Life is short! Don't watch the movie if you don't want to.

Speaking of not a big whoop, I had gefilte fish for the first time the other night, and I don't get why people think it's so nasty.

I've never had gefilte fish, but I don't understand why anchovies are supposed to be nast. I snack on the things.

Getting ready to go to mexico next week with Bob Bob. I have a question for all you world travelers. Since, as is frustratingly typical, Bob cannot find his US passport, what would lead to the least hassle at the two border crossings: a birth certificate + driver's license to show US citizenship or his Irish passport?

Do the Irish need visas to come to the US? He might have to go through the biometrics stuff (a Swedish friend had to). If the birth certificate & license live up to the US and Mexican official requirements, I'd go with them.

When I was flying to MX they said a passport was a must. But there could conceivably be visa issues if he uses the Irish one?

MONKEY!

ION, I have a handful of elementary school workbooks in a variety of subjects and with both activities and lessons. Anyone interested in them? They are probably mostly from the 70s.

Oh, my "they" above is the school people -- I didn't bother to find out the official rules.

Before I was a vegetarian, I liked gefilte fish. It was one of the few kinds of fish I'd eat as a kid.

It just didn't have much flavor, you know? I can understand being turned off by the slimy part, but that's easily avoidable.

bon, the State Dept says passports will be required by 12/31/06, so I guess he should be able to pass with the birth cert. [link]

Or equivalent to. Whichever.

At least according to this: [link] a birth cert and photo id are accepted until the end of the year. [xpost with Jesse] I also worried about whether an Irish passport would require a visa but it appears that EU countries can travel in Mexico without. That's not definitive, though.

Sometimes I wish I dated someone who would be the kind of person who knew where his passport was. And didn't tell me on the same day that he forgot about filing his taxes.

OTOH, apparently the author of the last century's best work of consequentialist philosophy asked Bob Bob to comment on his new book today, so there's that.
