George: Condi! Nice to see you. What's happening?

Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.

George: Great. Lay it on me.

Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.

George: That's what I want to know.

Condi: That's what I'm telling you.

George: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of China?

Condi: Yes.

George: I mean the fellow's name.

Condi: Hu.

George: The guy in China.

Condi: Hu.

George: The new leader of China.

Condi: Hu.

George: The Chinaman!

Condi: Hu is leading China.

George: Now whaddya' asking me for?

Condi: I'm telling you Hu is leading China.

George: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China?

Condi: That's the man's name.

George: That's who's name?

Condi: Yes.

George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China?

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle
East.

Condi: That's correct.

George: Then who is in China?

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Yassir is in China?

Condi: No, sir.

George: Then who is?

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Yassir?

Condi: No, sir.

George: Look, Condi. I need to know the name of the new leader of
China. Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.

Condi: Kofi?

George: No, thanks.

Condi: You want Kofi?

George: No.

Condi: You don't want Kofi.

George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of
milk. And then get me the U.N.

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.

Condi: Kofi?

George: Milk! Will you please make the call?

Condi: And call who?

George: Who is the guy at the U.N?

Condi: Hu is the guy in China.

George: Will you stay out of China?!

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.

Condi: Kofi.

George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.

(Condi picks up the phone.)

Condi: Rice, here.

George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we
should send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East.

Subject: Spam all you want - your ISP will NEVER know
Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2002 10:43:32 -0400

There's a lot of money to be made on the Internet advertising your
products/services. Just count the number of e-mail ads in your own
Inbox.

Most of those advertisers are making money. Even the "Big Boys" like
Microsoft, AOL, and AT & T send out e-mail ads.

Well, there's no reason you can't get in on this, too - but you have to
do so the right way. Mail out from your ISP and your service will be
terminated. Guaranteed. Use one of those inexpensive proxy mailers,
and you'll be lucky to get out 400,000/day. Our proprietary system
gives
you the power to mail out 3m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m, or more per day -
because
you're using our servers and our bandwidth to do it. You get a user
interface so simple, a baby or an 80-yr old grandparent could use our
system with ease. All your lists are encrypted on our servers, so
there's
no risk of us or anyone else appropriating your lists. You don't need
cable or DSL or satellite access. Since our sophisticated Internet
infrastructure is handling everything, simple 56k dial up will do.
High speed Internet
access is a bonus, not a requirement.

And wait till you see our fantastic features. When you upload your
lists to our servers, we compare your lists to our Global Remove
Database and
take out those known complainers BEFORE you bother e-mailing them,
saving
you time and resources. Our stats list the number of e-mails removed,
delivered, and killed. Soft bounces are automatically remailed.

Best of all you know the mail is going out.. No need to trust another
mailer who says he'll mail 5m/day for you at a cost of $400-600 per
million. You've got the stats in front of you to prove the mails are
going out
at rates as low as $22/million.

Sound great? Call one of our 24/7 live sales specialists to get more
details: 1-416-[no way i'm givingout that number]

Don't forget to inquire about our Bulk Email Friendly Hosting. Because
if you're going to
send out bulk email, your site better be bullet proof or else your ISP
will terminate
your website.

This guy has the RIGHT idea...

Although I don't smoke, I have friends that do. I recognize the greedy, unfair, oppressive tax policies of the federal government and states like NY have driven prices up to about $7.00 a pack. It's heartwarming to see our friends, the orginal americans, are coming to the rescue.

At this university data center in the early 1970s, students facing deadlines would sometimes pound on the glass wall to prompt system operator pilot fish to run their decks of punched cards. "There was lots of spare time back then," says fish, "and one evening shift I was using that spare time to clean a rifle." So when one student in a hurry pounds on the glass, fish turns toward him - with rifle in hand. Says fish, "I didn't see him for the rest of the semester."

Shark Tank: Now What?

