It's illegal in Quebec to give your kid a name that is too bizarre, the naming nazis will refuse a registration if they feel that the name is too weird. My friends' tried to name their kid Spatula but were denied, although they continued to call him Spatch.

Okay, those are cool, but I think it's safe to say that they are not representations of middle-age. not mine anyway :)

The original x-files, on the small screen, had a creepy claustrophobic feeling that can not translate onto the big screen, imho. It's too big!

And did you know that Touareg is an anagram of Outrage?

I hate those things, they're right up there with Hummers and Escalades in my SUV hate book.

cuimhne, how about: why so negative, everyone?

Sure, it was a Washington suicide, she stabbed herself 37 times and then shot herself in the head 21 times. happens aaaalllll the time.

She was wacked -- am I still allowed to say wacked?

I found that kind of lame, not sure why this was seen as funny.

Since when did Rupert Murdoch buy the BBC?

This has more to do with the overabundance of drunken yobs in england than anything else.

flip flops are just evil, I would rather walk all summer in combat boots than have to suffer the frustration of clinging onto a pair of flip flops.

We always went barefoot in the summer when I was a kid, I don't think kids go barefoot anymore, not in my neighbourhood anyway.

Why am I being accused of posting comments to quickly?

Man, that was like a video of all the stupid things we used to do with forklifts when I worked at a brewery (labatt) in the early 80s. My foreman once had me stand on a pallet and he lifted me to the top of a row of beer that was leaning kind of precariously. The next morning the entire row fell down (this was when we went from stubby bottles to the long neck bottles and they hadn't figured out how to stack them yet). another time, we get a little pissed befoer the friday night shift, and when I jumped on my forklift for said foreman, he asked me to shift a pallet off the palletizer and I wasn't paying attention and rammed the forks through the bottom row of boxes. pop pop pop pop

don't drink and drive a forklift.

I'm really pretty lucky to be alive.

I had two sub-acute attacks of appendicitis, both times they did an CAT scan and discoverd that it was inflamed, but not bad enough that they needed to operate. And both times they gave me an enema for the CAT scan, and within a cuople of days the pain went away. i am now convinced that the enema was responsible for, um, washing the appendix near the end of the bowel, and helping to eliminate the minor infection that had taken place. Next time I'm just going to get a home enema kit.

ps. I'm not kidding.

The music is Pachebel's Canon (in D Major).

I preferred the first.

8 out of 8, but I'm Canadian.
