Rebooting since the last one was going down a rat-hole (mea culpa) demonstrating why these things are a bad idea.

Interesting and funnies only.

I almost fell outta my chair reading this. I should work in that company...at least if you get your hair pulled off the company gets fined $360,000 benjamens...

Wait...that's bad! Half of her hair got pulled off! :w00t:

This is going to cause some more humiliation and embarrassment toward Indians. Not to mention the TAC will be putting up more ads for "reckless" driving.

Ok, now that I can't talk about politics, let's get on with prolapse and stuff. Here's something:

Everyone knows that the best thing to do in these situations is just embrace it, like Philadelphia building a Rocky statue or Riverside, Iowa becoming the "future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk."

Apparently even Borat was good for Kazakhstan.

"'While I was still on the toilet, I flushed it, and I felt something pull. I stood up slightly, and I could see a foot in the bowl of the toilet.' Cardiff Coroner Mary Hassell asked Ms Jones if she realised she had given birth. Ms Jones replied: 'No.' She said the baby was underneath the water covered in toilet paper. 'I could see the baby's foot, so I pulled the baby out.'"

State justice confirms he yelled "Tyrant!" at Mukasey before AG collapsed...

After listening to Mukasey defend the Bush administration's counterterrorism policies — its detainment practices at Guantánamo Bay, its interpretation of the Geneva Conventions' reach — Sanders stood and shouted "Tyrant! You are a tyrant!"

"Frankly, everybody in the room was applauding or sometimes laughing, and I thought, 'I've got to stand up and say something.' And I did," Sanders told The Seattle Times Tuesday. "I stood up and said, 'Tyrant,' then I sat down again, then I left."


I can't believe it! A right winger (judge) with balls and a sense of justice and humanity! Must be a commie if he's not for human misery, suffering, pain and death; which are the goals of we know who.

Damn, that's a shitload of tattoos just on the areas above his shoulders. That's probably pretty stupid since something like that would make you more identifiable if you committed a crime. Only takes one peek at the guy's face to know what he looks like.

Also, apparently Barbie has killed her rivals slutz . . . er . . . I mean, Bratz in court: http://money.canoe.ca/News/Other/2008/12/03/7624326-ap.html
