Not to rain on anyone’s parade, and I do appreciate everything people here do to share info and ideas … but I removed Meebo from my page early on not so much because it was ugly (which it is) but because it gave inaccurate information — it would show me as logged out even when I was here and often had me as logged on when I wasn’t.
As to the style of chat, it seems very 1990s to me; ICQ and all that. But a problem that is worth knowing about is ads accumulating in a Meebo window left unattended — here, for example.(She is a stumbler so I have sent her a message to let her know)
Ziegfield Girl Circa 1910’s / 20
Cloggo:— Love the Louise Brooks hairstyle in fact I rather suspect it IS Louise Brooks and NOT a Ziegfield Girl. See Below
I am sure that’s Louise Brooks and would just like to add, Cloggo, for your education not that you’ll take any notice, that in my experience women (these days) who wear their hair like that not only have a high-maintenance hairstyle but a very high-maintenance personality.
The “not a hair out of place” type, you know? Cold as ice, highly controlled and controlling. Anyhow … who is G?Ever Wondered How GIFS work?
There’s a wooden handle inside your PC turned by a computer mouse.
Everybody’s heard of a computer mouse surely.
America's dumbest decade yet?

I’ll just snip a voice for the rich“$500,000 is not a lot of money, particularly if there is no bonus.” —Wall Street compensation consultant James Reda on Feb. 3, 2009, giving the New York Times a good example of just how totally out of touch the super-rich really are.
and one for the poor
“Keep your government hands off my Medicare.” —Anti-health care protester at an August 2009 congressional town hall meeting in South Carolina—the single most succinct sign that our country has become an Idiocracy.

Gangs of LA (from LIFE)
Jon Patrick, introducing photos of gang life in LA, writes: I quickly learned that if you start runnin’, you’ll be runnin the rest of your life. Better to stand and fightin’ even if you get beat, you can still look yourself in the mirror, and maybe even gain a little respect. Soon enough I’d hear them say in the halls that I was okay — I put up a good fight. Damn if it wasn’t the roughest school year of my life” but I wouldn’t trade those days, even if I could. The cholo brothers taught me to stand up and not take any crap off of no one. I don’t by any means advocate breakin’ the law, but I do advocate findin’ your voice and letting the world feel the weight of who you are.
The post is from The Selvedge Yard, a blog in which Patrick explores American life, fads, fashions and history. Some research and thought goes into what he presents and there are plenty of links to more.
The photos were taken by Robert Yager and originally published in LIFE magazine.
Time to go to The Selvedge Yard:
