Of discrete quantized bundles of energyDue to the way that it behaves
He proved it’s made of particles as well as waves

I got them Relative Space and Timeline
Crazy Albert Einstein, He Sure Was One Stupid Genius BluesHe justified quantum theory
And the Brownian Movement of Atomic Matter
But what makes me a little leery
He was also madder than a Hatter
Though there’s no theoretical postulation
To show the existence of the soul
He wrote the formulaic physics equation

My response to the thread and my final exam.
The Grad Asst. pointed out you had the HTML syntax correct in the comment. However there was a dangling ” in the URL which required some cleanup. Congratulations PT – You passed and due to utilizing 3 HTML tags, Grad Asst has awarded you a B+. Feel free to submit additional comments for XTRA credit….
Imus played a song for Hamilton Jordan today.
I need more time…will you grant extensions? My grandmother died. Again. I can bring a note from the doctor. Pleeeezze…. “)
Hamilton Jordon. I didn’t get that this morning, but Imus must’ve have known it was near the end when he dedicated this morning’s song to Jordon and everyone down there in Atlanta. I can only say it’s eerie because the funeral will be held at the Carter Center, and we were there last week on Wednesday…the place was deserted, but I couldn’t help but imagine how crowded it would be if there was an important event…such as a funeral…not even thinking or knowing. Well, it’s a lovely time of the year…we took some nice photos in the Japanese garden…I hope they will turn on the fountain in the front which was turned off due to the lingering effects of the drought…at least for the day.
If you have fleas you too can win a Nikon digital Camera.

At approximately 8:30pm EST, Karith was actually funny. Well written and well delivered. Laughing instead of cringing is more fun I have to admit.
Sponsor Ski calling PT. One post at a time PT, one post at a time. 🙂
Frec,
Sorry to hear about your grandmother… Take all the time you want. Understand Professor Bartlett is scheduling a physics exam though. Saw this question on the top of his desk..
1) Who is the person responsible for formulating the theory of relativities?
Study guide on the top..
PTB,
Where did you find that program with Einstein writing on the chalkboard?
Thanks. It’s cool.
Einstein Click | Here
Thanks for the consideration on my loss. It’s difficult when these same people keep dying again and again. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. You’d think they would learn, but they never do. That theory of relativities has something to do with dysfunctional families, doesn’t it???
I may still have to take an “Incomplete,” or change majors, or something. The classes are getting way difficult. Part of that lecture was in Hebrew! I had to get my husband to translate. He said for somebody from Mississippi, Pigs Feet has a pretty good accent. Pigs’ feet aren’t kosher, are they?

There lives more faith in honest doubt, than in half the creeds.
–Alfred, Lord Tennyson
(HTML homework)
Here’s what I failed in my HTML homework: …the “blockquote”-thingy that makes the hyoo-mongous quotation mark along with the bold-faced type…
So, if I wanted Lord Tennyson, shown above in bold face, to also have the big quote-thingy, how would I do that? CAN I do that?
So much pressure in this class to keep up…
Another experiment…I’m either a slow-learner or a quick-forgetter.
Here’s the transcript of the Einstein Blues, as I heard it. (Could be wrong here or there on a word or two)

