AWESOME! Just in time for the new baby too!

I can't wait to see Wallace and Gromit--I love the shorts and the movie looks good. Anyone seen it yet?

Too lazy to look up who was talking about it earlier. But I got the new Fiona Apple cd, and it's amazing. I would say it's my favorite of her albums to date. It's really, really, really good. I love everything about her music, her style, her lyrics, her voice, and this album didn't let me down. Fantastic.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Oct 9, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) What can I say? If the opposition wants to continue to lower it's numbers through neutering, contraception, & abortion who am I to stop them? Because my dogs always vote democrat. . .

All of yesterday I had that song stuck in my head (really randomly) that is about leaving a cake out in the rain, and I'll never have the recipe again. And then on my way home from out yesterday--I heard it! Yesterday was like the day of good karma and wonderful surprises.

So, essentially, it's highly industrialized and developed nations against 3rd world countries (and the US)?

I'm confused. Where did they find a society without any beliefs in a divine agent?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 09:49 PM) That's HILARIOUS. Now - they should neuter some human males and replace them with the fake ones while they are at it. Light years ahead of you my friend--I have submitted my list of candidates for the, uh, procedure. . .

I'm hoping that isn't true. *Really* hoping. I gotta go, God just told me to buy some Ben and Jerry's. . .

What will they think of next?

Two funny snippets of conversations with my advisor: #1 Advisor: My daughter and I went and saw Interpol over the weekend. Me: That's cool. Did you learn a lot of stuff? Advisor: What are you talking about? Me: Like, crime stuff, did you learn a lot about crime over there. Advisor: (looks at me as if retarded) No, not that interpol, it's a band. Me: Oh, I thought it was a European Union thing. Advisor: Well, it kind of is. But we went and saw that band. (awkward silence) Me: Haha, well, I guess you're smarter than me AND cooler than me. Advisor: I'm not smarter than you. But I am cooler than you. #2 In regards to my shockingly excellent performance review Me: Well, "work shall make you free." Advisor: Is that from the Bible? Me: No, it's what was written over the gates as Auswitz. Advisor: That's not a very nice image.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 03:40 PM) Damn, now I have to take the first part of next week off of work to read the book don't I? Yep. Poor sod.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 03:33 PM) Taylor is looking to get some attention by taking swipes at Rowling's characters. Anyway, Harry has the hots for an Asian Hogwart's girl in the stories, right? Cho is her name I think. Uh-oh, someone hasn't read the 6th book yet. . .

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 10:05 AM) And I just imagine Tom saying to the child "Help me ......., Help me, Help You. Help Me, Help You". Nice name for the couple too Soxy. Wish I could take credit for that, but alas, it's ripped from the tabloid pages.

How weird is it that, this is the 3rd time in 24 hours I've heard that German word? Pretty damn weird.

Yes, deny these women who are obviously desparate to have children prenatal care. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. If everyone worked that hard to have a kid instead of, oops, I'm knocked up, I have a feeling there would be a lot better parenting. Bastards.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 4, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) The Bartender knows damn well that people are going to smoke there and that theres gonna be a lot of second hand smoke. They take the job anyway. Its sort of like working outside on a construction job or something. Construction workers know that prolonged exposure to the sun could cause cancer but they accept that risk and keep on trucking. But you can wear hats, sunscreen, lightweight long sleeve shirts, all of those things to minimize your risks. Also, OSHA sets codes to reduce other risks for people in those professions--why shouldn't a bartender or waitress be awarded the same protection?

Let me just say that Rosh Hashana comes at a *wonderful* time of year.

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 04:56 PM) Forcing people in bars to go outside to smoke? You know what, considering the amount of smoking that goes on in bars, it would almost be just as easy to force the non-smokers to go outside to have a drink. I don't know, I think the free market should be able to address this issue. There are what, 6 million people in the Chicago area? I would think there are enough non-smoking drinkers among that number to keep a handful of smoke-free bars profitable. It's not that outrageous, people in New York know they have to go outside to smoke. So they do. It's not a big deal. QUOTE(mr_genius @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 06:13 PM) simple solution, don't go out where there is excessive second hand smoke... it's a fairly simple concept. Remember, you are going to someone else's establishment. You don't own it, it's not like people are coming into your home and smoking. YOU are going to THEIR property, not the other way around. Smoking is legal and if a bar owner wants to allow smoking in THEIR bar YOU should avoid THEIR bar. But i'm sure you feel you have the right to decide what everyone else does in their own home or enterprise. idiot Hey Genius, did you read the post? He's a bartender--that's his job. I.e. he has to work in an unsafe enviroment.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 11:24 AM) Does this mean that we should hail Miers? No. But I think it certainly nullifies "no judicial experience" as a useful attack. My point was more that Rehnquist wasn't the best thing in the world to happen to the court, and if you wanted to say that no experience matters, I would have pointed to Marshall first.

Who'd a thunk it? Paris Hilton breaks engagement: spokesman Sun Oct 2,12:21 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Paris Hilton is breaking off her five-month-old engagement with tycoon fianc Paris Latsis because "I feel I'm just not ready for marriage," the actress and hotel heiress said on Sunday through a spokesman. "I have seen the breakups between people who love each other and rush into getting married too quickly and I do not want to make that mistake," Hilton said in a statement provided by Los Angeles-based spokesman Elliot Mintz. Hilton, 24, announced the engagement with 26-year-old Paris Latsis, also known as Paris Kasidokostas and heir to a billion-dollar fortune based on Greek shipping and oil, in May. "I'm still young and have a very active career that I'm not prepared to give up. I've worked very hard to get to where I am. Paris is a great guy and we will handle this with dignity and respect. "I love Paris. He is my best friend and it will be that way forever. This man treated me as no man ever has. We will also be business partners and have movies in the works," the statement said. Hilton said last month in an interview in Vanity Fair that she was looking forward to settling down and was thinking about having a baby. She rejected his first engagement ring because the diamond was yellow, so another 24-carat emerald-cut diamond ring estimated to cost $2 million had been ordered. The couple had planned two weddings -- one in Los Angeles where she lives and another in Greece -- but had set no date. Hilton, a model who has acted in movies and on television, won unwanted fame after former boyfriend Rick Salomon released a sex tape made when she was 19. The tape, which appeared on the Internet in 2003, later landed in stores with the title, "1 Night in Paris."
