About me
Bartender-of-Fortune, plying the the intoxicologist's trade at parties & events across the greater Bay Area.

Husband of Lexica, and probable accidental author of any of her clips/comments that involve excess vulgarity or the use of "ratfucksonofabitch" as a word.

5/1/09: I've decided to police the discussion on the threads that start off my clips, and delete comments that descend into ad hominem a.k.a. "personal attacks", or involve other acts of incivility towards other commenters..

I clip my fair share contentious clips, and I enjoy vigorous debate. But keep it civil, don't get personal.

If I could, I would disemvowel only the sections of comments that are actually uncivil, rude, personal, etc. But Clipmarks doesn't allow that, only deletion of an entire comment or nothing.

As why I've decided to moderate the threads I start, here's some cogent reasons.

And yes, I do in fact have my own moderator's seal of approval
Why I use Clipmarks
Because taking notes on paper and posting them on my front door doesn't get as much exposure.

I've also started using Clipmarks to store research materials for the series of stories I'm writing.

Werewolves of Ossory
foxyarse
by foxyarse  7-16-2009    1
 One evening, as the sun was setting, they reached a great and sprawling wood which ran along the borders of Meath and was known far and wide as part of the ecclesiastical See of Ossory. Dark was coming quickly, and the priest decided that the edge of the forest might make a good place to camp for the night. Accordingly, he lit a small fire, both for warmth and to keep wild forest animals away, and he and the boy prepared a simple evening meal for themselves.

Outlaw Josey Wales: "Road Agent's Spin"
Spiritualmonkey
by Spiritualmonkey  7-8-2009   
 The " road agent's spin " is the famous move Clint does with his pistols at 4:00 minutes into this clip. My dad taught me how to do this move on an old black-powder revolver. Clint is much smoother than I ever got. It's often mislabeled the "border shift" which is a different maneuver involving tossing your empty gun from your firing hand to your off hand, while simultaneously tossing a loaded gun from your off hand to your shooting hand. "Road agent" is the American western term for what the English would call a "Highwayman", i.e. a horse-mounted bandit. Interesting fact: In Britain, a Highwayman was considered a higher class of criminal than a mere "footpad", because at least the highwayman could afford to keep a horse. Better to be robbed by the poor and aristocratic, rather than the merely poor.

 The bottom part of the clip (from shespillsthebeans.com) has a recipe. These sound tasty and amusing. Looks like we'll be baking cookies come the holidays. Oh, who am I kidding? I'll be baking cookies and {{Spiritualmonkey}} will be telling me how wonderful I am for doing so. While still failing to wash the dishes. ;-)