This was a buffet weekend. Went to a buffet restaurant last night, and wound up going to one tonight as well. We weren't as hungry yesterday, but today this turned out to be the first meal of the day for all of us.

Sunday night: L.A Buffet: (Norhoff across from Northridge Mall, next to Good Earth; I can't count the number of restaurants that have opened in this location and failed, from coffee shops to mini-brewery... But they might actually succeed with this concept.

("Labor Day special") $9.95 for adults, $5.69 for children. Drinks extra (forgot to check for wine/beer license). How about Sushi, Chinese, and Mongolian BBQ in one restaurant? And a regular salad/fruit/jello/pudding bar a la Sizzler.

Bear in mind, I don't expect gourmet food in these places, but after two different visits, I and the family think it's pretty good, and quite
a good value...

Of note: Crab Rangoon, salmon, lobster rolls, pot stickers, siew mai, won ton/hot&sour/egg flower soups, orange chicken, bbq chicken on a stick, Hong Kong Pork, squid, spare ribs, General Tzo's chicken, meatless (I think) lo mein which wasn't bad either - plus they have a minimized Mongolian BBQ (no do-it-yourself oils (I think they add a little) but they have you add "wine", no flatbreads (but I discovered puffy "rolls" that were similar), but tasty and cooked well - You basically have a choice between garlic, curry, or "Mild" - and I noted that the chef was making sure the griddle was very clean.

My wife says the salmon was very good. We don't eat sushi, so I can't vouch, but it looked okay - california roll, maguro, octopus, something else (maybe fatty tuna?). Not ultra desert oriented, they had pound cake with toasted coconut, almond cookies, another kind of light pretzel-shaped cookie, and a soft-serve chocolate/vanilla machine with various sprinkles (jimmie's if you're from Philly) - similar to Sizzler too. Oh, and the jello, puddings, and fruit of course. I was too full to try it, but it looked like they'd done an approximate "taffy banana" kind of thing in a bowl, with red candy-looking stuff on top of bananas.

Tonight's buffet: California City Buffet - $10.69/adults, $.80/year of age for children to age 11. Includes sodas, coffee/tea, milk, and even horchatas. (these are Dinner prices - Brunch and Lunch prices are cheaper).

This place, (NOT in California City, which would have been about 118 degrees today, maybe I should check) next to Chili's on Reseda north of Nordhoff, has been there for a while, and so we finally decided to check it out. A bit more "international" than the LA Buffet (though there was more chinese-style than I expected, otherwise I'm not sure we would have tried it right after the other place), but not quite as exotic either. Salads, jello, puddings, egg-flower and hot&sour soups, a decent orange chicken (sorry, the Panda Express chain seems to have the secret on keeping this stuff fresh-tasting) and a very tasty boneless BBQ chicken that was somewhat similar to the on-a-stick stuff at LA Buffet. Plus, a nice prime rib, pizza (okay - passed Tina's critical test) mashed and roasted potatoes, carrots, corn, rolls, beef ribs (the way Rina's Mom used to make it, marinated in vinegar - I'll try it next time), crab (I didn't taste it), fried rice and lo mein (fried rice was fine, wasn't in the mood for the lo mein after the night before).

This place was not bad, and the thing we really liked: lots of desserts, nice and small: cheesecake pie, pecan pie, pumpkin, carrot cake, chocolate cake, strudels, fruit tarts, cream puffs, cookies, and two machines serving choc/van soft-serve and vanilla and strawberry frozen yogurt (no jimmies, just choc. syrups).

Self-Decoding Messages

ADAM SMITH WRITES:

Finally, the office in which I was working had a set of
English instructions for the phone system that had been typed up by one of
the Japanese in the office. At one point, the instructions were meant to
include the sentence "Hook the phone," meaning (I assume) "hang up the
phone."

The author of the instructions apparently didn't know how to spell "hook",
so I suppose he tried to sound it out. There is no "hoo" sound in
Japanese. The closest is something like "foo", which generally gets
transliterated as "fu". As for the "k" sound, the author apparently
decided that in this case "ck" was more likely to be correct than just
"k".

