It's my my second favorite Who song off my second favorite Who album, but who's counting? I must admit that I've always been a little bothered by Pete Townshend's misuse of to lie/lay, but hey, Bob Dylan did the same on "Tangled Up In Blue" and he was a lyrical genius, right?

I've been notified we broke the $100.00 AdSense ceiling.
Well, it's not much of a ceiling, really, it's an imaginary ceiling, as far as ceilings feelings. But since 'ceilings' are de rigueur these days I thought I would oblige.
I will concede to amateurism, but, fashionable amateurism, if there is such a thing.
Speaking of amateurism... I messed up the AdSense form and it wouldn't let me fix it. I had to read up on the help section. what a nightmare. AdSense does not offer live desk help. It turns out I had to fill out a dummy temp one, so I then could go back and delete the one I messed up.
It's all good now.
Sorry sorry, I didn't mean to stutter in my my post.
That's great news, Lem -- I wish you well.
I am close to commercializing a couple of "faking bad" products with a tentative offer to make around 70 of them to a retailer. I stay busy with R&D for some new ideas.
It would be so sweet to be paid for creativity -- that's a goal of mine.
Thank you Chickl.
Althouse took a picture of an anti violence billboard campaign while the car was moving at what must have been an interstate rate of speed... I'm not criticizing it.
What I 'am doing instead is picturing Althouse with her phone/camera in hand ready to shoot at a moments notice.
Feculence? Is that a real word?
Chick, what do you charge for a fake margarita? Ever since I saw yours I've envisaged offering a tray of margaritas at a party with one fake on the tray. The person that picks it would keep it as a door prize. Hee, I'm an entertainment genius.

It is real and it is apt.
Thanks, I figured it was. I was just conversatin'.
LOL! Dialoging, as it were...
Yeah, the Althouse thing is bizarre. A few weeks back it gelled and I got what the problem was; a tenured professor at a prestigious university behaving like a bratty little sister. So unseemly, so undignified. Oh, well. I put it down to innate personality combined with birth order. I think she'd be a whole 'nother person if she were first-born.
Diavlogging would be fun, I think :)
Look! Up in the skype! It's a bird, it's a plain, it's stuporman!
Skype? Only did it once. My daughter wanted me to 'meet' her then boyfriend.
Oh and another time I talked to my sister and her husband briefly from their cell phone to their son's. Before I came in the room I heard their voices and it was so crystal clear it sounded like they were right there.
So it's like Kippling, right?
?
I have never Skyped.
Okay, now that's awful :)
Do you speak from experience?
Oh, you mean the pun - that's a great pun.
CL, as for Dylan using "lay/lie" incorrectly, you missed "Lay Lady Lay" as a prime example.
Sure, Lie Lady Lie would become Hillary's! theme song, but you know what I'm sayin'...
Lay Lady Lay comes across as a very unDylan song.
@Sixty: Bob Dylan was an intransigent abuser of intransitive verbs.
Chick, what do you charge for a fake margarita?
I can't say yet, deborah. There are offers being made and there are good reasons for me not to put that out there right now.
Would you consider getting one for a reasonable price?
