The incredulous occupants can only look on. After a desperate struggle Thorn gains the upper hand and kills Tab. Thorn is left barely standing, and badly wounded. As help arrives, a visibly distraught Thorn desperately confides in his police superior, Hatcher (Brock Peters), about the real ingredients of soylent green. The stretcher bearers take away Thorn. Hatcher looks only half-able to believe and comprehend Thorn's revelation. This leads to his famous outcry, "Soylent Green is people!"

I spelled Soylent wrong!!!!

Lemme get this straight. You want me to stroll down the malecon with blinking slippers, blinding anyone I talk to with my cap, sipping from a warm drink with faux flashing ice cubes, advertising from my belt buckle - FOR A GOOD TIME CALL - while pulling a frickin glowing cat!?!?!

Okay, sure, sounds like fun.

Paula - 12-14-2007 at 08:11 PM

A little while ago I went around the corner to Fidelia Boutique. Earlier today I noticed that they had black footless tights in the window-- a practical and stylish addition to a Loreto winter wardrobe. An elegant middle aged woman showed me the selection, I made my choice as there were three different weights and materials to choose from. I paid her, and as she gave me my change I complimented her on her beautiful nails. They were quite long, painted with subtle but glowing color, and on each one was an exquisite tiny blossom. She thanked me, and then told me they are very difficult to maintain, because what she really loves to do is fish, and she handlines. As I said, she was muy elegante, with perfectly cut and coifed hair, subtly highlighted, just enough make-up to accent her features, dressed in black, with very tasteful gold jewelry.

My jaw dropped, I'm sure, as I said REALLY! You are a handliner?? And I went on to tell her how beautiful I think this ancient way of fishing is-- como un baile. She sid exactly to fish this way es muy emocianante, as you feel every little move the fish makes, and you are directly connected to him. She showed me a scar that ran from the tip of her index finger to the heel of her hand, and she told me how she likes to cut her mackerel for bait, and wants no help with any part of fishing from her husband. A panga captain who was shopping with his wife joined the conversation, as the lady was very knowlegeable as to where the fish were-- how big, what kind at many spots close to shore, as she and her husband fish out of Puerto Escondido in a small aluminum boat with a 6 hp motor. I mentioned that my husband loves to fish, but I don't, but I do like to go out, and I to make bait. This caused much laughter. She said that it was sad that the women in Loreto never go out on the water, and have no interest in fishing. I mentioned that I have often heard that years ago a person had only to walk a few feet into the sea, reach down, and grab a good dinner. She said ay, si, en anos pasados fueron tantos peces, estaba increible! And she talked about the nets that people put out now, and how she reported one recently, but the men don't want to hear about it-- they don't care. But she knows her spots, and how to fish, and never comes home empty handed, but often with a damaged nail.

Oh dear me!! I'm afraid I've hijacked this thread:wow::dudette: It's all true-- every word of it.:yes:

Paulina - 12-14-2007 at 08:20 PM

Paula,
That was a fantastic hijack story! I wonder if she wears yellow rubber gloves? It seems to me that it would be darned near impossible to keep a good manicure and really fish.

There is the trick of scraping your nails across a bar of Ivory soap prior to getting dirty with it when you garden, but I don't think it would work with fishing.

I love to fish too, and just give my nails up to the fishing gods every time.

P<*)))><

Paula - 12-14-2007 at 08:34 PM

Paulina,

She told me all about what she wears for fishing, winter and summer, and that she always carries a bag of dry clothes because she fell off of the boat once in the winter time, but she didn't mention gloves.

I was a potter for 25 years or so, so I've kept my nails short and undecorated (but not my toenails!) You can't throw pots with gloves on, and they bother me whether scrubbing, grouting, or gardening. I'm always amazed to see what some women can do in spite of a pretty manicure.

Omigod, I've been in the states for 3 days

Packoderm - 12-15-2007 at 05:17 PM

OK, back to the subject at hand. We know it is the Xmas season, and the Pet Rock may seem like a tempting gift for a friend or loved one. But remember that these pets required long term care, and that of the many Pet Rocks that were adopted during the past several decades, many, many of these once cherished pets are still around and, tragically, are now delegated to confinement in their boxes placed in a lower dresser drawer somewhere. Before you place yet another one of these would-be adoptees under someone's care, do contemplate their ultimate fate. The best course of action would be to query all your friends, acquaintances and coworkers if they have adopted a Pet Rock in the distant past, and if they would please consider allowing it to be placed under someone else's care if the Pet Rock is no longer a prominent part of the family. Like Mohandas Gandhi once said, to paraphrase, "You can judge a society by the way it treats its animals." And I believe that Pet Rocks fit into this equation. One last thing I would like to add: Although it may add an exotic air, I would refrain from taking wild rocks from the Baja California wilderness. They are better off left in their native habitat, and we have so many neglected ones here at home.

