    In need of a hug

    That sounds like a story to me. Cheer up. They don't promote dead weight. Somebody sees something in you.
  3. Dom and Comicality are obvious. Christopher Lyton, CJ and Little Buddah are fun. Look up VLista. He's good too.
  4. That's why I stalled on Broken. I came to a part that was making me sick writing about.
  5. Well purple day is over and it was a shallow, easy way to make ourselves feel good without actually doing anything. You know- sorta like prayer. It's not like we're going to blow up a building or snipe a bunch of innocent people. That only works for the IRA. I'm back to being the smart-assed cat... but again I was that cat all along.
  6. Why do stories get abandoned? There are a number of reasons. Sometimes the author runs out of talent before he finishes the story. *blushes* Sometimes real life events or situations change and make it impossible for an author to finish a story. A lack of feedback may tell an author that there is no interest in the story. There was a popular author who wrote a story that his fans didn't like the way it turned out and started stalking him. Some authors drop a story in favor of another.
  7. Ordinarily I would agree but there have been so many in such a short window of time that I think it is worth it to raise awareness of regarding the problem. Other stuff like the day of silence is IMHO stupid. They wish I'd shut the hell up but it isn't going to happen.
  8. I honestly don't remember but I think it was Dom's "the Log Way"
  9. Take a stand against bullying! Wear purple today.
  10. I've been revisiting my Coldplay and Radiohead.
  11. George W. Bush was President. George was dumb. George was a dumb President. He was also hysterical. Every time he opened his mouth, mangled folksy witticisms came out... but not exactly as intended. ______________________________________________________________________ One of the common denominators I have found is that expectations rise above that which is expected. Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness. You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test. [to Brazilian President Fernando Cardoso] Do you have blacks, too? I want to thank the President and the CEO of Constellation Energy, Mayo Shattuck. That's a pretty cool first name, isn't it, Mayo. Pass the Mayo. I'm not the expert on how the Iraqi people think, because I live in America, where it's nice and safe and secure. [speaking at the Radio & Television Correspondents dinner] I've coined new words like, misunderstanding and Hispanically. The California crunch really is the result of not enough power-generating plants and then not enough power to power the power of generating plants. I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them. To those of you who received honors, awards and distinctions, I say well done. And to the C students, I say: You, too, can be president of the United States. Moar sillyness: 10) "Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream."
  12. I think its because pre-law and pre-med are considered pre-money majors.

  14. No engineers? Of course engineers are apt to be staying up for days on end doing arcane mathematics.
  15. Two drunks are stumbling home from a bar and see a dog licking his balls. One of the drunks says, I really wish I could do that. The other drunk said, I don't know about that. You had better pet him first.
  16. Lucky Dog A woman comes into work looking very bedraggled. One of her co-workers was concerned and asked, "You look really rough today. Are you OK." She said, "I went out with the girls, it was ladies night and I had way too many tequila shooters..." Crying now, she says, "The last thing I remember was rolling around in my back yard blowing Chunks." Her friend says, "That's OK. We've all been there." The bedraggled woman says, "No. You don't understand. Chunks is my dog."
  17. Barbara Billingsley of 'Leave it to Beaver' fame dies Source Link: CNN (CNN) -- Barbara Billingsley, who wore a classy pearl necklace and dispensed pearls of wisdom as America's quintessential mom on "Leave it to Beaver," has died at age 94, a family spokeswoman said Saturday. The actress passed away at 2 a.m. (5 a.m. ET) Saturday at her home in Santa Monica, California, after a long illness, spokeswoman Judy Twersky said. A private memorial is being planned. "She was as happy as a lark being recognized as America's mom," actor Tony Dow, who played Wally Cleaver, told CNN's Don Lemon. "She had a terrific life and had a wonderful impact on everybody she knew, and even people she didn't know." Actor Jerry Mathers, who played Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver, spoke of Billingsley's talent during a 2000 appearance on CNN's "Larry King Live." "Barbara was always a true role model for me. She was a great actress," he said. "And in a lot of ways ... we kind of stifled her, because her true talent didn't really come out in 'Leave it Beaver.' She was like the straight man, but she has an awful lot of talent." The actress won a new legion of fans in a brief, but memorable, scene in the 1980 send-up movie "Airplane." "Oh, stewardess. I speak jive," Billingsley said in her role -- much different from her June Cleaver persona -- as an elderly passenger comforting an ill man on the flight. She, the sick man and his seat companion engaged in street-slang banter. From the moment its catchy theme song sounded in black-and-white TV sets of the 1950s, "Leave it to Beaver" enthralled Americans during a time of relative prosperity and world peace. Its characters represented middle-class white America. June Cleaver dutifully pecked the cheek of her husband, Ward (played by the late Hugh Beaumont), when he came home to learn about the latest foibles -- nothing serious -- committed by Beaver and Wally. The parents would dispense moralistic advice to their sons. The boys' friends included Lumpy and the obsequious Eddie Haskell, who avoided trouble and often buttered up Ward and June. "That's a lovely dress you're wearing, Mrs. Cleaver," Eddie would typically say to Billingsley's character. Perhaps fittingly, "Leave it to Beaver" was canceled in 1963 on the eve of the JFK assassination, the Vietnam War and the tumult of the 1960s. In the 1980s, Dow appeared with Billingsley in "The New Leave it to Beaver." She shifted from being a mom figure to a good friend who supported his directing and artistic endeavors, Dow said. "She always had a positive thing to say," said Dow, 65. Born December 22, 1915, in Los Angeles, Billingsley began her career as a model in New York City in 1936. She was under contract to MGM in 1945 before becoming a household name with the launch of "Leave it to Beaver" in 1957. Billingsley also voiced the role of Nanny in Nickelodeon's "Muppet Babies" from 1984 to 1991. Billingsley is related by marriage to actor/producer Peter Billingsley, known for his starring role as Ralphie in the seasonal TV-movie classic "A Christmas Story," according to the Internet Movie Database. Peter Billingsley's mother, Gail Billingsley, is the cousin of Barbara's first husband, Glenn. Billingsley, whose second and third husbands predeceased her, is survived by her two sons, Drew Billingsley of Granada Hills, California, and Glenn Billingsley of Phillips Ranch, California. Asked once to compare real-life families to TV families, Billingsley responded, "I just wish that we could have more families like those. Family is so important, and I just don't think we have enough people staying home with their babies and their children." ________________________________________ Billingsley was an icon of the 1950s nuclear family and womanhood- the family unit and role of women that so many in the country seem to be stuck on.
  18. I would be but I've got a full plate at the moment.
  19. More mood muzak
  20. I don't get stressed anymore. I cause it.
  21. Article fails to mention that the suburbs are the happy hunting grounds for zombies.
  22. It's just another poor sap that is hopelessly brain washed by a religion that hates their guts. The only winning move is to walk away.
  23. Maybe. I'm still looking at it. I don't know if I'm fast enough to get a novel done in a month.
  24. This newly discovered species of bat from New Guinea looks a lot like an old friend...
  25. There aren't any republicans left. No one follows the core principles of republican ideology anymore. What passes for republicans now are simply populist reactionaries saying what the trailer parks want to hear and religious fanatics. The ideal of the Republic has largely been forgotten by people who can't even spell it.
