And the word of the day is: LEXIPHANIC!

Lexiphanic: Using, or interlarded* with, pretentious words; bombastic; as, a lexiphanic writer or speaker; lexiphanic writing. :-\
-
* Interlard: to diversify by adding or interjecting something unique, striking, or contrasting (usually fol. by with: to interlard one's speech with oaths.

Well, I'm about to fall asleep. 8) I'm going to bed. Good night, all! And I'm also curious to see how long cable (TV and Internet) lasts here before it's turned off. ::) If it's still on in the morning (or even later), I shouldn't be paying for it. I called and told Comcast that I'm moving. And since I really am, I really don't need it in two houses, and I certainly don't want to pay for it. ;)

And the word of the day is: LEXIPHANIC!

[quote author=George
I'll put Ebonie up there with food, water and the litter box, where she can stay and not be disturbed. The we can move the rest of the stuff. At least, that's the plan.
I have the same concerns, George, and I will be moving 4 cats! My plan is very similar to yours; I think we will try to move everything but the bedroom furniture and do that last, and have everything pretty much in place before we bring them to the new house so they'll feel at home and so they have less chances to run out if we're moving something in. (Two are shelter cats and have never lived outdoors.)

Speaking of cats, something awful happened at work yesterday. Some woman released her cat on the property at the post house where I usually work. A friend who works there who is a major cat lover caught her right after she had done this and confronted her. The cat abandoner said she "didn't realize that this property belonged to anyone"--like what she was doing would have been OK if it wasn't owned! This cat had been through a fight and had a lot of shaved spots where it had been stitched up and the woman's explanation was that she "couldn't afford" the cat anymore. My friend asked her why she didn't take it to a shelter and she said that a shelter would kill the cat! (Never mind that there are several no-kill shelters in town---that's where I got my two black and whites.)
There are already 3 feral cats that we take care of at this place, they are all fixed and we feed them. So we can't even put food out for "Stitch" because the other cats wouldn't let her near it and might attack her. She might even have feline hepatitis or something else she could give the post house cats...they're disease free and get vaccinations.
When I got to work people were down around the creek trying to catch the little black cat but the terrain was so steep that it was hard to move around much less catch a cat. And now it's very cold here at night, so this woman who wanted to "save" the cat by releasing it probably gave her a death sentence. Argh. OK...I beat BK to the rant but I had to vent to the cat lovers here!

DR Der B, I managed to light the pilot light without blowing up the house, so one of the rooms here is warm now. The cats are REALLY happy! (They fight over who gets to press themselves against the big gas spaceheater.) I liked your "little match girl" picture!

Good morning, all! My Netscape email has died again, and my Mac man will be over on Monday afternoon to give this turkey a tune-up.
Last night, I had a very strange dream that made perfect sense during the course of it, but all I remember now are these parts of it:
I was working on a production of Britten's opera ALBERT HERRING and Ron Raines was in it
I gave a CD of something to my goddaughter Charlotte
I seemed to be at a summer theatre like Goodspeed
I was working at a public library and there were no customers so it was quite boring till I went to the third floor, where the reading room was believed to be haunted and people saw "things" peripherally
The frightening room was 313 and no one went into it aone
Someone was found dead
I was looking for reviews of a community theatre production and I believe DR Ginny was helping me
As the dream was turning quite frightening, I woke up
Knock knock
Who's there?

Sam and Janet who?

I love KINGS ROW - book more than movie - but the movie with about the same reservations as MR BK....Betty Field is also quite good. There was a sequel written, but it was never made into a movie.
And of course both DR MBARNUM and I have extolled the virtues of STORM WARNING for many years....again Ginger is a bit old to be playing a model...but then again...maybe they just say "model"...and how can you go wrong with Doris Day AND Steve Cochran?

(Two are shelter cats and have never lived outdoors.)
When I moved I had an overlap in owning both houses. I also had to buy a new bed, so what i did was get my bedroom all set up except for a couple pieces of furniture, and then set the cats set up in my bedroom in the new house with a bed to hide under, their toys, some blankets with their scent on them, their litter and food and shut the door tightly.
Then we moved everything from the old house to the new house and were able to leave doors open etc to make the move easier without disturbing the cats. Once the movers were gone and I could be sure all exit doors were closed, I let them roam the house at their own speed.

Saturday morning greetings!
...I was looking for reviews of a community theatre production and I believe DR Ginny was helping me
As the dream was turning quite frightening, I woke up...
...that must have been what I was running from in my dream - I got turned around on the NYC subway, then took a bus, and ended up getting a cell phone call from our friends Doug & Jon, wondering where I was - then I woke up.
That dream was in the midst of sleeping almost around the clock. I have not fully recovered from the glorious week in New York - had to work a full, 5-day week before getting this 3-day weekend to relax.

That sounds awful. I don't understand why people don't take their cats to shelters... they don't want to fill out a form? they don't have 30 minutes? they feel ashamed? Abandoning them is so much worse.

Note to George, who posted last night:
The only thing I'm really worried about is my cat, Ebonie. She's not one to run away, she usually hides under my bed, but it's a pretty tramatic event to move.
I trust the dear has a collar and tag with your phone number. Cats are notorious territorial (unlike dogs who are family (pack) oriented. Cats who have never roamed before will often "disappear" when rlocated.

Well, if you do a search on google for "pig with a wooden leg joke" you will get 483,000 results. I'm starting to think it's like a clean version of "The Aristocats", where everyone has their own version of the joke. I just grabbed a short version...they all end with basically the same punch line. Kind of a "shaggy pig story".
The Joke:
Farmer Jones got out of his car and while heading for his friend's door, noticed a pig with a wooden leg. His curiosity roused, he asked, "Fred, how'd that pig get him a wooden leg?"
"Well, Michael, that's a mighty special pig! A while back a wild boar attacked me while I was walking in the woods. That pig there came a runnin', went after that boar and chased him away. Saved my life!"
"And the boar tore up his leg?"
"No he was fine after that. But a bit later we had that fire. Started in the shed up against the barn. Well, that ole pig started squealin' like he was stuck, woke us up, and 'fore we got out here, the darn thing had herded the other animals out of the barn and saved 'em all!"
"So that's when he hurt his leg, huh, Fred?"
"No, Michael. He was a might winded, though. When my tractor hit a rock and rolled down the hill into the pond I was knocked clean out. When I came to, that pig had dove into the pond and dragged me out 'fore I drownded. Sure did save my life."
"And that was when he hurt his leg?"
"Oh no, he was fine. Cleaned him up, too."
"OK, Fred. So just tell me. How did he get the wooden leg?"
"Well", the farmer tells him, "A good pig like that, you don't want to eat him all at once!"

"Question:How do you tell and a young man from an old man in the dark? Answer: It's hard!"
That day at a work luncheon, the Boss's secretary said, "I heard a cute Joke: "How do you tell a young man from an old man in the dark?....It's difficult!" Well, those of us who had been at the coffee break started howling with laughter. The boss, who had not been at the break, looked stoically at his secretary and said "I don't get it". The secretary, looking at the howling crowd, answered, "Well, they all think it's funny".

I could not agree with you more with your comments Edi. During the spring after college kids move out they tend to abandon their pets after 9 months of apartment living if they are not going to remain in the area. It is amazing! The library attracts an incredible number of strays in the spring. We rescue at least 8 to 10 cats a year and several dogs and one snake. They did not want their boa constrictor anymore and they threw it out.

Good Afternoon!
I'm back on land...
So...
Disembarking from the ship this morning was easy. The lines at the airport weren't too bad. The flight back was OK - it got a bit rough as we were coming in for the landing at DCA. My car started up fine, and I've already unpacked my bags.
And now... Time to catch up on... both here on HHW and elsewhere... So...

