Maine made a great stride forward in the area of civil rights yesterday?
Shocking. I was really looking forward to contributing too.
Remember that TV show where the aliens were among us, and the way you could tell they were aliens is that their pinkies stuck out, because they only has eight fingers or something? Just saying.
Openly gay director John Cameron Mitchell performed cunnilingus on an actress on camera in his film Short Bus. That's real dedication for you.
I would have used the Don Rickles method.
Protester: Abortion is murder!
Obama: Hey hockey puck! I don't slap the sailors dicks out of your mouth while you're working do I? How about a little professional courtesy here?

The words "Hero" and "Miracle" have been thrown around so much since 9/11 that they have become almost meaningless. I enjoyed your fair handed assessment of the event so much I read the article aloud to my entire family.
Thanks,

Unless it happens to me. Me me meeeeeeee!
or in doubt
run in circles
scream and shout
I'm shocked.
and the names Towanda Brawley and Morton Downey immediately came to mind. This was before I even heard the detail about the backwards "B". I'm surprised even a hack like Drudge would even risk running it. Do you think he'll be as quick to post a retraction?
She's no George C. Scott, that's for sure. Those are some mighty big shoes she's trying to fill.
No, it isn't. Nothing wrong with a serial format comic. It's been a long time since I've seen one around these parts. Anyone remember Dark Hotel?
"Oh, and the guy who wants to rent the movie just on the promise of some lesbo action? He's *really* going to be disappointed. The scene is like 8 seconds long, and nobody disrobes or anything."
That's what the loop button is for my friend.

I made it as far as "sapphic love scene between Scarlett Johansson and Penélope Cruz" before adding it to my Netflix queue. I'm not going to bother reading the rest of the review.
But too pricey for me, so I made my own: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thethompsonfive/169664785/
As much as this feels like a vindication for anyone who really cares about beer, it's also really bad news for the people of St. Louis. People who really don't need any more bad news. If you live near an A-B brewery I recommend going on the tour now. Given InBev's reputation, you can probably kiss those Clydesdale's goodbye. I'll leave it to the horse people to describe what a loss this is going to be to the Clydesdale community.
I still miss the dreads. They made Keef look more cartooney.
From Ms. Lay's website:
What's up?
I'm working on a book for Villard, a division of Random House. It's comics and information in four colors, 185 pages. I'm still shy about talking about it -- gotta meet those deadlines first (I DO believe in jinxes) -- but it will be on the shelves in January 2009.
Also, I'm currently taking time off from the weekly strip, although I am sending reprints to various outlets while I work on the book. Subsequently, i won't be posting strips here for a while.
Yes Bud is bad, but it's bad the way a McDonald's cheeseburger is bad. Not my first choice of beverage or sandwich but they both have their place. Also the brewery tours are fun.
From Suck.com to now, even though we have never met I feel like we're growing old together.
Indian food stores are great for rice, and spices. You can get a pound of cumin for what you would spend on one of those little jars at most supermarkets.
Beans beans beans!
I think you missed the point. Sure they're nuts, but they breed like rabbits. Demonstrating that the practical applications of intelligence are sometimes overrated. Natural selection is now working against the forces of reason.
That one hung on for years before DVD put the last nail in the coffin. How about reel to reel? I remember seeing commercial albums aimed at consumers on both reel to reel and DAT formats. Both were superior to what was available in their time, and both failed anyway. Quality alone is not enough to win the battle.
Personally I'm not interested in a big f-off television, I don't have cable, and when the signal goes digital I do not plan on buying a converter. Netflix "Watch Instantly" feature looks great on my 22.5 LCD monitor, and their DVD's look fine on my 27" Sony T.V. Maybe I'm a Luddite for losing interest in finding the perfect picture, but I have boxes and boxes filled with these shiny plastic discs that I hardly ever watch more than once, and I am not interested in acquiring any more. In short, I am perfectly willing to sacrifice some quality if it means I do not have to buy and find a place for any more stuff.
I received one of these as a gift last year. It was reasonably entertaining, and the kids sure liked it. Not enough so that I would buy a reload kit though. If you get the mixed herbs the basil will pretty much take over after a few weeks, and with continued pruning will come to resemble a bonsai tree. The pods are nothing special, just a plug of foam cut in half with a seed stuck in the middle. You could (although the directions expressly forbid you from doing so) even reload them yourself. I imagine rock wool would work just as well. Also the dripping sound goes away when the plants roots get long enough to reach the water below.
More like a cross between Sean Connery and Buddy Cole.
Don't they just have a cloaca like every other bird I can think of? What the hell does a goose anus look like, and how did you find out?
