Trained to crush the skulls of his fellow fellas, and he's excellent at it.  So for evening entertainment he watches small critters crush each other... no real surprise there.  What really offends though is all that meat gone to waste.  A perusal of &lt;a href="http://puppybeef.com/"&gt;PuppyBeef.com&lt;/a&gt; might have saved hundreds of hungry people - think of all that meat going to waste, it's a crying shame.  Bosintang is a national favorite in Korea, and I really think that as part of his ongoing, seemingly endless penance, he should be made to cook up a few batches.  There's a great looking recipe &lt;a href="http://www.recipesource.com/ethnic/asia/filipino/00/rec0001.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and of course wikipedia's &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat"&gt;reference of cultural canine cuisine&lt;/a&gt; is extensive.

Opinion is weighted that in its present state the Hotel is a depressing eyesore. We at C-B.com have a different view. We love the look of the setting sun peeping through the steel girders at dusk and the appeal the building has as an industrial space like no other in the area. We say forget the luxury hotel with boutiques! Wouldn't it make a lot more sense as an industrial art complex using the mall accessible first-floor entry space as a gallery? One could envision the building as is with solar glass instead of walls, a system of smelting furnaces on every floor, centered in the building and a swimming pool on the roof.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This town is packed with insipid, uninspiring, slacker artists who dabble in finger-painting, trash art, and the like. We C'Villains are seldom exposed to monumental, industrial sculpture, metal casting or any other form of industrial art. What do we get? We get Councilman Satyendra Huja's Fart-In-Place. Nick Currie of the New York Times wrote in an article reviewing &lt;a href="http://en.wordpress.com/tag/ex-alumix/"&gt;Ex-Alumix&lt;/a&gt;, a vast refurbished aluminum smelting factory in Bolzano, a city in the Italian Alps, "Who knew that abandoned work spaces could be so beautiful?" &lt;a href="http://www.artforum.com/diary/id=20807"&gt;Manifattura Tabacchi&lt;/a&gt;, a decommissioned tobacco factory in Rovereto dating from 1854 now houses art and &lt;a href="http://www.industrialartanddesign.com/"&gt;Industrial Art and Design&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt; &lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;was transformed from a burned-out store front on Minneapolis' northeast side. Buffalo's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: lucida grande;" href="http://www.buffalo.edu/news/9065"&gt;Grain Elevators: Wonders of Industrial Art&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt; are seen by many as distinguished works of industrial art. The old C&amp;amp;O coal tower would be a wonderful space if renovated. Unfortunately it's nothing more than a 'crack' tower for years and as a result,  a double murderer once made it his home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;Creative thinking is in order or the Tyvek Tower is on the road to being a 'crack' hotel. Halsey Minor filed a breach of contract and fraud suit against Lee Danielson and Lee Danielson intends to counter-sue Halsey Minor. That could take years. In the meantime this little Dali-Domestica has a bird's-eye view from her rooftop garden of the setting sun peeping through the steel girders at dusk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/762281268426239297-4998069198739317332?l=www.charlottesville-besancon.com%2Fleblog.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.charlottesville-besancon.com/2009/03/solutions-tyvek-tower.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (DALLIANCE)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762281268426239297.post-698567426466177560</guid><pubDate>Tue, 30 Sep 2008 01:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-30T01:52:21.838Z</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>too old</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>overtime</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>John Mccain</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>work</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>president bush</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>resting heartbeat</category><title>Overtime Over 72 - John McCain's Old</title><description>"Do you know any 72 year olds who work overtime?"  No preface as to why given, the question sparked a great bit of humor on the jobsite as folks tried to remember 'ole so and so...  We came up with one guy 74 years old who still works, although no overtime.... NB - he was on vacation at the time of the interviews...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously.  Old short guy.  Versus mature fit guy.  The presidency is a physical thing.  The toll it takes on a body is extreme.  