is Thai Massage akin to passive stretching?

With shiatsu and a bit of deep tissue. At least in the fifty minute version. I suspect the next time I give in to the B+W urge, it will be deluxe Thai. The crack dealermasseuse told me to stick to shiatsu/Thai and deep tissue, because of my tolerance and flexibility.

Sweet talker.

Very interesting. Lots of evidence, but I can't say if it's conclusive.

If it turns out to be true, it would at least eliminate one of the vast array of tick marks I've made against the Bush administration. Big Brothering cameramen and reporters about the frequency of their equipment really outraged me when going by the assumption that it was a microphone system he was wearing during the debates, but no problemo if they were worried about interference with a defibrillator. Well, aside from concern that a poentially debilitating degenerative disorder might have been concealed from voters before the election, but I can empathize with not wanting to become a large scale version of those twitching frogs from biology class in front of a hundred million viewers.

A Yeats reader.

WD Cornelius is on our "suspect indivduals" list. Yeats readers. Do we trust them? Would Bush trust them? Would Bush have any idea what we are talking about?

Back on topic: Mortality sucks.

Note to self: Don't get fixed up by ita...although maybe it would be to die for. And I know some people that would volunteer to do that for...a certain person on the Wire whose name I can't use...la, la, la. But if you've seen it, you know. I've not seen fans lose their shit so hard in a long time.

Yeats readers. Do we trust them?

Shit, we better. Both Betsy and I have a hardcore jones for William Butler.

Hecubus, my mom says it's scary she had the same thought about my Homicide disc as you.

(looks around in shock) Uh-oh...I've been detected. Yeah, I'm a great Yeats reader, he's one of my literary icons. Probably my favourite twentieth-century poet, and my third favourite poet/writer named "William." (Blake and Shakespeare) Politics, mythology, love, spirituality, art...Yeats has it all, and he does it all with brilliance.

I think I also identify w/ Yeats' experiences with women.

GWB: Who is this Yeets? Does Byzantium have Weapons of Mass Destruction?

Advisor: It's pronounced Y-ayts, George.

Oh, like that other poet, John Kates?

Advisor: (slaps forehead).

Hecubus, my mom says it's scary she had the same thought about my Homicide disc as you.

I think we just know you pretty well.

Hey Gus, you a P-Funk fan? 'Cuz I've got Rhino Handmade's reissue of Eddie Hazel's Games Dames and Guitar Thangs and it's an unbelievably tasty psychedelic funk guitar workout.

Gus, did that Kitelines article ever get published?

DavidS: re: Games Dames and Guitar Thangs ... with a title like that, I am bound to be, although I am currently P-Funk ignorant, ignorant me.

dcp, my kitey homey! Yes, it did. The December edition, which came out in November, because mag publishers have been on crack for aeons.
