Chef suddenly could > become a dippy Hare Krishna, and move to India. Something ironic like > that. Personally I think the South Park guys have a curious definition of (in)tolerance: apparently either you're comfortable with *any* amount of satirical poking and prodding at religion, or you *can't* accept any of it, lest you be regarded as a hypocrite when you object to your own beliefs being poked and prodded at. I mean, Scientology's a crock of ridiculous shit, true - but Stone and Parker could have been a bit more gracious. So Hayes decided he'd had enough - that's his right, isn't it? - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 13:55:21 -0500 From: "Bachman, Michael" Subject: RE: reap: Chef - -----Original Message----- From: owner-fegmaniax@smoe.org [mailto:owner-fegmaniax@smoe.org]On Behalf Of Eb Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 1:30 PM To: fgz Subject: Re: reap: Chef >>> Stone told The AP he and co-creator Trey Parker "never heard a peep >>> out of Isaac in any way until we did Scientology.

My thought was that maybe they'd just use old voice tracks and have Chef saying increasingly inane and out-of-context stuff. However they handle it, it has the makings of primo South Park stuff... - -Rx ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 14:54:27 -0500 From: "Brian Nupp" Subject: Chef #5: Use a 'Speak n' Spell' voice! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 13:39:24 -0800 From: Eb Subject: reap Miss Deaf Texas Struck by Train, Killed AUSTIN (AP)- The reigning Miss Deaf Texas died Monday afternoon after being struck by a train, officials said. Tara Rose McAvoy, 18, was walking near railroad tracks when she was struck by a Union Pacific train, authorities said. A witness told Austin television station KTBC the train sounded its horn right up until the accident occurred. McAvoy, who had been deaf since birth, won the state title in June and represented the state "with dignity and pride," state pageant director Laura Loeb-Hill told The Associated Press via e-mail Monday night. McAvoy was to represent Texas at the Miss Deaf America pageant this summer, Loeb-Hill said. McAvoy graduated last year from the Texas School for the Deaf, attended Austin Community College and then started at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., in January, but had returned to Texas, Loeb-Hill said. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 16:06:45 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: Re: reap On 3/14/06, Eb wrote: > Miss Deaf Texas Struck by Train, Killed > > AUSTIN (AP)- The reigning Miss Deaf Texas died Monday afternoon after > being struck by a train, officials said. > > Tara Rose McAvoy, 18, was walking near railroad tracks when she was > struck by a Union Pacific train, authorities said. > McAvoy graduated last year from the Texas School for the Deaf, attended > Austin Community College and then started at Gallaudet University in > Washington, D.C., in January I should have better taste than to amend the last paragraph "...but none of these schools taught that walking on railroad tracks was a very bad idea," but apparently I don't. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2006 12:23:27 +1300 From: James Dignan Subject: Re: earworm hair > > Best hair never brought to trial still has got to be Radovan >Karadzic - what >> is it with mass murder and lustrous, healthy-looking hair? > >Interesting point.

It was a lifelong wish fulfilled, to see Ray play it. And it was darn great. That whole section from "20th Century Man" through "Dead End Street" was worth the price of admission ($29). I could have left at the intermission and been happy, though then I would have missed the one other special gem left in the setlist, "A Long Way From Home." It's a full band show, though there are acoustic segments and smaller configurations of players. Ray was in great shape and did everything with zeal and flair. He's very into all the material: the old warhorses, the new stuff, the nicely chosen "connoisseur" pieces. I'd prefer a little less Ray-induced singalongs - I mean, at this point of his career, everyone is singing every word anyway, so it's sort of superfluous - but that's just me nitpicking, and the Kinks have always done singalongs. I loved seeing Ray for the first time several years ago, at the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville on one of the STORYTELLER jaunts, but I liked this show much better. The crowd was so into it that they coaxed at least one extra encore out of Ray, and when I left they were still cheering for Ray to return, even though the equipment was being carted off. Oh, and thinking of a Jill Brand post from ages ago about what Kinks fans look like: Lots of women there who look like Jill (based on the photographic evidence I've seen of her), lots of men who are shaped like me.
