^Wrong.

Krippner (1977), Rao (1984), Targ & Puthoff (1977, pp. 182-186), and Tart (1982b) have all documented glaring errors made by James Randi who has failed on numerous occasions to award the money when he has been proved wrong. Instead, he makes up reasons after the fact about why an experiment failed to meet his criteria.

Dennis Stillings has demonstrated that "Randi is capable of gross distortion of facts" (Truzzi, 1987, p. 89). Randi has been quoted as saying, "I always have an out" with regard to his $1,000,000 challenge (Rawlins, 1981, p. 89). Puthoff and Targ (1977) documented a number of mistakes. In a published, handwritten, signed letter, Randi replied offering $1,000 if any claimed error could be demonstrated (see Fuller, 1979). Fuller proved Randi wrong. In a rejoinder to Puthoff & Targ (1977), Randi reversed himself (for a clear example, see point number 15 in Randi, 1982, p. 223). Randi should have paid the $1,000, but he never did."

Big surprise.

Live at the Hollywood Bowl, epic event from 1982 from seasoned masters of irreverent comedy. Fast-forward 27 years children-Those who fancy themselves progressive, sensitive, and politically correct, would add convenient labels ("hate speech" "bigotry")because of course, it's much more convenient to avoid a topic altogether with a mind conditioned to react to certain words, regardless of the context, than to respond with a thoughtful, intelligent observation.

The same children see no harm in the comedy of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, use expletives online in their editorials and opinions regardless of the mores they adhere to that keep them from coloring a conversation at their job or in public with the same, and are the first to cry foul when a complete stranger's so-called "rights", civil or otherwise, are violated.

What to do with a world full of spineless pussies, hmmm?

Teach them Chinese?
The world today seems absolutely crackers,
With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high.
There's fools and idiots sitting on the trigger.
It's depressing and it's senseless, and that's why...
I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They only come up to your knees,
Yet they're always friendly, and they're ready to please.

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
There's nine hundred million of them in the world today.
You'd better learn to like them; that's what I say.

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They come from a long way overseas,
But they're cute and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please.

I like Chinese food.
The waiters never are rude.
Think of the many things they've done to impress.
There's Maoism, Taoism, I Ching, and Chess.

So I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
I like their tiny little trees,
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin, and yang-ese.

I like Chinese thought,
The wisdom that Confucious taught.
If Darwin is anything to shout about,
The Chinese will survive us all without any doubt.

So, I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They only come up to your knees,
Yet they're wise and they're witty, and they're ready to please.

All together.

[verse in Chinese]
Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
Ni hao ma; ni hao ma; ni hao ma; zaijien! (How are you; how are you; how are you; goodbye!)

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
Their food is guaranteed to please,
A fourteen, a seven, a nine, and lychees.

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
I like their tiny little trees,
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin, and yang-ese.

I like Chinese.
I like Chinese.
They only come up to your knees...

Here was my impression of MASH, being born in 1982:

I thought it was about Vietnam.

It took me a long time to learn the name of the song, because I never thought of the question. I assumed it was a theme jingle, not a song. Nor did i know about the movie, or any of it frankly. Just now I found out the lyric writer was only 14~

Was my life better off? I do feel enriched -- knowing I was ignorant and no harm came of it - and that one day, i had a chance to learn, and I took it.

The End.

"Suicide Is Painless" is a song written by Johnny Mandel (music) and Mike Altman (lyrics), which is best known for being featured as the theme song for both the movie and TV series M*A*S*H. The actual title, as it appears on the sheet music, is "Song From M*A*S*H (Suicide is Painless)."

Mike Altman is the son of the original film's director, Robert Altman, and was 14 years old when he composed the song's lyrics.

^ ^ ^ From Wikipedia: Kevin Everett (born February 5, 1982 in Port Arthur, Texas) is a former American football tight end who played for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Bills in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He played college football at the University of Miami.

On September 9, 2007, Everett sustained a fracture and dislocation of his cervical spine that his doctors characterized as "life-threatening" the day after the injury, and stated it is likely to leave him with permanent neurological impairment. However, on September 11, 2007, Everett showed significant movement in his arms and legs, which led doctors to speculate that he might eventually be able to walk again.

I'm afraid that, for me, (...) The fat just came like 3 months after his peak.

fair enough. but if you're talking about pure skill (arrogance and bad behaviour aside), maradona has to be up there, if not top, with cantona near the summit. the thing is, most sporting 'geniuses' are headfucks. look at loopy gascoigne. even george best to an extent.


Maradona was a staggering talent and I don't think we've seen anyone since, perhaps Messi, come close to what he could do on a football pitch. Remember in the 1982 World Cup he was kicked off the pitch because opponents feared him. In 1986 he virtually won it single-handed and they got to the final in 1990 where the Germans didn't exactly cover themselves in glory.

The 1994 World Cup marked the start of the tackle from behind rule and the idea that we shouldn't allow defenders to kick lumps out of the best players. Maradona was still playing then but sent home after the positive ephedrine result, but I wonder what he would have achieved under a similar set of rules from the start of his career. At least one more World Cup I reckon.

I'm not a die-hard football fan but for me he's the best just for his goals in 1986 especially his second against England. Also it should not be forgotten he galvanised Napoli to their only league titles in 1987 and 1990.

If you look at Graph 7,

I interpret this graph as being the amount of real growth in the GDP, where the amount of real growth is measured as the difference between the red curve and the blue curve. From 1955-1982 the GDP was separated from the rate of inflation, indicating that real growth was occurring. This fact is reinforced by Graph 1. The latter periods, especially during 1990-1995, where the two are practically identical indicates to me that there was no real growth--incomes were merely increasing according to inflation. Graph 3 shows this as well, although not as precisely as Graph 7.

Intense, that’s the best word to describe the character of the music that took hold at the outset of the 70’s. Powered by stacks of amplifiers, propelled by rock backbeats, fueled with unbridled passion, and full of the spirit of jazz improvisation, this so-called fusion music coalesced into a full blown movement with the arrival of John McLaughlin’s Mahavishnu Orchestra, Larry Coryell’s Eleventh House, and Chick Corea’s Return to Forever.

With impressive credits, Al was instantly inducted into Guitar Player’s Gallery of the Greats, becoming the youngest player in the magazine’s history ever accorded that honor.

At the outset of the 80’s, Di Meola put his Les Paul on the shelf and turned to the acoustic guitar, touring and recorded with a superstar trio including McLaughlin and Spain’s flamenco master, Paco de Lucia. He returned to his old electrified ways briefly with 1982’s «Electric Rendez-vous» and its follow-up, «Tour De Force Live». In 1983, the same year he recorded the bravado studio album «Passion, Grace & Fire» with the acoustic trio, De Meola had a brief reunion tour with his old RTF mates, Corea, drummer Lenny White, and bassist Stanley Clarke. Though the tour proved that the intensity was still very much alive, no record was released of this powerhouse fusion unit, together again for the first time since the 1976 breakup…

People I went to school with and others I didn't, but knew, K-12 and college, are now on Facebook. They are scattered across the country. So, Facebook is a nice way of keeping up with them. Some of them I haven't seen since 1975, 1978, 1982 and 1987. There are certain ones who are very networked. So, once I one connect with one, then I connect with a bunch.

A few weeks back, one friend from elementary school, informed us he would be on "The Practice" and that we should look for him. He had only two lines. He's a casting director.


An update on Bebo, just so you are informed. AOL's AIM Profiles are now Bebo profiles. You may remember that AOL bought Bebo.
