Two kinds of people 1
When asked by the robo-voice after listening to a phone message if they want to kill it or save it, some people ask themselves "What if I need to refer to this at a later date?" Others kill with abandon.
I sort of envy him
A friend of mine just started watching "The Sopranos." After all these years. He said he is enjoying it. He is an Italian American and I suggested the HBO series didn't exactly depict that ethnic community in a multi-dimensional way. But my friend said he…

"The Flying Newsroom" 5
http://dc.wikia.com Jimmy Olsen doesn't seem to be carrying a notebook. But perhaps it is in his front pocket. Or maybe the Flying Newsroom, piloted by Jumbo Jones, is fully stocked with journalistic supplies. Does that helicopter look safe to you?
Twenty years ago in newspaper movies
http://rupertpupkinspeaks.com A lot of this was ridiculous. But the 1994 movie did strike one realistic note with the portrayal of a newsroom staffer obsessed with the possibility that someone might steal his special chair.
Did you see Alice Cooper on June 22, 1975?
http://www.alicecooperechive.com/tourdates/index.php?date=welco No reason. Just wondered. I liked a few of his songs. And I always got a kick out of how open he was offstage about how utterly, golf-playing normal he was in real life.

Recalling Dorothy James Dean
Seeing a reference to Dorothy Dean in the Food section today reminded me of this Slice item from 2007. It's the one that starts "Many happy returns." To fully appreciate it, you need to take note of the publication date. http://m.spokesman.com/stories/2007/apr/01/the-slice-civic-pride-on-hold-until-2012/
The Wednesday Slice question 1
This one is for those who didn't grow up in Spokane or anywhere near here. You know how many people in our area seem to think nothing of driving over to Seattle? Well, if you applied that one-way distance to potential trips in more densely…

Yet another old beer can... 3
...from a defunct brewery in Spokane. www.beershowcase.com I have been told that guys who worked there could have a beer at lunch. Have you ever worked somewhere that allowed free samples of the product?

Discover your "Star Trek" name
http://www.quizopolis.com/star-trek-name-generator.php If you enter "Spokane Washington" and click on "male," it says you are "A'trom," a Klingon. "Paul Turner" gets you "Koss, a Vulcan." But this might be less than pure science. I know. You're shocked. I did some repeat entries and suspect the name/identity…
Tracking automobilists 7
www.autoblog.nl A bike-riding friend who lives in Minnesota likes to track the erratic, dangerous misadventures of people driving cars. He refers to them as "automobilists." I suspect this is in response to the way those who hate bike riders sneeringly use the word "bicyclist." That…
