Check out his fancy curved frets. Dude likes his intonation just-so.

With those colors, it should've been pretty easy to spot!

U-352 is already the top dive spot off the NC coast.

If I wanted to watch Glee, I'd watch Glee. But I hate Glee. I watch American Horror Story, in part, because it's not Glee. AHS is (err, wasn't) a show where people do a lot of lip-syncing.

That "Name Game" scene was fun, in season two. And it was fun because it was completely unexpected. But two songs in the first two episodes of season 4, and at least two more on the way, is just obnoxious.

I realize it's too late now, but you really should've consulted me before you started this.

"White people riot for this—" Puts a pumpkin on the stage. "Black people riot for *this*—" Simulates being shot by a cop.

A gamergate is a reproductively viable female worker ant that is able to reproduce with mature males when the colony is lacking a queen. Most commonly occurring within the primitive species of the poneromorph subfamilies, gamergate females differ from their fellow workers by a combination of elevated fecundity and aggression-related mutilation of competitors' secondary sexual characteristics. Subsequent to their first mating event, however, aggression is no longer needed as females secrete chemical signals that lead the workers to accept their role as reproducers for the colony.

And now you know.

Having Fun with Elvis on Stage is a 1974 live album by Elvis Presley.

The album is unique among Elvis' recordings as it does not contain any actual songs: it consists entirely of byplay recorded between numbers, although Elvis is frequently heard humming or singing "Well...", which during the actual performances led into songs that have been edited out of this recording. Much of the album consists of Elvis making jokes, with the material spliced in a manner that has been described as lacking continuity and nearly devoid of comprehensibility, let alone humor.

I listen to music at work, always have. In the before time, in the long-long-ago, I schlepped 8 CDs back and forth to work every day: a different set every day. But pretty much as soon as I got my first iPod, back in 2003, I stopped listening to albums all the way through. I just put the thing on shuffle and let it run.

Recently I've noticed that, if I have two or more albums from a band which I purchased at the same time or nearly the same time, I can't say which album a song came from. It's just from 'the album I bought last week' or whatever. In my head, an album is starting to be more like a container which I buy and then upend in order to dump a new batch of songs into the iPods' mix; it's no longer something that I think about as its own entity.

But I don't like that; I like the idea that an album is intended to be listened to as a whole. And so I've started listening to albums again. And that's nice.

What about you? Still on albums? Or shuffle? Or playlists?

To me.

"The body was so obese that the actual body fat came off and went straight up the sack and hit the roof material, the rubber roof we have up there and that's what made it go up like it did…It was no negligence involved in it. My guys, we did all we could. Once it started, the grease hit the roof and started the fire, the only thing we could do is dial 911 and get the fire department here,” Hendrix said.

Take a look at the pics and imagine living downwind. Barf.

There were 3 bodies on site at the cremation site at the time of the fire, but the manager says none were damaged in the process.

Whew!

In particular, research suggests that conspiracy theories can be psychologically reassuring in situations like this — seeing conspiracies in randomness or attributing negative events to enemies can restore feelings of control when people encounter unpredictable threats. Until we can help people feel as if the situation is coming under control, we shouldn’t be surprised if they try to regain psychological equilibrium however they can.

That's from the very bottom of an August NYT piece about how conspiracy theories and myths and other misinformation have complicated the job of managing the ebola crisis in Africa.

And now, it's time for our own homegrown conspiracy-minded mythologizing to start infecting our discourse.

Here's a delusional dipshit at WND who thinks there just might be something to all the conspiracy theories that have started fermenting in the dark dank skulls of "conservatives" now that the icky black plague of ebola has arrived in the US:

Recent polls show that there is a crisis of confidence among the people. When the people lose all trust in their government because of the lies they have been told over and over again, theories begin to emerge about all sorts of things. We desperately need someone to rebuild the trust and restore faith in this government. The damage that has been done is almost irreparable.

My fear is that this has all been orchestrated from the very beginning. Who knows? Maybe the current administration needs this to happen so martial law can be declared, guns can be seized and the populace can be controlled. Once that happens … game over.

Yeah, who knows? Wheels within wheels man.

And the comments on that WND article are pure lunacy.

Oh well.
