i just don't feel right commenting. the thing is, i feel extremely judged by mark, or rather by mark's silence

Mark Thomas (person) by pjd ? Thu Jan 11 2001 at 10:24 utc A British comedian. He specialises in exposing the hypocracy in business and politics. A bit like Michael Moore but gets away with more. (since laws are different). Some of his tricks include: Providing a security escort (including APC) for a train containing spent nuclear feul. You never know when those blasted terrorists may strike. Especiallly when the driver has to stop the train and get out to open the gates to a level crossing by hand. Attending an arms fair, posing as a PR agency, got some high ranking Indonesian armed forces people to admit to torture and other similar fun and games. Flying over Menwith Hill in a hot air balloon Projecting words to the effect of "This is the headquarters to MI6" on the side of the alleged MI6 Headquarters. (I guess you had to be there) Interviewing high up officials in many countryies and companies and getting them to make an arse of themselves. Setting up an air raid siren in a town near Sellafield Nuclear Power Plant. Just in case a flock of seagulls flew overhead - there was a real risk of recieving radioactive poos Lots of other things but you get the idea His website can be wound at www.mtcp.co.uk

I feel silent at Mark Thomas' silence.

Mark Thomas' voice would destroy our inner ear if we were to listen to the hellfire that is Mark Thomas' voice.

I own Mark Thomas.

Mark Thomas own I.

the concept of owtward bound was developed in 1941 in great britain. german u-boats were sinking british merchant ships and the younger, and presumably, more fit sailors were less likely to survive than older seamen while waiting to be rescued in frigid waters. mark thomas, a weel-known progressive educator, was asked to discover the reasons for this. he determined that the lack of confidence rather than any shortage of skill was the reason for the difference. as a result, thomas developed a regimen of progressively more rugged challenges to develop the internal fortitude and confidence necessary to survive harsh physical challenges. his program was an overwhelming success.

I second that emotion.

we can release the story hounds to motivate the man. or the nail-gnawing felines. maybe he has nothing to say. that happens.

HEY!!!!! you're awfully pushy for a lady who won't even share a picture with digital friends!!

i don't like having my picture taken, and i don't like people seeing my picture. wtf does that have to do with mark?

wtf does any current conversation have to do with subject of string?

"i don't like having my picture taken, and i don't like people seeing my picture" bunk you keep yourself in a shell, in many ways. thats ok, thats spider. all im saying, is maybe mark doesnt feel like sharing, anymore than you do.

I want to see a picture of spider.... I hate seeing my own picture as well, or hearing my own voice, and I cannot stand watching myself on video. Not only do I get emberassed, but I also get wigged out.

"Bunk"? Wrong.

NO. END OF DISCUSSION.

during my latest move I struggled with the decision to keep a book called "my friends the wild chimpanzees." it may end up going to goodwill, where it would join an unread-by-me copy of "moll flanders" by daniel defoe.

I wouldn't have so much free time if things worked properly around here. Things meaning both animate and inanimate objects. Goddammit, I had a meeting with my boss at one and here it is 1:30 and he's in his office with the door closed and he's not answering his phone. And the database still isn't back up. My hands are tied. I am very unhappy.

Dougie! You look...so familiar...

that's some fiiiiiiine broken picture, dougie. i think this might be all part of me losing it (see:How do you do?-i don't even know), but i could swear that there was a story after the ones in Jan. Like in april or something. I swear there was, and then they were gone. no, that's it, i've lost it. damn a good half hour in the Box of Trial ought to deliver us some tales of NY. TONKA! I'm surprised no-one's made a "Write Your Own Mark Thomas Story!" thread, or is that out of bounds?? Could prove facinating. Or do you people actually have morals? :)

Dogie, now we know whay you do in your free time. HEHE (peeweehermanlaugh)

Dougie, you need to tell us more about yourself. What do you do for a living? Where did you go to school? How's your girlfriend doing?

he's fondling his trout.

Trout Fishing In America

Dougie,looks like you're packing a big one. Is that your playhouse,where your kitty is?

I added another picture to the link above, this of a seatrout (weakfish) which I caught a couple of weeks ago near my home. It's not actually a trout -- it's a member of the drum family. The name weakfish comes from the skin on the sides of its mouth which is paper thin and very weak. You've got to be lucky enough to hook them either in the top or bottom jaw to catch them. The first pictures are of my vacation last year to the Catskills, where I found the fishing to rival that of Montana and Wyoming. The first picture is of a brown trout caught on the Beaverkill. The 2nd, my kitty is sitting in the cabin we rented. The 3rd is of me fishing in the east branch of the (at that time) highly flooded Delaware river. Spider, nothing really interesting to tell. I grew up in Ohio, went to Northwestern University, moved out east to New York, I'm systems manager for Radiology/Radiation Oncology departments at a large medical system. My girlfriend's doing well. If all goes smoothly, maybe we'll have some Spanish/English bilingual rugrats running around soon.