George Bush went into the office with a &lt;a href="http://www.doctorzebra.com/prez/g43.htm"&gt;resting heartbeat of 43 - that of a collegiate athlete&lt;/a&gt;.  Now he looks old too... So here are the woodies, roofies, pipes, diggers, stoneys, sparkies and the rest giving their two cents on a basic, simple question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.jumpcut.com/media/flash/jump.swf?id=4F9AEDBC8E7111DD8757000423CF381C&amp;asset_type=movie&amp;asset_id=4F9AEDBC8E7111DD8757000423CF381C&amp;eb=1" width="408" height="324" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/762281268426239297-698567426466177560?l=www.charlottesville-besancon.com%2Fleblog.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.charlottesville-besancon.com/2008/09/overtime-over-72-john-mccains-old.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Aloha Ya'll)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762281268426239297.post-693367921873171086</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jul 2008 22:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-04T15:22:06.481Z</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>renovation</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>charlottesville</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>suck</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>7.5 million</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>downtown mall</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>urban renewal war machine</category><title>F the downtown mall project</title><description>the short of it - go to http://www.mydowntownmall.com/contactus.htm and let them know their plan to spend 7.5 million on bricks and other b.s. is bogus. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CVille is gonna drop 7.5 million on downtown mall repairs... $200,000 a year would maintain it nicely - equivalent to 38 years...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last time I went to a city hall meeting it was "well, we'd certainly like to put that $500 crosswalk in at Buford elementary school, to prevent kids from risking traffic accidents....  except we don't have the money right now.

Just picking themselves and having endless meetings and bagels and probably no less than a few gallons of coffee per person.  $1,000,000 bucks.  That is a lot of crosswalks for a lot of kids.  That's one $1,000 laptop for 1,000 kids.

Knowing life and schedules it could have as easily been four years.  Well here's to quality over quantity, and so to our wonderful readers we now may share the dirt, courtesy Lionel Estavoyer, who had the audacity to call the author of this site a coward in a short email sent June 3rd 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:sans-serif;font-size:85%;"  &gt;il suffit simplement d'un peu de courage pour inscrire un nom. Ca n'est pas plus compliqué. Et pour ma part, vous donner le mien ne me pose auun problème. Bonne journée. L.Estavoyer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;And really, honestly my first thought was to write back some decent nominally clever response explaining why normal, rational, capable Internet literate humans often use aliases rather that their real names.  And then Guns 'n Roses came on the radio.  And that changes things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;ALOHA M. Estavoyer,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On the one hand I might read&lt;wbr&gt; your catty email and reply&lt;wbr&gt; politely in French to explain why placing one's name&lt;wbr&gt; and other personal information&lt;wbr&gt; on the Internet is not the best plan. I might cleverly devise some&lt;wbr&gt; way to call you a full-blown (no pun intended) fool so quietly only a few,&lt;wbr&gt; perhaps not even you, might&lt;wbr&gt; hear it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On the other hand, listen up sucker, you've been had.  Chances are she&lt;wbr&gt; sucked you off and now you're wondering what that itchy rash is and when it's going away. Could be herpes; it often flares up in the summer time and when&lt;wbr&gt; emotions get hot, so try to stay cool&lt;wbr&gt; and calm. I recommend you go&lt;wbr&gt; to your local dealer and score something strong,&lt;wbr&gt; you may need it.  Swallow a&lt;wbr&gt; double dose, have a beer, and Man Up.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All that aside next time you&lt;wbr&gt;'re in town let's meet up.&lt;wbr&gt; Granted I won't be taking you to the C$O on my dollar (&lt;a href="http://avenue.org/afc/BookFestival2005.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://avenue.org/afc/BookFesti&lt;wbr&gt;val2005.html&lt;/a&gt;), perhaps Durty Nelly's though (&lt;a href="http://durtynellyscville.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://durtynellyscville.com&lt;/a&gt;).  And I promise not to kick&lt;wbr&gt; your bitchy little ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ALOHA,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Anson D.

