Now I want a BLT with avocado, and a dish of olives on the side.
oh god, me three...I may have to include that in my ever-expanding Last Meal plan!
The housing prices alone are making me wonder if I could find a job there (commuting to my current job is NOT an option).
I'm going to go ahead and say, Yes! I'm an optimistic B'more booster! The city should be paying me, I tell ya!
In regards to schools, the current schools chief seems to be pretty committed to making pretty radical changes in order to improve them. There is a LOT of work to do in that regard, though, there will be no easy fixes. And, yeah, what sarameg was saying about needing to be an activist parent to really get what you need for your kid is so true.
oh, and, Happy Birthday, tommyrot!!!
ION, what do you do if you run an amusement part, and your Wall of Death just isn't Wall-of-Death-y enough? Add a lion, thus creating "The LionDrome."
Walls of Death in Amusement Parks: A Brief History
"Famous Hell Drivers - Racing Lions - Feminine Courage!"
Since there was no "Harry Potter" in IMAX 3-D in the 1930s, where would you go to see an ultimate spectacle? You'd go to the amusement park to see motorcycles roaring up, down, and around a huge wooden barrel, filling the air with atrocious noise, fumes and a tremendous sense of danger - with spectators standing just yards away from the action!
It seems the Sen. David "Hookers" Vittner is too important to pay attention to airport security.
[T]he Louisiana Republican arrived Thursday evening at his United Airlines gate 20 minutes before the plane was scheduled to depart, only to find the gate had already been closed. Undeterred, Vitter opened the door, setting off a security alarm and prompting an airline worker to warn him that entering the gate was forbidden.
Vitter, our spy said, gave the airline worker an earful, employing the timeworn "do-you-know-who-I-am" tirade that apparently grew quite heated.
Happy Birthday, Tommyrot!
Happy birthday, tommyrot!
have you decided whether you're going to give yourself a scary-link-posting holiday
Just because it's my birthday, doesn't mean there's still work to be done....
Hi, tommy! Hi, JZ!
I'm supposed to be working right now to coordinate lessons for the science-for-girls project I'm sorta becoming the go-to-girl for, but after teaching for 6 hours straight (my class has their first exam tomorrow, so I thoroughly solved last year's exam with them), and considering it's the sorta-second-day of a holiday here (Purim. It's a holiday in Jerusalem today, and was a holiday for the rest of everywhere yesterday), all I wanna do is play online.
Um, I'm sorry that you're probably sorry to have asked.
Happy Birthday tommyrot!!
