Cornelius makes his own chapbooks from a nice leaf of good writing paper that takes ink well. Any bookbinder can easily make a nice stack of 32 page octavos in four with good, stiff covers for very little indeed.

Taking a bus really isn't cheap anymore. It's not quite as bad as flying, but it's still pricey.
A one-way ticket from San Francisco to Columbus, OH purchased over 21 days in advance would require three transfers, over two days, and cost $108.
Trains aren't much better. They really should be though. True, we're a ludicrously large country, but there's no reason to use buses for long-distance travel that's only going to be following set routes anyway. Trains are faster and more efficient. Buses should only be used as a last-mile solution. Same thing goes for public transit in dense cities. Not to mention shipping goods (in these days of containerization the old arguments that loading and unloading made trains problematic no longer apply).
In some ways the Interstate was one of the worst things we ever did to this country.

Also the rivers can be used more, like I think there are still a few things that are cheaper to barge down the Mississip than all of the above. Though I guess then you run into pollution problems cuz it seems like every piece of the river shipping puzzle was made like sixty years before anyone cared about that...

It really depends on what cities you are coming from and going to, and what dates you're travelling. It seems to me the farther away you are from your destination, the more air travel is more efficient. For instance, a flight from Portland to Detroit on 11/2 of this year is gonna cost like $185 and will take 4 hrs 19 mins. The Amtrak journey from Portland to Detroit will cost $180 and will take about 52 hours. Which choice is the more obvious, for most people?

In my freshman year of college, on the day I moved into my dorm, my roommate listened to "Good Riddance" on repeat for forty-five minutes. I did not ask why, because I did not want to hear the answer.

You're missing the reference here. "Going rogue" no longer means becoming a renegade, but becoming a Sarah Palin acolyte.

Quote:
water intoxication: headache, personality changes, changes in behavior, confusion, irritability, and drowsiness. These are sometimes followed by difficulty breathing during exertion, muscle weakness, twitching, or cramping, nasusea, vomiting, thirst, and a dulled ability to perceive and interpret sensory information. As the condition persists papillary and vital signs may result including bradycardia and widened pulse pressure. The cells in the brain may swell to the point where blood flow is interrupted resulting in cerebral edema. Swelled brain cells may also apply pressure to the brain stem causing central nervous system dysfunction. Both cerebral edema and interference with the central nervous system are dangerous and could result in seizures, brain damage, coma, or even death.

First off yes, drinking too much water can make you thirsty. While gladi's 4000-5000ml over a day probably won't cause severe problems in a healthy adult drinking that much in one go certainly can do, especially for those at higher risk (due to lower body mass, unhealthy kidneys, etc.). It is not recommended that anyone drink above 1 litre per hour. And 2 litres a day is sufficient for most people.

Basically, that was my conclusion, belgand.
The crux of the argument was that Odysseus's entire quest was to return home, right? But upon coming home to Ithaca, and setting his house in order, the dude has to go off and walk into the mainland with an oar on his shoulder until someone asks why he's carrying a winnowing fan. Then he builds a big ol' mound, sacrifices a hecatomb over it, and is able to die a gentle death, away from the sea, surrounded by a prosperous people.
Now, if that's the case, Ithaca can't be his home. So what is it? Everything in Odysseus's life is essentially transitory. And, really, he seems like he's most in his nature when he's out being a lying, murdering son of a bitch on the road.
Now, you compare that to the other heroes that made it home that you see in the Telemachy, like Menelaus, and Nestor. Both the guys don't have exactly the most healthy home-lives, but there is a sense of peace, and comfort in the self. Of self-recognition. Home, Homer seems to say, is that place where you recognize yourself.
So, Odysseus's home is within the state of travel. It's the state in which he is the most himself. That state may not be the healthiest, but I suppose that sort of betrays the general virtue of one's life. Menelaus and Nestor, and Odysseus are judged by the Gods, and their judgement becomes the home that they return to, from the Trojan War.

Okay, very nice; I buy that. It's been too long already since I have been with people analyzing the Iliad and Odyssey to have any reason to pick bones. "What is home" is indeed something I see as one of the more important vague philosophical questions. Whose translations do you like best of the ancient epics? In my book it's Fagles. (I get the distinct feeling I've already asked this question before on Assetbar; it's like I crop up every few months these days and say something arcane or dumb; I should get back into things.)

Fagel is a good read. But he tends to interpret and extrapolate. I do love his Sophocles translations.
For Homer, I read Lattimore. Since Homer is so image driven, I think it's important to have a more literal translator to catch all that nuance that I didn't see in Fitzgerald or Fagel.

In all of the recent story arcs, the conflict has been the impending threat of permanently losing a character. Even the relationship between Beef and Molly is on the chopping block. There's no joy left in creating or expanding -- for almost a year, Achewood's top priority has been preventing catastrophe, but there's no adventure to it, as there was when we thought Nice Pete was going to kill Philippe, or any given past arc. The writing contest was promising but Roast Beef's death got in the way. The recession arc was promising but now it's this bullshit.
The threat of losing a character creates high stakes, but to be continually bombarded by storylines about it is tiresome.

