is an absolutely fantastic line in the 6th paragraph of this one. . . ]
you have got to be kidding me, case 19 in a series. cbs
to produce "the real beverly hillbillies". "the show is not designed to
mock the rural family. . . 'The intent is to be respective but at the same
time enjoy the humor that comes from the fish-out-of-water scenario of the
show.'" ah. of course. [via fark]
hey! you! outta the pool! case 5 in a series. "An
Oxnard man faces felony charges for torturing and dissecting his daughter's
pet guinea pig because he thought it was a camera-equipped robot placed in
his home by government agents." [via fark]

people unclear on the concept. has anyone else seen the mercedes benz
commercial that has various songs about mercedes playing, and talks about
how great the cars are, and how you can drive one instead of just hearing
songs about them? fine concept, except the commercial opens with janis
singing, "oh lord, won't you buy me a mercedes benz?"
wil wheaton
on copyright law. faboo.
you have got to be kidding me, case 18 in a series. "President
George W. Bush is among 60 non-players being considered this month by a
screening committee for inclusion on the Hall of Fame veterans' ballot."

"For those who have never been to Boston, the Big Dig is
a vast road construction project that has been disrupting traffic since
about, oh, 1918, when the Red Sox last won the World Series, and probably

is a really excellent article.]

you know, i was all excited to discover that the postal service was joining the 21st century.
they've got a mover's guide
website with a place to change your
address online. great! so, i fill out the online forms, and get to the
almost last step, when it suddenly - without previous warning - gives you
two options for submitting the form. "Select this option to submit online.
You will be charged a $1.00 credit card processing fee upon successful
completion of your change of address request." sigh. . . it was
almost a really great service from the usps. . .
watching last nights
game, i was actally excited about baseball again. huh. go figure.
apparently, mets fans are even
more despondent than redsox fans at this

cheer, "go on strike! go on strike!" oof.

hey! you! outta the pool! case 4 in a series. "A
Winter Haven, Fla., man is getting a life term for murder, after claiming

you have got to be kidding me, case 17 in a series. "The
Senate is weighing legislation that could restrict the number of times you
can watch a movie on DVD or video. The aim is to cut down on piracy. DVD's
