HAH! Best laugh of the week...I now can't stop picturing in my mind a bunch of cops sitting under those big hair dryers reading magazines.
Cute.

Thanks guys. sorry I haven't been around much.
1) busy at work. crazy.
2) moving across town. double crazy.

Hope to be around more soon. Stay good

Well that's nice. I hear the executives of one of the major oil companies will sometimes go out and pick up litter. You know, one of those "look at us, we're not all bad guys" kinda things. I don't buy it. Just because a person or group of people I heavily dislike does something good once ...

Good lord. I can't wait until April 2.

Great link Millhouse...two very interesting articles.

The new PE gives me a lot of optimism. God do I wish that had been in place in my middle & high school years!

My wife, who is a former high-school teacher, has told me how this stuff affects the kids. Good point. With academics though,...

That's absolutely hilarious and totally frightening at the same time! :shock: I've eaten some exotic foreign foods before but even I couldn't tell what most of that was. (And on an airline, you really should offer non-exotic food as much as possible anyways, to appeal to the most customers.) On the ...

Well at this point I don't have anything to add after Earl, Fatman and Millhouse and said their peace. (Well done guys...especially Earl for civil tone and taking time from your busy life.)

Wow...this Patricia Sexton sounds like an alias for Ann Coulter.

Oh wow. Just....wow.
