“I was only in the A's and didn't see either the Grateful Dead's "American Beauty" or the Allman Brothers at Filmore East. Weak list.”
SirOtter replied on Nov 25, 2009 at 11:11:38
“The Allman Brothers is on it, listed by album name. Yes, American Beauty does belong, and no doubt will be there one day. I can't call any list weak that remembers nearly forgotten classics like Goodman's 'And the Angels sing' with Ziggy Elman's magnificent trumpet solo. The world is full of lists that celebrate the recent with no reckoning of the glories of the past. What's not to love about a list that preserves a showcase for King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Bo Diddly and Billie Holiday?”

“It's not just parenting that Americans are underachieving in. They eat like seven year olds the day after Halloween. They believe in all kinds of fairy tales like the teabagger lies. They watch way too much TV, and believe everything they see on it. They lose their jobs and homes, but just sit there going "waaah!" while the government enables the mega wealthy laugh all the way to the bank. A nation of third graders.”

Best Places For Smokers Traveling Abroad: A Top-10 List
Commented Nov 01, 2009 at 23:55:04 in World
“I live in China. If you are a man, China is smoker's paradise. Almost no women smoke, but 67% of the men do. That's about 2/3! You can smoke virtually anywhere, except buses, trains and planes. Even though airports are "smoke free" I've seen guys hanging outside the packed smoker's lounge with the door wide open puffing away. A blind person would know they were on a Chinese airline, just by listening to the passengers cough. Smoke in the hospital, in the store, etc. To their credit, most guys refrain from puffing in the store. It's a government run business, so you get a pretty weak anti smoking campaign from the health authorities. Also, over 60% of doctors smoke.”
thefooligan5 replied on Nov 02, 2009 at 08:07:47
“And correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall hearing that the Chinese government was subtly forcing people in a certain province to start smoking to help prop up the government run tabacco company. That is quite remarkable.”

“I live in tropical South China, and I have seen people using umbrella hats, usually outside workers or folks on bicycles. They're great for portable, hands free rain protection. And people here have a different concept of dorkiness.”
quiviran replied on Oct 24, 2009 at 12:08:03
“I disagree. In South China, they have no concept of dorkiness whatsoever. And that's a good thing, because ones' concept of dorkiness leads to rejection of perfectly valid ideas just because of appearance.”
jrsightes replied on Oct 23, 2009 at 23:11:48
“The problem with the umbrella hat is that it was pre-empted by the invention of the plastic poncho, which costs 50 cents, can be kept in your back pocket, and provides much more complete protection from the rain. And doesn't make the wearer look like a goofball.”

“It actually isn't uncharted at all. Alexander the Great, Great Britain (twice), and the Soviet Union all got their asses kicked there. And there are countless failed attempts at battling insurgencies in occupied nations from Viet Nam to Algeria. Anybody bothering to read history will see that the charts have been written over and over forever.
Danger from "terrorists" will always be there. It can come from anywhere, from Afghanistan to Tulsa. The best way to combat it is through good intelligence, not occupation and firepower.”

“The salaries are varied. I teach at a high school and make more than my friends who work at tee University. Some schools provide housing, which varies in quality. If you are good at teaching, and the students and school like you, you can negotiate for a better contract and shop around. Get online. There are tons of headhunter sites. A good school should reimburse you for your flight, provide housing, travel money, insurance, deal with and pay for your visa. You can moonlight by tutoring privately in your home, too.”