Pretty Funny Stuff. What happened to the Hulk today? I saw the whole show, but no bit from him or Tony. Wassup with that?
Frec – You’re getting the HTML thing. Grad Asst grades uour HTML at an A. I argued for an A+ but the Asst was insistent on the use of an “i-tag” to earn an A+. What can I say?
BTW; PT is now pulling down “As” with his HTML
BillySolHargus – ThanX
Channel,
You should post those that have passed the HTML test with their relative grades.
Maybe using a number is better then the A+ or C-. Would be fun.
And BillySolHargus, great transcribing of the pig feet routine.
Now translate the phone number that was said in the Bahrain’s World Routine? That was truly silly but funny.
BrucesYahooTubes
Thanks for these vids and “Imus on the Nines” BVB.
Principal ChanX:
Thank you. I am very happy with my A for the HTML class. Please pass my appreciation along to the Grad Assistant – they are the unsung heroes of academia. I will continue to work on the i-tag thingy…maybe a summer class or an extra-credit project. i-tag? would that be the “click here” thingy for internet links…? I guess I missed that part…I hope that won’t affect my grade…sorry.
Hey, Billysolhargis…that was a great Hebrew transliteration you did from Pigs Feets’ song…they must teach all those Bible languages in divinity school, I bet?
Frec – ‘Was living in Atl. and partying at UGA ’bout the same time as Hamilton Jordan. His death lent a certain amount of melancholia; lots of good memories, especially excitement about the “peanut farmer” getting elected. Some great laughs from Imus’ recollections…..Willie smokin’ dope on the roof of the White House. Miss those days….
Mtnherbal:
Thank you for your thoughts…I’d never heard about dope-smoking on the White House roof…is that true? I’m shocked, shocked! I thought the place was unsullied and hallowed before Bill Clinton’s arrival!
There was much I’d forgotten (or didn’t know) about Jimmy Carter’s rapid rise from peanut farmer to local school board member to Governor of Georgia to President of the United States…learned or was reminded just last week at his library…it is a much smaller display than either Presidents Reagan or Nixon because there wasn’t a long political record or a movie-star career preceeding, and then it was a short term of office.
There is a somber beauty to the gardens and park-like site of the library, an oasis of peace and serenity in the heart of downtown Atlanta… should be the perfect setting for paying tribute to Mr. Jordan, if indeed it is held there. Georgia flags are at half-staff I heard.
Keith,
You are welcome. Have a few more to process tonight. Some missing comedy routines from yesterday and today.
Also of course Imus on the Nine’s.
Many of you do not hear the last hour and I extend my offer again to anyone who wants them. Just send a request to bvb720@gmx.net and I will add you. Only thing I ask that you identify yourself by your sign in name.
No funny business. Just straight email from me to you concerning this 34 minutes of the program that many are unable or cannot get on RFD. Ask Frec. She knows.
I vouch for Bruce’s work. He does an excellent job with his recordings…building a library for posterity…
Hey, the ex-presidents get libraries and museums…why not one for Imus? Not too soon to start collecting. What else can we put in there?

I had made plans to go up to the “Red Earth Fesitival” in OKC., on June 6th but my husband told me, I have to find a dog sitter first before I go off watching Indians dance half naked….half naked it didn’t occur to me they would be half naked, now I really want to go 🙂 We can’t board our dogs, they are soo high maintence My daughter really isn’t interested in a cultural event either but will humor me a skill she has developed over the years.
Did Karith state this morning that her father and herself were not using the right term describing American Indians? She stated it is supposed to be Native American? That is incorrect and Indians will tell you, Indian is just just fine. ANYONE born on American Soil are Native Americans, it means Native to the land that is called United States of America. This is the problem with buying into the PC crap, they don’t always get it right by their definitions. I have read some Canadian Tribes refer to themselves as Original Americans, that is closer to a correct definition. American Indian in the case of Indians inside the U.S.A. is correct term. When discussing Genealogy or History, I use either the discription, American Indian or Indigenous People. Karith you are a Native American and so am I.
The Red Earth Fesitival
http://www.redearth.org/homepage/
So what do we call them?
Indigenous Americans?
Feather Heads?
Getthefrigoffourlandsyouwhitea-holes?
Does any one else see the Irony in Casinos on tribal lands? We screwed them by getting them drunk and stealing their land. Now they’re screwing us by giving us “fire water” and stealing our cash. At least they validate parking.
Well G2G, busy today. Gonna hit the sweat lodge and spend the day in quiet contemplation thanking the Great Spirit that I’m not I-Man’s proctologist and I don’t have to spend he whole day checking out the I-hole.
PT,
That is so true what to call them. There was an Indian in my husband’s unit at Ft Missoula. I asked him do you have an Indian name? He said yes it is “Luke Warm Water” Too Funny. I know there was a group of Indians up in I think it was Ft Collins, Colorado, who were tired of their culture being used as a mascot for sports teams so they called themselves “The Mighty Whiteys” too funny, they had t-shirts printed up the face of the mascot looked alot like Ronald Reagan. I really wanted to support them and buy one of their T-Shirts I couldn’t find where they were for sale. I had no problem what so ever with their choice of team name I think they were playing basketball?
Up in Montana, Indians are still subject to discrimination, the non indigenous population, really resents them being on their land already, when they got there 🙂 What did I hear the Indians being called growing up? Warhoops…yeah not very creative.
Hey Good news Blogging is good for you.
http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=the-healthy-type&sc=rss
I mis-remembered, it wasn’t “The Mighty Whiteys” it was “The Fighting Whiteys” Can you imagine the problems for anyone who is light or caucasian wearing this logo? Greely, Colorado.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MetisCulture/messages/3651?xm=1&m=e&l=1
That is so funny, Laree. I will ask my brother who lives in Ft. Collins and referees basketball 🙂
My “Eskimo friend” had no problem using Eskimo and Indian to refer to himself and his people…it surprised me – I guess I’ve been brain-washed by our PC-oversensitive culture. This may have started when we stopped using “colored” and went to “black.” This was acceptable and preferable terminology in the 1970s, and then it got out of hand when certain constituencies decided that was not good enough.
The link got trapped it was not “The Mighty Whiteys” it was “The Fighting Whities”

