TAFT DEFIES A HOODOO.
Walks Under a Ladder After Thinking It All Over.
WASHINGTON — Secretary Taft was discovered to-day in a corridor of the War Department hesitating before a long ladder that straddled the passage. On its top were two workmen engaged in repairing a chandelier. The Secretary made a fine show of being interested in the operations of the men in the air, but he also was looking furtively around to see if he was observed.
One clue whose answer consists of two rhyming words:
What goes on behind the doors of that beautiful resort? Do you assume relaxation? Do you…
Highlight here for answer: [suppose repose]
Colourful Coffins
Ideas came with explosive immediacy, like an instant birth. Human thought is like a monstrous pendulum; it keeps swinging from one extreme to the other.

Nice, GWB Password = laugh riot.
Good luck opening for Lisa Loeb tonight. I dare you to loudly request “Stay” in between every song, even if she’s already played it.
SP,
You may have been dead-on in your speculation that a used SPJ CD could signify only the desperation of the seller. Probably someone who worked at Dell, may they find new jobs.
I believe it’s in poor taste to quote oneself, but they say every 7 years your molecules have all been replaced, so here’s a review along the same lines that someone who looked like me only youngerish wrote 8 years ago of the Starter Kit:
“Let me put it this way: if I had only fifteen dollars to my name and were faced with two alternatives, procuring bread and cheese or purchasing a copy of the Southpaw Jones Starter Kit, I would buy bread and cheese, but ONLY because by then I would have already hawked my CD player. But if I thought I could get a local cafe to play the CD for me, I’d buy Starter Kit, slide into a booth and wait for sweet starvation to take me home. At least I would die laughing.”
Hope all’s well there in Austown.
