“Watching the Ramones movie END OF THE CENTURY. Got to the part where Joey died. Sad. Johnny remains a dick to the end.”

A great movie. Sad end, i agree. - Chris Baskind
My friend Jon said he met Joey in Atlanta at one of the used record stores as he was poring through bins. I can see that with his OCD, wanting to look at every single record in the store. - Dave Slusher

“Anyone reading this have any experience creating molds of a clay sculpture and reproducing via plaster of paris? I'm wondering about the feasibility of this approach, and the durability of the results.”
Friday at 4:42 pm - Link
I've done a bit of molding and casting, but the real experts in the family are my Dad and brother who run a business manufacturing fish replicas. They do a LOT of the moldmaking. I can check with them for how well it might work or better alternatives. - J Wynia
If you're looking for durability, you might want to look at a product called Winterstone, which I've tinkered with in the past. It gets used for outdoor sculptures quite a bit. However, I didn't use it to cast anything, which would require a different mixture than the way I used it. - J Wynia
I did a lot of research when I was interested in making "vinyl" toys. I assume you're using Sculpey and going to bake it? That will be fine. The mold material choice is trickier. Silicone is easy to work with. But it depends on what material you're casting and how many copies you want to make. The "hollow" style PVC toys I was looking at doing were done via spincasting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S... - Paul Reynolds
I would probably lean away from casting plaster of paris- there's other plasters better for casting. Then again, depending on your sculpture, it may be fine. - Paul Reynolds

Thanks for the update, Dave! I'm going to head over to Tony's site and dump some coin in this weekend...I very much dig Morning Stories. I also agree that the "macropayments" idea is the way to go. - Ken Kennedy

This is how to achieve a fascist police state in three simple steps: 1) Determine there is a threat so profound that any cost is worth paying to fight it. We tried drugs, that didn't take but now terrorism is it. 2) Define every single thing you don't like as that heinous thing and pay any cost to fight it. 3) Erect a giant Stalinesque, Husseinesque statue of yourself! - Dave Slusher

Watch this later. I used to see Sonny Landreth at the Grant Street Dancehall in Lafayette LA with some regularity. I miss those days. - Dave Slusher
Sonny is so great, I really loved his shows with John Hiatt. Nice performance in Big Lebowski as well- Smokey! Great artist. - Nice Fish Films
That was Jimmie Dale Gilmore, I do believe. - Dave Slusher

Sci Fi Lab page from Ga Tech. Come on y'all, why not create an RSS feed for this and make it a podcast? I know from Ga Tech, there are literally thousands of people that could do this for you in under 20 minutes walking by your window every day. - Dave Slusher

“I really hate the way it is so frequently stated that "X people are downloading podcast Y every month." Almost certainly they mean that the show is downloaded that often per month, which means that on average they have X/number of shows different people listening.”

“So let's assume that the market for pharmaceuticals holds steady, and that no pharma co goes out of business. If you buy some MRK stock right now, just the dividend yields 5.3% . Pfizer is 7.3%. It's not as safe as a bank, but banks are no longer safe as banks.”

“I have an idea to create a goofy, hilarious bit of Subgenius merchandise. I need to 1) figure out what I can make them for and if I can do it cheap enough to sell at enough profit to be worthwhile and 2) what Rev Stang wants for his licensing cut. I'll pay, it counts towards my salvation, right?”

I have to go with 'Hounds of Love' and 'The Whole Story' And I have all of her albums except for the last one. - Derek Coward
I do love the long suite that includes "Wake the Witch", the almost rock opera stretch. I like HOUNDS OF LOVE a lot, I also like the KICK INSIDE a lot. Really, other than LIONHEART I love them all. - Dave Slusher

I went to the Phillie place next to Melons. I've tried a bunch of the mom and pop shops up and down Ocean and Kings Highway and most are mediocre to bad. Ali Babas at 3rd S and Ocean - bleh. The Phillie place has a salad, fries and gyro option that I like. - Dave Slusher
