sycophant: a servile self-seeking flatterer Jasager (German) -- a Yes Man, Yes-Sayer der Jasager is an opera (1930) by Kurt Weill and Bertholt Brecht. i whore my blog: http://vleeptron.blogspot.com

coscinomancy i whore my blog now: vleeptron

I posted Clepsydra without permission and she sent me to Dayton, Ohio for three weeks. If you want cool words like Clepsydra, e-mail me behind the dumpster of Tim Horton's.

i'm old, but I'm not dead. and i still like words. but apparently i just can't supply them here. if anybody wants some words, e-mail me in the alley behind the dumpster. i'm still giving them away for free.

okay, well then I want clepsydra back. you can't have it.

I've been desperately fighting Being Myself all my life. Every time I've Just Been Myself, I've gotten into So Much Trouble. Oh, another Unbelievable Miracle of the Accordian: All the Nuevo Tango music of Astor Piazzola. (Actually that squeezebox he plays is the Argentine Bandoneon.) You don't even have to shoplift his stuff, here's a bunch of Real Audio stuff: http://www.piazzolla.org/sounds/index.html

i've been terrified to post to this forum because i'm a geezer out-of-the-loop asshat ... I'm so old that all the music i own is still in a tangible format -- I can touch it and hold it and see it. I own 78s and a couple of 45s, for christs sake. (e-mail me off-list and I'll explain what those are.) (Well, okay, I do have Prince "One of Us" and Manu Chau "Me Gustas Tu" as .mp3s) but then i saw that somebody here was listening to Neil Diamond ... so I'm not so terrified. "Entre Humo y Botellas" ("Between the Smoke and the Bottles") by Flaco Jimenez. I know you won't believe this ... but Flaco ("Skinny") will convince you that the accordian can be cool and beautiful. I certainly never believed that was possible.

well, she's hostile AND i was whoring my blog. the world is big enough for both things. somebody let me know when or if i can post another word. this is where i learned "asshat." I think I've used it 200 times already on my whatchamacallit.

I just thought it was a cool word, never seen it before. It's hard to put words here. Lot of hostility.

clepsydra ... a medieval or ancient water clock. (Not reliable lower than 0 C /32 F or above 100 C /212 F.) Here's one: http://vleeptron.blogspot.com/2005/08/why-...r-earliest.html

who, me? ah, okay, I choose to interpret this -- it's your forum -- as an invitation to vanish. C ya all. I enjoyed the words.

here's how the Prague bartender told the gawking American tourist to prepare it. I sent a copy of this back to the hotel, and they liked it a lot. I think they made copies and hand one to any tourist who says, "How do I drink this stuff?" And I still say it's real yummy and interesting and fun. Not like mouthwash, but certainly the most bitter liquid I ever tossed down my alimentary canal. ***************** bandeau

at the Canadian border, they always ask me if I am smuggling in firearms, liquor or cigarettes. no, no, and maybe 2 packs of Marlboros. And that's okay with them, enjoy your visit to Canada. 2 minutes later i pull into Tim Horton's, i am a total foole for Tim's, and I put money in the jar for the summer camp. ************ this may be spelled all wrong: demisesquicentennial

well, no, i am not making a special trip to Canada just for the absinthe. I love Canada and will be there soon enough in the normal course of my Canada-lovin' life. Can I just wander into any Canadian bar and order it by the drink? Newfoundland Screech Rum -- there's a kick in the torso. And legal there, and legal here. *************** meme "... a meme wrapped in a 'protein jacket' that promises Eternal Life if you give the meme a home in your brain, and promises you Eternal Damnation if you don't give the meme a home in your brain."

hi itchy, can u gimme a citation on absinthe being legal in canada? the buzz i've always heard is that when it was banned in Europe and the USA, ditto Canada. the other buzz i heard, though, is that there's old-fashioned superstrength absinthe for sale in the French islands just south of Newfoundland, Miquelon and St. Pierre. i've only had Hill's (tourist-strength) absinthe from the Czech Republic. very subjective matter of taste, but i loved it, partially certainly from stumbling on some Forbidden Mythical Fruit. partially from the really really nifty theatrical presentation that the Prague bartender put on when he showed me how it's uhhhhh "supposed" to be served. Fire is involved. okay i lied. i smuggled a bottle back in my dirty underpants. we invited friends over for an absinthe party. the guy guest set the coffee table on fire. but i loved the taste, the buzz, the wickedness & depravity of it all. even tourist-strength, truly the weirdest-ass beverage i ever tossed down my maw. after we put the fire out, everybody had the Funnest Party we could remember. the Canada thing -- i'm just 6 hours south of Montreal, so I am authentically curious. **************** "frozen Christmas"