I would like to take back my little outburst of annoyance at my boss. It seems he may have done some big big damage to our data stores in his attempt to fix the database. Behind those closed doors, he is most likely suffering the depths of despair and is in need of much support and understanding. Good thing the windows can't open. Oh, and the really sad part is that he hoped to leave early today because he was gone on Father's Day and was going to go out with his family tonight. Look what he has to contend with instead. Poor man. I've said a prayer for him. And the database.

Ouch

You said it. My stomach is clenched in sympathy for his grief.

Ah, the bear has emerged from the cave. Data is recovered up to the end of the day yesterday. Since I only did 3 hours' worth of work today, and I'm the only one working on the project, things aren't so bad after all. He's going home now, too, and I'll go home in 20 minutes. Forget overtime.

I hear that.

oh wait, now i see why the pics were broken for me (at work): 403 Blocked Site The requested URL http://www.dougie.homestead.com/files/WEAKfish.jpg is blocked by your site administrator because it falls into the following CyberNOT categories: Partial Nudity and Art Full Nudity Sexual Acts/Text ---- dougie, you dawg! trying to taint my virgin eyes again.

Nude fish are such a turn on. Especially trout because they're so shiny and have lovely big gills. Dougie, got any split fin shots? How about anything with some fishing line suggestively draped around the tail fin?

just the thought of those long...hard...fishing rods..... stop stop, i'm too excited already!!

What happened to the WAYD board? all the old stuff is gone!

The alien slut monkeys at work again. (Mark's just archived it with all the other previous WAYD's)

Hell, what's up with the start page? What's this wlecome to yourdomain.com stuff?

OOOOH,I'm glad its not just me.I thought I was being penalized,for using suggestive trout language. [and those dandy little bobbers,glistening in the cool,clear water.Theres just something about a slowly rocking bobber,that gets to me]

That's weird that my site would get blocked. There's no text on it, only 2 jpg's -- I can't believe the filename weakfish.jpg would raise a flag. When I get a chance, I'll scan and put up some more pix of fish: salmon & arctic grayling caught in Alaska; fluke, stripers, bluefish & cod caught near me, and some more pix of rainbow, cutthroat & brook trout caught in Montana & Wyoming. Maybe I'll even become un-anonymous and remove the peewee mask.

the blocked sites are decided by a security firm outside of this company, and the final say in blocking a site comes from one guy. I've never had the chance to talk to him myself, but those who have say he's fucked. He blocked the entire Government of Ontario site. The warning screen said it was because of language. The buzz around the office is "just.... don't.....ask...." i'm never too irked at him though... he has my dream job, after all.

Don't worry, wisper. You're not missing much, just some pictures of me with fish, and my kitty, Emily -- can't forget Big Emm.

MAKE NO MISTAKE: Mark Thomas plays each and every Sorabji inhabitant,like a piano. My personal testamonial to Mark Thomas: by Czarina "Mark Thomas looked deep inside my soul,with his Ramen Noodle eyes.[which kinda scared me at first] But with those very eyes,he was able to see what no other could. With one deft move,he was able to cleanse the sins of my life away.My transgressions were but dust in his hands. He then bade me,"Go sister,and revel in your debautchery,fear not,lewd and lacivious activities,for you are at home,you are at peace,when you enter these portals". I then knew,unequivacably,that he had been sent to save me. I now know,that nothing I could do,is so decadent, that it wouldn't be accepted here. Thank you Mark Thomas".

Mark Thomas is a regular bloke who has a web site and eats steak and spinach and can play the piano and laughs a lot and takes good pictures. That's all.

Athiest heh

and pork chops. also, he drinks cheap beer.

yeah i never got that pork chop bit. cheap beer, yeah sure...its beer, who cares. but pork chops? pork chops are just strange you know? i don't who or what mark thomas is and i won't be like all you other crackpots and pretend i do.

What's strange about a pork chop? Pork chops are awesome all fried up nice, with scalloped potatoes or some such side dish. There's an art to frying pork chops -- gotta cook them through so that they're not pink inside, but not so much that they become like shoe leather. The crispy fat on the outside is the best part.

He eats spinach?

the fat is what makes me puke. pork chops are dry, leathery as you say, and just bleahhhhh. with the exception of fried chicken, frying meats like that are just revolting.

