What's the best free thing you've ever scored? Love and lunch excluded. I found an insanely beautiful inlaid wooden dining table with a single drawer beneath running the whole length and accessible from two sides, apparently hand-made (metal not used in construction, all pegs and dovetails), with three different woods used to create the inlays. more inside

Curious, Nostril ...I demand your return! Seriously dude, you're as rare and adored as cat milk, and we miss your gruff fantastical-ness. Hear our cries! Our teeth are worn from gnashing, our stash of ashes low from our wailing annointments...and the garments...Jesus Christ in a bread basket, I have never seen such rending! Pretty please?

Curious George Responding Style When you respond to a post or comment made by someone, I am curious as to if you respond to what that person is saying at the moment, or if you respond to them as a collection of past posts that makes up an online persona?

Stuporous George can't remember... I seem to have a memory problem more often then I used to - but I don't really have anything to compare it to, so this is where monkeys come in... more inside

Curious George; Rape VS Beat-down Why is rape perceived as something forever scarring, while something similar, like a vicious beating to either a man or woman featuring the same kind of violent physical and psychological dominance is seen as traumatic, but not something that would prompt you to identify as a "beating survivor". To me it feels like the 'women as fragile flower' idea yet again, with overtones of women's sexual 'purity' being the property of the larger sociaty rather than the individual woman. more inside

Stupendous George... did you have a turning point in 2004? Something that happened to you or that you made happen that means your life will change? Win the lottery? Break out of prison? Sign up for Pirate school? I'm signing bankruptcy papers with a trustee on Monday. And I'm thrilled. I'll be able to move forward again! Yay!

Knowing You, Knowing Me ...How do you think the meeting of people online rather than in physical space will change ideas about how well people know one another? For instance, you know Celia from work, where you eat lunch together and talk about work, co-workers, and pop culture stuff. You know Boilingowls from a forum, where you've hashed out musical tastes, your son's pyromania troubles, what that thing is growing under your armpit, and revealed being the second gunman. Given both of them live in your city, who do you want to meet for coffee when your kid finally manages to burn down his school over the weekend?

Studious George; in which you became an expert... you have ten years and a million bucks to become an expert at something. You may audit any classes in any University on earth in your chosen field free of charge. Use the money for books, research, materials, trips abroad. At the end of the ten years, write a book about the experience. What would you study? What do you call your book?
