Ken Nordine
Ken Nordine, yeah I know that guy, I heard his voice 1000 times, he’s the guy in the bus station that says “go ahead I’ll keep an eye on your stuff for you,” and you see him the next day walking around town wearing your clothes. He broadcasts from the boiler room of the Wilmont Hotel with 50,000 watts of power. I know that voice, he’s the guy with the pitchfork in your head saying go ahead and jump, and he’s the ambulance driver who tells you you’re going to pull thru. He’s the guy in the control tower who talked you down in a storm with a hole in your fuselage and both engines on fire. I heard him barking thru the Rose Alley Carnival strobe as samurai firemen were pulling hose. Yeah, he’s the dispatcher with the heart of gold, the only guy up this late on the suicide hotline. Ken Nordine is the real angel sitting on the wire in the tangled matrix of cobwebs that holds the whole attic together. Yeah, Ken Nordine, he’s the switchboard operator at the Taft Hotel, the only place in town you can get a drink at this hour. You know Ken Nordine, he’s the lite in the icebox, he’s the blacksmith on the anvil in your ear. –Tom Waits

Figure I haven’t annoyed anyone lately (that I know of) so, here goes….
Yeah, embedded to bork the thread.
/lurk
@ CynicalConservative:
Since I have my ear buds in still waiting for BTR to start, guess I am as good as anyone else here to annoy.
@ Calo:
Could be a long wait… I think it was canceled.
/lurk
@ CynicalConservative:
GAK!
One back at you that I know you enjoy.
CC -- where did you go?
@ Calo:
GAK! indeed. Made it about 3 chords before I started twitching. Cruel my friend, cruel.
Something different….
/lurk
@ Calo:
Better….
/lurk
@ CynicalConservative:
#2 is better than #1?
Oh my -- I might need a shot of tequila now.
@ CynicalConservative:
@ Calo:
O.k., my turn. You guys will enjoy this, I promise.
@ Bob in Breckenridge:
…
@ Calo:
Tequila away….
@ Flyovercountry:
Not quite my style, but not bad for the first 3 mins. Will run it through later (after I’m done torturing Calo ((and the thread in general))
Little bit-o-trance for the balance…
//lurk
///figure the admins will remove my “V” additions to keep the thread humming. No disrespect to your thread Bunk.
@ Bunk X:
… see previous post… re: thread borkage
/lurk
OK….who is hating on ABBA and Wham!???
@ CynicalConservative:
Are you in my daughter’s iTune’s account tonight?
@ NoThreat2U:
Not me, posting or liking here.
/lurk
Here’s something else…
@ Calo:
@ CynicalConservative:
Wot? I was going to bork the thread about NASA’s Mars Landing and say something about how pointless it was.
But I didn’t.
@ NoThreat2U:
Please, please just duct tape CC’s fingers shut tonight.
He is doing a poor job of lurking.
And, I know you are the Queen of Cheese videos.
Fire away NT2U.
@ Bunk X:
Ahh, good then. Pre-emptive borkage. Carry on. (Highschool motto that…)
/lurk
@ CynicalConservative:
Oh a Cranberries song! Good one!
@ Calo:
Gun oil trumps duct tape…
Probably from your daughters account again, this one could likely be listed as a “hate crime” for people our age… (don’t hate me though…)
Won’t embed, don’t want to be banned…

/running as fast as I can
@ Calo:
I can bring the cheese……..
@ CynicalConservative:
Lily posted that one night. Strange yes, but it grows on you.
@ CynicalConservative:
I can rein in my weasels if I have to. Other times I just turn ‘em loose, close the windows and doors, and wait to observe the resulting carnage the following morning. Most times there’s nothing, but occasionally there are carcases and entrails stuck to the ceilings and walls of the internests.
Last night had promise until Blog Talk Radio crapped on us.
@ NoThreat2U:
Yep, it does.
Try this one. Different genre, Calo should like too. Dark and emotional (like most of their work)
/duct tape
@ NoThreat2U:
I know, it does have that grow on you appeal. I happen to like it.
@ Bunk X:
I blame Possum.

You’ve redeemed yourself.
May I still duct tape and have my way with you?
@ CynicalConservative:
Evanescense.
Gotta go lay down. Until tomorrow…….
@ CynicalConservative:
I ain’t saying nothing.
@ NoThreat2U:
Sleep well NT2U.
You are in my prayers.
One last before I depart, just to keep Calo guessing.
//sleep
@ CynicalConservative:
Nite CC.
Thanks for coming outta //Lurk mode.
Bunk,
That picture cracks me up. Don’t know why, but it just hit the right buttons tonight.
@ Bob in Breckenridge:
Sorry, stuff getting to me. G’night.
Well, if I didn’t drink 8 cups of coffee after 5 PM, maybe I would be in sleep mode as well.
Night Bunk.
@ doriangrey:
You stole my 9th cup of coffee this evening, ‘fess up.
Everyone else is asleep tonight but me and you.
@ Calo:
We are awake in neuro…
@ coldwarrior:
Neuro is boring tonight?
Midnight charting and meds done?
Tubings up to date and don’t need to be changed?
Crash cart checked?

James Holmes’ Psychiatrist Contacted University Police Weeks Before Movie-Theater Shooting: ABC Exclusive

“Fenton would have had to have serious concerns to break confidentiality with her patient to reach out to the police officer or others, the sources said. Under Colorado law, a psychiatrist can legally breach a pledge of confidentiality with a patient if he or she becomes aware of a serious and imminent threat that their patient might cause harm to others.”
Hmm, it looks to me like the psychiatrist pretty much bet her professional career on her concerns, while the Campus police didn’t even feel it necessary to visit his apartment. Yeah, it’s easy to second-guess, but this really smells like some flagrant professional misconduct.
