Any idea how or where I can get a list of all city names in the United States? I can get lists for cities above 100,000 in population but need something that goes down to 10,000. Thanks in advance.

a google search on the phrase "u.s. cities" brings up: http://www.city-data.com/

Subject: Paper towel rolls

Hey there, was searching the web for "paper towel rolls" and came upon your website. Believe it or not, I AM looking for at least 100 paper towel rolls. I am attempting to start a new venture, and since I'm attempting to "pinch the head off of a penny", I have to save money wherever I can. Soooooo if you are able help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

I read your disclaimer, and I'm willing to take any abuse you care to send my way. Just let me know if you have access to 100 paper towel rolls and the cost of sending them to Georgia....

if i have the rolls and the cost? my mark had to pay five bucks . . . you want me to pay to send you 100 paper towel tubes? maybe the confusion is understandable, but i run an amy grant's mandible website, not amy grant's three wishes tv show.

(how's that for abuse?)

'cause believe it or not, I do need them, plus the mailing tubes are just too expensive. I just can't see buying a "ga-zillion" unnecessary paper towels, taking out the tube, and then giving the paper towels away, 'cause I only need the tubes. ThanX again, and looking forward to hearing from you ..... by the way "interesting site" ..... Imani

the paper towel roll prank was 6 & a half years ago. the rolls are long gone (along with most of the rest of my stuff, actually).

but you should totally try amy grant. the granting of a 100 paper towel roll wish would warm the heart of america!

Hey Deuce,

Just finished reading an article about Lori Petty, I was lucky enough to be an extra on the Bates Motel movie and her and I hit it off really well. Well enough for us to see each other a few times. We lost contact and I would really like to reconnect. So, if you could, if you would, forward my email address to her or have her contact me.

I appreciate any and all assistance you may be able to provide in an effort for us to reconnect.

i was at a loss for a response, so i wrote to ann landers, who sometimes guest-writes over at cardhouse & here's what ann had to say:

Okay ... (A) you (DoC) talk to Lori Petty all the time of course (B) Bates Motel - 1987. That's umm, almost 20 years ago we're talking about. So. I'm not really good with matters of the heart, but I'm going to venture a guess that she dated this guy a few times, and wasn't interested. I mean, if "lost contact" had meant _last month_ or something ... okay. But 18 years ago???? Put a stick about? If it's 18 years, either you're really lazy, or you didn't give much of a fudge, or the lady doesn't want to re-see you.

More on Beverly Hillbillies. Important . . . to me. Max Baer Jr. aka Jethro in 2006 will start building Jethro's Beverly Hillbillies Mansion and Casino in Carson City, Nevada. I could tell you about the spectacular plans for this casino but you may not be as intensely interested as I am.

who's not interested in JETHRO??

You can check out their website if you want to see the great things planned. Hope I live long enough to be standing in front of the Oil Derrick and have a drink at Granny's White Lightnin' Bar. Yesterday, looking in the TV guide I saw a movie "The Prizefighter and the Lady" starring Myrna Loy and Max Baer, 1933. I thought Jethro can't be that old and he's not because the actor was his father Max Baer, Sr. Max Sr. was a world heavyweight boxing champion, back when that sort of thing was popular, and actor. Watched part of the movie to see Jethro's dad and glad I didn't miss a hyper Busby Berkeley type musical part. Bizarre number with show girls preparing with him for a fight. Frenzied dance steps from this movie were copied later in "Reefer Madness".

oh, man. good one.

Was in San Louis Obispo a few months ago for a college graduation. Michael Jackson's trial was going on in a nearby town. Went to ask his devoted fans who had their own Michael Jackson artwork if they knew if their pop star known for Thriller was ever painted by a killer. But nobody was interested in discussing art history. They were on a mission to defend. The jury was deliberating so they were especially fired up. I felt like I was on a new planet watching four types of aliens thrown together trying to co exist. There were Michael fans with their We Love You Michael stuff. A lot of news reporters wearing suits either in their cyclone fenced area or interviewing fans. A woman fan wearing a Michael Jackson t-shirt was flipping off reporters. Mad because she felt they were insinuating guilt in their reporting. Religious nuts with signs like "Homo Sex is Sin" "America: Execute all Homosexual Pedophiles Right Now ! - Leviticus 20:13 arguing with the Michael fans. The Michael fans trying to silence the Jesus fans by shouting them down. One guy shouting "Myyy-Kal !! then the rest of the fans shouting "Inn - o - Cent" ! And there were cops, some looking bored, some watching or talking to people. One cop I heard say to another cop " I don't want to bring anybody into this world. People don't like each other". Well yes, especially when that world consists of Michael Jackson fans, Jesus freaks, reporters and cops. When we got back to our expensive because of graduation hotel room that night a reporter on tv said outside the courthouse reminded him of the bar scene from Star Wars. I haven't seen that movie in years but as I recalled, it was different alien types all in a bar. I thought that's pretty much was what it was like. Felt funny being there at the courthouse - voyeuristic. But too bad no answer about Bundy painting from any of the Jackologists.

jackologists. splendid coinage.

