Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, but when they lit a fire in the craft, it sank - proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it, too. Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser of two weevils. A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He sidles up to the bar and announces: 'I'm looking for the man who shot my paw.' This guy goes into a restaurant for a Christmas breakfast while in his home town for the holidays. After looking over the menu he says, 'I'll just have the eggs Benedict.' His order comes a while later and it's served on a big, shiny hubcap. He asks the waiter, 'What's with the hubcap?' The waiter sings, 'O, there's no plate like chrome for the hollandaise!' When she told me I was average, she was just being mean. A neutron goes into a bar and asks the bartender, 'How much for a beer?' The bartender replies, 'For you, no charge.' Two atoms are walking down the street and they run into each other. One says to the other, 'Are you all right?' 'No, I lost an electron!' 'Are you sure?' 'Yeah, I'm positive!' Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused his dentist's Novocain during root canal work? He wanted transcenddental medication. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. 'But why?,' they asked as they moved off. 'Because,' he said, 'I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.' A hungry lion was roaming through the jungle looking for something to eat. He came across two men. One was sitting under a tree and reading a book; the other was typing away on his typewriter. The lion quickly pounced on the man reading the book and devoured him. Even the king of the jungle knows that readers digest and writers cramp. There was a man who entered a local paper's pun contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did. A guy goes to a psychiatrist. 'Doc, I keep having these alternating recurring dreams. First I'm a teepee; then I'm a wigwam; then I'm a teepee; then I'm a wigwam. It's driving me crazy. What's wrong with me?' The doctor replies: 'It's very simple. You're two tents.' A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named 'Amal.' The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him 'Juan.' Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his mom. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, 'But they are twins -- if you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal.'

My daughter is 3 1/2 years old. She is almost a vegetarian. The only meat she will eat is chicken, and that is only sometimes. She drinks lots of milk (24-30 oz a day). For comparrison, most doctors recommend that growing teenagers get about that same amount. She also usually will eat cheese when it is offered, and she eats a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. Most of her calories are coming from bread, fruit, and vegetables. My questions is this, how do vegetarians get the protein they need? I know that soy (tofu) is a good source, but I really doubt she will eat it. I only eat it when it is in hot & sour soup, so I also would have no idea how to offer it to her. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

An excerpt from Ebert's review of the revival of 'Eyes Without a Face'... ***** '....One of the tasks faced by serious filmgoers is to distinguish good films in disreputable genres. It is insufferable to claim you 'never' see horror movies (or Westerns, musicals, war movies, teenage romances or slasher pictures). You're presenting ignorance as taste. The trick is to find the good ones. The French auteur critics did a lot of helpful spadework, resurrecting genres and rehabilitating reputations, but they were not always right -- and besides, you have to feel it for yourself. If a film holds my attention, it is in one way or another a good one. If it moves or delights me, it may be great. If I am distracted by its conventions, obligatory scenes and carelessness or lack of ambition, it deserves to be tossed back into the genre.'

For those looking for something intense: the Scream Forest way out on Staples Mill is quite disturbing. They really went all out. Carnival games, bonfire, wagon ride to the trail, lots of lights and effects in the woods. I was scared. Recommend thinking twice about entering the house at the end -- in the middle it is pitch black in an enclosed space with no reference point, and if you're prone to claustrophobia or are afraid of buried alive, etc., take the 'Chicken Trail' that goes around it. I would not recommend the attraction to anyone under 8 years old. Includes graphic stuff, like an automated body, bag over its head, moaning and writhing from where it is suspended by its feet in the trees.

Dating, huh? Well.... I had some spectacularly boring dates with self-involved actors earlier this summer. I was recently abandoned by a drunk first date (thank goodness).

And as someone who has been on both sides of single & married, I'd have to say that I'm currently enjoying the dating gambit. If you ask me again in six months I may change my mind....

The weather has been atrocious. While we were in Edinburgh last week, it was raining so hard that our umbrella snapped in half. As Nick said, you kind of understand why the Scots are so surly when God personally tells you to fuck off. It was like he was saying, 'Go home Mary Poppins!' Dublin is a fairly unattractive city, but the people here are amazing cool. It's the first place in Europe that I've been to where the majority of people actually liked Americans, with the exception of the 'fat ones who come here and wear green.' We went to the Guiness brewery and out on a pub crawl. Nick has been doing gigs almost every night, so we've spent a lot of time hanging out with Irish comics. The people love him here. These are some of the best gigs that I've seen him do. So yeah...I'm going to go back to the room and attempt to get an hour of sleep in.

Wouldn't hurt anybody, didn't hurt anybody, and people are spending their lives behind bars. There's no justice. But I also learned about my own strength. There are so many people who go to prison and give up, they say 'you can't beat the feds.' But I say 'fight every day,' and that's what I did. Every day, I wrote somebody about my case.

