Oh, Jesse. Why'd you have to go and link that? Why?
Only to share my pain. If I'm going down, I'm bringing people with me!!
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Los Feliz is PISSED. Standing room only, lots of greaser boys and gurls dressed in 1940s sex-ay attire, old folks from the neighborhood. My neighbor and i got interviewed for the news.
What's going on?
Los Feliz should be pissed. Like LA needs another Whole Foods?
A developer purchased the Derby nightclub, which is a local swing club that was built in the 40s. It's beautiful. One of the Angel wrap parties was there, and I like to go and watch the swing dance classes every now and again.
They want to tear it down, and build a Whole Foods with 80 luxury condos on top and surrounding it, thus killing the local Nature Mart and the entire character of my neighborhood.
They want to tear down The Derby and build a Whole Foods.
stares, openmouthed
I think we should call Vince Vaughn and make him wear a Save the Derby t-shirt all the time for when he's photographed with Jennifer Aniston.
The Scrabble dictionary disagrees.
Yep. I realize that. But I disagree with their disagreement.
So what will Los Feliz do about it, Allyson?
Like a bunch of women in lingerie and wings protesting the destruction of the rainforest outside the Victoria's Secret show. Other than the fact that VS has catalogs I just don't see the connection.
The claim ( is that VS saves money on their catalogs by not using recycled paper, and that their catologs contain a high percentage of old growth pulp. If true, not a trivial connection.
Oh - and a "deadpan humor in scientific research thing" [link]
Abstract
Among a fringe community of paranoids, aluminum helmets serve as the protective measure of choice against invasive radio signals. We investigate the efficacy of three aluminum helmet designs on a sample group of four individuals. Using a $250,000 network analyser, we find that although on average all helmets attenuate invasive radio frequencies in either directions (either emanating from an outside source, or emanating from the cranium of the subject), certain frequencies are in fact greatly amplified. These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government's invasive abilities. We theorize that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.
