Too many goofy conspiracy theories. After 20 years I'm out.

What are some of the things A Man should be able to do? Add to the list. Manly stuff I suck at: Auto mechanics (apart from changing a tire) Carpentry of any sort Plumbing Some stuff I can do: Track lost people in forest areas Ride a horse reasonably well Tell a grizzly track from a black bear track ...

I remove the rubber gasket in the lid and wash in soap and water. That seems to help.

Every once in a while, a friend or associate attempts to do something you know how to do. It's generally something A MAN should know. Like chopping wood for instance. I've chopped innumerable cords of wood. Usually, when visiting male friends see me working, they say let me do it. And I do. There ar...

Sorry about the link. It had conceptual pix of what the temple might have looked like. Here's one more to your liking. It shows Parthenon statues of muscular guys with their shirts off. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/201 ... ng-colours

Thanks for this.

On the Parthenon: some archeologists think it was painted. Which is also cool to contemplate. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/11945940/ns/t ... 0ms2chKiDI

I found the photos in Appetites to be singularly unappetizing.

That's all you got?

I guess what I'm saying is kill yourself.

I tried but it didn't take.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING??? Christ, he's made it all up!! Timmah's mangled run-on sentences plagiarized from old episodes of Gunsmoke has led to this?!? There's some sweaty, pimply-faced, young Hemmingway-Fitzgerald-Ford clone working his ass off writing the greatest shit no one has ever read and here...

You need to up the vituperation.

That's all you got?

Yeah, but it'd make a good Netflix series.

I didn't write the article. Kyle Thiermann wrote the article. Geez.

As for giving folks back their dreams, yeah, I do that. People say to themselves, "Well, if that clown Cahill can do, so can I."

Thanks for reminding me. We are entering fire season. I'll provide weekly updates.....

Did he try to match your story with one about an epic hold-down?

Yes, in fact we had a long talk about that. He's overly modest in the piece. This guy does the big waves at Mavericks, for instance, and Patagonia sponsors his surfing.

An NRA lifetime membership is a great gift for gun haters. I own rifles, shotguns, pistols and revolvers. Nevertheless, I hate the NRA and have never been a member. But, when I lived in San Francisco, a bought NRA stickers to put on my door and windows. Bad guys see those stickers and tthink there'...

Not tomato juice. A 5.7 liter hemi in a Grand Cherokee Overland. I grew up with the growl of a V8. Wanted one as a kid and the first one I had was a 1967 Mustang. It had belonged to a friend who just got out of the Navy. It was stolen and stripped. I bought it for cheap. It ran for 10 years and I go...

Hey, best wishes to all and to your families.

CRUSADER HAD BEES IN THE WALL!!!

I have an old college buddy who was a religion major, specializing in "new religious movements" so after many conversations with him I notice when there's a divergence between what a group considers important and how society describes them. I think your friend is right. But what the group...

Tim, is it true you did a marathon with an extremely good looking Englishman that ended up in hospital and nearly suffocated? Yes. The incredibly handsome Englishman was very lazy and finished the Dublin marathon in less than four hours while I was willing to work at it for a 6 full hours. I was un...

Turns out, as a mod, I do not have the ability to approve or disapprove anyone.

I was struck recently when I read a bit more about Jonestown how so much of the commentary I have seen over the years concentrates on the Christian cult aspects and minimizes to invisibility the devotion to communism. Seems to me the reality was more like hard-core communist dictatorship with a coa...

Jim grew in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. A country kid. Blinded himself in one eye in some careless accident as a kid. He didn't "identify" as an Indian, but there was a good deal of Native American heritage. He fished nearly every day in the summers, hunted birds in season. As far as ...
