Anonymous A25-54 weekday Arbitron gossip from chitownradio.com, WGN 1-4 p.m.:

April Total:
3.4 share / 11th place

When the Cubs play a day game:
7.4 share / 1st place

Garry Meier's show when Cubs play late PM or night game:
1.2 share / 28th place

Garry Meier with no Cubs game that day:
0.8 share / 31st place

That would be only 3.2 weeks of Meier in the total, with four 1:20's, one 2:40, and one 3:05.  I can imagine why he might be milking the imbecilic statue theme.

Family is from Peru...  never heard of it; but it could be something from the Andes or some small town in the middle of nowhere.  In Lima, there is a lot of hand gesturing and fingerpointing in heated moments, but no consistency.  They understand the middle finger, but I've not seen it used by many at all. 

The messenger was a temporary Rotarian hostage from Lima, but it was more than 20 years ago.  He may have pulled an Ole Rolvaag.  Maybe.

P.S.  Empanadas and De La Soul.

In Greece, the palm of the hand thrust towards somebody with the fingers splayed is an offensive gesture similar, but bearing less offense, to giving the finger. The gesture is known in Greek as "moutza". It originates from the Byzantine punishment of parading a chained criminal around town with his face smeared with cinder, or moutzos in Greek. An even more offensive version is achieved by using both hands to double the gesture, and smacking the palm of one hand against the back of the other, in the direction of the intended recipient. Both the one-handed and the two-handed versions of this gesture can be (and often are) combined with the term "na!", meaning "here you go!" or "there!",or "parta!", meaning "take those/this" or "na, malaka!", meaning "there, you wanker!" In Latin America, something similar is used. Except when the fingers touch the top of the palm as if one holds a baseball to throw a knuckleball. Usually when thrusted (bottom of the palm pointed to the person) to the person it means "fuck you." If the thrust is started from the rib cage then its generally meant to "fuck your mother." This gesture is highly offensive.

Verily, the only site I will ever need.  "Moutza"-->"chucha"?  This may take a while.

Is anyone familiar with rude Peruvian hand gestures?  I'm specifically wondering about holding up the right hand palm-forward with fingers curled at the second knuckle and thumb extended to the gesturer's left.

I'm going to risk responding to a Wheezer post now.

Did I do that right?

I don't exclude the possibility that I may have been had years ago, but the one I'm thinking of isn't there.  It's physically simple, although probably not automatic:  splay your right hand on a table; curl in your fingers but leave the thumb where it was; hold the whole thing up.

There may be nuances in terms of axially waggling the hand and/or drawing in the thumb.

Have Spacesuit, Will Travel is very good juvenalia if you're looking for something breezy.

QuoteConsider the headline that the stock market has been closed for 21 days. If we were to presume a) that these incidents occur in real time (as in, an episode that debuts on May 12, 2009 occurs on May 12, 2009), b) that this newspaper is a day old, and c) that the only reason the stock market would close is due to a terrorist attack, then that means that a terrorist attack occurred on April 20.

This world never experienced a 9/11. They had a 4/20.

So NORML takes up arms in the "alternate world"?

The royal "We" is a nice touch.

This thing has been around since at least September in the U.S.

What leads you to this conclusion?
