929: Believe It or Not!

[littlp]

I love street view. I especially love it because they caught my dad mowing the lawn and glaring at them.

I like street view, it's damn useful if you use mapquest/google maps for it's intended purpose, to find where the fuck your going. you can see where your looking for and not rely on landmarks or signs that may not be there or easily visible to someone not familiar with the area. it also comes in handy when i go downtown to see if there is parking readily available in the area.

i bet half the people that bitch this is invading their privacy are the same people that say their facebook/myspace/twitter and all content they post on them are invading their privacy.

People who care THAT much about privacy, definitely have somthing to hide. I like the streetview feature. Who cares if there are pictures of me, only paranoid Alex Jones type nutjobs worry about that.

And if you get caught cheating on your wife/partner that way... well you're an idiot and you deserve any shit you get.

The street view image of my street was taken two summers ago, and when you access my address the building next door is the one that actually comes up. So the age of the image and the lack of accuracy doesn't give me any worry about how someone might "use" this technology to stalk someone, etc. No one can spy on you by seeing a two year old photo of your house. Shrug. I don't think it's that big of a deal.

You made this up.

I think Hicks actually made the music on his. I could be wrong. At least some of the songs were written and performed by him I think?

Here's what I found on wikipedia.

The music

Several of Hicks's albums are unique in that they feature background music, meant to enhance the album's mood. Such additions were made well after the initial recordings and are the product of Hicks's own musicianship.[1]
Upon learning that he had developed cancer, Hicks used his time to mix music into Rant in E-Minor and Arizona Bay, calling it his Dark Side of the Moon. [2]

No. There's music in Arizona Bay and Rant in E Minor (Guitar played by Hicks and Other instruments by Kevin Booth). In Doug Stnhope's "Something to take the Edge Off" there is a guitar player named Henry Philips who plays music as a background for the jokes. Why should i make this up?

Him and his pal Kevin Booth. There used to be also a cd, sold on the sacred cow website years ago, that contains a bunch of songs performed by them as "marblehead Johnson" (they did the song "wizards have landed" on "rant..."). I don't think it's in stock anymore, but it's probably on ebay.

Oooooh, sexy!!

The main purpose of binding the feet was to break the arch of the foot which ultimately left a crevice approximately two inches deep in the foot which was considered most desireable. It took approximately two years for this process to reach the desired effect, hopefully a foot that measured three or three and one-half inches toe to heel. This perfect size was called the Golden Lotus. While footbinding could lead to serious infections, possible gangrene and were generally painful for life, contrary to many false tales the girls/women were able to walk, work in the fields, climb to mountain homes from valleys below.

The women's necks don't break when you take the rings off. The muscle may have atrophied and so they are weaker than before, but no bones break. This woman wrote about how she decided to remove her rings and now the other villagers say she is "useless" and "ugly."
