This story is weird central........but the other news of the day out of Austria seems even creepier.

Turrentine 'That's Where It's At' BN NYC

No. Just getting ready to change into his Manhole Surveillance Man costume.

Curb Your Enthusiasm Damn that's a funny show! Six Feet Under is one of the best shows of the last decade. I agree. We watch stuff like CSI & House.....and some of the Brit mystery/political stuff. That 3 DVD series 'House of Cards' about the super ambitious PM is pretty good stuff. Tonite we'll start in on "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" series. I was just up in the cabin on Lake Superior for 16 days with no tube......just a couple of Twins games on a tiny staticy am radio at night. Just like the old days. Nice.

Right....there were (are) Dorham, Monk, Miles, J.J., Blakey (Birdland & Bohemia), Clark, Powell, Rollins and Jimmy Smith JRVG sets.

A first rate series. Ian Richardson is outstanding!

The Bill Evans 'Waltz for Debby' 45-rpm set that was remastered by Steve Hoffman for Analogue Productions. Perfect!!! ..up next, the Nat King Cole 'After Midnight' 45-rpm set.

... at least in NYC you don't have to ask. Is he one of the dudes they're talking about in this article?? Future of Orthodox Jewish Vote Has Implications for GOP Small but Growing Group Receptive to Republican Ideas By Jim VandeHei Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, August 3, 2006; Page A06 Republicans are hoping a strong defense of Israel translates into greater support among Jewish voters this fall, but the biggest political benefits are likely to come long after the 2006 campaign concludes, according to political and demographic experts studying Jewish voting trends. The Jewish group proving most receptive to Republican overtures over the past decade is among the smallest: Orthodox Jews. Right now, they account for roughly 10 percent of the estimated 5.3 million Jews in the United States, hardly enough to tip most elections. This is likely to change significantly in the years ahead because Orthodox Jews are the fastest-growing segment of the Jewish population, raising the possibility that one of the most reliable Democratic voting blocs will be increasingly in play in future elections, according to surveys of Jewish voting and religious and social habits. "The likelihood is there will be a very quick jump in the................................................

Hell no! I like my 6 ft 2 in 230 lb twiggyesque figure. Hey, we just happen to like larger stuff over here......not like all your Sergios, Jespers & Monty's who consistently wear their pants a bit too tight on the golf course!! I'll hoist a cold one tonite for bubble butt Monty!

Oops, sorry. Now go call Tarantino back and get the final word on that Evans Vanguard box!!

Really? Well, since I already own every single JRVG, what am I to do? Should I buy duplicates of some titles rather than risk getting tagged as a 'poser'? Such a quandary. I'd go for one as well but the problem is that euro sizes tend to be cut a tad smaller than US and these guys don't offer an XXL. I like 'em big and normally wear an XL but there's always going to be some shrinkage (I don't care what they say!) and who knows what the XL would look like after a few wash & dries? Looks like they offer up XXL for Dylan & Richards...so maybe they can spit out a larger one?

#4398 recently arrived at an address in Falls Church, VA..........is this set flying off the shelves?

I've always called you Pat.

I heard that the 1626 limb of his rather extensive family tree contains a certain Mr. Minuit! So you can blame him for that as well!

Hey, how come the yurpeans are never in on these discussions about wild sexcapades and deep dark secrets? They're much cagier than we are.......better trained.

I'ld get real worried if a cop asked me the same question ....even more so if you glanced up and saw that his badge said Officer Wolff !

No way!!! We've been playing by trade 'rules' that were more suited to the immediate post-WWII era and our ever cautious weenies at the State Dept. have helped keep us in 'chains'......now it's time to go to work & squeeze the pip, mate! Oh, sorry....you were referring to rivalry on this board.

I got stopped by the cops last night in DC and the first thing I asked him was 'are you a jew?' Doesn't everyone do that?

I just sent another board member a PM mentioning a DVD ('A Very British Coup') the wife & I watched last night. Maybe you can show that one on the first day of class and get 'em all ginned up? I'll be the large, slightly hunched over kid sitting in the back row of the classroom with the Bob Dole mask on .....keeping an eye on you and demanding that you have the class read "Atlas Shrugged.'

Really depends where you're located. So. Ca is going to have a different dress code than DC but you can't go wrong with a suit. If you're talking about a conservative 80's tie, you're referring to the classic looking striped rep tie a la Brooks Brothers, yes? Sure, that still works...but don't go nutso with the stripes on stripes combo....best to go with a solid color Oxford shirt. Then again, out there on the left coast, you might do better with this one! I'd be shot on sight wearing it! Maybe Orin Hatch could get away with it.

He needs that blue shirt that's up in 6 hours or else he's toast!!!! Actually, if MD's up for a high school teaching position, the correct spelling of 'recommendations' might be more important than the shirt & tie combo.

I really don't know what you can afford to drop, but I'm inclined to side with BB on the Nordstom's rack advice. I'm big on the Faconnable line that is now owned by Nordstroms -- their shirts are quite fashionable and well made. Ditto for their slacks. The shirts typically will set you back $80-$150 but you can find some decent summer deals and I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a few on eBay.....I've done this myself a half-dozen times and been quite pleased with the product. Just make sure that the seller has been dry cleaning them. Like buying music, you want to zero in on sellers that tend to deal exclusively with clothing...not selling aquariums, motorcycle parts & sausage making equipment as well. There a number in the XXL category that are up for sale right now and I don't think you can go wrong. http://search.ebay.com/faconnable In fact, the salmon one is up in an hour: http://cgi.ebay.com/FACONNABLE-100-COTTON-...1QQcmdZViewItem ..and there's this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/MENS-FACONNABLE-LONG-S...1QQcmdZViewItem (and this seller has several.....you could load up!) You can also pick up some excellent Italian ties (Ermenegildo Zegna, Ferragamo, etc) for an excellent price. I was hesitant to buy used clothes on ebay...but I've been pleasantly surprised.

No, he's mad that you EU dudes won't give up your FN !!!!!!!!!

Meet me in live chat in an hour.....I have something to discuss with you.
