In the House of the Hangman 992

That’s right. In a debate about the legal rights and protections surrounding a woman’s reproductive system, you cannot say “vagina”. Because it’s just so … icky. And it’s so not Michigan. And the show ends with a “creature report” where we’re told all about the creature in question, which is generally a sea slug or a deep sea tarantula or some other creature about which you will be unable to answer your child’s questions without resorting to Wikipedia. Which means you’ll have to learn something new for a change, you complacent Cheeto eating bastard. Is that a snail in your pocket? “We can imagine scores of bizarro Levinases, little philosopher machines sent into the sensual interactions of objects like planetary rovers. Their mission: to characterize the internal, withdrawn subjectivities of various objects, by speculating on how object–object caricatures reflect possible codes of value and response. Object ethics, it would seem, can only ever be theorized once-removed, phenomenally, the parallel universes of private objects cradled silently in their cocoons, even while their surfaces seem to explode, devour, caress, or murder one another.” So it is with the fox. She or he who has the fox as a soul companion does not live very long. Whatever shame I feel in the face of sovereignty is inseparable from this arousal. In other words, time is a fighter jet, the way spirit is a bone, and the object of my rage secretes the same auratic halo. Like the best philosopher, my soldier subtracts the real from what can be thought and this enhances his allure, makes me love him even more. Translated into military language, the point is not to shoot, but to clarify the shot. So precision bombing has penetrated my poems and yet not even a single one of my feelings is precise, the words even less so. There are only two kinds of jobs available: killing people or Diet Coke. Great, I thought, all in bed. The door was about four inches from closing. I thought, uh-oh, this isn't right, and then, links, associations, newspaper headlines in a dark tunnel. On top of the tarps, they put oatmeal and red Jell-O. A Nokia phone will withstand being steeped in water for a night. It will be fine after being stripped and placed in a cup of rice. It will withstand a two-story fall. And one group of plants “has a neural network that detects a stimulus and finds it funny.” The plant “laughs” by shaking its leaves. The question then arises, what might a plant find funny? The answer turns out to be an inverted light spectrum. Dude. That rocks. I certainly hope that the North Pole Inner Earth Expedition happens.

bottom line ? after that first kiss
- get her on birth control pills
I mean
it s all so simple:

penis in baby out
and
y'all certainly know what Alan Ginsberg said was the most beautiful
word in the English language
he told us while we were sitting at an outdoor cafe table across from City Lights
waiting for Gregory to come down from his ... lee-aison with a 133 year old cutie. 1973 or 4

If the current right has its way we will be saying goodbye to birth control, and it's a good thing for Allen he wasn't in Michigan, or it would have been Kral Majales all over again.

who needs birth control pills
when coat-hangers with-out
anesthetics in a dingy back-alley
garage will become again the norm

as for AG ? a real "know-it-all" ...
never was "my cup of tea" not even if it was
Michigan Gold grown in his own horse-shit!

[john]

I met AG once, didn't especially take to him, but it was in a crowd, so ...

Still, he did write some real deal stuff ...

There are really no recnrdiog limitations with any camera the limitations come from memory cards.SDHC memory cards, by specification, have a maximum storage size of 32GB. The also have a single, continuous (i.e. one long video) size limitation of 4GB per file. That means if you're shooting a really long video and it's size reaches 4GB, the camera automatically continues recnrdiog, but to a 2nd new file. This is because SDHC cards use a FAT32 file system, where 4GB is the maximum size of any single file. Again, these limitations are strictly due to the SDHC format and have nothing to do with a camera (whether it be a T2i or any other brand/model).If you want a bigger card, you have to use the new SDXC memory cards, which based on specs, can hold up to 2TB. However, the largest SDXC memory cards currently available are 64GB and these cards with speeds fast enough for video (Class 6 or higher) run around $500. By the way, the T2i accepts both SDHC and SDXC memory cards.And yes, you simply multiply Canon's specs per the storage limits of your memory cards. If a 4GB card can hold 12 minutes of video, then a 32GB card can hold 96 minutes of video. They are not pulling a fast one , it's just math.
