Don't forget the free t-shirt offer.

It's a nice little toy.

I have used the ACTIVATE! technique before my Jumpstretch flexibility drills a few times now. I bitched in another thread how the JS Flexibility routine was doing jack squat for my hamstring flexibility. Thanks to ACTIVATE! I can no longer complain about that. It has really made the JS flexibility ...

A great singer/ song writer, a former boxer, a friend/ protegee of John Prine. I shook his hand once. What more recommendation does anybody need?

Marco! Crusts!! I'm ashamed of you guys!

If you lose your sense of humor then the Zionist Thugs have won!

A top-fermented, allegedly bottle-conditioned (no yeast and not very cloudy) 8.0% stout from the unhappy isle of Sri Lanka. The late Michael Jackson described it in his 2000 review: "Pruney, mocha aromas and flavors; tar-like oiliness of body; peppery, bitter-chocolate finish." He also que...

I concur. Has the original source material ever been published in English?

I don't have my copy near me and can't remember the woman's name but doesn't she state or imply that the original is too esoteric and context dependent for us simple Westerners to un'erstand?

Good Stuff! I pretty much live from October thru March in their long-sleeve, butt-covering tees.

One thing I remember from back in the day, when I had a buncha little kids: money was always tight.

The first post in this thread: Genre: thrillers with a mystical bent. Author: Michael Gruber Titles: "Tropic of Night" and "Valley of Bones" I'd like to recommend Gruber's latest The Book of Air and Shadow , another intellectual thriller. Three narrative threads, a first person n...

Kind of a late reply, but yeah it sucked the big one. For a great zombie novel check out Max Brook's "World War Z." A fun read about as thought-provoking as this sort of thing can be.

I was the Stephenson recommender: don't forget Cryptonomicon published before the Baroque cycle, but subsequent in continuity. In the last two weeks I've read WWZ and the Long Walk. WWZ is a hoot, Max is after all Mel's son. As for the Long Walk, I don't have seeahill's world traveler knowledges but...

I've increased hamstring flexibility in some of my clients by over 12inches in 1 session while only stretching the hamstrings minimally. Dude, you look pretty beefy, so please don't take this personally, but for the sake of all that's holy, please don't say 'my clients' here. Sounds too much like Z...

Lie-mans: Remember the post that started this thread, Thu Apr 20, 2006 5:01 pm? Genre: thrillers with a mystical bent. Author: Michael Gruber Titles: "Tropic of Night" and "Valley of Bones" Mak tha Clawhammer might particularly enjoy the discussion of Christianity in Valley of Bo...

DartH:

I don't know where to rate it as a post-apocalypse survival manual, but it was certainly thought provoking-- spurring meditations on:

the parent/child, particularly father/son bond

survival as a metaphor for salvation, grace vs. acts

other existential crap

Read Cormac McCarthy's The Road in one sitting, that must be a sort of reccommendation of itself. I'm suprised that a certain world class travel writer of our acquaintance champions McCarthy and dismisses Gene Wolfe. They have a very similar style-- latinate and convoluted; even an erudite dude like...

Read Ubik by Philip K. Dick recently. Good mix of trash, humor, and thought provoking stuff. Highly recommended. Reading A Scanner Darkly now, after checking out that movie. The movie was pretty cool (especially Woody Harrelson), but the book is much funnier. Years ago, when I was an editor at Roll...

Just finished A Confederacy of Dunces . It's very good, and very funny. Quicksilver, by Stephenson was fun, reading the second one now. Heartily recommend A Confederacy of Dunces . I reread last winter and it was as good as it was twenty some years ago which can't be said for many comic novels. The...

Write an article, Comrade.

I just gave my younger son, 22, Art of War and the Book of Five Rings to address some of the deficiencies in his education.

Read Valley of Bones aand am working on Night of the Jaguar, Tropic of Night was checked out of the library.

Did I find V of B profound? No. But I found it thoughful and interesting. thanks for the tip off.

At last, something to which all IGXers can agree.

There's a suprising amount of imports available in my area. Jungle Jim's International Market boasts: • More than 800 international beers and micro-brews • More than 400 U.S. microbrews from 66 producers • All the popular national brands • Seasonal micro-brews, collector beers • Rare monas...

I just laid an old tire in a basement corner and stuck the end of an old six foot standard bar into it.
