feet in two camps tailor. he likes the old movies and at least one of the new series and one of the stand alone movies. he dislikes the newest three movies with rey and kylo ren and others in the new series. ive watched many of his criticisms of them and can see where he's coming from.

words and phrases just like that danik, but I was referring to your actual google home page. I tried looking around to see if google still has that as a setting and I couldn't find it, so maybe its a thing of the past or only temporarily available at certain times of the year.

"google home page": iGoogle is gone, but I use the similar igHome https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=ighome&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 as my news, et al, portal. I have 27-panels on one "page" which I customized to include a Shredder chess puzzle and hangman game... of which 7-panels, including Drudge, are only good for linking to their home pages, which I still access at least once a day.

As an aside, before I read this post I was reading some California health care services papers which is partially printed in Arabic, Armenian, and Cambodian (prolly others but I may have trashed them already) and was pondering if I could get my copies in Quenya (High Elvish) or Klingonese.

"WOW! This is me at age 16. I will be 82 in March 2023. We made this in February 1958. It's amazing that all these years later people still remember it, it's still being played, and even young kids know it."

its hard to tell from the photo danik because I had to shrink it so much, but the statue purposely doesn't have a recognizable face on it that we can probably take as coming from the line "wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door. who is it for? all the lonely people..."

[Danik 2016]

You are right, bounty, there is actually a sequel to the first film, the only one I watched. According to Wikipedia:
"Blade Runner 2049 is a 2017 American neo-noir science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green.[10] A sequel to the 1982 film Blade Runner, the film stars Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, with Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Dave Bautista, and Jared Leto in supporting roles. Ford and Edward James Olmos reprise their roles from the original film. Gosling plays K, a Nexus-9 replicant "blade runner" who uncovers a secret that threatens to destabilize society and the course of civilization."

cowboy cat - a nonsense tanka poem

my cowboy cat breathes
ever so slow, wide and worn
a full ten gallon
its furry creases so swell
when hunting it purrs aloud

7/18/2022


cowboy cat rides again
lasso loosely jouncing on his saddle horn
cowboy cat full of puss and vinegar tests
his latent prowess of roping on the run
against wildlife scattering on the prairie

his worthy ram steed cutting with the
game helter-skelter in a matching of wits
as cowboy cat gathers his lasso in a twirl
tossing a dart to the heel of a buck hare

as it upends in a rush of dust in front of
three, no four! prairie dogs who bolt to
their holes and the security of dens await-
ing the night before venturing out again

cowboy cat quickly dismounts his steed
and proceeds to tie the stricken legs of
the hare with a flourish extraordinaire !
then grinning, releases his worthy foe