Joined a Serial Killer discussion group on Yahoo but none of them knew if Bundy painted.

A month or so we went on a day road trip. Came across the town of Cloverdale fortunately during their "Black Bart Days".

black bart ruled. when i was a kid, i thought it would be nifty to be like black bart. except for the part about having his laundry done. if he'd done his own laundry, he might never have been caught.

A festival with the usual music, food, crafts, art and all that. Black Bart was a popular enough to have a festival named after him stage coach robber. Not popular though with Well Fargo Bank because he would steal from them but not the passengers. One of the booths at the Black Bart Days had a postcard for a winery on the coast in Northern California. In the corner of the postcard was a sketch of a guy in a phone booth with the caption "In Boonville, a phone is called a "Buckey Walter" any resident would be happy to tell you why". So went to Boonville and stopped at a wine tasting place and asked employee if there was a Buckey Walter around I could use. She asked if I was going to make a local call. Said I didn't need to make a call and wanted to know why phones are called Buckey Walters. She explained the town had their own language developed in the late 1800s. To amuse themselves Boonvillians made up words and the language stuck.

that. is so. COOL.

The locals also enjoyed speaking their language to talk about and confuse strangers. Went to Buckhorn Saloon for lunch and asked a couple employees where I could use a Buckey Walter. They told me where the nearest phone was and same story. Buckey Walter is part of their language. The town is old, about five blocks long. There are three old Buckey Walter booths on the main drag with signs that say Bucky Walter on the phone booths. I took down the phone number of one of the booths and tried to call but keep getting busy signal. I wonder if on some phones incoming calls can be blocked. Later . . . tried again and got through but hung up because I didn't know what to say. Now I wish I got all three phone booth numbers and make them ring at the same time, same time of day, and create maybe some kind of folk lore something or other.

hello there, madeline. clearly, you've landed on the page that talks about my visit to the integratron back in 1997. i don't know why it ranks fifth place at google for the search term integratron, but i'm not complaining. another thing i don't know is any way to help you. i don't know (there i go again) which of van tassel's sons-in-law you mean, daniel boone or mister grumpy, but i haven't seen either of them in eight years and saw the both of them only that one time.

you might try contacting the goofy people who currently own the integratron. in 1997 misters boone & grumpy both lived on properties adjoining the "acoustically perfect tabernacle sited on a powerful geomagnetic vortex in the magical Mojave Desert" (as the integratron website says). maybe they still do, and are receptive to messages.

alternatively, a psychic call to the space brothers may be necessary.

Thank You,

we didn't go into the integratron. we didn't get nearer than the fence around it. at the time, it was dormant. or something.

re: its healing properties . . . if it really worked, there would be thousands of people trying to crowd into it.

and even if there were thousands of people trying to crowd into it, that wouldn't prove that it worked. look at lourdes, regarding which i'll quote anatole france for the coincidental second time on this page, on its stack of crutches left behind by allegedly healed cripples:

"hrmm . . . no wooden legs."

which is to say, if the integratron or lourdes or benny hinn really could heal people, it would be ridiculously simple to prove it.

2.) If so, those are not very nice words to say.
3.)

the second part's not a question. but since you didn't use your third question, i'll use it:

3.) you say "if so," so -- if i were saved, would that make them nice words to say?

(also, i notice that you work for a *marketing* firm. yipe!. talk about not nice....)

Hey doc,

I didn't mean to offend you in any way.

no worries; i wasn't offended.

I was just letting you know that those words about a church you've never been too are not very nice saved or unsaved.

are the words nice if i *have* been to that church? because i have. i like to look into stuff.

If I have offended you in any way I do apologize it was not my intent.. I just wasn't very happy to read something off that sort on a church I used to attend. What upset me was the fact that you called him a lunatic....

well, if it matters, i wasn't being facetious.

anatole france visted lourdes at the end of the 19th century and, upon seeing a huge pile of crutches supposedly discarded by healed cripples, remarked, "hrmm . . . no wooden legs."

If the reason for the Rock splitting was due to a campfire right next to it, then wouldn't this Rock fall right on top of the people sitting around the fire? Or, if they weren't sitting around it playing guitars, then could it be they deliberatly tried to see what would happen?

The Church does not reside in South Philly, South Philly is in the southern part of Philadelphia, the church is in West Oak Lane on Ogonz Avenue, which happends to be in the North West Section of the city. The chruch is actually 4 blcoks south of Cheltenham township, which happend to have one of the better school districts in the area. The Church is very active in the community, as well as their services. I agree with the part about South Philly is a nasty place to be lost in but go and see North Philly, Northeast, Philly, Germantown, Mount Airy, Bridesburg, Juniata Park, Northern Liberties, West Philly, South West Philly, Overbrook, Society Hill, China Town, Chestnut Hill, East Oak Lane, Olney, Fishtown, Hunting Park, Frankfort, University City, Fern Rock, Center City. To name a few. Although I do not live there, I happen to have family there and know a few people that attend that church. The church is about saving souls from going to hell, they teach how to get right with God, because he is returning real soon. Instead of talking about a storefront churchs do something to help out, donate time, go to church and turn your life over to Jesus.

