Jako taki [yako taki] (or jako tako, depending on gender and number of subjects) means "so so, mediocre" in Polish. I think that at least one cabaret used jako taki and takoyaki as a word-play in their stand up routine...


Just for grins, I checked the Craigslist entry for the Cort guitar. It's now down to $15 after two months on the list. STILL no contact information for the ad. *headdesk*

Not even the "reply" button up on the left?

Which version of the audiobook do you have? The one I have makes me space out and fall asleep.

The narrator is named Martin Shaw

Still isn't one. Just "reply below" and the default Craigslist "we'll send the seller an email" offer. I'm tempted to go to the area on the map and put up a sign.


Garage is now cleaner than the rest of the house.

Of course this will not do. NOW I have to clean the house
(Looks like a disaster struck, since I brought in all the salvageable stuff from the garage to try and,... salvage it.) ;P

Seems somebody liked my pile of trash. While I was at work this morning, someone obviously went through my pile of waterlogged garbage and actually took a couple of things. Including a large plastic tub with the remains of an old inflatable swimming pool in it.

One mans trash is another mans treasure! ;)

glad to hear you are save, Rag

The Martin Shaw!, that's brilliant he has a great voice. (And was superb in The Professionals, a must-see for any police/FBI tv-show fan)

To be honest, that sounds like a good idea (depending how large the area is).

I hope it is amazing as this place is. I have a sizeable nyc food bias, though.


C'mon! I'm sure Madison has just as good of food as NYC...

At least it got a good review from a Seattle person, they like to be snobby about Asian cuisine, on account of the close proximity to Asia.

I should get that for my wife. She's always meant to read the Silmarillion, and it would make her commute a little more fun.

To the Sea, to the Sea! The white gulls are crying,

The wind is blowing, and the white foam is flying.
West, west away, the round sun is falling.
Grey ship, grey ship, do you hear them calling.
The voices of my people that have gone before me?
I will leave, I will leave the woods that bore me;
For our days are ending and our years failing.
I will pass the wide waters lonely sailing.
Long are the waves on the Last Shore falling,
Sweet are the voices in the Lost Isle calling,
In Eressea, in Elvenhome that no man can discover,
Where the leaves fall not: land of my people for ever!’
Thankfully I am not ready to diminish and go to the West :)

Well, at least you don't have the Doom of Mandos set upon you.

Thirty-three degrees of motion, m$~@!$!*%!$!! YEAH! Gained three degrees when I thought progress was stopping. Today was my last PT appointment, but I'm gon' keep working this b%@~+ 'til it begs for mercy. They said I'd never get 60 to 70 (normal), but that's going to be my goal anyway.

Did you ever think you'd see somebody so ridiculously happy about a gain of three degrees of motion in a stupid fingertip? ;)

P.S. Oh, also gained about 8 pounds of grip strength.

P.P.S. Why aren't we on metric yet?

Why stop there? Crank that baby up to 11!

11 Eagles= 1 Kick ass
11 kick asses (121 eagles) = 1 Merica
11 Mericas (121 Kick asses or 1331 eagles) = 1 Norris

Down with the decimal system!

Okay, maple syrup and poutine are both delicious.

All hail out subarctic overlords!


Jokes on you then, almost all the "maple" syrup in the U.S. is now made almost entirely out of high fructose corn syrup.

And people wonder whys we so much smart. :-)

That's way too standardized. What are you, some kind of Socialist?

8 Eagles = 1 Kick ass
23 Kick asses = 1 Merica
9.43 Mericas = 1 Norris


What happens to the Eagles, can you really care for that many eagles...

Now you're being silly. My system is way easier to work with. Everybody knows if you want a quarter of a Norris you need 332.75 eagles.

Yeah, I've made it through the book twice, and it was worth it, BUT it was work, not easy! :P

I can't eat syrup anymore, it makes me nauseous.

And poutine creeps me out. It's fries, curds, and gravy right?


The French make everything sound better. :-)

French waiter "This, is Poutine"

Dubious American "So, it's a Casserole? So, why am I spending so much for it?"

French waiter (clearly mystified) "It's Poutine!"

Curds are just soft cheese. Fries, cheese, and gravy sounds really delicious.

This. Fries, smothered in gravy, with bits of melty soft cheese.

If it was served at Denny's and called "Ultimate French Fries" or something, Americans would be all over it.

From what I've seen of curds they're not cheese, they tried to become cheese.

And failed miserably.
