The Anti-Sonic Burger
"Remember "Little Black Sambo?" That theme was chucked for very obvious reasons, but I remember the menu always had the Uncle Remus story about how maple syrup was 'born.'" Scroll up, Daniels. We beat that topic to death already. Sambo's alive and well, just looking a bit paler these days: http://www.sambosrestaurant.com/ They were still showing those cartoons -- in which Sambo had gone from Indian to black -- when I was little. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSfGvptL_TY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoeXQivjbv4&featur… The cartoon I remember, however, I don't see. He sang a song that went: "I'm Little Black Sambo, Little Black Sambo Dressed in the prettiest clothes. My jacket is red, my trousers are blue..." Aaaand the Wiki link, if anybody's still lost: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_black_sambo— November 5, 2009 10:52 a.m.

Re #45: "Secondly, you would also know that during the 4 hrs the spent in line, in Tucson they missed absolutely nothing." LOL. Both funny and true. "BTW, not everybody who eats fast food is fat and lazy or, no offense intended, has your physique." <snort> There's some 1st Amendment truth for ya. :)— November 5, 2009 10:36 a.m.
SDGE Lobbyist Said to be Innocent, Reinstated
This... Frankly, your argument about the personal Lives of politicians is poorly structured, which leads One to conclude that it is of rather naïve philosophical Origins. Apparently, you are unable to ignore a common Zeitgeist of American politics, and ignore the social policy of Your public representatives. ...is genius, Daniels. :) Arnold and the person/people who wrote his little note for him would be mightily impressed, I'm sure. I'm thinking that this is a whole new linguistic art form that's been invented here. We need a name for this form, whether as simple as "Haiku" or as properly nerdy as "Iambic Pentameter." :)— November 5, 2009 10:31 a.m.

The Scenes of the Crimes
"Stella's entries are incredible, how could you pass them up?" I didn't. Read my comment again. I love to read Pike. The only thing about Pikey's stuff is, it's very internet-specific and link-dependent, and I believe these winners are to be in the print edition, aren't they? I'm not sure how that works, since he was a winner last month. I'm not able to get my hands on a print edition to check it out. Anything by yours truly is also going to be peppered with links. My ADD guarantees it. :) I don't see why not -- IMO, it makes things a lot more informative and interesting to simply SHOW people exactly what you're typing about. Seems a bit backwards and archaic to bother to peck out anything without them, as if you're writing for print -- almost as if it's not appropriate for the medium, ya know? I read a lot of these blogs and think, "Now why wouldn't you include a LINK to that?" Similarly, people have arguments and ask questions here, on the internet, when the ANSWERS ARE RIGHT HERE, ON THE INTERNET. Google, anyone? (Better yet, Dogpile. They support animal charities.) http://dogpile.com/ There's another issue, which is that of grammar and sentence construction. To me, things like blogs and email are informal. I use things like sentence fragments here all the time for effect. It's not "newspaper appropriate," but I'm not writing for a freakin' newspaper, so I don't care. Also, the attention span of the internet user is a consideration. I think that writing for the internet needs to "move" faster. But I'm sure somebody's published a book, or ebook about all this already. I could probably find out on the internet. :)— November 5, 2009 9:46 a.m.

WTF? Now these blogs are not only open to SPAM by churches and travel agencies, they're gonna include 4-line personal ads? What a garbage heap this whole thing is becoming. Wonder if what he's looking for is MALE or FEMALE?— November 5, 2009 9:22 a.m.
