COUNTDOWN: 34
Ripley: How do we kill it Ash? There’s gotta be a way of killing it, how, *how* do we do it?
Ash: You can’t.
Parker: That’s bullshit.
Ash: You still don’t understand what you’re dealing with, do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.
Lambert: You admire it.
Ash: I admire its purity. A survivor… unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.
Parker: Look, I am – I’ve heard enough of this, and I’m asking you to pull the plug.
Ash: [Ripley goes to disconnect Ash, who interrupts] Last word.
Ripley: What?
Ash: I can’t lie to you about your chances, but… you have my sympathies.

I picture Holly living in a tall castle with a room built to resemble the inside of a miniature football stadium… she blogs from one endzone and blows kisses to admiring throngs below from the other
And all the restrooms in her castle are marked “Ladies”
but then I am from the South, and we see all ladies upon a pedastal until we get to know them… and notice the leash the devil keeps them on hehe

It’s the w/e. I’m bored & desperate, so I’m watching tivoed College Football Live. Leave it to ESPN to take something as wonderful as CFB and make me not want to watch it.
I was, however, entertained by The Humanitarian’s performance in *gryk* “Rapid Fire.” My admiration for him grew as he reacted to it about how most sane people do. One interesting bit: an archaelogist? Awesome.

Mr Pelican Pants @ 35 – if it hadn’t been for that riot, I might not have graduated. As it turns out, the 2 days I had allocated myself to write a senior thesis weren’t enough, but the extra 4 days I picked up until they re-opened campus did the trick.
Certain so-called friends still claim that I lit up the strip mall at Hoover and Adams pour encourager les autres, but those are scurrilous accusations and you can’t prove anything. Besides, I drove a diesel and do you have any idea how hard it is to make a molotov cocktail with… I’ve said too much.

You know, it would be really really ironic if Illinoize won the MNC
in the next few years.

#52 -
You’re not lying about College Football Live.
I’ve tried twice now and it’s unwatchable. I’m just uncomfortable rough the whole thing, and have had to fast forward during “Rapid Fire” both times too.

Holly says:
I almost did a post about the return of CFB Live last week…and now I’m really, really glad I didn’t. I was thrilled for the first two days just to have football back on the TV screen, but good god did the charm wear off fast.

Out of Hibernation Dept:
Wow! I give the keyboard a rest for the summer and a whole lot of new stuff goes down. Some of the biggest surprises:
a) Holly taking the top spot as the babe of EDSBS (sorry TCOAN);
b) No more Bunda Fridays?!;
c) # 53 – > Riots in LA? No, No, No, No, No! They were “Civil Disturbances”. The perpetrators were not looters, thugs, OG’s or New G’s, but visionary-city-planners-with-an-entrepreneurial-bent types intent on getting rid of liquor stores in the most expedient manner possible.
Other long-time owned family businesses in “South” (not South-Central) Los Angeles that were also burned down were casualties.
The cops were not cowards that fled faster than Frenchmen at the time of need, but patriots that wanted acts of Civil disobedience go on unperturbed. The US Armed forces (no joke here) came in to help restore order.
And, in all of this rioting, I mean civil rights protesting; the USC campus was left alone, unscathed by the ravages and savages (I mean civil disturbers), why?, why?, why? Some mysteries, like why would anyone go to the can right after Weis, Mangino or Beano Cook dumps a load, are beyond me.

DC: Hoover at Adams? That’s right in my old stomping grounds. I lived on Severence Street for 4 years.
Welcome back SLKM, I’d wondered what happened to you.

DC Trojan says:
OC Phil @ 58 – As did I, junior and senior year. Proximity to Hoover and Adams was how we knew to bail during the riots – when the locals ignited the video rental place there for the second time in 12 hours, the shit hadn’t just hit the fan, it was coming back off.

thanks OC Phil…I’ve been around, just trying my hardest not to think too much about college football while the awful Dodger dog days of summer go slowly by….

DC: If you stayed put until the corner of Hoover and Adams was burning then that either bespeaks foolishness or being hung like Reggin F’n Nelson. I was living in Newport Beach at the time and people down here were chatttering about rumors of unrest in Santa Ana.
Were you in the honors housing in the Pacific building? That’s were I was my junior and senoir years, that was a good time.
And to bring the discussion thread thread full-circle: It’s the bioweapons division of the company that wants Rey for urban pacification.

OC Phil @ 61 – if you mean the building across the street from the Jewish fraternity, then yes.
As for waiting until Thursday morning to bail, it wasn’t totally clear how bad things were going given the fact that the po-po and the news crews were keeping a safe distance. It was when the University sent word that they weren’t going to vouch for the safety of anyone not in the Student Athletic Center under armed guard, that it became clear it was time to seek pastures new.