OH!!!
"Lost Camera Vibes" - or maybe that should be "Found Camera Vibes" - would be much appreciated. I somehow lost track of my digital camera last night between the final two functions. I thought I had left it on the piano... Then I thought I had left it on the bar... Hmm... Maybe I left it in the internet cafe... Or... In any case... I lost my camera. Which also means I lost the pictures I took during my trip. However, since everyone else in my party was taking pics... and since I brought my card reader so that they could burn CDs of their pics on board... I do pics to be posted (eventually). But I really would like to have my camera back. I'm hoping it gets turned into the Purser's Desk over the next few days... So...
OK... I'm rambling...
*I did have a WONDERFUL time, however. So wonderful, in fact, that the loss of my camera has been more of an inconvenience than anything else.
OK.. Once again, back to real life for a bit...

My brother lives in a touristy area in NC where a lot of people go for the summer. When vacation is over, a lot of them just leave their dogs! He has 6 dogs, which were all abandoned this way. That's how we ended up with our third cat. She was a stray that adopted him, but wouldn't stand a chance with the 6 dogs, so we took her on. (I would have been happy just sticking to 2, but I felt somehow obligated to take her.)
People who treat their pets this way should not be allowed to breed, IMHO.

BEEN THERE. DONE THAT!
Notes on the East Side aircraft accident:
I was in the front seat piloting a similar single engine plane (the instructor was in the rear seat). The instructor was unhappy with my left turns which were nice, easy, sweeping arcs."No, dammit, you need to turn the plane tighter, we don’t own all the sky!". So I tried again, a little tighter. "Still too wide, he yelled. Don't be such a wimp! Throw that stick over hard. You can't break the plane!" (see note)
Well, nobody calls me a wimp! So hard over I pulled the stick, and started into a really tight turn. Suddenly we started rolling over as a voice from the rear kept muttering "get your nose up, get your nose up!" Suddenly the horizon indicator was turning in circles and all I could see was sky, grass, sky, grass, sky, grass - over and over. The speed indicator was climbing, the altimeter dropping, and everything on both sides was getting grayer and greyer…I discovered the Graveyard Spin!
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/17/Gravespin.jpg/300px-Gravespin.jpg)
(Because the nose had fallen off, the control surface on the wings started having a different effect - instead of turning the plane to the left, they were just tightening the now nose-down spiral. Since we were headed straight down, my attempts to recover by pulling back on the stick just made matters worse - we didn't pull up, we just spun faster! Finally a voice from the rear said -
"Let Go, I've Got It, Let Go, I've Got It." So, I let go - I'm not that possessive. Slowly the pilot recovered from the spin, which left us just diving straight down, and then tried to regain altitude. We had started at 1800 feet - we leveled off at a bit over 100 feet (almost jumping distance.) We had attained a downward motion of over 240kts (max speed for the plane is supposed to be 180 knots). We had pulled over 3gs - max allowed stress on the plane was 2.4. (Inspection on landing indicated that almost all of the rivets holding the skin on the plane had popped and the plane was a total loss.)
The delay in recovering from this spin is because my sudden turn and precipitous nose-down caused rapid acceleration and the pilot had momentarily blacked out in the rear seat (my high levels of adrenalin kept me conscious).
Now our friends going down the East river had to make a sharp turn to the left to return the way they had come; the inexperienced pilot might not have know the tricks of recovering from the spin, and the building simply got in the way (an observer noted that the plane seemed to be doing acrobatics), and the plane did not hit nose first, but rather smacked into the wall belly-first.
der Brucer
Note: Apparently the pilot had not heard about my previous days experience which involved totaling-out a T28 by crashing into an aircraft carrier - but that's another story.)

Well, I'm about to fall asleep. 8) I'm going to bed. Good night, all! And I'm also curious to see how long cable (TV and Internet) lasts here before it's turned off. ::) If it's still on in the morning (or even later), I shouldn't be paying for it. I called and told Comcast that I'm moving. And since I really am, I really don't need it in two houses, and I certainly don't want to pay for it. ;)
Comcast will usually let the service overlap with no extra charge to you, especially if you are moving on a weekend. They may even wait until Monday morning to turn off the old service.

