COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Part 5 - 2010 Bosco Awards and the Winner is Teresita/Selah !















PAGE 5 – 2010 Bosco Awards
Well we are back, and things are more or less back to normal although it looks like you’re going to need some fire hoses and a Zamboni to really clean this place up.
Anyway, as I was about to say before the storm hit, we are now ready to award the Bosco for the Poster of the Year for 2010:



And our winner is the current incarnation of Teresita, the one, the only, Selah.
Although she has been absent from the bar for long stretches this year due to a self-imposed exile, she has still managed to contribute a vast amount of quality posts.  In addition, she took on the role of barmaid for a period and did an excellent job.  There is not time or space to list all her quality posts so we will merely present a sampling.

That’s just a sample people.  The girl has a million of them and they just keep coming.
Congratulations Selah on a great year.  Hope you enjoy the Bosco.
Let’s give her a hand folks.
We are going to take our final commercial break now and when we come back we will announce the Bosco for the EB Song of the Year.
Sorry about that folks.  Looks like we got the feeds mixed up.
Well, here it is ladies and gentlemen, the EB Song of the Year for 2010 is
Song of the Year (To be determined by audience or by Quirk);

A great song and truly representative of this great old bar:


Well, that’s the end of our show tonight but before we go I’d like to take a minute to remember one of the EB regulars.  As most of you know Victor Silo passed away recently.  Victor enjoyed visiting the bar since its inception although he didn’t visit often enough.
I have to apologize.  I had hoped to have a quality memorial for VS and when it was clear that he was fighting his last fight, I pulled a lot of info from his blog, the facer page, his profile etc.  Unfortunately, having spent half a day I have been unable to find the file.  Therefore, all I can do is say a word or two from my memory of him.
Victor was a clever, witty guy.  I know this from arguing with him a number of times on everything from cars to my being an ass to proper grammar and comma placement.
Viktor could be sharp and caustic in the give and take of an argument, but as soon as the argument ended he was not someone who could manage to hold a grudge.  He also had a good sense of humor.  All in all, a pretty good guy.  And hell, who can ask for anything more.
Our sympathy goes out to his friends and family.  He will be missed.


Near the end, I told Viktor I would highlight some of his posts at the Boscos.  He responded “That’s what I’m worried about.”
Here’s a couple from Victor.

I dunno about that.
A friend reports that local Afghanis have started their own business making land mines that look like Islamist prayer mats. He tells me business is booming and prophets are going through the roof.



That’s our show for this year.  I’ve enjoyed it and I hope you have too.  Congratulations to all the winners.  Hope to see you at the after-party.

      Please be careful driving.  It you can stick around for just a moment I’d like to run a brief film that illustrates the dangers of drinking and driving.  Initially, I planned on running a video of the 1965 Driver Ed classic Death on the Highway, however, the ‘powers that be’ in Souls-R-Us’ management ruled that given the EB’s demographics the legendary “lineup of bodies” scenes might be much too graphic and provide the potential for creating more deaths than it might save.  Our actuaries agreed; therefore, I have decided to provide you the following video instead.

  1. I read every line. It was a pain in the ass trying to unscramble some of the html, and I was not totally succesful as you probably have noticed, but there is a limit to my patience.

    However, It was fun, a lot of fun.

  8. I agree there is definitely a well deserved congratulations in order for T.

    Wherever she may be…without Internet. She'll find out Monday morning when she gets back to work. Maybe someone should text her and tell her to run to the library.

  13. T is, without a doubt, the most prolific writer to frequent the EB and could take this award with her eyes closed. Congratulations, T, don't spend it all in one place. :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. Well I'll be.

    I painted my last painting when I was 27. Although I had the talent, I never had or made the time. Painting is like golf or tennis or the piano, you have to practice.

    it is a combination of seeing, painting in your head and translating it to canvas. Although I havn't painted since then, I still have most of my kit, never having lost my interest.

    Since then, i bought paintings that I liked and could afford. Truth be told, most of the paintings I bought, I could not afford when I bought them. I only sold one of them when I needed the money and have regretted it ever since.

    But today there is redemption.

    I bought a painting 30 years ago from a gallery in Maine and it has remained one my favorites.

    I never bothered reasearching the artist before...

    To my surprise I found out the artist's work hangs in these galleries:

    *Art Institute of Chicago
    *Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City
    *National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.
    *Amon Carter Museum, Texas
    *Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University, Illinois
    *Brooklyn Museum, New York City
    *Canton Museum of Art, Ohio
    *Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio NEW!
    *Farnsworth Art Museum, Rockland, Maine
    *Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco
    * Harvard University Art Museums, Massachusetts
    *Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indiana
    *Lauren Rogers Museum of Art, Laurel, Mississippi NEW!
    *Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington D.C.
    *State Museums of Florence, Italy

    I think I will have a drink.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Absolutely.

    Why do you think I stay?

  16. Is there anyone here that I haven't despised?



    WIO, I think.

    And sam.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Well, aren't you going to tell us who the artist is?

    I know exactly how you feel. I sold a mini-14 and have regretted it ever since.

  18. No, you are an EOL.

    Why else would I still be here?

