Now full confession
Eric Scerri
OK its taken a few days but I think I'm beginning to get the hang of
this group.
So far we have
wannabee academics,
retired academics,
complte cranks,
high school dropouts,
raving loonies,
what no bored housewives?
But in all fairness to the high school dropout. He at least detected to
true error which Scientific American made on my behalf. THE mistake in
the article is where I apparently lay the blame on our (present)
inability to solve the many-body Schrodinger equation. What I should
have said was that even within the orbital approximation there has not
yet been a deductive justification of the order of shell filling. Were
it a slightly more scholarly journal I would have cited Lowdin's paper.
In fact all this was spotted weeks ago by several PROFESSIONAL
physicists who either got in touch with me or wrote to the journal
directly. There will be one such letter as well as a response from me
in a forthcoming issue, probably two months from now. In addition all
the international editions which appear in French, Italian, Spanish,
German, Japanese, Arabic, Chinese and god knows what else have all been
alerted in time.
So all your combined amateur efforts have been in vain but very
entertaining.
I thank you all very much for giving me so much of your not so valuable
time.
It has also been a very interesting for me to "hit the sreets" by
joining this group. Some of the street fighting strategies which I will
no doubt acquire will surely be of great service in my work.

Ah, but in addition to yourself, whom you have described well enough,
considering the abilities you have displayed, there are also other posters
to this newsgroup.
They include:
Businessmen (some with doctorates)
Well known writers and theorists
Genuine Academics (some a little strange, but most are competent)
Librarians
Scientists and Researchers
Engineers
and myself, among others. The common thread is we like books --
that doesn't mean we all choose a book and then discuss it.
Chances are half the group wouldn't want to read that particular book,
and other have already read it, or are too busy with another book
to do so immediately. Thus, the discussion often includes books,
but hardly exclusively. If you have a book-related question, however,
somebody on the group can almost certainly help you. Well, maybe not you.

You are clueless. You have zero understanding of the purpose
and character of this newsgroup, you cannot avoid resorting
to incredibly stupid ad hominems, you cannot even formulate your
own opinion consistently, and you couldn't argue your way out of
an *open* paper bag.
Please go away. If you don't, strange and terrible things will happen
to you. Sophia Barkat will write a verse about you and rhyme your
family name (ideas, anyone?). Paschal will tell you that she likes you.
Kagalenko will write thirty-seven one-liners following up your posts.
Jim Collier will ask you to name any books you read lately.
If you value whatever in you that passes for sanity, get out while
you still can, and be VERY careful not to look back on your way out.
*Sheesh*.

But, Gee: where do *I* fit? I'm NONE of those listed things!
I usually feel like the shaggy, stray mutt who showed up at the back door
one night; and who, due to the kindness of the collective r.a.b. heart, is
allowed to sleep in the garage.
But I do love books. Boom-Boom told me long ago that loving books was
enough. :-P

Yeah, but the true prize would be getting yourself cast in

Sorry, I don't have an actor for your part, but (age and

Godwin. The real question is who does Steve Buscemi play,

I like Dennis Hopper. But the roles he plays are nothing like what I
am. If I come across that way in this newsgroup, well ... that's
interesting.
Spacey could probably play me because Spacey can play just about
anything, but there's no physical resemblance.

Both are reasonable, although I like the idea of Annie Sprinkle as more
kinky.
The problem is, we know Sprinkle enjoys sex, not to mention sex
performance, but we only know that P. TALKS about liking it, and I'd be
willing to bet she's not into sex performance.
Sprinkle is ultimately too natural to play Paschal.

Um. This is not a problem, so far as I'm concerned. And how would
you cast the incomparable Boom-boom O'Toole? *Could* it be done? (I
suppose Judy Davis could at least be expected to get the accent right, and
maybe Wendy Hughes might do, in a pinch).
If it helps, Ted divulged that he pictured me as Henry Fonda (he
didn't specify, but I assumed he meant the Henry Fonda of Grapes of Wrath.
He may, of course, have been referring to the Henry Fonda of On Golden
Pond). He also visualized Jeff as the pre-pubescent Ronnie Howard.
Needless to say, we both managed to disappoint him.

Nah; I'm a green-eyed brunette, who has never had much interest in having
kids.
My buddy says Sandra Bullock, but only because some people have thought
I look a little like her, and he thinks so too.
Personally, I want to be played by Cissy Spacek, or a young Judy Garland.

Ah! the second column is the names of actors! that explains it! ;-)
Now I just have to find out who Steven Buscami is.
I was told once that I resembled a football player named Joe Montana,
I think it was, and elsewhen that I resembled the tennis player
that married Brooke Shields (can't recall his name), but I don't believe it.
I actually most closely resemble Gary Coleman, except for being white,
skinny, bearded, and tall, with straighter hair and a big nose.

Without wishing to question your mastery of chopsticks, this is a bad
fit for your youthful mien. To wit, if I cast Takeshi Kitano in your
part, I would have to exercise my first self-casting choice of Tatsuya
Nakadai, over a quarter century of our age difference notwithstanding.

Back before goatees were popular and I had one, I was mistaken for
folksinger John Prine. The guy who wrote YOUR FLAG DECAL WON"T GET
YOU INTO HEAVEN ANY MORE. Neither of us were drunk at the time. And
once, before he got big, I got backstage by claiming to be Willie
Nelson, probably due to the fact that the Francophone geologist I

Well, I've only seen Oprah a few times, and don't know much about her or
understand why this is "funny". But she's always seemed to be a smart,
strong lady who is working hard at things that matter to her; so I'll
take it as a compliment.
But if I'm going to be played by a black woman, I want Whoopi. She's my
favorite commedienne, and I admire the fact that she lives her life
*exactly* her own way, no matter what anyone says or thinks about her.

