I voted for Styx Come Sail Away!
On My Christmas List
Thought you all might appreciate this. Can't imagine why... ;) !
As the year winds to a close....
...it may be time to reflect that while most of us are not large, bearded Kansasian violinists, we are all dust in the wind.

Anyone watch Anthony Bourdain?
"MY WORST HOLIDAY EVER WAS TO...
St Bart's - it is the epicentre of evil. If Lenin or Marx ever saw who really runs this world - and what they do for fun - they would never have become socialists. They would simply have killed themselves from despair and revulsion. Caligula would have been shocked. It is so awful as to be beyond parody. After my week on St Bart's, I crawled under my bed, adopted the foetal position and just lay there whimpering for days."

Licorice
I've tried these; the ammonia taste is for real.
Ahhh, to have lived in 1924
I was just reading an article about how in 1920, you could buy a child's chemistry set containing ammonium nitrate (the primary ingredient in fertilizer bombs like the one that took out Oklahoma City), potassium nitrate (for making gunpowder), sodium cyanide (think spy suicide capsules), sodium hydroxide (lye), and lead acetate (lead-based sweetener for making candy). I was born in the wrong century I think.

Monday Morning Fluff
How are we supposed to get ANYTHING done with stuff like this lying around?
BTW, I have appreciated the flurry of Blog posts, especially the Tim and Ian show of last week.

Booze is recession-proof
I prefer to think of drinking beer as a low level search for God.
Ian on Monkeys from outer space and Ohio
Ian Gallanar: Kids are much easier to write exposition for. You just have a character say the way things are, and kids usually accept it. Then you quickly move on. A character can say, "I'm a monkey from outer space," and the kids say, "Okay, he's a monkey from outer space, what now?" Meanwhile adults want you to be tricky. If I want the audience to know that a character's from Ohio, it can take a while before you can get to that. They can't just say "Hi, I'm from Ohio" because adults would think, "Why is he saying he's from Ohio? He must not be from Ohio." My friend Eric is moving to Ohio by the way.

Oh boy...what a Dave Barmy
I especially like the bling, the mullet and the manboob pecs on his avatar.

Jeff Magee's Big Brain
AND....one last one
and one last one only because I remember this expression on Joe's face so well. I must have seen it a thousand times when we were in high school and college- it's Joe pretending to smile at something that someone else said that they think is hilarious- but Joe thinks is not very funny at all- but is smiling sort of politely- but if you know Joe, you know he's just internally shaking his head and thinking "what an idiot!"

Movin' On
My lovely wife Cheryl has accepted the position of VP for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College at Hiram College in Ohio.
http://news.hiram.edu/?p=1543
She will be starting in June, so we will be moving to the metro-Cleveland area this spring. We have just agreed on a sale price for a house in Chagrin Falls (pictured above-dumpster not included). Cheryl will have a 20 minute commute to the Hiram campus. Not sure what I'll do, but I'm not worried about that. The Cleveland area does have more employment possibilities than the entire state of WV, I think I can find something interesting.
Cheryl and I arrived in Morgantown in the summer of 1985. This will be an exciting move for us.
So, there is a future Tabishland meeting possibility in the Western Reserve, not far off of the Turnpike and close to a major city. There is plenty of space, but no pool.

Speaking of forehead tatoos, who else is in? Ah dare ya.
And Finally....
...the best picture of Dave Tabish ever taken...ever. (and finally another tie!) And now, back to work,

No Tie, No Pact with the Devil
Sadly, Dave has become terminally depressed and only wears button up sweaters, plays solitaire, and shuffles around the house in his slippers saying to Irene "goddamn it, where did you put my tapioca? "
Rehab
Is it just me or does this look like a picture from a fancy brochure for an expensive and highly sought after rehab clinic? "Dr. Ginger Gene has been head of the Autumn Meadows Rehabilitation Clinic for political figures addicted to clothes shopping since 1998" No tie- and again, devil pact? or no devil pact?
Jennie Made a Pact with The Devil
okay, no tie- but, um, doesn't she look, like thirty in this picture? It must have been a pact with the devil!
Having More Fun Than Any of Us
From the stage version of the movie Meatballs- still, no tie.
I Swear to God!
It's really hard to see, but I swear to God Kim's wearing a tie in this picture.
Wait- this is much better! (but still no tie)
Again, No Tie- what are these guys, anarchists?
Joe in Prague working on the first avant-garde reality tv show for Fox. Well, Fox Searchlight.
One of These Things is Not Like The Others
He completely ruined my "guys with ties" series. But doesn't this picture look like the back inside flap of a thrilling (yet slightly raunchy) spy novel?11.11.2008

I personally find this fairly unique and, at the end of the day, and with all due respect, think it's not rocket science

a friend of mine forwarded this on to me today- I thought I would share it with ya'll.
