  1. Aiee, unconscious plagiarism!(I don't recall ever reading Pigs Have Wings but I might have) Hope the Queen's greedy great-grandpiglets do not sue me.
  2. Fun fact: the Canadian owner of the Derby winner , like someone else I have heard of, is a longtime Californian now, who was an undergrad in a Canadian university, aiming for a doctorate in phiosophy. He took his degree in the US and became a professor. Tiring of the academic life, he went into business and got filthy rich.
  3. Daunce you are a mean-spirited Kantian, and you would know this if you had read/skimmed past that first page. I already knew it. Cogito ergo skimmo.
  4. Indeed, Tony, communication is fitful with this poster. He can only pass on samizdats from his self-built Lubyanka cell in a malevolent universe.
  5. Obviously I have to practise my black arts harder - I need to delete my own triplicates, not cast them on others. Anyway 9ths comment was funnyx3. That cat is a dead ringer for my late lamented last cat, Damian.
  6. I'll Have Another is a Canadian horse! And I couldn't have named him better myself.
  7. He's probably doing both. I fear he is at risk of Euphoric Smugness Syndrome. But it's highly treatable.
  8. I have a vintage copy of the Ominous Parallels which is in perfect condition except for the first page.
  9. This is bad news for the Premise Checkers. Their ambitious plan of distribution free PARCs along with Atlas Shruggeds will be delayed. I can't see the ARI coughing up for reprints.
  10. Kings are 1-0 in the first period. I can see Dennis's happy dance from here.
  11. lol. True, they'll be sore-y. We look for a little more class in our secret celebrity initiates. Prince Harry was very receptive when he was up here and he thinks his sister-in-law Pippa might be interested.
  12. Damn! Just found out that the chief competition of the Iglovian Order, those pesky Illuminati, got both Elvis and Madonna!
  13. Before Its News would be better named Before They Get Returned to the Psych Ward.

    No Fun Cities

    It doesn.t. No. No. No. No.
  15. Sorry Adam, she's already signed an exclusive contract with ForevaYoung Energy Vitamins, who have already locked in the testimonials of three psychiatrists, two male nurses and a janitor.
  16. The enduring mystery to me, now that the chronology of the affair is known, is when did Rand fall in love with Branden? He has gallantly asserted that it was he who initiated the affair. Yet she was willing and surely must have been so before he approached her. Surely when you fall in love with somebody you feel the attraction, physical and emotional, fairly soon...it doesn't take years. Yet she encouraged him to marry Barbara although Barbara had doubts, as she mentions in the Passion.
  17. I was surprised too, I was working this morning and just caught the last 15 minutes -- but what great minutes. Thrilla.
  18. Caps 3 Rangers 2- There is no higher expression of 110% human endeaavour than the last 5 minutes of a one-goal hockey game in the playoffs. Guts and glory.T
  19. Oh I don't suspect, I'm sure of it. If you took off your sign, I would also remove the paper bag with eye slits that is my daily wear as a Leafs fan.
  20. Not at all. Just a helpful suggestion on incorporating Rand into the ceremony with a nod to the Fountainhead. Zingier than the Money Speech! Hmm XRay, Tony seems awfully defensive for some reason.....
  21. Stephen, What a fine expression of your feelings on this. Mine are similar. One of the first things I wrote on OL was a short piece on why I admire Ayn Rand as a human being, but I forget where I posted it; I wonder if you happened to read it at the time. In obeying your deepest self you most fully became yourself. You deserve the happiness you have found. Carol
  22. Sorry, I forgot about the damn dupes. They're metastasizing now. Why me O lord? (NOTE FROM MSK: I fixed it.)
