Preparation is a good thing if one is going to write comics for a living. One must do a lot of research and pre-writing to discover what the story is about and who the characters are before one ever attempts to write a script.

Posted by Danny Blaine on :
Have you ever danced a tango?
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
well, I found this history of the tango using a Google search
Originally, the tango dance developed as an "acting out" of the relationship between the prostitute and her pimp. In fact, the titles of the first tangos referred to characters in the world of prostitution. These tango songs and dances had no lyrics, were often highly improvised, and were generally regarded as obscene. Further, the early tangos not only represented a kind of sexual choreography, but often a duel, a man-to-man combat between challengers for the favors of a woman, that usually ended in the symbolic death of an opponent. Sexual and evil forces were equally celebrated in this ritual. During this time, the wailing melancholy of the bandoneon (an accordion-like instrument imported to Argentina from German in 1886) became a mainstay of tango music.
Posted by Almost New Kid on :
The last time I tangoed I was in Paris, and very drunk.

Actually, elephants *do* drink. It's a problem in some places where they make a type of alcoholic beverage (rice wine or something).

Usually when they make a movie from a tv show, it's not very good. However, I did enjoy the Lost in Space Movie. Did you hear, btw, that Fox has commmissioned a pilot for a new Lost in Space series.

I watched that show in its first run as a kid, and I hated how that simpering coward became the focal point of the series. (Is this a bit too much for the off topic thread?)

8 months ago I celebrated the New Year. While at work. Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
History of the Date The celebration of the new year is the oldest of all holidays. It was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4000 years ago. In the years around 2000 BC, the Babylonian New Year began with the first New Moon (actually the first visible cresent) after the Vernal Equinox (first day of spring). This coincided with approximately 23rd-25th March on the Julian Calendar. The beginning of spring is a logical time to start a new year. After all, it is the season of rebirth, of planting new crops, and of blossoming. It symbolized new growth and a time to look forward to the future - the same meaning that the new year holds for people today. January 1, on the other hand, has no astronomical nor agricultural significance. It is purely arbitrary.
The Babylonian new year celebration lasted for eleven days. Each day had its own particular mode of celebration, but it is safe to say that modern New Year's Eve festivities pale in comparison. The Romans continued to observe the new year in late March, but their calendar was continually tampered with by various emperors so that the calendar soon became out of synchronization with the sun.
In order to set the calendar right, the Roman senate, in 153 BC, declared January 1 to be the beginning of the new year. The acceptance of the changed date was delayed. This might be due to some of its arbitrary nature that we have already pointed out. The date was unusual. For, unlike the customs prevalent till then, no agricultural or seasonal significance was attached to it. Instead, it was just a civil date, the day after the elections when the consuls would assume their new positions in the Roman empire. But the bigger problem the changed date posed, was difficulties in the calculation of the year. As the Romans moved their New Year's Day backward almost three months to January 1, we have irregularities in our calendar. The months of September, October, November and December, originally mean, the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth month respectively. Later, many of the Roman emperors had given new names to these months. September received names as "Germanucus", "Antonius" and "Tacitus" under each of these emperors' regime. Thus November also earned the varying names of "Domitianus", "Faustinus" and "Romanus".
The inconveniences led Julius Caesar to institute a new calendar. It was devised by the Greek astronomer Sosigenes of Alexandria from the unrivaled Egyptian solar calendar. Caesar wanted to change the date of the New Year from January 1 to a more logical date - to one of the solstices or equinoxes. However, it happened that January 1 of 45 B.C. was the date of a new moon and to change it would have been to invite bad luck according to the prevalent beliefs. Infact in order to synchronize the calendar with the sun, Caesar had to let the previous year drag on for 445 days.
For his calendar reform, the Senate rewarded him by having the month of his birth, Quintilis, renamed "July" in his honor. Caesar's grandnephew, the Emperor Augustus, had a similar honor bestowed on him when he corrected a mistake which had crept into the calculation of the leap year. Till then it had been observed every three years, instead of every four. He abolished all leap years between 8 B.C. and A.D. 8. Thus he set the calendar straight and earned for himself the renaming of Sextilis as "August".
In early times, the ancient Romans gave each other New Year's gifts of branches from sacred trees. In later years, they gave gold-covered nuts or coins imprinted with pictures of Janus, the god of gates, doors, and beginnings. January was named after Janus, who had two faces--one looking forward and the other looking backward. The Romans also brought gifts to the emperor. The emperors eventually began to demand such gifts. But the Christian church outlawed this custom and certain other pagan New Year's practices in A.D. 567.
As the Catholic Church expanded, it was strongly opposed to the celebration of the Roman's New Year, and denounced it as paganism. However, as Christianity became more widespread, the religious observances of the Catholic Church began to coincide with many of the pagan celebrations. On January 1, while the Romans celebrated the New Year, the Catholic Church worshipped what is still observed by some denominations today as the Feast of Christ's Circumcision. The Church continued to condemn the celebration of the New Year throughout the Middle Ages. It wasn't until the late 1500s that January 1 became the official holiday celebrated by Western nations.
It was Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 AD who incorporated our present method of calculation and dividing the year. It was the Pope who reinstituted the practice of observing New Year's Day on January 1, regardless of the pre-Christian associations with that date. The Gregorian reforms also canceled ten days from October; Thursday, October 4, 1582, was followed by Friday, October 15, 1582. the old discrepancy was provided for by making only those century dates leap years that were that were divisible by 400. Thus although the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, the 2000 is.
The global adoption: Catholic countries adopted it soon. Yet it took some time for the Protestants to follow suit. Finally Germany did adopt it in 1700, Great Britain in 1752, and Sweden in 1753. It was then necessary to drop 11 days from the calendar because 1700 had been a leap year.
The Oriental countries through the influence of religious groups such as the Hindus, Taoists, Buddhists and Moslems, considered the new Calendar as the Christian Calendar, but also adopted it as their official one. Japan welcomed it in 1873 and China in 1912.
The Eastern Orthodox adopted it even later, in 1924 and 1927, Russia took it twice - first in 1918 and after trying out its own calendars, again 1n 1924.

