I saw that. Last time I checked somebody was talking about avocados and someone else was agressively debating who had the smallest penis.

Johnson wrote 900 words on why, in an existential way, reality is so real.

Les Paul was so great he deserves two threads. Even four.

Why don't you check....

well Chris, i read DR and heckle you and Spud via RSS Reader...
i259.photobucket.com

i rarely go the "site", not even this page:
feeds.drudge.com

so, how you arrive and comment on one of my personal DR Bog entries, i have no idea.

i do know something the way things work, though, e.g., i generally never see an entry i make after i post is UNLESS it shows up in my reader... and to do that i guess it has to be "promoted" of something.

i suspect there are more than the three ways i can think of to view DR.

maybe you'd like one of those better than what you're doing now.

and, so, i have no reason to "check" everywhere on this site by some time consuming arcane method before i post on "my" DR blog.

i rarely go TO the "site"
Bog = Blog
i do know something of
of #2 = or
of those better (RSS reader Feed page)
no reason to "check" everywhere = no real need or want
arcane = archaic

uh-oh, i accidentally polluted my own Les Paul obit.

please delete these post (or not).

Les' is both moving and disturbing. It is a sad, sad, day.

i never saw him NYC, i only ever saw him at an LA House of Blues B'day party about 20 yrs, ago.

Thank you, Mr. Paul, for the music and mostly for the guitar and the life it gives me.
