I am sure this book would be far improved by electric Russians, psychics and men covered in bees, and probably no more insane than it already is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821450983903844905.post-84097770173621145112010-10-08T15:29:53.870-05:002010-10-08T15:29:53.870-05:00One of my students bought me this book as a gag gi...One of my students bought me this book as a gag gift. I might need to read it now and follow along with this blog.<br /><br />If you're in the middle of the desert, 20 miles from anyone, and you're going to kill someone who Knows Too Much, why would you (a) need a silencer; (b) need a laser sight; (c) WANT a laser sight that would attract the target's attention with enough time to yell (into the phone) the punchline of the conspiracy. I mean, if the idiot is taking the time to explain how tall a trillion dollars is, you don't want to clue him in that he's only got 5 seconds left rather than 2 minutes to say his piece.Pinyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428397215278760136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821450983903844905.post-88757792462714286652010-09-27T03:57:18.136-05:002010-09-27T03:57:18.136-05:00Well, there was once a phone booth in the Mojave D...Well, there was once a phone booth in the Mojave Desert: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojave_phone_boothseriously whathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06579445305004542118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821450983903844905.post-9544656212830457562010-09-24T17:24:25.933-05:002010-09-24T17:24:25.933-05:00A .357 with a laser sight?

It's too out-of-date to come from anything more recent <em>or</em> have actually been thought up this decade. Not only is a pay phone in the middle of the Mojave extra silly in the age of cell phones, but the change business suggests that this was written before the 1980s and '90s when people used calling cards so they wouldn't <em>have</em> to drag bank bags of change around with them.<br /><br />(For that matter, I wouldn't be at all surprised to discover that phones take credit cards these days - supposing one hasn't bought a pre-paid cell phone like a sensible free-lance secret agent or whatever the heck Not-A-Janitor is.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821450983903844905.post-21956128242285436592010-09-08T20:41:33.646-05:002010-09-08T20:41:33.646-05:00"They're changing the books..."
Yea..."They're changing the books..."<br /><br />Yeah, 'cause it's totally the left who advise teachers to razor out or glue together textbook pages which talk about evolution. And it's those left-wing school boards in Texas who voted to cut influential figures out of the history books. Yeah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
