Happy Birthday Askye!
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

sara - probably the guy I saw this morning, fishing in the corporate landscaped pond near my office. I drove by him and his kids and had a total wtf moment.

re: racism, South Pacific does have the song "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught", so they're aware of the racism. I'm fairly amazed that that song shows up in a 50s/60s musical.

Looks like the Nuvi 205W is about $90 on Amazon, and the only difference I see is in the "voice" features. I think Gudanov has one of those.
Indeed I do. Works like a charm, though it's pretty basic. Most of the time I use it as a backup speedometer, but the times I've used it for navigation it has performed just fine.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes, but even in that scene, the message is essentially that racism is bad because it means white guys can't fuck hot Polynesian chicks without people looking at them funny. At no point does the play ever address the fact that racism primarily hurts people of color.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I figure it's something along the lines of "What the hell?! Next time I'm going to the matinee."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, those are fantastic! I assume they included the one guy in the regular hat just because he was hot.

One of the best examples of "why race relations in the 1950s were so completely different from today" is watching old episodes of "What's My Line?" It was a very mainstream show filmed in cosmopolitan New York with people who considered themselves the best of the best. If you ever asked them if they were racist, they'd deny it whole-heartedly. But, they are continually fooled by articulate black male contestants who have professions such as district attorney, judge, and fighter pilot, because they always forget that, hey, black people can be professionals, too!!
They do the same with female contestants of all colors.

Happy Birthday, askye!
I love Isabella Christensen's hat.
Everyone keeps asking me what I think of the new U. President officially announced yesterday - the only thing I care about is whether or not he will continue the summer Friday tradition.