Fat is just plum nasty,period.

pork fat. mm. you don't have to cook pork all the way through. the Children of Mark Thomas know the truth.

in ukraine salted pork fat is called "salo." they spread it on bread and toss it down with cheap vodka. breakfast of champions.

Pork is a good thing.

the last time I got so sick to my stomach that I had to cancel plans was the day I ate at a portland cuban restaurant that served big open-faced sandwiches loaded up with the other white meat.

i just have to say: you don't get sick like that eating vegetables, generally. meat grosses me out.

meat is gross. milk is sortof gross too. still eat cheese and ice cream, but kicking the habit. yay veggies!

actually thats not true agatha. a friend got food poisoning eating greens. why would you kick the habit of eating dairy? Your body needs dairy, especially the calcium, especially as a woman.

especially as tall as you are too

note that i said "generally", as in "not always". think of how many people you know that have gotten sick from meat, fish, and especially shellfish, and then think of the people you know that have gotten sick from eating anything else. that's all i'm saying. i knew that would rile someone up. i think people should eat meat if they want to, and some people need to eat meat for health reasons. personally, i think it's nasty. that's all.

I bet there are lots of weird hormones and antibiotics and stuff in dairy products. most human adults aren't really built for processing dairy. you can get calcium through other sources (such as ground-up bones -- yum!). however, I don't give a damn. I'm not too interested in a life in which I could never eat ice cream. I think a lot of the times the reason people get sick from eating vegetables is because they have come into contact with animal products (chopping vegetables on a cutting board with raw chicken bacteria on it, washing vegtables in giardia-contaminated tap water, etc.)

girl, we got the synchronicity. i have got to find a new job.

the library gig isn't working out?

I thougth i had heard that E.coli can be found in certain vegetables, but I could be wrong. Plus, there's a buttload of vegetables taht will kill you dead if you don't cook them right, such as manioc. All in all, I'm with cyst. A life without ice cream (and barbeque) is not one I'm interested in.

many asian (particularly chinese) adults are allergic to milk from thousands of years of not drinking it. the cow is more valuble as work or meat than milk. you can get quite a bit of calcium from eating dark leafy green vegetables such as spinach and broccoli. soy and nut milks are often a good source of calcium. iron can be aquired from these same vegetables. vitamin d is frequently added to milk to help break down other foods into energy. this vitamin is naturally occuring inside your body when exposed to sunlight. people with fair skin have no problem with this. people with dark skin or little time in the sun should take a suppliment. viamin b12 only occurs in animal products, so many vegetarians/vegans are encouraged to take a supplement.

also, veggies are more efficient as a food source. eliminate the third party. i'd probably be more open to meat if i were less sqeamish about it, but i personally prefer to go through life without handling dead animals.

you can get e.coli from melons. dairy is not a good source of calcium. dairy is high in phosphates, which bind with calcium. this is why people without kidneys need to take calcium pills if they eat dairy. many vegetarians have a warped sense of nutrition.

nate has a warped sense of reality. of course, what else is new?

not you, pez. your sense of nutrition seems fairly solid. you even know about taurine.

pez, i thought you ate meat still? did you give it up?

You can be an omnivore or a vegetarian, but either way, you still need to pay attention to what you eat, regardless of the ethics. I know many lean omnivores and a few lean vegatarians and I also know many overweight omnivores and several overweight vegetarians. I've decided to give up on worying about what other people eat. I have enough trouble doing that for myself.

yes. i'm now a full, rather than semi, vegetarian. veganism is in the near future. it would be difficult for me to be a vegetarian without worshipping the variety of fresh healthy foods availiable.

i tend to feel much better about myself when i avoid eating meat. i would eat it for a matter of convenience more than anything else. for the past month that i've avoided meat, i've also managed to avoid eating at all major fast food restaurants. which is also a major health issue. some vegetarians are overweight because they aren't getting the nutrition they need and eat more to compensate. most junk foods, while vegetarian, are still low in nutritional value and should be avoided if a healthier option is availible.

what do you hope to gain by going vegan?

most vegans are really skinny and interesting-looking. I would like to have the body composition of a vegan. not enough to do it, though, of course, though.

all the vegans ive known were ghastly looking. last time i saw a picture of you cyst..when you were in the ukrain you were junky thin. this is not the case?

cyst is eight feet tall. she'll tell you it was illusion. my sense of reality isn't warped. my reality is warped.

