I am mostly water.

I am mostly bacteria.

I am mostly chemicals interacting with each other.

I am mostly empty space.

I might be a nothing more than bunch of tiny little strands of energy vibrating very fast.

I made a list based on where you can purchase them if you want to edit it onto your post:

Ah, Limonov... lovely fellow. Lovely in the way that a very original psycho-nutjob can be. There is a fantastic novel about him. Some highlights:

• He got famous with a book about his personal experience as a hobo in NY. Some of these experiences include interracial gay sex.
  
• During the Yugoslavian Wars, he supported the Bosnian Serbs so much that he decided to fight in the war. Here we have him shooting people in Sarajevo. Yes, it's real.
  
• Later he founded the National Bolshevik Party. He is inspired by Roman von Ungern-Sternberg, who is another strong competitor for the position of best/worst nutjob ever.

4. An extremely personal and moving glimpse at the life Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe had together in New York City in the 1960's and 70's. Her personal account goes into their experiences in the Lower East Side, at the Chelsea Hotel, at Andy Warhol's "Factory", and the beginning of CBGB. All of this from the point of view from a poet and the godmother of punk.

Yeah I noticed that. It's custom. He's clearly a fan of Herb Lubalin. Here's a great book on Lubalin, too, if you're interested.

I suggest anyone interested enough in HST to read this article pick up a copy of the biography Ralph Steadman wrote. He knew Hunter very intimately and is able to write without all the sensationalism. It's called The Joke's Over - written shortly after Hunter's suicide.

Fato curioso sobre a TV brasileira:

A Globo foi a primeira grande emissora a tratar a TV como business. As primeiras emissoras (Excelsior, Tupi, antiga Record) tinham um modelo quase circense de gerir as contas: funcionários com atrasos gigantes nos salários, estruturas precárias e muito improviso.

Foi a Globo, com seu padrão de qualidade, que ditou os rumos da TV no Brasil, através do Boni e do Roberto Marinho traficante.

Here are my favorites:

Designing Disney

Walt Disney's Imagineering Legends

The Disney Mountains

It's Kinda a Cute Story

and anything in the Imagineering Field Guide Series.

Making Bernie Vice-President simply wouldn't have been a credible commitment to Bernie's values on the part of the prospective Clinton administration, because the role has no administrative authority. He would have wound up like Robert Reich in Bill Clinton's cabinet, an impotent progressive voice undermined at every turn by neoliberal values.

So the appointment didn't make sense for either side.

Well if you like to read you should pick up Double Take by Kevin Connolly. It's a short and very easy read but you my have something in common with him and become inspired.

THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF MY ORIGINAL COMMENT.

WAS UNABLE TO FIT ALL OF MY RESOURCES IN THE FIRST TWO COMMENTS.

Marty Sklar and Rolly Crump's books are essential reads, as far as I'm concerned. I started reading Marty's book for the info on Walt Disney World and Epcot, but came away fascinated by the development of Japan and his business management advice, the most.

This is a great book I read this summer. Hope you will like it as much as I did:

I wrote a paper on Spiegelman for some terrible war lit class I took a couple of years ago. In Metamaus, Spiegelman basically said that he assigned some of the animals basically off-the-cuff, and I think actually mentioned how he felt bad about the perceptions that resulted from making the Poles pigs. I couldn't give you a page reference, but I worked from this Google Books snippet copy so it is probably in there. Part of his logic, I believe, was to make them clearly Gentiles, a.k.a. non-kosher.

EDIT: From the TV Tropes page sans citation: "As for the Poles, Spiegelman's reasons are complicated—he's ambivalent towards Poland because of his upbringing, so he wanted an ambivalent animal; pigs are not part of the cat-mouse food chain (but cats will eat pork), and are thus neutral towards mice (though mice will eat pork too); pigs are simply not as negative in American culture (his example being Porky Pig); the Nazis called the Poles "swine," which makes pigs a logical choice, given that the Jews, who were called "vermin," are mice; the metaphor works because pigs are not exterminated like mice, but still exploited; and so forth."

EDIT EDIT: This concept didn't not appear in pop culture, at least youth culture.

I really enjoyed this one, so much that I own it. Memories and commentary from Ralph Steadman, Hunter's best friend.

While reading Patti Smith's amazing autobiography, she is introduced in the early days to Fernando Sanchez, a fashion designer who created Madonna's early erotic lingerie look. He was bitten by a sand flea carrying the parasite Leishmaniasis, which killed him at 70.

Ed Stafford is an amazing explorer in the tradition of the great British expeditions, who also contracted the disease and survived. Big Pharm wants nothing to do with marketing a cure, since "only" the poorest of the poor seem to get it. All began with a paragraph in Smith's book. He loved the way she looked in his early erotic designs, way back when.

And that is a rabbit hole for sure of fascinating links.

Question, was not including the release of Dark Night A True Batman Story (TP) on Tuesday a mishap?

Tim Allen

The new version I have is sold out, it was a limited run of 5,000 but you can find his older monograph on amazon

The joke will come first, because it will be all uphill from there. Note that my son made up this joke and he is soooooo proud of it.

  Edited to add my $5 ~~ footlong~~ item.

I'd have to go with Double Take by the wonderful Kevin Connelly. I'm not much for biographies, but having met him a few times on campus shortly before the book came out, I was intrigued. Awesome guy and a fantastic story.

Do you remember the link to the article? That sounds fascinating. In the book My Jihad the author describes how Russians would achieve Olympian levels of intoxication and then lock themselves in bunkers, firing off huge artillery shells at Chechnyan cities. I remember being horrified and wholly intrigued at the absurdity at the same time - maybe I need to stop re-reading Catch-22 so much...

I've enjoyed the following, not being from that part of the world, culture or religion you'd have to take my insight with a grain of salt. There doesn't seem to be that much information about that part of the world, one of the reasons I find it so fascinating. It's fairly invisible. There is typically one viewpoint from this media, red team or blue team, nothing seems to be that unbiased. I found "The Oath" to be the most informative and interesting.