Castillion was rescued during the collapse by unnamed friends, and is now alive and well in the Ethereal. The party talked with him in the office of Din Dal Kut, who resides on a splinter plane. It seems that when Thulos took Terranel, the 'local group' of the multiverse was torn away with it, and all exist as a miniature multiverse in the in-between-place. A side result of this occurence is that, according to Castillion, the dead have nowhere to go, and have been gathering at an unknown city for millenia. Castillion is now dedicated to renewing contact with the gods, if possible. He has recommened that the party join forces with the Harpers, a secret society formed by the last Elven bard at the very end of the Great Retreat. Upon seeing Calleum and the banner of Heironeous in a magical viewing painting/frame on Din Dal Kut's office wall, Burne leapt to join his mentor, and was last seen in a battle in Rashemen, one of the lands that borders the Far East. The act broke the portal, and the party was unable to follow. Also, Castillon is Ian's father. Having reached the end of the original journey, Ian and Gregory are beginning to question if they should continue, or return to Tilverton to tell of Castillion's demise -- which was Castillion's request, as the truth would be too difficult to understand. Players have the option of sending their character off to do something long-term, and create and play a new character. The world stage has expanded wide enough to accomodate such. Once the false murder rap is resolved, the party may see the Breaking of the original Fellowship -- but the beginning of a much larger, world-spanning epic.

In response, I should stress again that the appeal of iPod and iTunes is in the device and the application -- the store is irrelevant to me. Others may feel differently.

actually, it doesn't say there's a new strong bad email - it just says 'strong bad email', as a quick link to one of the more popular features of the site. there is a new toon, though - another marshmellow cartoon that may amuse.

i heard a bit about this story - was this kid at any point a threat to anyone? did he have the box cutter for a reason? does anybody really believe that the passengers/flight attendants wouldn't beat the hell out of anyone who threatened them with a box cutter? it seems to be that safety is not insured by constant surveillance and encroachment of civil liberties and common sense but rather by public policy which promotes equality and fairness among peoples and countries. no matter how many middle eastern countries we bomb into oblivion (iran seems next) we cannot make them agree with western philosophy, capitalism, christianity, or as the u.s. government is claiming, democracy. and also didn't bush say during the presidential election that he did not want us to be nation-builders -i suppose he was correct - we destroy afghanistan and then we leave it to rot - we go to war against iraq and then have no follow-up plan - we are not nation builders - we are nation destroyers - the bullies of the world.

So -- we now occupy Iraq, yet a kid can slip box cutters onto an airplane. Can someone reassure me that we're safer now than we were two years ago?

Hey John! It's weird to hear that you didn't think that people in the UK care about US politics. The article that Ben put up was from the Independent and it is one of the most reputable and widespread newpapers here. That story was on the front page. People in Europe generally know more about US politics than Americans do, since our decisions seem to greatly affect them. People here are terrified that George Bush is going to get elected again and when they hear things like that story, they get even more nervous. They blame Bush for dragging them into a war that they don't want to be in. The protest against the invasion of Iraq in London last February was the largest public demonstration that has ever occured in England. Tony Blair completely ignored the consensus of the people, which led to his lovely nickname, 'Bush's Bitch'. Due to Blair's alliance with the US concerning the occupation of Iraq, the Labour party might lose its power in the up-coming elections. The Liberal Democrats have already gained alot of seats in Parliment and polls show that they will most likely gain many more. America is a super power and right now Bush's shitty foreign diplomacy skills have angered people all over the world and caused them to rally against us. Now the papers are saying that the US is giving Iran a deadline to prove that it doesn't have nuclear weapons. Sound familiar? That worked so well last time. How that hell can you prove that you don't have something? Any way, the majority of people here are intensely hoping that Bush will get voted out soon. English media is typically very well researched. The newspapers here were the first to release reports on the how Bush stole the Florida election. Okay...just realized that I'm rambling, so I'm going to stop myself there. On to fun things. Nick, my boy here, is coming to the US for Christmas! Yay. Isn't that exciting? He might be performing at that new comedy club in Richmond, but his agent is still working that out. Miriam, hope you realize that you're hanging out with me when I get home, cause you have to meet him. Okay. That's all.

ooyeah/Happy Roctober = Miriam? Anyway, just got back from my world domination meeting.....err, company staff meeting. The thermal imaging thing is basically a double check to make sure that there are not more votes recorded on the computer's memory card than were actually cast. It does it by having heat sensors that detect the heat from your fingers as you touch the screen. The problem that I don't understand is how do you keep that number from being messed with? Then again, I am not a computer software exper. As for Franken, I ignore him just as I do Bill O'Reilly. Thinking about, the reason they hate each other so much is that they are just alike except for the extreme opposition of their political views. As for Rush, I am currently in a phase of not listening to him, but it will be interesting to see what happens when he comes back from rehab. Never having had back problems (knocking on every piece of wood I can find), I can't imagine the pain that people must go through to become addicted to Oxicontin.