Opposite my friend's comic store, there was Po Chu's, a dressmakers and Poochies, a dog grooming shop. They were side by side in a block of stores. We often wondered if customers ever confused the two.

Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette Written by Merle Travis and Tex Williams
Now I'm a feller with a heart of gold And the ways of a gentleman I've been told The kind of guy that wouldn't even harm a flea But if me and a certain character met The guy that invented the cigarette I'd murder that son-of-a-gun in the first degree
It ain't cuz I don't smoke myself And I don't reckon that it'll harm your health Smoked all my life and I ain't dead yet
But nicotine slaves are all the same At a pettin' party or a poker game Everything gotta stop while they have a cigarette
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate That you hates to make him wait But you just gotta have another cigarette
Now in a game of chance the other night Old Dame Fortune was a-doin' me right The kings and the queens just kept on comin' round
And I got a full and I bet 'em high But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy He just kept on raisin' and layin' that money down
Now he'd raise me and I'd raise him I sweated blood, gotta sink or swim He finally called and didn't even raise the bet
So I said "aces full Pops how 'bout you?" He said "I'll tell you in a minute or two But right now, I gotta have me a cigarette"
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate That you hates to make him wait But you just gotta have another cigarette
(Ah, smoke it! Hah! Yes! Yes! Yes!)
The other night I had a date With the cutest little girl in the United States A high-bred, uptown, fancy little dame
She loved me and it seemed to me That things were 'bout like they oughta be So hand in hand we strolled down lover's lane
She was oh so far from a cake of ice And our smoochin' party was goin' nice So help me cats I believe I'd be there yet
But I give her a kiss and a little squeeze And she said, "ah, Marty, excuse me please I just gotta have me another, cigarette"
And she said, smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate That you hates to make him wait But you just gotta have another cigarette Posted by Slobo Bloke on :

People at work keep busting the copy machine and we can't get it fixed. Our Accounts Payable people are in some kind of a big dispute with the company that services the copier and won't pay the bill until it's cleared up. Meanwhile the people that service the copier won't come out and fix it until they get paid. So our copier has been down now for two weeks, and it's become incredibly hard to function without it. We've had to resort to making all of our copies off of a little fax machine in the back office that takes forever, and because of all of the recent abuse is now on it's last legs.

Known as "the lowest point on Earth", the Dead Sea is continually getting lower. According to The Jordan Times the surface of the Dead Sea, which stood at 392 meters below sea-level as early as 1920, now stands more than 420 meters below sea level.
The decrease in the Dead Sea's size can be attributed to a number of factors, including high temperatures in the Jordan River valley which causes the salt water from the Sea to evaporate and a decreased flow from several tributaries which feed the Dead Sea. Over the years water from these tributaries, which include the Jordan and Mujib Rivers, have been increasingly diverted for use in agricultural irrigation in Jordan, Syria and Israel.

Sorry for carrying out the Seinfeld topic when I know we're supposed to drift off of it, but since it's Legion-related and I might not get another chance to throw it out there I hope you'll let it slide...
The Maestro, who briefly dated Elaine on Seinfeld was named Bob Cobb. He insisted on being called The Maestro, since he was the conductor of an orchestra, and got offended when Elaine called him Bob.
Bob Cobb, of course was the "secret identity" the Pa Kent gave to Mon-El when he first landed in Smallville and Superboy thought Mon was his brother. As Bob Cobb, Mon-El was a brush salesman. The identity was revived when Mon-El visited Smallville, and was last used as late as 1987 when Mon-El was in Smallville during the "Death of Superboy" arc.

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name which is no part of thee Take all myself.

