I heard a story that Gerber tried selling baby food in some African country years ago, and found that people there had a problem buying a food product with a picture of a baby on it. Most every other food product had a picture of what's inside on the front, so the logical conclusion... Ick.
So it's ok for people to throw shoes at President Bush in effigy on the day he leaves office, but it's somehow "inappropriate" or "closet racist" to picture President Obama as a Wookie... Neat. Very, very neat.
I for one am convinced that Obama is from another planet, but he's too clean-shaven to be from Kashyyyk.
Mysterious?? "It is believed..."?? Good grief; they're called Light Pillars. Happens occasionally here as well, but I've never been able to get a decent photograph of it.
Wow; I see the, "Is anyone enjoying any other skating hot-spots?" question in the post, and click to see the comments about people having a good time ice skating, and what do we get instead? A retarded flame war over global warming. Or is it Global Climate Change now? Wonderful.
Nice. If the problem was the kids' names, there's still some work to do; taking the kids away from the parents didn't change the names.
The number of people here in support of taking the kids away is more than a little scary. I may not agree with the parents' ideology nor their choice of names, but I have to chime in with Melissa & ask, "who's next?"
Now don't be ragging on instant coffee... The people at work brew the coffee way too light (if I want tea, I'll make a cup of tea!), so I started keeping a canister of Taster's Choice Gourmet Roast in my desk; it's a darker blend, and I can mix it as strong as I like. It's actually got a decent flavor to it, far, far better than the standard Folgers or Sanka or store-brand instant most people are familiar with. A canister costs about $8, but it lasts me a couple of months at work, so it's money well spent. I liked it so well that I use it at home too, only brewing coffee when there's more than just me drinking it. Try some, you just might like it.
There are other alternatives to dry instant as well; one I've tried is Java Juice; it's a liquid extract you mix with water. Flavor is good, but the cost is a bit high; about $1 a packet, and one packet doesn't make a cup as strong as I'd like.
And I should also add that 2 cups (actually, good-size mugs) is my max for a day. No pink elephants for me, thanks.
Don't know if it qualifies as a magic word or not, but I've been told by several choir directors that if you forget the words to a song, just sing "watermelon" over & over, and nobody will be the wiser.
And Alex: if your daughter is anything like my kids, her recently acquired magic word will become more and more drawn out (puhleeeeeeeeeese?) with the extra emphasis of puppy eyes and maybe even a little tear in the eye, just for good measure. Make sure you know who's training who. ;)
That's good, but I'd love to see someone do replicas of the self-replicating Mutant Snow Goons from one of the C&H strips. That or Calvin's Snowman Yard Of Horrors. That was good stuff. Man I wish Watterson was still producing...
You mean there are still some who remain unconvinced that the whole carbon footprint greenhouse gas offset business is a scam? "Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt! Here's how badly you're damaging the environment; pay me a boatload of money and you'll feel better."
Cue the dead baby jokes. Or not. ;o)

Wait a minute; wasn't Bill Clinton the first black President?
This crap takes the Neat out of Neatorama.

Too funny! Don't forget that he's holding an ice cream scoop, and standing behind another snowman with several scoops missing.

Bunk. Pure. And. Simple.
