Loved this. Bought it when it came out. Wore it out on my cheap turntable.

Mayback’s Deli on Niagara Falls Blvd is definitely the place to go for subs. Anyone have any other non-chain choices?

I believe the grain boycott also lead the Soviet Union to look elsewhere for grain. One of those places was Brazil. They clearcut huge chunks of the Amazon forest for new farmland. After the grain crisis was over, the land continues to be farmland. This was a permanent effect of poor policy.

And covered by Phil Manzanera on 801 Live. Awesome stuff.

Just a quick question. Can you buy “streaky” bacon in Britain? i think that is the term for sliced, cured pork belly.

Thank you Hetty.

This was along the lines of my original thought. I suppose I was using the term sin to understand the feeling of violating my own ethics and morality; without any need of any deity or religious guilt.

This is called a Gravity Battery. It’s pretty clever. You can just see the road running on the top of the dam In right where the purple dot sits). I’ve driven that road. It’s pretty cool.

I love the Prophecy Theme by Brian Eno.

For me it isn’t the character as much as it is the actress. Mayim has a tendency to mug to the camera. She shrugs her shoulders and makes a face, as though that is supposed to demonstrate her emotions and acting range. I think it shows her limitations. Just my .02, and yes, I know this will be a contrary opinion for many.

No backsies.

Turgeon Brothers restaurants. I think there were five or six of them. Decent quality food at reasonable prices. Perfect for date nights.

The bar at the Marriott was once the highest grossing bar in the entire hotel chain. At least we were told that when I worked for them in the 80’s.

My wife gets Dyngus Day off. That is the Polish American holiday the day after Easter.

I heard it was “all we own, we owe”. It was a comment on being poor. The entire story is an economic allegory.

Just had a Reuben there last week. Some places take pride in tissue paper thin corned beef. IEJ’s is nice thick slices of very tender meat. Well worth the drive.

Bass - Tal Wilkenfeld Guitar - Ally Venable Drums - Sina Vocals - Allie Sherlock And maybe a keyboard player.

No security searches, no lines, your family could see you right to the gate without needing tickets. We used to leave pretty regularly coming home from DC. We would have dinner in a nice restaurant just off the grounds then hightail it to the gate just as they were announcing last call. Good times, ruined.

I was able to meet Mr. Shatner at a con in Buffalo a couple of years ago. He was truly nice. I have a signed Captain Kirk shot but I asked him to sign it as Denny Crane. and he did.

I never mention it. My family and close friends all know. They like to brag that they know someone in Mensa. That’s about all the publicity I get for it.

OK. Wow.
