I am not happy right now, and neither is my boss. I am a paralegal at a Seattle law firm. Last week, a client of ours brought in a video tape to use as an exhibit in his hearing this morning. It is a Hi8 video that he shot of himself and his family, on his own Hi8 camcorder. I brought...
On a lighter note it is illegal to peel an orange in a hotel room in California. In New York, it is illegal to play any game on Sunday other than baseball. In Hawaii, it is illegal to walk around with pennies in your ears.
October 29, 1969: ARPANET, the world's first packet-switching network, becomes operational, for the (at the time unfulfilled) purpose of providing a venue for Kirk vs. Picard debates. Hilarity ensues. Nearly four decades later, the Internet exhibits civilization's greatest achievement...
1) YES. Especially when eating a dish with prawns. I save a prawn for the last bite. Also, when eating a piece of pie, I eat the crust first. 2) Never done it, never seen it done. 3) A friend of mine does this. Says he turns whatever he is eating into "Chinese food".
October 10, 1979 - Pac-Man debuts in Japan. I got all the patterns down up until the ninth key I got Speedy on my tail and I know it's either him or me
October 3, 1955: Captain Kangaroo makes his debut on CBS. The Mickey Mouse Club makes its debut on ABC. 40 years later to the day, O.J. Simpson is acquitted. Hilarity ensues.
You can't expect a prepubescent child to understand adult sexuality. To wear sexy clothes is to signal one's readiness to mate. In my opinion, it is impossible for a nine year old to "genuinely think it's cool to be sexy" for the same reason it's impossible for them to consent to having sex...
Carbonic acid, from the carbonated water. The stuff that dissolves a tooth overnight according to popular legend. Wikipedia says it is a "weak" acid, so maybe it doesn't make that much of a difference.
I absolutely agree with this. Baggy pants and muffin tops may be annoying but they are ultimately harmless. (I don't see what bad parenting has to do with this.) However, the premature sexualization of children is actually harmful, and worth worrying about. How about all the bovine growth...
Because the trends that adults come up with are far worse. What is the "comb-over" haircut, if not the adult male version of the muffin top -- a futile exercise in denial? Comb-overs, midlife-crisis-mobiles, and nostalgia for The Police are far more sickening than any youth trends. Kids do...
Yet, what is one of the most common criticisms of sfx-laden action movies? Too many effects, NO PLOT! :) I like my action movies with a lot of "stuff" in them. Nothing is worse than a thin plot stretched to the breaking point in order to fill time.
Criterion laserdisc of Cronenberg's CRASH. First the movie, then the commentary. Disney's SLEEPING BEAUTY. Again, movie first then commentary. A few TV shows (on DVD) I've watched multiple episodes twice in the same day. Arrested Development, Weeds.
There are tons of new spoilers swimming around the comic book websites. members will include Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash (Wally), Green Lantern (Jon), Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter members will be young (early in their careers) with the exception of the older, wiser MM not an...
MUFFIN TOPS Combine the following: 1) Jeans that are a little too tight 2) A top that is a little too short 3) A young woman who isn't as hot as she thinks she is The result is MUFFIN TOPS which must be filled with jelly because jam does not shake like that. :)
The clothing, slang, and music embraced by teenagers is supposed to baffle and enrage their parents. That is why teenagers exist. Without the rebellious attitude, teenagers would have no purpose; they would be nothing more than miniature adults. Popular culture would grind to a halt.
