We entered our modest giant and will get it officially weighed. The other giants entered into the competition will dwarf our Atlantic Dill. Oh well.

Russ Dale Technical Rider

This contract rider does not include specifications on stage design, sound systems, lighting rigs, podium heights and styles. All of this is required to make Russell A. Dale happy.

Please do your best when trying to provide this extensive list of necessary items. In some cases, a promoter will refuse a demand (crossing out the request on the document) and can be done. It is, however, not recommended. So don’t even think about it slobby!

To save time and to be totally clear, please do not amend or change this rider for return. Instead, grab a separate piece of paper and thoroughly describe you objections or concerns and fax a copy for review to a representative of radhole.

This fat kid needs your help

Chub_McLundgrin.jpg

This grossly obese boy needs your help. Fill his gape with candies, bread, meat, Twinkies, cakes, pies, grease and chocolate delight. As you can see, he is unmanageable without the junk food in his presence.

For as little as $1.06 a day, you can fill this fatty’s stomach with hefty foodstuff. Without it, surely there is no way he can survive all of the cruel taunts at school and in public. To keep him quite, it is best his grimace be filled with foods. Along with payment, you get a full color photo of the portly child, a parchment list of his or her favorite snacks and a grease stained, crumb-filled thank you note written in their own hand.

Watch him or her progress through the years as they get larger and larger, knowing that your dollars help make this portly child’s dream come true. Witness the little large ones become so stout that they actually split their clothes at the seams and are forced to sit, naked at the dinner table, shoving pork roasts into their mouths and washing it down with glasses of chocolate buttermilk. God Bless.

“I Feel Filthy”

“I Feel Filthy”
Adapted from “I Feel Pretty” in West Side Story
New lyrics by Russ Dale


I feel filthy
Oh, so filthy
I feel filthy and homely and stray
And I pity any one
Who is me today

I feel mangy
Oh, so mangy
It’s alarming how mangy I feel

And so filthy
That I hardly can believe I’m real
See the wretched guy in that mirror there
Who can that dirty guy be?

Such a shiny face
Such a grimy smock
Such a tarnished smile
Such a smelly me!

I feel poopie
And entrancing
Feeling skulky
And dancing for joy

For I’m loathed
By a cleanly wonderful world

I feel filthy
Oh, so filthy

That the city should write me a ditty

A committee should be organized to honor me

I feel smutzig
I feel naughty

I feel homely and filthy and fine

And so filthy
Pig Pen can just resign
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
See the wretched guy in that mirror there
What mirror where?
Who can that dirty guy be?
Which, what, where, who?
Such a filthy face
Such a grimy smock
Such a tarnished smile
Such a filthy me

I feel poopie
And entrancing

Feeling skulky
And dancing for joy

For I’m loathed
By a cleanly wonderful world!

engage photonic laser thruster!

Young Bae's photonic laser thruster sounds promising. A PLT-powered spacecraft could theoretically push a rocket ship faster than 62 miles per second, allowing a journey to Mars in less than a week.

Bae’s PLT places a laser within a resonant optical cavity to produce stable and reliable thrust, the perfect jive for spacecraft control or propulsion.

Bae will be a presenter at The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) SPACE 2007 Conference & Exposition September 18-20 in Long Beach, California. The line up: Space Transportation Systems, Promising Space Concepts from the NASA Institute of Advanced Concepts (NIAC), Space Systems for the Next 50 Years and Advanced Vehicle Systems.

Wish I could go.
