What in carnation are those flowers?

Irene કહ્યું...

Is this some souped-up hybrid of Echinacea?

AlgonquinS કહ્યું...

What the hell? How come the sock-puppet is able to comment but not me?

Blogger/Google SUCKS!

Hello! Puffy!! Red!!11!!!

@Irene, nope, zinnas.

Skyler કહ્યું...

I like the changes, but Ann's portrait needs a better resolution. It is highly pixelated now and it loses its stunning effect.

BJM કહ્યું...

Um...make that zinnias.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

I'm red, I'm puffy, and I'm proud!

Signed,
The flower

DADvocate કહ્યું...

I like that yellow cone flower, the non-conformist.

Irene કહ્યું...

Thanks, BJM. That's unlike any Zinnia that I've seen. Kind of garish.

My all time favorite Althouse avatar was the one that looked like a comic book animation. It wasn't up for long, around the end of 2008 or so IIRC.

edutcher કહ્યું...

It should be very proud. Tweaking interfaces without a usability group is a little like trapeze without a net and, given the temperamental nature of the Althouse commentariat, deserves a little more consideration and applause for trying to make a good product better.

WV "ineum" When your eum turns in instead of out.

The Crack Emcee કહ્યું...

Yes you do - and it's puffy and red!

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

Irene કહ્યું...

Ah! Echinacea "Hot Papaya."

David કહ્યું...

I am proud of Darren Clarke.

Hey, Althousians, I was thinking of getting an iPad to surf the wek b/c my virus problems on my PC. I like my PC and don't want to spend a grand on a Mac, so that seems like a good solution.
what do you all think?

Gooooooooooal!

Carol_Herman કહ્યું...

Flowers don't know. But we do. And, so do the bees.

David કહ્યું...

Japan 3-US 1 Penalty Kicks. Game over. Japan wins! Amazing job by Japan!

David કહ્યું...

If web surfing is what you want, PC v. Mac no difference at all.

Almost Ali કહ્યું...

I still love Hope Solo!

“.. bee bee, bee my baby ..”

Only 126 million years for mason bees to differentiate from leafcutter bees – and the flowers are survivor symbiotically ...

... ancient proud!

I heard it said, (by a comedian, so there's that) if you move one single thing in an aquarium then the fish think they're in an entirely new environment. (comedian goes, "Hey, where am I? How'd I get here?") But honestly, how would anyone know what a fish is thinking?

Hostess, your tweeks are nice. Here, have yourself some guacamole saved from last night.

DADvocate કહ્યું...

if you move one single thing in an aquarium then the fish think they're in an entirely new environment.

According to my son, goldfish have about a 2 second memory span. New environment every 2 seconds.

JR કહ્યું...

from flowers to fish .. (note to diary) ..

.. shared cerebellum-istically .. we land-fish .. may know more fish tales .. than they who swim in schools .. though lacking Aristotle .. they move-schooled in more deeply evolved waters .. comedic, though dolphins are, not fish .. who most intelligently, may know more than we, what puffy red or orange ruffys think?

JR કહ્યું...

.. like that near-poem enough to pumpkin seed sunfish it onto my blog too ..

Phil 314 કહ્યું...

Professor;
I'm glad you went back to a different color for your headlines.

Phil 314 કહ્યું...

And I'm taking your blog with you. A lot of people come here for my comments, not yours. You're predictable and boring.

For the past several years, I've made your blog an exciting place for intelligent debate. But I dislike where this blog has gone as you've commercialized it for your own enrichment. It used to be a place where discussion happened. Now it's a bunch of links to products with throwaway timed posts in between.

So, I leave it to you and GarageMahal to masturbate to each other.

Enjoy your circle jerk.

And good luck getting Barack Obama re-elected.


Posted this just as reminder for me and ?maybe others about humility.

somefeller કહ્યું...

Interesting that nevadabob says he's been here for years, even though nevadabob is a fairly new moniker. I guess that's a confession he's the same loser that's been trolling as New Ham, Florida, etc. Hey, nevadabob, before you go, please be sure to leave your forwarding information, you know, for the libel suit you were talking about awhile back.

Sounds like the Man From UNCLE's kid sister.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

Very nice! Keep it up.

NB: Had a great brunch at the Bombay Club, across the Oval Room near the WH, with many K-street consultants. We are now suggesting that the defeat of GOP will be by at least 20 points. Next weekend, we brunch at Zaytinya. Hope to see some of you there. 12 PM - High Noon - will be good.

m stone કહ્યું...

Get the IPad, PatCA. You won't regret it. Clean and fast.

Toad Trend કહ્યું...

@America's Politico

Brunched at Bombay last week. My K-street insiders were talking about the shocking import of 'Depends' that dem lackeys were sitting on as a result of the latest polling data. See you at Zaytinya next weekend. BTW, try the Cilbir, it is to die for.

wv - punative.

Yes.

Chip S. કહ્યું...