“Fighting Whities’ launched
GREELEY – Unable to persuade a school district to
drop a mascot name that offends them, some
American Indian students at the University of
Northern Colorado have named their intramural
basketball team “The Fighting Whities.”
Led by Solomon Little Owl, director of Native
American Student Services at UNC, the team chose a
white man as its mascot to increase awareness and
understanding of stereotypes that some cultures
endure.
They are upset with Eaton High School for using an
American Indian caricature on the team logo. The
team is called the Reds.
“The message is, let’s do something that will let
people see the other side of what it’s like to be a
mascot,” Little Owl said. “I am really offended by
this
mascot issue, and I hope the people that support the
Eaton mascot will get offended by this.”
The team is made up of American Indians, Hispanics
and Anglos. They wear jerseys that say “Every
thang’s going to be all white.”
“It’s not meant to be vicious; it is meant to be
humorous,” said Ray White, a Mohawk American
Indian on the team. “It puts people in our shoes, and
then we can say, “Now you know how it is, and now
you can make a judgment.’ ”
Eaton School District superintendent John Nuspl said
the logo is not derogatory and called the group’s
criticism insulting. “Their interpretations are an
insult to our patrons and blatantly inaccurate,” he
said.
**************
I am with Ray White on this it was humorous, which people don’t give American Indians enough attention for, I am thinking if you are an American Indian in this country, you need a sense of humor. I remember when Conrad Burns got caught up in that lobbyist mess and took money from an Indian Tribe and he tried to give it back to a Montana tribe, and they wouldn’t take it they said, Why don’t you give it back to the Indians you took it from…Indians being sarcastic witty ect..
Well finally here is 4 comedy routines. Two from the 20th of May and 2 from the 21st.
Enjoy

The real argument isn’t between all of us about the indentification of Eskimos, it is between them and the Inuit, sounds like an old distinction they made btw themselves. The PC folks picked up on it like it was a slur against the Inuit., who apparently don’t want to lose their tribal indentification like many Indian Tribes have over history.
they wore jerseys that stated, Every thang is going to be all white LMAO.
Karith mentioned being in Indian Princess’s, I was in the male version, Indian Guides.

My Indian name was Running Bear. My father’s was Swinging Belt. At the meetings the dad’s would all sit on chair or on the couch the Braes would sat at their feet. I remember one time during the meeting my dad dozed off. Well not just once, but this particular time I got the brilliant ideal to tie his shoe laces together. Well the meeting progressed to the point where they finished up and called snack time. Now nothing could wake my father up and get him moving like a call for chow. My Mom used to tie him up to a lawn mower and have me walk in front of him with a Twinky on a string.
So The host calls “Snack.” My Dad hears SOOOOOOIEEEEE! an springs off the couch like crack head going for “a rock”, takes one step and goes down like a red wood after a run in with Paul Bunyon. I, how ever, had not planned far enough ahead to move from my spot at his feet. Indian guides taught me a lot about strategy.
When we got home my Dad taught me something to. He tied me to the totem pole and showed me how he got his name.
PT,
You really should write up that entire experience for Digital Journal File under it was all PC.
*Adventure Guides, homogenization of America. I think I am with Mayor Nagin on this, with his chocolate city comment, I would rather get flack and keep the flavor.
If you think about it when you don’t use Indian Guide instead of Adventure Guide what you are really doing is removing The American Indian from the public view, think about it this makes their contributions and presences even more obscure so what is the PC folks real agenda? We already don’t get alot of coverage in the National News about indeginous folks this reduces their presences in the public square even more. There isn’t anything culturally insensitive about the term Indian Guides.
WOW, that is one insightful read PT. Could be the F-Day article?
Two Video’s from Huffington are included.
Hey Bruce?
Wondering if you had plans to do anything with the WABC Memorial Day thing. I think they are broadcasting Imus from his WNBC days from 9-10 EST.
Hope this link works.

