Well, I really don't have time to make a continuum of all the unnerving things in life... and I didn't say it was the "most" of anything, and I didn't say it was disturbing. However, it is different enough that if I didn't post it here, most of our readers would never see it.

I'm sorry that this is not disturbing enough for you.

That was a popular vocal crutch in the 1960s. Didn't know it was making a comeback.

Found it http://youtu.be/i0OBpW1YwBE

What Mike_DK said. A sports collision isn't necessarily "inappropriate physical contact" and even if it were, both parties, being athletes, will probably get over it without lasting trauma.

Making girls pay for boy's assumed lack of control only reinforces barriers between male and female and the objectification of the other. Making boys pays for girls wanting to participate builds unnecessary resentment.

Ha! I can't believe I took away 100 years of that woman's life! Fixed.

Like the dinosaur fart story, I passed this up because I didn't want to deny Alex the pleasure of posting it.

But if robutt doesn't fart, how can it really be self-expressive?

I don't quite get this. Do you have to pay extra if other people use your wi-fi signal? My cable company installed a wi-fi router at my house and said there would be no charge, but they asked me for a password anyway.

There was a lot of wild speculation on YouTube (where it was REALLY originally posted) as well ("weather balloon!"). So I went to Wikipedia, and the page there links to this video.

I wasn't a teenager yet, but I watched it every day after school. So did my friends, and we'd discuss every episode the next day. I grew up and met people from other parts of the country that watched it after school just like my crowd. Now that you've reminded me, I can see that Dark Shadows was the Twilight of the 1960s.

The difference is that youngsters didn't have the buying power they do today, so there wasn't nearly as much publicity or merchandising as there could have been. And we didn't have the internet, where fans could connect and reach a critical mass. The powers-that-be pretty much ignored the fact that teens, tweens, and elementary school kids all over the country watched and discussed the same show every day.

I see Colorado is not a "right-to-work" state. If it was, she wouldn't even be thinking about fighting back. People get fired for less than that all the time.

Waste, that is true, but another difference is that stockholders expect dividends from profits.

Y'all need to Google around and see the front view of the statue. Trajan's facial expression is priceless!

I'm no chef, I admit. When I wrote that, I was trying to used an example of what your onions would be IF you cooked them for way less than the time required for caramelizing. Mea culpa. I usually just fry my onions a little and then pour in tomatoes.

Step four: wipe hands on pants.

More or less than $25 a month both sound like a bargain. The last place I punched a clock, family coverage was over $800 a month. No, I couldn't buy it. That was six years ago. Now, the same coverage for just me would be at least $500 a month.

That's in the U.S.