Paula - 12-15-2007 at 05:43 PM

I think you are on to something good. A rock shelter, where people can come to adopt granite, sandstone, basalt, or just plain old roling stones. Mick and Kieth might be good names for some of these pets.

That B in front of your name is for BOLD, as in a man of boold ideas. No error on my part-- I meant to do that!:biggrin:

One last thing I would like to add: Although it may add an exotic air, I would refrain from taking wild rocks from the Baja California wilderness. They are better off left in their native habitat, and we have so many neglected ones here at home.


I am in total agreement with you. Our pet rock is a member of our family and will remain on display in our china cabinet till my children some day have the responsibility of deciding it's fate. I didn't think to add it to my trust, I'm hoping they won't argue over who gets the honor of absorbing it into their family.

Our rock has tiny fossils in it. I do keep it seperated from our baja rocks, as we haven't brought any of them up to the states. They perfer to live at our places down there. The climate is better.

I believe that much of Gandhi's outlook is from his ultimate reaction to the caste system. Here is an interesting Internet article about Gandhi and the caste system: http://www.bfg-muenchen.de/caste.htm

Dennis, I would like to mention here that I was in no way disparaging you in my response to your question about Head & Shoulders in the thread titled "Yum Yum" in the Off Topic forum. I was merely in a whimsical mood.

I would also like to take this opportunity to query whether the carbonation would last longer in a partially filled two-liter bottle of a carbonated soft drink beverage if the sides of the bottle were to be squeezed prior to replacing the twist cap as to minimize the amount of air in the bottle. Would this be the case? Any information on the issue would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Well no wonder!

Now I feel guilty. Maybe I should take it back to it's native land.

Packoderm...If you can convince me you truly do not understand carbonation, I may be able to help...Has to do with how gas is held in supension...do you remember that Raccoon hat???:biggrin:

Lets me off the hook. I've never been accused of holding gas in suspension.

But, with the proper underwear you won't have to worry about it.

I researched this a bit and found the following: Coke like all "soft drinks" is carbonated with carbon dioxide (CO2)a clear, colorless gas. The CO2 is dissolved in the water and sugar mixture under pressure. When the CO2 level just above the liquid is lower in concentration than the CO2 level in the liquid more gas comes out of solution than returns to the solution. The CO2 is lost from the soft drink. When the cap is put onto the bottle the CO2 comes out of solution until the CO2 level above and within the liquid are the same. This is called equilibrium. Shaking a closed bottle of soda will cause the pressure to rise because the CO2 is not in equilibrium anymore. After some time has passed the pressure will drop back to normal because the free CO2 will dissolve back into the liquid, regaining equilibrium. If the soda bottle is half full and the cap is returned to the bottle, the CO2 will come to equilibrium using some of the CO2 from the liquid to do so. The larger the space above the liquid the more CO2 will be required to reach equilibrum. If the cap is left off, the CO2 level will come to equilibrium with the atmospheric CO2 levels (which for this discussion are quite low)and the coke goes flat. If you squeeze the space out of the bottle before you put the cap on, the amount of CO2 needed to come to equilibrum will be less and the drink will keep its fizz. There is one problem with this approach though, when you squeeze the bottle and cap it, you create a partial vacuum. The CO2 level in the space is very low but the pressure will rise when the CO2 comes out of solution. This should inflate the bottle back to its initial shape and volume. Since the partial pressure of CO2 is all that matters, not the pressure of N2 or O2 from the atmosphere, the amount of CO2 removed from the liquid will be the same in either case. If the bottle is constrained so that it can not expand then the squeezed bottle will have more fizz later.

So, to answer my own question, the carbonation would last the longest if the bottle was squeezed and kept squeezed.

So, users of 2 liter bottles would benefit from the invention of some kind of girdle that would put and keep a squeeze on the bottle. This doesn't seem like it would be that hard.

Actually only the last line is wrong...:P:biggrin:

On a closer read I was right the first time...Wrong...at least from about half way down...Some how you got lost about the raccoon cap.:lol::lol::lol:

Yes, my son, and it is only fitting that we should reunite on the NOMADS BOARD. I have been wandering aimlessly in Utah for decades looking for you in the red rock country, and now I discover you have been hiding out in Baja-----oh well, we can discuss that later----I guess I was confused.

Good to hear from you, son. Just where in Utah are you now?

Al G - 12-15-2007 at 08:45 PM

Packoderm...it works the same as the Raccoon hat...you relieve the pressure and you lose the gas...Do you know how hard that was to type...:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Wrong...:lol:


Are you meaning that that wouldn't keep the soda carbonated the longest because not to open it in the first place would have that effect? I would at this point like to stipulate that the bottle first being opened would be integral to the experiment. Would the coonskin cap serve as a transporting device that would keep the bottle from being jarred thus resulting in the freeing of the carbon dioxide from the liquid?

Can you find Waldo?