    Thanks Deuce and Whit sorry about the links. Adding "The Highway Man" was a genius stroke. I'm pissed I didn't think of it.

    And congratulations on the painting Deuce.

    With regard to EB Song of the Year, I was metagrabolized when seeing the 'Bud' beer commercial in that spot. The actual EB Song of the Year is Toby Keith's I Love This Bar.

    I personally liked Marc Cohn's I'm Already Home; however, Melody was the only one who took time to vote so she should get it.

    This also marks my dénouement (of sorts).

    I only write this so that when I’m not posting regularly someone doesn’t postulate that I am ‘demised’ because I was driven off by something someone said here. A ludicrous proposition.

    As Trish pointed out, last Wednesday was the Feast of the Epiphany. I have had my own as it were. I recognized the fact that on most of the subjects discussed here I have stated my position, opinion, and/or recommended course of action, more than once, actually numerous times, way beyond the point of redundancy. Repeating them now bores even me.

    Add to that, the fact that I am now an internet outlaw having offended the powers that be at Google, and I have decided to take a break. (Some may accuse me of going on the lam. Not true. Our lawyers and a couple top notch hackers from the San Diego Temple are working on my case.)

    Actually, I will not be gone, merely curtailing my posting, possibly to the level of Linearthinker.

    Couldn’t entirely leave Rufus II or the Muses or my new BFF Stella S.

    I’ll just be going away until some new subjects come up or until someone says something so egregious here that I am forced to respond.

    I came to the EB about 18 months ago. I had just spent three months in the hospital. They had pieced me together but I was so de-conditioned from the hospital stay I could barely walk and needed a little oxygen to get up the stairs. The old EB was a welcome diversion. I got my strength back a long time ago. My stamina came back gradually. I no longer have an excuse to spend so much time blogging. Therefore,

    Chaos
    Confusion
    Destruction

    My Job Here Is Done

    (By the way, being somewhat anal, I am reluctant to leave something uncompleted that I started. I had intended to run a full year of horoscopes. There is only Aquarius and Pisces left. Melody has proved capable of handling the duties and the lawyers at Souls-R-Us have drafted a paper transferring all rights associated with the “Horoscope Franchise” to her if she states she is willing to do the last two scopes. If she only wants to do one or none, I’ll finish what's left myself.)

    By the way, Rufus II, I will still be monitoring activity at the bar, usually after midnight as I travel through the darkness with my dog Red and the Children of the Night (you know wolves, as in Bram Stoker, just so there is no confusion).

    Don’t be bad-mouthing or disrespecting Ruf.

    I'll be watching. The first time you go hating on me, there will be consequences and ramifications and possibly retribution from afar.

    The Rosicrucian’s have a long arm.

  55. Did you know. Bob. That there is an agreement among all Spanish-speaking nations, to the effect that every song that plays on the radio - every single one - must have the word 'corazon' in it?

    And I never realized until very recently, that it's much the same with us.

    Try to find a song that isn't a love song. (Okay, don't actually do that. Because I don't want to listen.)

    Try to find a radio station that doesn't play them, just when you're sour on it.

  56. It may or may not be what the other world is made of - because, you know, I don't jack about that - but it is apparently what makes this one go round.


    And what is love, exactly?

    Everyone has their own idea of it.

    Mine is the picture of a man and a woman in a sunlit kitchen, eating breakfast.

    Peacefully.

    (It's also the picture I came up with in opposition to everything I experience here.)

  57. But if you're going to end it - the Bar, that is - I do think Bob's remark that Rat is crawling with bacteria is the way to go.

  58. "Spank your inner moppet and grow the fuck up."

    I think I have.

    Marginally.

    I think you skate here.

    Skate, Melody.

  59. And it wouldn't matter except that you are a nasty piece of work.

  60. And at the same time I apologize for getting into the whole cat fight thing.

    That's especially ugly.

  61. I don't make them often.

  62. And what is love, exactly?

    WE FARMERS HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN, THE LANGUAGE IS MEAGER

  63. One day apologies will no longer hold up.

    And you, dear woman, should rethink your position on this.

    Perhaps true apoligies are meant to hold up ----

    and YOU HAVE A BLIND SPOT

    an egotistical, personal mental BLIND SPOT

    just sayin'

  64. "I'm doing just fine skating along."

    I don't think so.

    And I mean that we are meant to give some thought to things.

    It's okay on the one hand to be a goddess luring (haha!) others into the woods of carefree.

    Actually, that's a gift.

    But to take no position and to...

    Well.

  65. I somehow dropped into the sacred.

    You people. Need to just stop. Your constant churning.

  66. "Why would I even voice my opinion if no one is going to listen anyway."

    Oh, my.

    Someone always is.

  67. "I somehow dropped into the sacred."

    Shouldn't it be that I rose?

    Anyway, it's been incredible.

  68. And how is that working out for you?

  69. I'm sorry, Whit. And I mean that sincerely.

  70. "And how is that working out for you?"

    I can't imagine life without it.

    Can you?

  71. It doesn't mean I don't believe in God. I thought many years ago that I should find my way back to the church. Maybe I will someday but for now, I'm content. I guess that's when I decided I wasn't for organized religion.

  72. Well, the afterglow from the Boscos didn't last long.