Heigh Ho, the glamorous life - DH Richard and I are off to Sam's Club, where we must stock up on household paper goods and such. Back later, in time for the 8pm EDT Michigan/Penn State kick-off!

I took a nap and am still sleepy...but now must get to my Bollywood movie of the weekend:
TARZAN COMES TO DELHI (1965) starring Dara Singh, Mumtaz, Helen, and Bhaghwan.

Hmmmm...Tarzan doesn't seem quite as, shall we say, well fed, in the actual movie.

I could not agree with you more with your comments Edi. During the spring after college kids move out they tend to abandon their pets after 9 months of apartment living if they are not going to remain in the area. It is amazing! The library attracts an incredible number of strays in the spring. We rescue at least 8 to 10 cats a year and several dogs and one snake. They did not want their boa constrictor anymore and they threw it out.
Either that, or it ate them!

Warmer outside than in my house, so I opened some widows in let in the "warm" air. Another chilly night forecast for us. Frost even.

The Courts show was fascinating - not one person I was really even interested in gawking at, even though the lineup sounded interesting. Chubby Checker looked embalmed, that much I'll say. Stephanie Powers looked fine, Barbara Parkins looked blowsy. The shocker for me was the cuter than cute Miss Kimberly Beck, who I think I worked with in the 70s - she was a doll. Now she's a very heavy doll.
While the celeb portion in recent shows has, for me, not been that hot, the dealer part of the shows has gotten better, so I was able to do a little tradin' today and got some really fun stuff. One LP I got will make me the envy of everyone here - I'll see if I can scan the cover - it's called Love Is A Drag. The cover is a guy in a smoke-filled bar - in the distance, through the smoke you can see - another guy. The songs are all songs with lyrics that are normally sung by women - but on this album a "daring" male vocalist (unnamed) sings them without altering the lyric - My Man, The Boy Next Door, The Man I Love - well, I think you get the idea. My favorite thing on the back of the album is the need to define "drag" as in "bad scene" "hopeless", etc.

I spent considerable time programming more of the buttons on my universal remote. I'm excited to think I can put those other remotes in storage and just have the one by my side for operation of equipment. And this one only cost $50. I've seen the ones that are over $200 that you look up to the USB port of your computer and download programmable codes oiver the net, but this one has a learn feature in which you have the universal remote an inch away from the retore you want it to learn from, and you hit a "learn" button so that it will memorize the codes on the old remote one at a time that you want it to remember. Took a little time, but if it works like it says, I really will be able to put the other remotes away.

I was also able to watch three more GREY'S ANATOMY episodes including the one where Meredith first goes to Derek's trailer/home. I had only seen one of these three episodes before.
I have one more episode in the first season set, and I'll be completely "in the know" about GREY'S ANATOMY.
-
Still have unsubstantiated plans for tonight to go to a friend's house for a movie. If that doesn't happen, I'll watch MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA, I guess, so I can get it off the DVR. (It's long and takes up valuable recording space.)
THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, being on DVD, can wait for another time.
I'm planning on watching ENCHANTED APRIL tomorrow afternoon.

Here I am in "Medium" mode again. . . .
As I predicted, UGLY BETTY has become the next new series renewed for the entire season by a network. That gives each of the big three one new show that they've greenlit for the rest of the season:
NBC - HEROES
CBS - JERICHO
ABC - UGLY BETTY
Since I'm guessing, I'll predict BROTHERS & SISTERS will be the next one to be greenlit.

The opening lines of today's notes remind me of a favorite Randy Newman song: I'm Dead (But I Don't Know It) ---about rock and rollers who are past their prime but still performing.
I have nothing left to say
But I'm gonna say it anyway
When he performs this in concert, he invites the audience to sing along on the chorus---"You're dead! You're dead"! and then admonishes them: "Don't be so enthusiasic!"