So the end result of all this was that the instructions contained the
sentence "Fuck the phone." For the Americans in the office, it was good
for about ten minutes of barely-contained laughter.

Not that miniture golf is all that difficult to grasp, but I'm a slow learner sometimes. At least this time around I actually made par on the first hole."

What's more, they make excellent computer nerds, don't try to force everyone to belong to their religion, and have real cool looking religious characters and temples and fun spicy food. When we have arguments with them, we do it talking, not shooting, which apparantly they also do well. And when I starred at a girl in a red and yellow sari last week, I got a big smile back! Why can't we be better allies with these guys instead of sucking up to all those middle eastern human rights abusing un-elected dictators!

I do think more than 1/2 the population of Israel is sephardic, and practically all of them went there to escape terrible treatment in the other middle eastern countries, so she has a point. Remember, most, if not all of them treat there Muslim citizens terribly according to the civil rights reports we get, so how much worse was it for these dudes.

We had to wait about 45 minutes to get seated Saturday night, but the Beef Brisket and Spareribs were delicious - also the baked beans and cole slaw, and fresh half-loaves of bread. Great attentive service too. We had lots of ribs left over for Sunday afternoon. I recommend Dr. Hogly Wogly's Tyler Texas BBQ

I've heard that on weekends you drive up to Santa Maria and in the parking lots of the town, people set up and sell this: Santa Maria Style BBQ

I've had it in restaurants in LA and it's pretty good there - what it's like up there, I've just heard stories....

I'm not listening to the same radio stations you are...

If it's not a weekday, I tend to listen to oldies music.
If it's a weekday morning, I listen to Jamie and Danny because
they're addictive and sometimes they're unbelieveable, as in Danny wondering aloud how come his wife didn't
"squirm or complain" when he first attempted "the back door" - they were MUCH MORE explicit about this
than I am, because I'm chicken...

I have accepted your invitation to the blog, Punjab. As you might have said in a former day, some days you eat the cheesesteak, now days you dream of it while stuck in traffic as the cheesesteak eats your arteries. I am happy to hear that your son, Gunga Din Mulcahy returned safely from his journey to the mysterious Islands. I'm becomming convinced that the local radio stations' employees are taking days off while replaying old middle eastern news from 30 years ago. It's difficult to hear any difference and the names are the same.

Are you COOL enough?

Big manufacturing company is outsourcing some programming jobs to overseas coding shops, reports a programmer pilot fish at the manufacturer.

But the company is taking it slowly. "We've been giving them sample projects to work on and increasing the complexity of the tasks involved, to gauge what they could handle and what was beyond their expertise," fish says.

The latest effort: Converting code from several old Digital Equipment VAX programs to run on IBM machines.

"Their programmers had been working on this project for six months," says fish. "In the weekly status meetings, we regularly asked, 'What problems are you having with the Digital to IBM sales report conversions?' or 'How's the VAX-to-IBM conversion going on those Phase 2 financial programs?'"

No problems, no problems, never any problems to report.

Until the day, six months into the project, when one outsourcer programmer finally does have an issue to raise.

"Can you tell me again," outsourcer says politely, "What is a VAX?"

        "Verily and forsooth," replied Goodgulf darkly.  "In the past year

strange and fearful wonders I have seen.  Fields sown with barley reap

crabgrass and fungus, and even small gardens reject their artichoke hearts.

There has been a hot day in December and a blue moon.  Calendars are made with

a month of Sundays and a blue-ribbon Holstein bore alive two insurance

salesmen.  The earth splits and the entrails of a goat were found tied in

square knots.  The face of the sun blackens and the skies have rained down

soggy potato chips."

        "But what do all these things mean?" gasped Frito.

        "Beats me," said Goodgulf with a shrug, "but I thought it made good

copy."
