Get used to it, Pete. The admin is going to remove profanity, and I have nothing to do with that. As far as the support goes: I treat people like the amazing and complex entities they are, and do not view them, as you do, through a fogged lens of narcissistic rage. Yet, they are still classy and polite with you. You are lucky, as you admit you've been banned from many sites. If you are indeed so smart, and it is so incredibly important to show readers your mental prowess, why don't you get a) your own blog and b) a little more creative with your insults, rather than descending to the five cent bin or gutter of language each and every time? It just makes you look like a sputtering little cartoon. --Unless your ultimate goal is to be banned, which just bespeaks more psychological issues with abandonment and rage. By the way, the word is "heuristic," ...and it is just a fancy word for "tool."— September 9, 2009 11:34 a.m.

Ah well, it was a nice place until a few moments ago. Later :)— September 9, 2009 12:27 a.m.

When I taught junior high age kids one summer for a writing workshop, I had them list all of their favorite books. Besides Stephanie Meyers's Twilight series (my adult students love these too), I think many listed Artemis Fowl. Likewise, gringo. And I'm glad to hear the breezes are obliging, and the Scotch is good.— September 9, 2009 12:27 a.m.

I read the Douglas Adams's books when I was about twelve, and don't remember much either. Anti's comment just sparked something. There was a robot who bemoaned that fact that he had a brain as big as a planet, but nobody understood him or took advantage of his smarts. There was a spaceship traveling around with all of the public telephone sanitizers and hairdressers on earth, because they were deemed to be useless, and the captain of the ship stayed in his bathtub for years. The dolphins inexplicably took off, leaving a note saying "So long, and thanks for all the fish..." End memory.— September 9, 2009 12:19 a.m.

Ok, I am refraining from copy and pasting here the first three paragraphs, but I LOVE THEM. Was wondering how you folk are faring down there, and hoping you'd take off to some of your beachfront property and cool off. It's been hot enough without air conditioning on Banker's Hill, and we do have those breezes off the bay! Here's to Jimena, dear refried xoxoxo— September 8, 2009 11:50 p.m.

Well, Arthur Dent, after intergalactic travel, changed the fate of the universe by eating a small moldy item in his fridge. Busy, busy, busy.— September 8, 2009 11:43 p.m.

A Hot Tub, A Stripper, and An Escort
Great sentence: "She mirrored Royalty as they smoked and talked in a barrage of ticks that had no correlation to the real time occurring around them." So they were smoking crack?! Yeah, talk about awkward! Nudity doesn't freak me out at all, but that certainly would bother me--not to mention that if the cops busted in, you could have been dragged into it. So what was up with the zits? Is that a symptom of crack use? :)— September 7, 2009 6:01 p.m.

Oh, forgot to mention for those gents who've mentioned serious beer: I love beer too, all the really 'hoppy' ones that smell like flower fields. Love Stone brews in particular, (Arrogant Bastard, Stone Pale, etc. etc. excepting their funky chocolate oatmeal stout). One we have not tried is Alpine, a small microbrew a guy apparently makes in his garage--in Alpine--have read about it in Food & Wine, and Riviera, I think. People are mad for it, and this guy can't keep up with orders. Anyone tried it yet?— September 7, 2009 5:46 p.m.

Joe, looks delicious! I saved your recipe to try sometime (am calling it "Red Sangria Tikicult." :) I don't think I'll omit the berries, as raspberries and strawberries sound wonderful in a red sangria... It is sure to go perfectly with my well-deserving but non-award winning avocado enchiladas with cilantro crema or yes, magics-- fish tacos. Mmmm. Summer's not over yet!— September 7, 2009 5:42 p.m.