I'm about the same as I was then, not junkie thin. for genetic reasons I have pudge-free arms and a very narrow waist. but when I stand up, my inner thighs are not very far apart. because I don't put on weight uniformly, I have to exercise regularly and keep my calorie count low. otherwise I would look even weirder, with a slender torso but with big, fat hips and thighs. it's not my fault I have to keep a low weight in order to look proportional. if it were up to me, I'd eat key lime pie all day and have a big rack and thin thighs. but it's not.

i just can't stand the taste of milk anymore and have done too much reading on the treatment of animals on dairy farms. eggs i don't mind so much, but have you ever had to clean fresh eggs? they're disgusting. most farms dip them in bleach to clean them before the market.

treatment of egg laying chickens tends to be horrible. free range eggs are the way to go.

naaah fuckkit. Just eat key lime pie all day.

and wash it down with vodka and uncooked pork rhinds. I only eat free range eggs anymore, what a difference. The expensive oven eggs are boring. Nothing like Ranger Egg. Off to Florida in a week, beach, sun, lightning strikes, and grouper reubens at the Rod and Reel. A long weekend of RNR. Willing to meet for egg exchange. Will buy key lime pie for anyone. No chickens were harmed in the writing of this post.

on tuesday I had a slice of key lime pie made with eggs from free-range chickens.

this morning i had a piece of hazelnut and poppyseed toast with soy margarine. yummy!

i really like soy margarine. i really like tofutti better than cream cheese, too. it's better than cream cheese.

apart from the couple times I've had house guests, I haven't bought cream cheese, cheese, butter, or cream in at least a year and a half. my homelife is all carrot sticks, skim milk, frozen vegetables, prawns, tomato sauce over vegetables instead of pasta, turkey sandwiches with low-fat mayonnaise, beans and corn tortillas (but never more than two small ones per day), nonfat plain yogurt with fruit. when I want to indulge at home, I sprinkle a very small amount of 99% fat-free granola over the plain nonfat yogurt, or sometimes I'll even go as far as to spread raspberry jam on a slice of wheat toast. when I go out, though, I usually order dessert.

just reading that post makes me want to go out and get chocolate covered fried pizza, marinated in whole cream. You know, something that the Two Fat Ladies would cook. That show gives me a tummy ache.

am now eating spaghetti with homemade tomato sauce. there's nothing else like it. mmmmmmmm.... 'course, i did put a little parmesan on top. that's not bad, considering how i used to be notorious for adding extra cheddar to my mac and cheesae.

I still do that. you have to when you buy generic.

The only vegan I know is very overweight. I thikn the problem is too many starches and carbs in the diet. Several marmots and a gopher tortoise were killed to make this post.

YUM> grilled marmot with range free chicken livers, and a greaseless hairless wood chuck for dessert, a little chocolate bunny in between courses. There's a German restaurant in Bradenton Beach I frequent with great German breakfasts and pastries, certainly with lots of butter and cream, to which I am looking forward. At a few steps from my apartment in Holmes Beach is a place called the Beach Bistro, a very expensive place for the beautiful people who drive Jaguars and Land Cruisers and take my parking spot. I love walking from the beach to the courtyard past their windows with my lips a-smacking. This time may be I'll moon em. It's a spur of the moment trip to get out of a few days of work. Hmmm. reminds me. Moon Pies with wasabe...as long as I'm eating healthy.

the only thing about spaghetti is that a serving size contains like 300 calories or something totally ridiculous like that. but to me a serving size of pasta is at least twice what it says on the label. so in the end eating a plateful of spaghetti even with fat-free vegan sauce will fatten you up as much as a big mac would. and pasta is low in vitamins and minerals. to me starch seems to contain the emptiest of calories.

Amen, chico! The day I kicked my starch and saturated fat habits I started losing weight. Ain't looked back since.

carbs are good for energy. besides, i'm not overweight. i'd love to go cater a model shoot and fatten hollywood up. i usually eat three meals a day, one small, one big and one small, with a couple of tiny snacks in between. i almost never eat spaghetti anymore, but try and make it as healthy as possible. two heaping bowls smothered with homemade tomato sauce. the pasta is just the excuse for the sauce.

exactly. I realized that one day and just stopped making the pasta. more vegetables instead. love it.

that's a good idea. broccoli with tomato sauce sounds good. but if i'm allergic to tomatoes that might be bad.

I eat heaps of carbos and dairy, yet I'm underweight. None of this food stuff makes any sense. It must have a lot to do with how your body actually processes.

your dancing might have something to do with it. some people have naturally high motabilisms. i happen to be one of those people who stay the same weight almost all the time. i've been around the same height but gained some weight over the last five years. thank goodness i'm tall.

are you allergic to tomatoes, pez? I can't imagine.

i don't know. it's just that i'm either covered with: (a) hives, (b) chicken pox, or (c) bug bites. as far as i know, i have no allergies other than dust. there's no fever, either.

