Are there any established methods for resizing a human head?
The kids 1970s Saturday morning TV show "Dr Shrinker." Or Vincent Price's head-shrinking kit (you used apples). -
Great songs remade
I like it when artists completely remake a song and turn it into something entirely different. Michael Gira and Jarboe from the 1980s (and later) NY industrial combo The Swans, some of the ugliest music you will ever hear, did a side project called World of Skin in which Jarboe sang a quiet... -

NYTIMES: White House Unbuttons Formal Dress Code
This has been mentioned in several threads, including the "Historical and Ideological Roots of Anti-Suit Hatred" one. I don't think it will be considered too political as long as no one takes it as an opportunity to "get medieval" on Obama.- Dr Doran

Ideological and Historical Roots of anti-Suit Hatred
Ninety-nine? That's a little harsh! Some of them are not necessarily guys I want to hang out with badly, but some are OK, I'm sure, just not very hip or cool. Perhaps (in regard to the second of your points which I have appended above) business casual will result in the disappearance of the... -
Ideological and Historical Roots of anti-Suit Hatred
My sociopath friend (guy in LA) once said: "Tim, don't carry a knife." I said "Why? Knives are cool." He said, "Because, if you use it in a fight, you'll be [thought of as] the bad guy. Carry pepper spray. Because if you use that, you are a gentle civilized guy who was only defending... -
Dirt is good!
I read this article a few hours ago in the NY Times! Vintage minds think alike. We carefully and deliberately* raise The Egghead in a Third World method: constant exposure to low-level germs, plus three cats. *A lie -- we are just too busy AND LAZY to clean.- Dr Doran

Hat Themed Lighting
An excellent opportunity to make some cash. I wonder how many people would buy it? It seems pretty "novelty." Has one of these been seen in anyone's house ever? -

Ideological and Historical Roots of anti-Suit Hatred
In my experience I have come to the conclusion that a broken beer bottle thrust in one's interlocutor's face can be helpful in many situations. -
Ideological and Historical Roots of anti-Suit Hatred
No. But keep in mind that the practice of calling someone gay usually does not mean that the utterer ACTUALLY thinks the target is in fact truly gay. It's just a silly term. In high school we called certain buildings that we didn't like "gay." We did not actually think the building was... -

Ideological and Historical Roots of anti-Suit Hatred
This must be true. It is like my brother feeling rather raggedy in his plaid Pacific North West flannel, unshavenness, sneakas, and ripped knee-holes when he sees the rest of us dressed up. -
Ideological and Historical Roots of anti-Suit Hatred
I completely ignored that. But ... but ... lack of demand has created lack of supply, hasn't it? What men desire to buy appears swiftly under this economic regime. It's not like you need 1,000 government permits to sell suits in this society (I am contrasting the idiotic housing shortage in... -
Ideological and Historical Roots of anti-Suit Hatred
Thank you for your compliment, Marc, and it is good to see you here again. I think that in the eyes of my brother (the one who uses the "g"-word as soon as I pick up a collar bar) -- and who, Lou, is VERY politically liberal to the point of "hating" most or all Republicans quite... -
Ideological and Historical Roots of anti-Suit Hatred
This must be accurate. Funny thing is, it's the simplest solution, and I never thought of it. This may be one reason why when I wear a suit and tie, which is most of the time, I deliberately distinguish myself from what i think of as a boring insurance salesman look: I use a carefully chosen... -
