6/3     I notice a lot of foreigners say "Oiii." Is that our equivalent of
        "hey" or "dude"?
        \_ It's spelled "Oy!"
        \_ Do you mean the French for "yes"?
           \_ that would be "oui"
        \_ I believe it's the Japanese.
        \_ Aussies, Brits, and the occasional Kiwi say "Oi." Mel Brooks says
           "Oy."  Japanese punks say "Oiii."  In the first and last, it's like
           our "hey!" but in the second, it's more like "oh, brother."
        \_ I like "aiya!". Even the blacks, hispanics and whites say it
           at the poker card club
           \_ That one gets a lot of international play: aiyaiyai, or aiya,
              either way.

        Japan rules!
        \_ Fifteen years ago I worked there for seven months.  I miss Japan!

           - Besides cold drinks, vending machines also carry hot drinks like
             hot tea and corn soup.  And they are actually hot instead of warm.

8/29    OC turning liberal, maybe there is hope for CA afterall:
        http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/30/us/politics/30orange.html
        \_ and the state is slowly turning conservative. Meg 2010!
           \_ We will see. Seems unlikely.
        \_ Yeah, because CA sure has a problem with not enough dems in power!
           If only dems had been running the state for the last 40 years!

7/20    Is jblack still on? What about the rest of the pro-war cheerleaders?

        \_ War is fought for the glory of generals and the economics of the
           war machine.  Looking for "justifications" for it is like looking
           for sense in the necronomicon.  Just accept it and move on.
        \_ When we fight with Red China, what nation will we use as a proxy?