Body hair (with the exception of underarm and leg) is all the rage to get rid of and frankly, if I may be so bold, I HATE that trend in women and men both. You see all these guys with their shaved chests and they DENY having done so. And women - don't get me started on women - the ones who do what they do suggest that their boyfriends love it, and I suggest that their boyfriends have some sort of pre-pubescent urges. Well, there, you see, I've started to rant before I was even supposed to start to rant. One former young friend of mine hates body hair so much she waxes not only every inch of her legs and nether regions, but her ARMS, too.

I'll be going to the Courts show tomorrow with our very own Adriana Patti and Nick Redman. I assure you that two of us will have chest hair.

A plane is about to crash. There are 5 passengers on board but only 4 parachutes.
The first passenger says, "I am Ronaldo, the best football player in the world. The football world needs me, and I cannot die on my fans." He grabs the first parachute and jumps out of the plane.
The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, says, "I am the wife of a former president of the United States and a senator of New York." She grabs a parachute andjumps out of the plane.
The third passenger, George W. Bush, says, "I am the president of the United States. I have a huge responsibilities in the world. Besides I am the smartest president in the history of my contry, and I cannot win ther War on Terror by dying in a plane crash." He grabs a pack and jumps off the plane.
The fourth passenger, the Pope, says to the fifth passenger, a young schoolboy, "I am old. I have lived my life as a good person and so I shall leave the last parachute to you; you have the rest of your life ahead of you."
And the little boy says, "Don't fret, old man. There is a parachute for each of us. The smartest president of America took my schoolbag."

It occured to me earlier today...
Three years ago, Bonnie and Buster were convincing der Brucer and myself that they should join us in our move east.
Three years ago, der Brucer was repeatedly saying "There's no way we're travelling cross-country with five dogs in the car!"
Bonnie and Buster wagged their tails, knowing better.

BK, you know what I think of STs. I shaving all that body hair must be awfully time-consuming. I have director friend who shaves his head and he says he does it three times a week. I'm lucky if I get a haircut once every three months

Sorry, Elmore, but the joke doesn't work.

Have you seen the scene in "The 40 Year Old Virgin", where Steven Carell has his chest waxed? I think you may see a lot less waxing going on in the future because of this scene. Thank you, Mr. Carell!
-
Actually, a lot of guys not only shave there chest hair, but their leg, armpits, and arms! I do not understand this strange behavior.
I prefer my men hairy, so maybe that is just me, but you do see a LOT of guys at the gym with no body hair what-so-ever.

Here's the final picture. The "cat art" is by a favorite artist of mine who I've been collecting over the last several years. She appears at various bay area art and wine festivals. I purchased this picture in August when I went home briefly before starting my new job and told her that I was going to be working as a child therapist and wanted something colorful for my office. She told me that she used to be an art therapist and that her husband was a marriage, family, and children counselor. Cool, huh?

Comcast will usually let the service overlap with no extra charge to you, especially if you are moving on a weekend. They may even wait until Monday morning to turn off the old service.
That's probably the case because I still have cable in my old house (where I am right now). We moved the recliner and love seat into my upstairs (middle floor) TV room, and into my living room downstairs, we moved my piano (which is the heaviest of anything that I have), the buffet that my sister is giving me and the chair and a half that my co-worker gave me.
The only big things left are a couch, my kitchen table (it's from Ikea and quite light and easy to move) and my bed and dressers for my bedroom. Then, it's all the small stuff, which I can pretty much move by myself over the next week.
-
Well, I guess people do whatever they want with their body hair, as long as they don't force on others what they do to themselves! Just like cigarette smoking!
Polluted hair and polluted air! It's a choice!
Live and let live! Ah!

Re the American heroes calendar - Does no one believe in chest hair these days?
Ain't it the truth! I find the overly groomed, plucked, and shaved all over men NOT to my liking, that's for sure.

