Hallo, Lane, et al.:
I really can't comment on your bike statistics, so I'll use this space to relate parts of the mopst scathing review of a musical performance that I have probably ever read:
It is by Philippa Kiraly, as the regular P-I music critic, R.M. Campbell, passed, pürobably to avoid having to comment on the disaster (SSO mangeling Mahler's 8th:
"Music Directore Gerard Schwarz had problems all the way through controling the disparate elements ... ." "Different sections often were not well synchronized." (And worst of all:) "Balance also was a problem. ... It felt more like an assault on the ears than a musical experience."
So, the truth finally is coming out on/of Benaroya Hall!!
Tschüß,
Anonomann

Just about one more trip, Sir Savant, and you will be in the 1,000 mile club. What a gas that will be. What book(s) did you read at during the bad weather days on your vacation, and what kind of cookies? Something besides peanut butter we hope.

What was your response to the overwhelming comment surge during your absence? It always amazes me as to the volume and dirth of material that shows up when you leave the blog gate open. Those gangster cronies of yours do kind of creep me out. Nice to hear from all those poets though.

The truth about the JFK murder written by the doctor who tried (or pretended to) save the prez's life.

Oreos, Mint filled and original.
Some kind of off brand coconut.

I think I've gotten through to Vito that I'm all paid up and I don't need to borrow any more, thank you very much.
Hopefully this will be the end of my dealings with these guys.
I do wonder what was in the package.
But I'm real glad I don't know.

Speaking of loan shark fantasies,
What do you think of Bill Murrays performance in "Mad Dog and (Uma Thurmans role)"?

I thought he did was a great job.

Interesting, the Times (I think it was) had a glowing revue. It was all perfect accordion to them.
But what do I care? Mahler sucks anyway.
Composition is more than spewing your little fantasies into a pot.
There is such a thing as editing
Gussie claimed to have written only nine symphonies when, in reality it was more like twenty.
He just crammed them all together.

You want your ears assaulted, you have to listen to the crap I write.

Yes, Bill Murray as Milo, the mobster that would rather have been a stand up comic, in MAD DOG AND GLORY (1993), was really excellent, showing he has some menance in him, not just sadness and pathos and dark humor. Robert De Niro as the cop (police photographer) who would have rather been an artist, was excellent as Mad Dog. Uma Thurman was "attractive" as Glory. I liked David Caruso in it too, in a well done cameo. Glad to hear that you got your shit together regarding Vito, and maybe Keth knows what was in the package.

it is good to know that "Mahler sucks anyway." We three,you and I and Anonomann do not seem to be shy with our extended opinions on things; and it does make for spirited banter here in Blogworld.
I am still smarting by the sting of the Anonymous tongue calling the body of my work, my poetic spirit, "drivel"...but hey, that's just blood under the bridge..enit? And hey, it is good to see you perusing FFTR,and thanks again for posting EQUUS AETHEREUS.

That would be "menace" in Murray. I really do not know what the hell "menance" is.

It's an after shave lotion, isn't it?

After shave lotion, yeah, probably. It will be right there on the bottom shelf next to the old 007 after shave in the black bottle, and those six packs of Billy Beer, enit?
