Choice Chunks from the Chalice of Reeks

Sean Spicer is historically and contextually correct. He is NOT being a "Holocaust denier". Der Fuhrer did NOT drop gas bombs or fire gas missiles, such as was done in Syria.

The Germans DID use gas in enclosed spaces to exterminate Jews wholesale, and against Russians in caves. That is not what was done in Syria.

One of these things is not like the other. To use the Holocaust as a mere political tool to beat up a political opponent dishonors the memory of the millions slaughtered in the Third Reich, and cheapens the horror of what was done in the Second World War.

Mercury in retrograde?
Maybe the transmission needs work.

Watching Rodan on Svengoolie.
I'm convinced that Marvin Miller does some of the dubbing. Of course, Keye Luke, Paul Frees and George Takei, but Miller's voices are pretty unmistakable.

Found comment from a Swiss citizen:
"We Swiss are the government. We do not allow our civil servants to forget that, as some people who imagine they are still free do."

"Consent of the Governed"
What are you consenting to?

When you check into a hotel, it takes 24 hours for YOUR personal biome to assert itself in your room. But it DOES.
This SHOULD be a comfort to those of us who travel incessantly.

( The microbes that live with you in YOUR home environment. Your micro-environment...you carry it with you. When you move into a hotel room, your biome asserts itself, and overwhelms the previous person's bio-leavings.
The territory, she is bio-marked.)

I made French onion soup. Used butter and bacon grease to saute the onions.
Oh, mercy.
My only regret is not having a bit of sherry to add.

Also, it appears that the use of the word "empathy" is to one-up those with "sympathy".

A friend has brought up a Thing in my noddle.
Why is it when a person expresses annoyance or disgruntlement, why do people feel the need to jolly him or her up? Why must it all be smiles and giggles?

I would rather squeeze an apple for juice than use a product called "JUISIR".

Oh, NHK.
When did "kawaii" turn into "bag lady"?
(Seriously. Grown women sporting "couture" that screams "My 2-year-old mugged me with Lisa Frank stickers!".)

Watching 1967's "The Champions" at the shop whilst printing.
Really can't stand Peter Wyngarde (ep 2 heavy).
OTOH George Murcell in ep. 3 (I suspect that the SUPERCAR sculptors used his face for Prof. Popkiss).

HEY, OLD GUYS.
If you are going to quote something from a classic show or movie to exhibit your being a fan,
GET THE QUOTES RIGHT! If it's wrong, it's not a quote, and, well, you look like AN OLD GUY!

They got Smith so right, and The Robot so wrong.

From Randall Schanze, the most pellucid contrast of Star Treks TOS and TNG:
"Pick anyone from TOS, I'd love to have lunch with them and hang out. Pick nearly anyone from TNG, and I would not."

May you all have a blessed Good Friday, and an even MORE blessed Easter Sunday!

I believe in one God the Father Almighty,

Maker of heaven and earth,

And of all things visible and invisible:

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God,

Begotten of his Father before all worlds,

God of God, Light of Light,

Very God of very God,

Begotten, not made,

Being of one substance with the Father,

By whom all things were made;

Who for us men, and for our salvation came down from heaven,

And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary,

And was made man,

And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.

He suffered and was buried,

And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures,

And ascended into heaven,

And sitteth on the right hand of the Father.

And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead:

Whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost,

The Lord and giver of life,

Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son,

Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified,

Who spake by the Prophets.

And I believe one Catholick and Apostolick Church.

I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins.

And I look for the Resurrection of the dead,

And the life of the world to come.

Amen

He is risen.
He is risen, indeed!