I had a full evening of viewing. I began with the last episode of GREY'S ANATOMY - Season 1. I had seen it before, the one where we first meet Addison Shepherd, and George learns of his venereal disease. Of course, the second the episode was over, I wanted to put Season 2 back into the player and watch it all over again. I resisted the temptation, but I did think seriously about doing that.

Earlier today, I was speaking with a dear friend about the problems I had with the audio of THE LITTLE MERMAID DVD last night. He had the disc but hadn't played it yet. When we were talking, he took it out, played it, and had no sound problems whatsoever.
This made me wonder, of course, if I had simply gotten a defective disc. So, I took mine back out, rubbed off both surfaces, and put the DVD in a different player. Lo and behold, there were no sound problems at all like I had experienced last night. It played perfectly and beautifully.
So, some sort of static electricity or something must have built up in my other player last night to cuase the disc to malfunction like that. It certainly played just fine tonight. I didn't take the time to try it again in the DVD player I used last night, but I will do that tomorrow to see if the problems are gone completely or if there is a problem simply with the DVD and one specific player.
-
After doing that test, I put in the DVD of THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN. Still love this film very much. Univeral's transfer is somewhat grainier than I was expecting, and there was some slight print damage at one point in the presentation, but overall it was sharp (too sharp in some places, of course, where the matte work becomes obvious), and since it's a widescreen enhanced transfer, I can't complainm too much about the minor problems with the print they used.
-
I finished the evening with MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA. I never read the book, so I have no idea how faithful the film was to the source material. It's a beautifully shot and scored film, everyone seems well cast and doing just fine with their roles. I just didn't find myself completely involved. I kept checking my clock to see how much of the film was left to show (always a sign I'm not wrapped up in the plot).
So, lovely but less than engrossing for me.
-
Tomorrow will be the day for ENCHANTED APRIL. I'm really looking forward to seeing this for the first time.

I like men with chest hair....not so found of hairy backs, but removing all hair is more disgusting than back hair

Today I used my hedge clippers and trimmed bushes, cut out all sorts of stuff growing where it shouldn't and then put up plastic around all the windows on the gazebo. My hands and forearms are so sore it was hard to clap at the symphony tonight

And why did Donny Osmond bother to shave his chest for the video of JOSEPH, when he had spent several years touring America and Canada with his chest hair exposed?

Wonderful typo on another website, in response to an admittedly off-the-wall assessment of part of the plot of GREY GARDENS. The person responding said:

Tonight was our Sacco and Vanzetti concert up in NJ ( the screening was last night and had a great turnout, including one gentleman who protested at the prison when he was 10, and the
head of the Solidarity Singers, who sing "The Internationale" probably more than anyone in America. Our composer played some of the music he wrote for the film, but since he multi-tracked it, he had to teach it to some other musicians so they could perform it. My partner called me so that I could experience some of it vicariously by phone.
Then I went to a wrap party for a film I didn't work on, but I went to represent Greg and the crew are all old friends anyway. One of the actors was a voice for S&V and another project I just finished. This film has not gone in to the editing process and I've been trying to keep my distance.
But what I really wanted to do was to stay home in my comfy clothes with Johnny Mercer. I just put all of the interviews into "the blender" and am ready to push the puree button. I didn't know too much about the man before starting this, but now I am really in awe. And I never knew he was such a good singer!
-
I really don't want to think about Donny Osmond's chest at all. Hair or no hair.
-
But Donny looked incredible shirtless in MULAN. Of course, that was eight years ago, and he played the singing voice of an animated character, but still....very hot.

To my disappointment the hairless look has even reached Bollywood...one of my favorite actors, Akshay Kumar, has taken to shaving his formerly very, very, very thick, black chest hair.

Oh, speaking of B&TB, one of the guys at the wrap party played the candleabra on Broadway. Lumiere, I think was his character's name? Anyway, the actor is David de Vries and he's from here. When I'd work in NY I used to get a kick out of passing the theatre every day and seeing his picture in the window dressed as a big candleabra. I was really surprised that he moved back to Atlanta after being on Broadway. He plays Nicola Tesla, one of the main characters in the film. Very nice guy and a cutie.

