Today on Yahoo's front page there's an article entitled "How to live to 100." Who wants to live to 100?

How do you deal with evil? Last night I wanted to find Julie Gregory's mother and pierce her skin with a red hot poker so she had a real reason to go to the hospital.

a friend of mine who is currently in seoul has asked me to send her some microwave popcorn that is packaged "in the red box." all of the microwave popcorn sold at our local ordinary grocery store is packaged in red. there is only a choice between orville and jiffy pop-- no act, pop secret, paul newman, reduced fat types in green boxes, or generic selections. none of those alternates are red, just saying...

so, here i will half-restrict my own almost violent opinion (fake food, microwaves, ease, estrogen, how i could own eight of my thighs and still be severely underweight in comparison) and ask, "orville, jiffy pop, or both?"



she also wants reese's peanut butter cups because "they cost a whole dollar more if bought there." to make the cost of shipping this box cost effective and funny, i need to send over 50 packs.

i would prefer to make buckeyes (as would she) but even if carried by a personal courier, doubt they would arrive.

Do you know how to fire a gun? (A handgun, say.) Did you learn from a family member or friend or did you seek out someone (like a professional) to teach you?

no, no, no...

it's better to love yet retain the ability to throw The Bastard out of your house.

wanted: a native speaker of the russian language who could take two hours out of his or her sunday to tweak an art history submission for me.

the aim is to tolerate the fluff found outside of the facts, but since i am not into promoting superfluous filler, it is proving to provide a concrete forehead. the entire concept that i enrolled in this program and bought this boredom is depressing my posture.

considering the level of scholarship, i need to reveal passionate enthusiasm for this, an assortment of history which i do not treasure. i hate the simplicity of objective and also what is supposed to be "the adventurous breadth" of obtaining collateral credits in religious russian architecture. when that which is too easy becomes difficult, i am gone.

access to interesting endeavors which are worthy of my devotion are only a few days away, and i may decide to postpone this graduate humanities program completely.

Is there a car (or other product) that you like purely for style reasons but cannot justify buying because the quality of the product isn't worth it?

today i had an appointment with a client. after she selected the items she would purchase, she decided that she would have one of the pieces shipped to her home in asia. okay. usually nothing surprises me, but this woman bought a $2000 chair and then proceeded to agree to a $4000+ shipping and handling charge.

additionally fantastic:

- i haggled for this chair in morocco last year and got it for $60. then i spent an additional half hour painting it.

- my partner in this business wants to take personal responsibility for the delivery, use frequent flyer miles to get to asia, and then split the enormous profit between the two of us.

Any current lemmings?

Have you ever met the author of something you love (book, song, film, product, process, method, molecule) and meeting them ruined their creation for you?

Happy Conception Day, Flagrant.

I was just looking at the Forbes 400 richest Americans list (looking to see who's richer than Soros) and I noticed that 21 of the top 50 are over 70 years old. (Eleven of the top 25.) What do you think will happen to those fortunes when those people die? Will they stay in concentrated hands or will they get broken up (or broken down) and spread out more? Everyone knows the Buffet is giving away huge sums - what about the others? Has anyone asked them or written an article on that? How many decendants are there in the Walton family? Where's the Kluge money going? How do people pass on these types of fortunes?
