangerously. That being the case, let me explain my mild dis-satisfaction.
Who are the fargen bastages? They are the winds that direct your kite to the ground, thirty people at the gas station who all enter the store buying cigarettes and chatting with people rather than move their cars, people calling not knowing who you are, people who drive SUVs who couldn't park a paper airplane in a parking spot much less their wide vehicle like their wide butts. Also, I dispise notices that you'll get more notices (much like someone calling to let you know that they are going to call).

Are these people antagonists or speed bumps? Perhaps they are neither, but actors who are unaware that their are others in the play. They are so focussed on completing their goals that all others be damned! I see this at all ages and in most places. How many times have you appraoched a door, following someone within 8 feet and yet they close the door behind them. Are they truly that unaware that there is some one behind them?

Emoticons: when you really, really, really can't just type a nice word or phrase. Is that wasteful or laziness? I think both. It is one thing to use it in messaging when you are typing slower to several people than you could possibly talk to them, but in letters that you are already typing? What's the point?

I find anger venting is helpful. I like to play games where I can perpetrate fictional violence, especially with guns. I don't and won't own a gun, but it's great relief to exterminate a bad egg on a game. There are a few games that are designed for track motion and you hit "evil men". Concluding one game, I gave stats on targets hit and shots fired. The disperarity prompted, "Are you angry?" I wasn't a poor shot, but rather emptied at least one clip or series of six shots into each target when possible. 80%+ were face / head shots. Giving six shots in the head before the target falls is impossible, so the fictional part is great.
