I have to agree with #2 and #3 -- it's not a model train, and it only looks like one from the right angle. This is like me calling a fleck of lint a 1/100,000 scale model of a cloud, even though it's not made of water.
When I was a kid, probably 6 or 7, I was really into the book "Old Yeller". For Halloween I cut holes in a brown paper shopping bag for my arms and head, then I drew the book's cover on the bag. I even fashioned a dog's head out of cardboard as the bookmark.
Years later my mother showed me the polaroids she took that night. It was dreadful. There's nothing like getting suddenly embarrassed about something you did many years ago...
"#44. I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes."
This is the only one that I had a problem with -- I ONLY listen to my iTunes (iPod) on shuffle. I just love the moment in-between songs, waiting with baited breath to see which song will come up next and how well it follows the one that just ended. Then, once the next song starts, trying to figure out the common thread between the two songs. I must confess to taking it one step farther and assigning a "mood" to the shuffle play. (For example, "Today my iPod is depressed," or "My iPod is playing lots of cover tunes today.")
They can provide for their many, many children? Great. But can the planet provide for them? Or for us? This is freaking obscene. I feel guilty for the one child I allowed myself for the legacy he's destined to inherit, but eight-freaking-teen? ENOUGH. I volunteer to perform the vasectomy (or castration). No charge...
This is a simple suggestion, but I think that it would make viewing Neat-o-rama far more enjoyable: Make it so that there is an option to make all links open in new tabs. I hate following a link (forgetting to hold "Ctrl" down), accidently closing it intead of hitting "Back" and then having to track down where I was on your site...
Here's another buzzkill for you, Gail -- It's not free anymore. At least not for most people. Google has been tightening the old belt over the last couple of months and are cutting expenses with impunity...
I can't feel sorry for this person. I have, in the past, come across people who make a "statement" with their fingernails, whether it be with garish appliques on nails too long to allow for normal digital function or with glued-on extensions that can only be described as weapons.
There is a record for the longest eyebrow hair ever achieved. There is a record for the longest nose hair ever grown. Fine and good (I suppose), but these are not debilitating features.
Yards of fingernails is something better shed than cultivated.
I hope that at least several shards went home with the EMTs. Keep an eye on EBay, folks!

All things must pass...
He remained my doctor until he retired in the late '90s.
