Nothing to fear? But fear itself.

Excelentemente Jim. Only one question. They cut the otter sketch?
Also, reader request.
If Orange is Brown, then what is Purple?
Couldn't make out the dude's name. It was like unintelligible.
Near as I can tell my old b-ball buddy halBrown makes six appearances here.
He's the bald dude.

Around my nook to " 'moke" is just a lazy drawl, dropping the first consonant: S moke.
try this one
"Et in the ar , otta go to erk, so we can't moke up." The forever doomed talk like that.

The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby
is the title of Tom Wolfe's first collected book of essays, published in 1965.
The book is named for one . . . . .
"There Goes (Varoom! Varoom!)
That Kandy-Kolored (Thphhhhhh!)
Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby (Rahghhh!)
Around the Bend (Brummmmmmmmmmmmmmm)…"
Wolfe's essay for Esquire and this, his first book, are frequently heralded
as early examples of New Journalism.
In the introduction to the book,
Wolfe says that when writing the titular essay ( the word titular!?)
(for Esquire in 1963, a look at the world of custom cars,)
he suffered from a severe case of writer's block.
As his deadline approached,
Wolfe compiled his notes,
without much concern for the standard conventions of writing,
and submitted them to his editor Byron Dobell.
Dobell is said to have simply removed the salutation
"Dear Byron" and run Wolfe's notes as the article.[1]
Wolfe's account of the custom car culture centers on Ed Roth,
one of the fathers of the Kustom Kulture movement
and George Barris, who had a completely different philosophy of customizing cars
(Barris' pure art approach, as compared to Roth's cars that were still designed for drivers)
but called himself the "King of the Kustomizers."[1]
The 22 essays in the book share no particular unifying theme,
other than Wolfe's experimental techniques in non-fiction writing.
Subjects that crop up in this work, and continue throughout Wolfe's career,
include his interests in status, culture, form and style.[2][3], 914-216-9379
Other major essays in the collection include,
"Las Vegas (What?) Las Vegas (Can't hear you! Too noisy) Las Vegas!!!!",
an early look at how outrageous Las Vegas was becoming,
before the city was as well known as it is today;
or
"The Fifth Beatle" and "The First Tycoon of Teen"
which profiled pop-music figures Murray the K and Phil Spector.[4]
The essay that many critics have considered the strongest is
""The Last American Hero,"
a profile of Junior Johnson, an early star of the stock car racing world and NASCAR.
In looking at a single day at the races,
Wolfe also examines the rise of the race day culture,
how it is a stark contrast to the Grand Prix motor racing popular in Europe.
The Last American Hero was made into a film in 1973,
starring Jeff Bridges as Junior Johnson.
As the title of the book indicates,
Wolfe liberally uses colorful language.
In addition,
he makes frequent use of onomatopoeia,
and uses all manner of type:
capitalization, italics, multiple exclamation points, dashes, etc. (farouked)
Another characteristic of Wolfe's writing
is switching from highly technical or scientific explanations
to very colloquial turns of phrase,
often within a single sentence.
And,
just as Wolfe uses medical jargon when describing the body,
he uses commercial language when describing products and slang
and vulgarity when chronicling sub-cultures.[5][6]
Most of these techniques remain
hallmarks of Wolfe's writing style
throughout his career,
including in his publications following The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby:
The Pump House Gang, another collection of essays,
and
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Wolfe's chronicle of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters.

I hate it, the location of the " learn more about formatting tags" at the top of the
Edit box has been my down fall numerous times,
the tablet is touch screen & the function can be fickle, some times also the return arrow
won't work to get me back to the edit box, thus,
killing motivation when the post is lost

Searching for Humility
I once believed I was so great
But loathe to say with some self hate
I was deviant and reprobate
Improved now some by years of late
But wait
Hypocrisy then became my state
For berating those I'd denigrate
For deeds I cannot celebrate
From days gone by I must relate
Stalemate
Foregoing that my new mandate
To persevere and delegate
But informed by youth at any rate
Don't bother for I'm antiquate
Oh fate

Martin Lab - UCI
The eye lens consists of cells that lose their organelles during embryonic development, leaving elongated structures that have no means of protein synthesis. Therefore, protein molecules formed before birth must remain stable and soluble throughout the life of the organism. The eye lens contains a very high concentration of proteins, most of which are crystallins. There are two major types of crystallins: alpha-crystallins, which bind damaged proteins in the lens to keep them in solution, and beta/gamma-crystallins, which are mostly composed of antiparallel beta-sheets and function as structural proteins. In the healthy eye lens, local order between the crystallin molecules maintains transparency despite the high protein concentration.