We thought, well, maybe Blake is doing something positive with his Italian background by developing a tasty marinara sauce. &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;WRONG&lt;/span&gt;. Providence, Rhode Island's ex-mayor Vincent "Buddy" A. Cianci, Jr. is the guy using "an adaptation of an old family recipe - a mix of tomatoes, onions, garlic, olive oil, peppers, herbs and carrots." Sounds delicious, all proceeds go to charity (a scholarship fund in the ex-mayor's name) and Buddy is touted as having been "widely credited for revitalizing the city’s economy and &lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;positive image&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;." &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;WHAT?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There are a few snags in Buddy's story. First elected in 1971, Buddy (aka &lt;a href="http://hprsite.squarespace.com/political-is-personal-062006/" target="resource"&gt;The Prince of Providence&lt;/a&gt;) resigned from office in 1984, pleading no contest to a charge of assault and was reelected in 1991 with the campaign slogan, "He never stopped caring about Providence." &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;REALLY?&lt;/span&gt; In April 2001, Buddy was indicted by the Feds on federal criminal charges of racketeering, conspiracy, extortion, witness tampering, and mail fraud. Prosecutors alleged that Buddy ran a criminal organization from his city hall office and code-named their investigation “&lt;a href="http://www.projo.com/extra/plunder/" target="resource"&gt;Operation Plunder Dome&lt;/a&gt;.” He was acquitted of 26 of 27 charges and convicted of one charge of conspiracy, for which he spent five years in the federal pen. Buddy's sentence ended on July 28, 2007 and he will be eligible to run again as mayor, that is after his three year probation is satisfied. &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;WHAT?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;WHAT&lt;/span&gt; does this have to do with Charlottesville? Blake and Buddy are ex-mayors, of Italian heritage, and . . . ? &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Maybe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; it's Buddy's sense of humor; he once joked about coming out with other products such as Mayor’s Own Bread (&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;MOB&lt;/span&gt;) but thought better of it, although Blake is not known for his sense of humor. Or &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;maybe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; it's Buddy's sense of pride; he turned down the opportunity to sell his marinara sauce on HBO’s &lt;a href="http://www.hbo.com/sopranos/" target="resource"&gt;The Sopranos&lt;/a&gt;, saying “To accept would be to compromise the pride I have in my heritage, my ethnic background and my strong beliefs that bias against any individual or group is morally wrong.” &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Maybe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; it's because Blake and Buddy are Democrats (Bill Clinton and Al Gore love Buddy's sauce too). Or &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;MAYBE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Blake is "on the sauce" (we think not) which actually might not be bad. We recommend &lt;a href="http://www.jackdaniels.com/" target="resource"&gt;Old No. 7&lt;/a&gt;.

Speaking of &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;PERVS&lt;/span&gt; we at C-B.com have recently received information regarding a certain French Madame allegedly overheard &lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;bragging&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; at a local party regarding an alleged 'affaire' with a seventeen year-old boy. We intend to research this serious charge and encourage the Madame to &lt;span style="color:FF3333;"&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:dalliance@charlottesville-besancon.com"&gt;come forward and refute&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; what is currently hearsay (she knows who she is). Our source is very credible but one never knows the motives someone may be harboring. We also encourage any &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;brave person&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; who has information regarding this alleged charge to &lt;span style="color:FF3333;"&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:dalliance@charlottesville-besancon.com"&gt;come forward&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; as we consider it to be extremely serious and profoundly disturbing.