For me, it meant I'm no movie buff. At least I've heard of Walter
Matthau, "my" assigned actor. And, since I am a big, old, rumpled
character, that's fine by me, even if Walter is a quarter of a century
older than me. Until I quit smoking more than twelve years ago, I
have asked for the Bogie of Rick's Cafe or maybe Captain Harry of To

The ending was a gas. The post office bought the sheriff's husband's
stamp design. (It had earlier been rejected? I've forgotten.) He
had pretty weighty matters on his mind. That was quite a tongue-
lashing she gave to Buscami's partner-in-crime. I counted three or
four "hecks" and "darns" and I thought she was on the verge of using
even stronger language.
No, wait. THE ending was at a motel in Bismarck...

I looked there. She apparently starred in a version of Jane Eyre for
which the following was the complete "plot summary."
Jane Eyre is an orphan who was raised by her aunt until she came to
Thornfield Hall as governess to the young ward of Edward Rochester.
But Jane is attracted by the intelligent and energetic Sir Rochester,
a man of almost twice her age. But just when Sir Rochester seems to
pay attention to her, he invites the beautiful and wealthy Blanche
Ingram to stay at his house.
That's it. Aside from the fact that Jane is raised at school and "Sir
Rochester" doesn't exist, were there any other deviations from the novel
of the same name?

For Meg Worley's proxy, check out Abel Ferrara's _The Addiction_, the

Taylor can be seen in Stanley Tucci's _The Impostors_, whereas Philip
Seymour Hoffman is to be found as Scotty sucking up to, and hitting on

That's it. Thanks.
As for the spelling - I'm lucky I got that close :)
ObMovie: Reservoir Dogs - an ok remake of "City on Fire" directed by
Ringo Lam and starring Chow Yun Fat (the coolest man in the world)
and Danny Lee - Steven Buscemi was in RD as well.

An opera would be good idea though I was thinking more along the lines
of a movie like "The Party" (Peter Sellers). An ensemble piece -
perhaps a large rabfest with a variety of stories all going on at once.
Ted and Tom Waites can do the score.
Halfway through the movie we could have nane and alt.postmodernism, in
a quasi-military/terrorist theme, crash the party.
ObBook: anything by Martha Stewart or Miss Manners - what would we
serve at this party?
yours in wet fishes and the Godwin and Zelanzy duel thread could be
an interesting way to move the movie forward. They go through a
series of weapons...

David J. Loftus
Points of information.
Charlotte Blackmer asked about Lili Taylor, who until this year had
developed a pretty weird and unattractive screen image, what with
starring "I Shot Andy Warhol," among others.
Someone else asked about Oliver Platt, and it just so happens he appears
in Stanley Tucci's delightful new farce WITH Lili Taylor in an amazingly
sweet ingenue role AND with Steve Buscemi, whose startling turn at the
microphone I mentioned on another thread.
Buscemi, as has been noted by others, has specialized in creepy losers,
from Reservoir Dogs to Fargo. He can also be seen in _Things to Do in
Denver When You're Dead_, an unsuccessful and fairly violent feature that
has its moments.
Regarding Platt, he is probably best known as a sleazy attorney in ...
oh hell, that stupid Adrian Lyne flick in which Demi Moore agrees with
her husband Woody Harrelson to sleep with Robert Redford for a million
dollars, and as the manic, coke-sniffing campaign manager in _Bulworth_,
but he's done stuff with more reach. I really liked his star turn in
_Funny Bones_, the strange film about stand-up comedy in Blackpool, with
Jerry Lewis in a supporting role of surprising depth. The first thing I
ever saw him in was a fairly small supporting role as the protagonist's
FBI partner in _Married to the Mob_.

I'm picturing Woody Allen's "Love and Death" -- when Woody's
character is challenged to a duel by the Count. Woody says
"If a man said that to me, I'd break his neck" to which the
count replies "I am a man." Woody: "Well, I mean a much
shorter man." And then there's the famous "Have your
seconds call my seconds" "Then my seconds could call your
thirds..."

I saw/heard her Gilda 2 years ago. That was and remains the
best performance I've ever been to. Now I have to see
Lucia.

sole raison d'etre seemed to be to provide John Goodman with an
endless stream of opportunities to make fun of him. And to set-up a
visual gag after his death, involving his ashes and a strong wind ...

I just saw her in "Manon" at the SF Opera; she was incredible, and perfect
for the role.

If and only if you can cook pasta as well as Bartoli, and if you can, then
perhaps you should host the next RABfest, a pasta bash, what with the
weather cooling off. For those who care about these things, Sigona's,
who have just opened a branch of their Fruit & Veg market in the Stanford
Shopping Center, sell a very decent freshly made spaghettini. Hoever,
their madeleines are quite mediocre.

Or one of those talky, yet fun movies where nothing much happens
but you don't care. Like _Smoke_ or a Jim Jarmusch movie. Maybe Lou
Reed could play Moggin? Harvey Keitel could play Zeleny.
: Ted and Tom Waites can do the score.
There'd have to be a good score.

Why not a modern day THE DUELISTS (Ripley Scott's first flick with
H Keitel & Keith Carradine from a Joseph Conrad(?) story) replete with
high-tech pagers & stuff with a slam dunk version of telephone tag?
"No way! I'm in Bawlmer for Bouchercon.."

So-- what are the chances of a pasta bash or a madeleine dipping
sometime between November 20 and November 22 in the foggy city and
suburbs south?
Potential traveller needs to know.

Hmm. A pasta bash does sound interesting; I love Italian food. :)
Unfortunately, my dorm room is not big enough for a gathering; however, if
someone else volunteers to host it, I will gladly bring pasta, tiramisu
and Bartoli CD's. :)