Granularsilica, I thought you might be interested to know that I just took a geology test online where I had to answer questions about silica, and used the "find" feature on my computer to find instances of that word in my text. After the test I opened up assetbar and was going to use the "find" function to see what gladd was up to, but I hit "enter" too soon and saw "4 matches" and thought "wtf who's writing about silica on assetbar", and now I understand just how intensely nerdy your username is.
Man that was a much more interesting story before I typed it out

Apparently Brian Eno smuggled in a tube of his piss to spray on it(well, one of the copies at least). I have to believe that Duchamp would have loved it.

when the spring time winds--
begin to blow again
a joyous bolt it descends
it thrills me in the main
it troubles me though--
that my mood still depends,
so much on outside stimuli,
that i am happy when thing's wet--
yet angered when they dry,
I am worn: like an aged fret
on a beloved guitar.
the finger prints etched:
the song of beauty: from afar
upon closer inspection, however
one can muster only cheap remark:--
nevertheless
i shall use my guitar forever.

No, Philippe! Don't leave me!
Get the FUCK outta my house, you five year old cretin!
I'm just playing the Devil's advocate, also known as a Douchebag.
I'm sorry. I'm just being bitchy.
Had ze devil of morning, oui non?
If I am allowed to make a correction I would say "Had ze deveel of morning, oui non?"
In other words,
More like: (words)
I bet Philippe runs away from Christosaurus Rex.
Let's go ball,
Let's go clock,
Let's go, pair of smelly socks!
Let's go home,
Home to mum,
Let her know I'm still her son.
Goodbye Ray,
Goodbye Teadore,
I hope life without me won't be a bore.
On the bus,
Into the night,
Soon it all will be alright.
Je t'adore, Teadore.
You're just saying that stuff so he won't come back.
'No, I DON'T love you; I don't even LIKE you! Now get OUT of here!'
Then, after the door closes, you collapse.
Is Philippe the closest the bedsit guitarist will ever be to having a son?
Is... is that the saddest thing?
after philippe's tearful goodbye i'm sure an airport security guard will fatally shoot him for trying to bring a baseball larger than 3 ounces and a clock with metal parts aboard an airplane
Dr. Manflesh has mellowed out like the new, calmer Tom Green
yeah the philippe/security fanfic was a possibility, and he left it alone
Philippe looked up with a quivering lip at the burly security guard. The man's large, sweaty hands rested heavily on the young otter's shoulders.
"Sorry, kid." he grumbled, his thick mustache bristling slightly as he spoke. "No unaccompanied minors on the plane."
"Oh no!"
"UNLESS...you pay the extra fee."
Okay I have only now realized the folly of my actions
''Sorry Assetbar''
''Sorry parents''
''Sorry colle-'' oh, wait.

Going Rogue for Kids by Gladi8orrex
Going Rouge for the kids by Gladi8orrex.
Pretty good, but it lacks both scat and reminders of how bad the Star Trek franchise has become. Come back when it has Zachary Quinto finally acting on the fact that he constantly looks like a sex offender throughout the entirety of that deeply upsetting film.
Include Spock Prime for bonus points.
I enjoyed it quite a bit, for a summer-blockbuster type.
How is this the only time in my life that I've run out of lames?
8 chubbies and 3 lames. It's been said before, and I'll say it again: there is something DEEPLY, PSYCHOLOGICALLY WRONG with Assetbar users as a group
It's cheaper than the NAMBLA support group.
Yes, but they get lots of tips .
gladi8orrex went there. everybody always implies, nobody ever goes there, but gladi8orrex went there. and put up a flag of sarkozy lookin silly .
Assetbar people like their chuckles rough.
personally, i like semi-rough chuckles but i don't like them to be anal-raping-the-most-innocent-5-year-old-ever rough chuckles.
I didn't even find this to be a particularly rough chuckle. More of an obvious chuckle. This is the sort of chuckle that just gets casually tossed around while walking down the street for me.
Then again, I also live in a place where the cumbrella is actually useful .
Be glad that images are off or he would have posted pictures.
5 is middle-aged for an otter.

God dammit , Belgand.
i can't believe i clicked that after the whole damn sentence leading up to it was an italicized warning about how gross the picture could be. And gross it was.
Not to mention the article explaining it. There are plenty of other pictures of the act in question, but I decided that if I was only going to link directly to one I'd best go with an action shot.
So does the security guard.
how do i get the lame allotment off!? oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooes
I love you.
Pity it's a bus ticket and not a plane ticket then isn't it?
Thanks alot, Bin Laden.
"Just joking! Blanks, see? Scraps is fine!"
Philippe won't be shot for carrying the luggage because he will be shipped inside the luggage.
Philippe will decide that now he is rich, he'd like to get back to his roots and find out what the life of a wild sea otter is like.
He will disappear off the Carmel coast, perhaps to be filmed by the BBC many years later, a greybeard otter patriarch with generations of descendants....still 5.
I think he'll just go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for the day and fall asleep in the car on the way home.
...and piss himself.
April fools! He's not leaving! Teodor told him to clean his room so he used a suitcase to store things in. He was just out of drawers. Thats it!
why do you have to ruin every surprise? do you like pissing on everyones happiness?