Humans would say “Get out of my way, idiots!” TOSHIBA GIRL should know ROBO-HO does not refer to a female's manner of dress (like a prostitute) as does Roboho. ONE does not recognize bad or good. ONE does recognize intelligence, function and aesthetics. &lt;b&gt;Ho&lt;/b&gt; represents a Lanthanoid named &lt;a href="http://environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/periodic/Ho.html"&gt;Holmium&lt;/a&gt;, atomic number 67, one of the rarest earth metals found in monazite and other minerals. Holmium has the highest magnetic moment (10.6µB) of any naturally-occurring element (not the magnetism to which TOSHIBA GIRL and MIGHTY SOURIS allude), is fairly corrosion-resistant and stable in dry air at standard temperature and pressure. Holium is used in nuclear reactors, flux concentrators and lasers for microwave equipment. In pure form, holmium possesses a metallic, bright silvery luster. However, it quickly oxidizes and holmium oxide has some fairly dramatic color changes depending on the lighting conditions going from dull pale yellow to fiery orange. Hence, ONE’s luminous color. &lt;b&gt;Ho’s&lt;/b&gt; crystal structure is hexagonal. For many purposes it is not particularly necessary to separate the metals as monazite’s decomposition products are radioactive, making separation extremely dangerous.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The discussion of ROBO-HO’s attraction to various humans and humanoids is vacuous and ridiculous. ONE does not feel and has no emotions. ONE is an early prototype of all humanoids and recognizes the beauty in the evolution of robotics. In that sense, ONE is beautiful. ONE suggests that TOSHIBA GIRL enroll in &lt;a href="http://www.japancupid.com/Japanese/default.cfm" target="resource"&gt;Japan Cupid&lt;/a&gt;, a Japanese dating website as she seems to need what humans call "getting laid." Objectively, TOSHIBA GIRL is brilliant in her field but is extremely lacking in social skills. ONE also suggests that MIGHTY SOURIS stop eating so much green cheese, purchase a periodic table &lt;a href="http://www.webelements.com/shop/section.php/7/0"&gt;mouse mat&lt;/a&gt; and get to work. The real point of ALOHA Y’ALL’s post was another reason to court Kyoto as sister city to Charlottesville.

It is clear to ONE that &lt;a href="http://www.beyonceonline.com/" target="resource"&gt;Miss Beyoncé Knowles&lt;/a&gt; is a very attractive humanoid who exhibits somewhat weak intelligence but who seems to have more than her share of &lt;a href="http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6549007.html" target="resource"&gt;liquid objects&lt;/a&gt; (that is a joke)  judging from her undergoing continuous translational motions dressed as a "roboho." ONE takes offense at that reference. There is only one Robo-Ho and she is authoring this post. Even the costume itself is "bogus" as modern humanoids say; ONE has no exterior lighting effects, shoulder pads, and no skin.

The criticisms range from "sweating is crass and un-French" to "is jogging is right-wing?" (&lt;a href="http://www.liberation.fr/" target="resource"&gt;Libération&lt;/a&gt;, a left-wing newspaper) and "it is a ploy to brainwash his citizens." Philosopher &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alain_Finkielkraut" target="resource"&gt;Alain Finkelkraut&lt;/a&gt; pleaded with President Sarkozy on the main state television channel France 2 "to abandon his 'undignified' pursuit" Mr. Finkelkraut suggested '&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Speedy Sarko'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; "take up walking like Greek philosopher &lt;a href="http://www.philosophypages.com/ph/socr.htm" target="resource"&gt;Socrates&lt;/a&gt;, French poet &lt;a href="http://www.mag4.net/Rimbaud/indexe.html" target="resource"&gt;Rimbaud&lt;/a&gt; and other great men." Jogging in a &lt;a href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/" target="resource"&gt;N.Y.P.D.&lt;/a&gt; tee-shirt certainly does not help his infuriated critics! Although eight million French citizens claim to jog, President Sarkozy has rekindled a French suspicion that the habit is for self-centered individualists such as the Americans who popularized it. Sports sociologist &lt;a href="http://cesta.ehess.fr/document.php?id=93" target="resource"&gt;Patrick Mignon&lt;/a&gt; noted that "French intellectuals had always held sport in contempt, while totalitarian regimes cultivated physical fitness." Media critic &lt;a href="http://www.bigbangblog.net/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=1" target="resource"&gt;Daniel Schneidermann&lt;/a&gt; said "Mr. Sarkozy uses the video images of his jogging as 'a major weapon of media manipulation.'" There is also snickering as to Sarkozy's form. Champion athelete coach Renaud Longué told &lt;a href="http://www.lequipe.fr/" target="resource"&gt;L'Equipe&lt;/a&gt; sports newspapers (one of France's largest selling national newspapers and its only sports daily) that "Mr. Sarkozy bends too far forward, his stride is off, his arms dangle and his feet hit the ground the wrong way." The coach also suggested the President to "check your diet because it seems you are carrying a slight excess of weight." &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;MON DIEU!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/762281268426239297-897642621178078973?l=www.charlottesville-besancon.com%2Fleblog.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.charlottesville-besancon.com/2007/07/le-jogging-non.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (DALLIANCE)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762281268426239297.post-2690475848246240679</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 Jun 2007 13:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-07-02T11:28:08.539Z</atom:updated><title>KYOTO AS SISTER CITY?</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Our city was not bombed in 1945 because our city was so beautiful and historic. The Americans &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;also did not send any other kinds of bombs. Our shrines, temples, gardens are palaces are still standing. Kyoto is a city on the island of  Honshu. We have many mountains on our island like the Hida, the Kiso and the Akaishi called by tourists the Japanese Alps. Tourists like our alps because of the alpine weather. Also our island has the volcano Fuji mount which is famous. We have also lakes on our island and grow much rice, fruit and very special vegetables. Kyo yasai are traditional vegetables in Kyoto. They have unusual shapes, vivid colors and are very nutritional. For these reasons Kyoto vegetables are highly valued and Kyoto is famous for our cuisine. Our island has lakes and rivers like river Shinano which is the longest river in Japan. Kyoto is very, very old. We are a UNESCO world heritage site called the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto. The first human beings were here in 10,000 BC. We hosted the conference on greenhouse gas emissions in 1997. Companies like Kyocera, Murata and Nintendo are in Kyoto. Kyoto University is one of the top universities in our country like the University of Virginia. Kyoto Institute of Technology is also very famous like Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Our only sister city in the United States is Boston and we would like Charlottesville to be sister city of Kyoto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:13px;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Ladies in Kyoto are treated very special, not like in Tokyo. Even Kyoto geisha would not involve in the vulgar conversation as Tokyo geisha. Geisha is a lady who is skilled in dance, music and especially artful, erotic conversation. It was in Kyoto's Shimabara pleasure neighborhood that "ukiyo" or floating world was named. We do not think Mr. Caravati would like Kyoto. We are much different from Americans. Confrontation is frowned upon and avoided in Japanese society, especially with ladies. We would like your nice ladies to come to Kyoto. Thank you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/762281268426239297-2690475848246240679?l=www.charlottesville-besancon.com%2Fleblog.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.charlottesville-besancon.com/2007/06/kyoto-as-sister-city.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (TOSHIBA GIRL)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762281268426239297.post-1579240928672566502</guid><pubDate>Sun, 17 Jun 2007 21:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-06-18T20:16:35.319Z</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>pendejo</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>osmium</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>prat</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>blake caravati</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>andrée king</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>lurid</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>degenerate dwarf</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>jumelage</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>dummkopf</category><title>Ex-mayor Blake Caravati Blathers to Charlottesville-Besancon in Private E-mail!</title><description>Pull up a chair y'all . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's almost too much to bear.  Almost. The first envoy arrived June 4, 2007:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If, you have an opportunity in the coming weeks, I would like to speak with you about your Besancon-Charlottesville webpage.