Hope 'n' change then.

Hope Solo now.

Penny કહ્યું...

Wow, had a great day, Yet sadly, not quite able to figure it all out?

My friends, on the other hand, are all quite sure.

Widely Seen કહ્યું...

Notice how the eye is drawn to the blonde in the crowd...

AllenS કહ્યું...

By God, I think I've done it. Maybe. Commenting looks like it used to before the big tweak.

Chip S. કહ્યું...

Clap on!

Clap off!

AllenS કહ્યું...

I did tools - internet options - found the place where the cookies are, and wiped them out, with a control a. That's holding down the control button and hitting the letter a. Commenting looks just like it did before and there is no choosing from the 6 drop down options.

Chip S. કહ્યું...

I made it rain today by washing my car.

AllenS કહ્યું...

I just scrolled down and found out that The Althouse Woman restored commenting like it used to be. I guess I'm not that smart after all. Course, you knew that, didn't you.

JAL કહ્યું...

So somebody left?

Mmmm.

Chip S. કહ્યું...

Allan, Welcome to the matrix.

JAL કહ્યું...

It did take me more than 6 attempts (I can only count the wv s I had to redo up to a point) to post earlier today.

Thanks.

JAL કહ્યું...

Skyler's right about your avatar/pix Professor.

You might consider an edit, up the pixels, get a sharper one ...

Speaking of Skyler -- where are you fellow? In A'stan or the States? Can you say?

AllenS કહ્યું...

Matrix? I think I've fallen back into the vortex.

JAL કહ્યું...

One more thing -- any word from MadisonMan? How are things?

Penny કહ્યું...

"Penny said...

Penny કહ્યું...

Althousian!

Penny કહ્યું...

Like her? Yes, you seem to.

Things going "right"?

edutcher કહ્યું...

Give the lady credit for trying to make things a little better.

Sometimes you shuffle things around to see if you're missing out on something good.

Penny કહ્યું...

Edutcher insists we judge Althousiana by things getting "bedder?

Freeman Hunt કહ્યું...

Netflix streaming is down. I finally figured this out after messing with it for half an hour.

I want to finish The Wages of Fear. We were supposed to watch the second half tonight.

Freeman Hunt કહ્યું...

Now I can't even come back to this thread until we watch it because I'm afraid someone will tell me what happens.

Penny કહ્યું...

Course... if I suggested that my cowboy got all "relative"?

Might I call on you to ensure that not ONE relative would help that cowboy escape?

Penny કહ્યું...

READ up, then worry.

Penny કહ્યું...

To my mind?

Althouse has a mess on her hands.

Penny કહ્યું...

Leader?

I might just be the very best.

Penny કહ્યું...

"Give the lady credit for trying to make things a little better."

I can abide her ego.

Let's see. ONE more?

yashu કહ્યું...

Wages of Fear-- such a great nail-biter. Won't say another word.

Penny કહ્યું...

I call you, "friend".

Always....

john કહ્યું...

Like AllenS, I was worried I did something to screw up access to this blog. Maybe getting banned for poor grammar.

Or too many incomplete sentences.

Whew, it's good to be back again.

BJM કહ્યું...

@Irene

Great catch! and a fabulous name!!

I thought it was Zinnia Zahare Bonfire that I grew a couple of season ago; they were triple-flowered and very similar.

Clyde કહ્યું...

Looks like Casey Anthony has her own reality show now: The Fugitive. The media are slavering around, trying to get a whiff of her scent, and frustrated that she apparently made a clean getaway in the wee hours of Sunday morning. If she's smart, she'll listen to her advisors and lay low for a long time. She's the most hated person in the country right now and probably the second-most infamous, behind only the "Brooklyn Butcher" Levi Aron, who murdered the little boy last week -- no weasel words, he did it, they found part of the body at his apartment in the fridge and he told them where to find the rest. Aron, however, will never again walk the streets a free man. Casey is free, in a land where a goodly portion of the citizenry despises her at best.

How bad is it? Well, last week (while Casey was still cooling her heels in jail), a woman in Oklahoma was attacked by another woman who thought that she was Casey Anthony. The woman ran her vehicle into the victim's truck when she got off work at the gas station/convenience store she owns. Her truck flipped over twice. She said that the cops told her that the woman was muttering that she was a baby-killer and deserved to die. And this was a woman who only resembled Anthony, at a time when any intelligent person knew that Anthony was still in jail.

Free advice to any other Casey Anthony lookalikes out there: Change your look. Don't be a victim of the other psychos out there.

Paddy O કહ્યું...

Freeman, I noticed Netflix streaming was down too, but only on their player. I opened up my browser and it worked fine.

Irene કહ્યું...

@BJM, thank you!

I thought "Hot Paprika" might be better than "Hot Papaya."

Parlez-vous français, Mademoiselle K-C?

Freeman Hunt કહ્યું...

Movie was great.

Very very end made us both laugh out loud though. So French!