"Seldom we find," says Solomon Don Dunce, "Half an idea in the profoundest sonnet. Through all the flimsy things we see at once As easily as through a Naples bonnet- Trash of all trash!- how can a lady don it? Yet heavier far than your Petrarchan stuff- Owl-downy nonsense that the faintest puff Twirls into trunk-paper the while you con it." And, veritably, Sol is right enough. The general tuckermanities are arrant Bubbles- ephemeral and so transparent- But this is, now- you may depend upon it- Stable, opaque, immortal- all by dint Of the dear names that he concealed within 't.

The personified Roman god of the sun, completely identical to the Greek Helios. He was possibly worshipped as Sol Indiges in his temple on the Quirinalis. A second temple was located at the Circus Maximus, near the race-tracks, where he was considered to be the protector of the four-in-hands which joined the races. The emperor Heliogabalus imported the cult of Sol Invictus ("the invincible sun") from Syria and Sol was made god of the state.

One of my favorite Farside cartoons has two average looking average sized explorers looking upon a tribe of giants size natives. One says to the other "If we are lucky, they will revere us as gods."

What can be more soothing, at once to a man’s Pride, and to his Conscience, than the conviction that, in taking vengeance on his enemies for injustice done him, he has simply to do them justice in return?

I like it when I pass by the fire station and that fireman blows the horn in order to scare me. It worked once, think he would stop.
Posted by Loser Lad on :
I lived around the corner from a Fire Station growing up. I always felt safe knowing they could be to my house in a matter of seconds if there was ever a fire. Until, of course, the day the Fire Station itself caught on fire and they had to send another truck from the next neighborhood over to help them put it out... Posted by Faraway Lad on :
Speaking of firemen, they are already having to put out early Bonfires being made ready for Guy Fawkes night.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
In 1605, Guy Fawkes (also known as Guido - yes, really) and a group of conspirators attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
After Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603, English Catholics who had had a rough time under her reign had hoped that her successor, James I, would be more tolerant of their religion. Alas, he was not, and this angered a number of young men who decided that violent action was the answer.
One young man in particular, Robert Catesby suggested to some close friends that the thing to do was to blow up the Houses of Parliament. In doing so, they would kill the King, maybe even the Prince of Wales, and the Members of Parliament who were making life difficult for the Catholics. Today these conspirators would be known as extremists, or terrorists.
To carry out their plan, the conspirators got hold of 36 barrels of gunpowder - and stored them in a cellar, just under the House of Lords.
But as the group worked on the plot, it became clear that some innocent people would be hurt or killed in the attack. Some of the plotters started having second thoughts. One of the group members even sent an anonymous letter warning his friend, Lord Monteagle, to stay away from the Parliament on November 5th. Was the letter real?
The warning letter reached the King, and the King's forces made plans to stop the conspirators.
Guy Fawkes, who was in the cellar of the parliament with the 36 barrels of gunpowder when the authorities stormed it in the early hours of November 5th, was caught, tortured and executed.
It's unclear if the conspirators would ever have been able to pull off their plan to blow up the Parliament even if they had not been betrayed - some people think the gunpowder they were planning to use was so old as to be useless. Since Guy Fawkes and his colleagues got caught before trying to ignite the powder, we'll never know for certain.
Even for the period which was notoriously unstable, the Gunpowder Plot struck a very profound chord for the people of England. In fact, since the failed coup, the reigning monarch only enters the Parliament once a year, on what is called "the State Opening of Parliament". Prior to the Opening, and according to custom, the Yeomen of the Guard search the cellars of the Palace of Westminster. Today, the Queen and Parliament still observe this tradition.
These days, Guy Fawkes Day is also known as Bonfire Night. The event is commemorated every year with fireworks and burning effigies of Guy Fawkes on a bonfire.
Some of the English have been known to wonder whether they are celebrating Fawkes' execution or honoring his attempt to do away with the government.

"Movin' on up!" is a theme song from a show I've never watched, although I heard the theme song a lot at college parties...
Posted by Loser Lad on :
When I was in college one of my supervisors at the dining hall I worked at used to have parties at his house. At on party there was a big group of us sitting around in his attic drinking. I got really, really drunk and threw up into a wok that was sitting in the attic. Having to go in to work the next night and face him was odd to say the least. He was a cool guy though, and he didn't really give me a hard time about it.

I miss Loser Lad. I hope he is not getting sick in woks anymore.

The reason a broken mirror is seven years of bad luck is because the Romans believed that a person's body completely changed in seven years. So the person wo broke the mirror is no longer here for the bad luck.

If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. Gloom, despair, and agony on me.

I put some Medjool dates in a smoothie a couple of weeks ago.
Posted by cleome45 on :
My ideal smoothie is:
1 C Lowfat yogurt 1/2 C Blueberries, frozen or fresh 1 small ripe banana 1/4 C O.J. 1-2 tsps. honey
It's certainly saved my life several times in the past week-and-a-half.