BTW all. There is a very cool preview download available at the above link.
PT:
You are back in full form! Reading your story aloud to my daughter (college girl, not a baby), I could barely make in through – we were both cracking up at every other word…ROTFL-WTRDMF…
…are you a comedy writer in real life? Maybe you could ghost-write some bits for the show…? Take up where Larry Kenney left off – Summer replacement gig, maybe, since we’re not sure what’s happening then?
Keep up the good work in any case…
Indian Guides, nice. Same here.
Wampum.
Yeah my dad took “whomp em” a little too literally.
Wish I still had my Indian Guides hand book. Remember the campfire songs in it? I remember one in particular. It was question and response between Dads and Braves. What did Delaware, oh dad? She wore her New Jersey my son. Know it sounds corny but I was 8.
How now brown cow!
Damn I love the net.

Sounds like an all Day affair SkiWolf. Well my work is cut out for me.
Appreciate that link and the audio which I will be posting as a special presentation on YouTube.
Also have some other surprises for you all. But it’s under lock and key right now.
My ISP is upgrading to a faster up and down speed tomorrow, so just hope I can get the full 4 hours of Imus before I lose my connection.
And you know Ski and anyone. Why not take advantage of my “Imus on the Nines” presentations. No spam from me just good old mixing the true 34 minutes out of 60 that Imus is actually on the Radio Only. Just send your request to me at bvb720@gmx.net and I will provide them to whoever. Just one thing; Put your sign in for this group or even our sister group so I can identify you as a friend. You can even be a foe. I do not bite.
Now some quick history. You know “Cousin Brucie”. Bruce Morrow. Well he was my idol when growing up. This gave me the incentive of getting into Radio. Did the whole announcer school thing and did land a job at a small AM station in Morristown NJ. PTB may know it as WMTR 1250 AM. For a year I did News and had a 1 hours stint of working the board and playing what I call elevator music. Put in my own cartridges and production. Sadly it ended one year later when I decided that my Bank job had better benefits.
So calling me “Brucie” isn’t such a bad thing after all.
Thanks Ski. And everyone who put’s up with my shannanigans.
Bruce, that will be cool, but I don’t think you need to do the whole day unless of course you want to. The Imus thing is only from 9-10EST, I think. Thanks man.
http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080522/NEWS/80522026
ENJOY!
Brucie,
I’ll have links afterward, to pod casts for all 12 hrs of Rewound. (I have the last 2 years including this gem which I consider the greatest song intro I ever heard Click | here and you wonder why Imus calls him the greatest who ever lived ?).
Can you send me an Mp3 of Johnny Donovan’s K-Tel commercial. I’ll even look up pictures of the artists for you and we can do a T.V. commercial for it. Maybe get BruceTube mentioned on the show again.
PTB
PT,
You have me in stitches once again!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the “What did Delaware” link. I want to use that song with my students! I knew some of the lyrics, but never thunk to look it up on the internet. FABULOUS! Now, do you recall the tune? Could you whip up some musical notes for me PT?
PS…Love your “you conservatives” comment to DTT. He does overgeneralize about liberals.
PT, I just tried to post a thanks to you for the words to What did Delaware! I’ve always known bits and pieces of the song, but never thought to look it up on the internets. I think it would be a fun song to learn while studying the states. Oh boy, my kiddos are in for fun next year. Now I just need the tune. hmmmm….
Thanks again for making me laugh out loud again with your stories. PT, I think I love you!
So Clint Eastwood is a racist, too?