&lt;font&gt;  &lt;/font&gt;As I am sure you are aware there are numerous factual errors in your rendition about the origination of the Jumelage. It is these and only these that I would like to try to correct. I am sure that you agree this Jumelage, all jumelages, are good things for our City and Country. So if we maybe work together to&lt;font&gt;  &lt;/font&gt;tell both sides of the story fairly, we all will be the better for it. I have absolutely no concern for the more lurid parts of your web page, although I think they are misplaced and have nothing to do with the Jumelage. I will give you a call this week in hopes that&lt;font&gt;  &lt;/font&gt;we can&lt;font&gt;  &lt;/font&gt;arrange a time to speak . Hope all is well.&lt;font&gt;  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font id="st" name="st" class="st"&gt;Blake&lt;/font&gt; Caravati&lt;font&gt;  &lt;/font&gt;434-242-7832"&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To which Charlottesville-Besancon.com cheerfully replied on June 7th - stating a willingness to meet with the &lt;a href="http://readthehook.com/Stories/2003/03/27/newsbizNoCheeseChumpsFrenc.html" target= "resource"&gt;"stinky French cheese"&lt;/a&gt; man himself and would be open to discussing any matter of his concern, provided a tape recorder be present to save such a precious encounter for posterity 'n hilarity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Held our collective breaths for a full two weeks... no reply... so to the blog-o-sphere it goes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and now line for line....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"As I am sure you are aware there are numerous factual errors in your rendition about the origination of the Jumelage."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a &lt;a href="http://www.yourdictionary.com/ahd/d/d0421600.html" target= "resource"&gt;dummkopf&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.yourdictionary.com/ahd/pron/D0421600.wav" target= "resource"&gt;click here for pronuciation&lt;/a&gt;) statement.  Here at Charlottesville-Besancon.com we spend hours researching the &lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=prat" target= "resource"&gt;prats&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pendejos" target= "resource"&gt;pendejos&lt;/a&gt;, heros and hucksters of Charlottesville - hyperlinking their follies, adventures, and feats.  Geeks to the core, we dig on getting our facts straight, and footnote/cite every story.  Besides, the truth is MUCH funnier than anything our puny imaginations could come up with. Obviously if we were aware of ANY factual errors we would immediately correct such mistakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is these and only these that I would like to try to correct."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Send some links.  Send some data.  Put up or shut up... Stinky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am sure that you agree this Jumelage, all jumelages, are good things for our City and Country."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So dense.  Denser than &lt;a href="http://www.saers.com/%7Ecraig/wood/index.html" target= "resource"&gt;dogwood&lt;/a&gt;.  Denser than &lt;a href="http://www.science.co.il/PTelements.asp?s=Density" target= "resource"&gt;Osmium&lt;/a&gt;.  Dense like a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_dwarf" target= "resource"&gt;degenerate dwarf&lt;/a&gt;.  No, Stinky,  while some jumelages may not suck, the whole point is that this one does.  It stinks.  It reeks.  It blows donkeys from up on high. It shoots defecated snicker bars into one's trousers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So if we maybe work together to&lt;font&gt;  &lt;/font&gt;tell both sides of the story fairly, we all will be the better for it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feeling better already... though you're encouraged to show us your data. Stinky is blustering because we have told our side of the story as a result of Mrs. Andrée "Show Me The Money" King proudly touting her/his/their side of the story all over Charlottesville, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libel" target= "resource"&gt;slandering and libeling&lt;/a&gt; to her heartless heart's content. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have absolutely no concern for the more lurid parts of your web page, although I think they are misplaced and have nothing to do with the Jumelage."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Au contraire, Stinky, the lurid bits have everything to do with this Jumelage. That is the point.  Instead of thinking the outrageous behavior of Mrs. King is misplaced, Stinky thinks the reporting of the situation is misplaced. Yes, it is a lurid story. In fact, there's almost nothing about this Jumelage that is not lurid, detestable, rank, and bogus.   Perhaps you'd have preferred some scribble on the &lt;a href="http://george.loper.org/trends/2002/Jan/68.html" target= "resource"&gt;$400,000 Free Speech Wall&lt;/a&gt;?