Going in for an allergy test can be illuminating. It's how I found out I'm allergic to everything I like, such as trees, grass, and cats. Not that I pay any attention to that, as I work outside amongst trees and grass, and I own a cat. I just sneeze a bit and blow my nose, which in all truthfullness is sort of fun in its own way. The whole deal with carbs is that not all carbs are created equal, if you know what I mean. Processed carbs are worse than unprocessed carbs, and carbs that have a high glycemic index are worse than ones with low glycemic indices. That's why I felt like shit the other day, I figured out. We were out digging shovel tests and I was drinking gatorade, and I felt pretty crappy. The next day I just drank water and felt great. And I think the reason is that Gatorade's carbs have a high glycemic index (which I learned after i drank the gatorade). I am going to switch to water and apples instead of the standard gatorade I think.

tons of unnessessary sugar. ewwwwww. i can't have a lot of sugar, particularly with caffiene. i'll have a cherry coke maybe once a month, never a coffee because the only kind i'll ever drink is a mocha, which leaves me shaking for roughly five hours. the best snack on earth, i swear, is an organic fuji apple. they're so juicy that it runs down your arms faster than you can eat the darn thing.

I really like Golden Delicious myself. I don't particularly like very juicy fruits though, which is why I don't eat a lot of melon or citrus. Just a personal thing, I guess. Fruits i do like a lot include bananas and grapes besides apples. I eat oragnes sometimes too, but still, that juice thing.

what about satsumas? i love those little things. i rarely like berries except for fresh huckleberries and wild mountain blueberries on a cool morning when the mist has just lifted and the berries are covered in dew. i always forget how good pineapple is. no: peaches apricots nectarines plums guava papaya kumquats mangoes

bananas make me sick, but i'd kill my own mother for a good handful of strawberries

All fruit is good. I'm a fruitaholic. I love trying those weird new fruits you see at the grocery, like those ugli things, and new kinds of melons, and there's a new one recently, don't know the name, but it's orange and has these little horns all over it. And since my girlfriend's from South America, she's introduced me to all kinds of stuff like guananabana and a few others I can't remember the names of. Blueberries from the market suck -- they're all watery and flavorless, dave's right about wild blueberries. I pick those upstate sometimes and they make a mean blueberry pie. You really don't like mangoes though??? I love kumquats, popping those little oranges in your mouth skin and all. No fuss no muss. I think I'll make a mango milkshake tonight.

i'm really finiky about strawberries. oregon strawberries are heaven on earth. california strawberries are nasty, even if they last longer.

strawberries spook me with those tiny specs. most fruit consistancy, and texture freaks me unfortuantely. I spit grapes out after I get the goods, banana's are damn strange. I have to resort to fruit juices and bi-products, as fruits just don't suit my mouth. apples are the best, they are consistant and don't have pulp, or anything other odd consistancy issue. Fuji, and granny smiths. im not uppity about organic or not, and like cyst pointed out earlier...organics are way more expensive.

buying organic apples is rather important. apples have some of the worst pesticide residue you can find on produce, and you don't even throw away the peel.

i think it makes a difference in flavor. besides, i usually buy one apple at a time, for a snack while i'm working. paying $0.77 for a delicious, healthy mid-work snack isn't that bad.

The red delicious from Washington we get out here look beautiful, but they're usually mushy. The goldens seem to stay more crisp. I like Macintoshes when they're in season.

i never eat red apples unless they have some green too. some of the best apples are red and green, almost striped. and they only place i've ever found them is on the tree in my yard.

it's true that the waxy coating they put on apples glues the pesticide right on there.

Aand what goes better with fruit than some nuts and cheese?

toilet paper

yes, we have no mark thomases. we have no mark thomases today. we've got apples and oranges. and cherries and berries. and all other types of fruit. but, yes, we have no mark thomases. we have no mark thomases today!

yeah yeah yeah ok, great. thanks heather. think they got an article on that search engine about carcinogenic DDT microfibers in my thong underwear manufactured in Indonesia that are slowly creeping up MY food chain? Everything is bad for you.

sorabji is good for the sole.

hi mark. it's been on my mind all day that you wrote something earlier. when you post it makes me kinda swoony or something. it's like hearing from a long lost friend. it's like a sip of water in the desert. it reminds me of how much you used to make me laugh. it's strangely comforting. it affects me. and no, i'm not drunk.

on another note, i'm sorry to hear about your mom. and your eyes. your eyes always look as if they are very focused on something.

Thanks heaven for Mark A. Thomas!!!