So, we've got my new toy up and working - an ION USB turntable - got it via Skymall - very inexpensive and in the nick o' time since my turntable is completely shot. This thing plugs directly into your computer. Vinnie came over and set up the software, figured out how to use it, we did a little cheat sheet for me, and I did my first LP this evening, perfectly, I might add. It's a really nice turntable, too, and the CD I made sounds grand. The software allows you to have dead silence between the LP tracks so you don't get that awful noise, and you record one side of an LP on one long track, click pause, then record the other side, still on one long track. Then you smooth out and silence the between tracks, then you put in your track IDs (very simple), then you export all the separate tracks as wav files to your desktop (literally one click), and then you drag those into an iTunes playlist and you're done. I LOVE it.

So, we've got my new toy up and working - an ION USB turntable - got it via Skymall - very inexpensive and in the nick o' time since my turntable is completely shot.
I've been trying to figure out how to transfer some of my albums, since they will never be released on CD. (Old calypso stuff, etc.)
I have a fine turntable but this sounds much easier. How much was it?

Actually, a lot of guys not only shave there chest hair, but their leg, armpits, and arms! I do not understand this strange behavior.
You left out a criticial word phrase: "et cetera" - as in..." legs, armpits, and arms, et cetera... "
And trust me, they don't all shave themselves!

I wonder - do they make wax strips for nostril hairs?
-
Soon he won't have to shave his head either!
oooh... I'm so mean!!
Yes, you're mean...and you make me laugh!
I've always been attracted to men who are losing it...in the hair department anyway (must have been my early fondness for the Smothers Brothers/Peter Paul and Mary) so that wouldn't stop me.
So there, Frenchy!

Today I used my hedge clippers and trimmed bushes...
OUCH!

People who treat their pets this way should not be allowed to breed, IMHO.
I often wonder what kind of parents they are. It really sickens me when I see animals thrown away like this. Granted there are situations where a person has to give up a pet due to financial or life issues but there are avenues to address the matter than throwing the animal away.

Well, we'll have our community leaders set an example:
School Principal Resigns After Shooting Orphaned Kittens (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,220917,00.html)
Saturday , October 14, 2006
INDUS, Minnesota — A school principal has resigned and could face felony firearm charges after he shot and killed two orphaned kittens on school property last month.
Wade Pilloud, who resigned as principal of the Indus school, 40 miles west of International Falls, said he shot the kittens to spare them from starving to death after their mother was killed in an animal trap.
Pilloud said the shooting, which occurred on school grounds, endangered no one.
...
The incident happened Sept. 21, and several students still on the grounds for after-school activities heard the shots. The school has students from kindergarten to 12th grade — about ages 5 through 18.
"There were parents who felt, apparently some rather strongly, that there were concerns about the safety of their children," said Joseph Flynn, an attorney for the South Koochiching/Rainy River School District. "The district's position is that safety was not compromised."
John Mastin, acting sheriff in Koochiching County, said Pilloud could be charged with felony possession of a firearm on school property and reckless discharge of a firearm, a misdemeanor.

Saw a play at the local university earlier this evening and it was an excellent production of "The Childrens Hour" by Lillian Hellman. Very well done and I greatly enjoyed it

I am so glad I kept my turntable. I have some interesting old vinyls I like to play every once in awhile.

I heard about that one the news and was totally digusted. He should never be allowed near children again

It looks just like the one on Friday's "Close To Home" - a serial murderer's trophy case was made by sewing pieces of his victims clothes into a quilt and putting their ID's in a small pocket sewn into the cloth. Very nice decor!

The play I mentioned earlier had a lot of interesting messages and layers. I found it rather fascinating and it makes one examine their own thoughts and prejudices.

sounds creepy der Brucer...

...and so was The Children's Hour!

I did not find it creepy
-
I found it rather interesting for it examined issues such as bullying, harrassment, insinuations of sexual orientations and rumor fabricating