Hey,

I have enjoyed much on your site, but have been busy of late. I did check out (a tiny bit) your thing with Dodie.

There is a great deal of unfair piracy in our world. Our past is full of it, and the present is not free from it.

But.

Are you protected by a multitude of laws or not?

no. it is a fallacy to believe that "laws" protect anyone. to believe so is an error of reification.

While you may not use many services that your taxes pay for directly (and you may find that you do more than you thought)

please don't patronize me. i'm not naive. i have devoted a great deal of time to the study of these matters. it's no mystery what governments do with the money they steal from those to whom it belongs.

the point is, if i do not want a "service," it's no good to tell me how great the service is while you force it down my throat. the mafia ran rackets in exactly the same way that government does. did the people they shook down feel grateful for their help? i doubt it.

those services create an environment where you do not have to worry as much about many many things than you would if there were not some form of taxation and system of social services.

even if these "social services" (there's an orwellian phrase for you) worked, it would *still* be wrong to fund them by means of theft and violence. but in fact, all these programs are utter failures. worse than failures, because they make the situations worse then they were before.

i don't worry about criminal individuals or terrorists; their effects upon me are rare, and usually comparatively mild. what i worry about is government, whose force and threats of violence make worse *every single day of my life*. in all of human history, for what product would people willingly work half of every year? i can't think of one either -- but the people of the u.s. are forced to do this. they are *forced*. if they refuse, they are imprisoned. if they resist, they are subject to violence. that's not freedom. that's not "service." that's horsehit. if an honest history of liberty is ever written, i guarantee that not a single chapter will feature "social services," and none of its heroes will be tax collectors.

I do believe in accountablity and representation for any taxation. If Dodie has done you wrong then more power to you, but considering the imagination and creativity and intelligence you have displayed on this site in the past I am a bit dissapointed that you are going so far off path on this one.

my disappointment is that people are so willing to be slaves and sharecroppers. i think that those who want to go down the path of servitude should be free to do so, but i wish that they would not give aid and support to those who keep in slavery those of us who wish to be free.

We met at Burningman years ago in Bethany's camp, I was one of the 'Cunts'. I came across a bit on Amy Grant and thought of you and the mandible. In case you haven't seen it, I thought you might enjoy this:

Also greetings to you and Wagner from ze 'Crazy Germans' (we're all here in Munich together).

I am sending you these scanned copies of you advertisement that I found in an old trunk. I have 6 copies and I was just wandering if they were worth anything. You can e-mail me back at arkansas.net.

hard to say (unless antiques roadshow happens to be working your town). actually, antiques roadshow -- what a racket. come to think of it, i'll be in arkansas soon. put the word out to all your friends that they should bring me all their valuable antiques. i'll be running a half-price special on getting them back. it's a good deal. mexican jumping beans. hooo-eee. seriously. dogies.

Hello,

Whilst browsing the web I came across your site. There you mention the ELO song "Kuiama" and sometthing about its origin/meaning.

Now, I know its trivial (crap?) but ever since I was a kid I have been wondering about this. Could you tell me any more about this ro direct me to someone who could, please?

from what i can tell, somebody blew somebody else's heads open. that's about as far as i got. i'm not so good with lyrics.

The author's name -- "Kronenwetter" -- can be translated into "gold water," ie, urine.

well, now, there, then, now. i never thought of that back when the goldwaters had their department stores....

Just fyi, not sure what language you tried to translate the name from, but it's German and is translated Crowns (or Golden) Weather, not water...

i blame cardhouse. wasser-ever.

I was doing some surfing in search of a copy of Arizona Frontier. I have yet to find one. I did however come across your site, and thought I would contact you to possibly find out if you have ever came across one, or any other interesting items from the movie. Any info you have would be greatly appreciated. This film and items from it seem to be quite elusive.

that's for sure. i'd question wonder whether any prints have survived, except that i've heard of screenings of it. all i have are some jpgs of lobby cards and its poster, nabbed from ebay auctions.

Hi, I'm a college student from Cortland NY. For my Historical Methods class I was given a 666 company promotional fan, most likley from the early portion of the 20th century, for an appreasial project. I would like to call the company and see if I can get some info on how they developed their advertizing, as well as some info on the product itself. If you could give the telephone number to 666 as soon as possible I would be in your debt. I'd also like to email you the fan for possible use in your gallery section.

666 cough syrup is manufactured by monticello companies, inc. of jacksonville, florida.
let me know how it goes, & give my regards to henry dean

Hi, thanks alot for the info. I was able to get my research done online and complete my paper without calling. The phone numbers may come in handy for a latter portion of the project. Here's the paper if you would like to see what I came up with. I'll email you a scan of my fan as soon as I get my scanner up.
