Most of the voting public shouldn't be allowed to vote and here is a prime example. Nothing against Mr. Greene but come on. His solution to the high unemployment rate is to make toys of him? Is it any wonder the country is in such a sad state?

dragonmamma/naomi, the pavement they are talking about is the asphault street surface not concrete sidewalks.

Anny-Bed sheets, the whole world is never all hot nor all cold. In fact until just this weekend southern California temperatures have been unseasonably cool for the start of summer.

Miss Cellania, there is a four screen drive-in still active in the city of Montclair, Ca. Daytime it's a swap meet, which is where the owner really makes their money, but at night you have your choice of four screens, all showing double features.

Folk hero my ***. He's not cool, he's not neat, he's a criminal plain and simple. All of his fans should personally experience theft and destruction of their property, along with the higher insurance premiums and a lost feeling of security. He's a punk that needs to get caught.

I've always believed that there are some people that are just plain lucky and she seems to fit the bill. I on the other hand.....

The plural of foot is feet so technically it should be called feetball.
As for the bad calls I have two words....instant replay.

I would have gone down there this weekend to see him if he wasn't getting out today. Too bad since I have some mad mocking skills.

The world has lost a caring and compassionate man. I hope his vision for a better Sudan is realized someday.

Could I just point out that Minnesotastan linked to a Telegraph article that had the same exact information, yet hours later other posters continue to berate The Daily Mail, calling their articles everything from rubbish to lies. Of course these same posters berated NEATORAMA for even publishing the story in the first place because it's not "neat". Isn't "neat" subjective and don't you all have choices as to what you read? Lighten up why don't you? This isn't life and death here, it's just light, sometimes educational, entertainment for cryin' out loud.

This sounds a lot like the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona, CA. It's in September and there is everything a typical fair has but it includes horse racing which I enjoy. There are animals galore, food of every kind, everywhere and lots of interesting stuff to see. Over the years it has been radically commercialized and if you've ever seen something on an informercial you can find it there and then some. There is a Fun Zone of course with rides and games, a landscaping/flower exhibit building, shows (including pig races which are a blast), crafts and of course more food. Now I can hardly wait for September. I gotta try me a deep fried avocado this year and I always take home the best cinnamon rolls in the world for the next day. Great story Jill. Very Neato.

Not sure about Washington state law but in California when this happens it can take months to evict squatters. There are groups of people that know the laws on this better than the lawyers and move from house to house, tying up the owners in court. Just when the owner gets his eviction on one group member others show up and the process starts all over again. Although it sounds outrageous, and it is, this is absolutely true. I know someone it happened to. They eventually got the house back many thousands of dollars later.
D.D. Your mom must be so proud. Not only do you do something like that but you have fond memories about it.

The sale of miniskirts doesn't predict the weather, buyers are reacting to what the weather forecast already says. Does anybody think miniskirt buyers actually predict the weather? They may anticipate but only BECAUSE OF the weather forecast.

Snobs are snobs whatever the topic. Wine snob, movie snob, book snob. If you aren't drinking, watching, reading or computing their way you're some kind of fool. They are the only one that is "in the know" about their chosen topic and everyone else is clueless. Every computer afficionado I know hates AOL which is what I use and I fit none of the profile the article implies.

I've heard the story before
and it's fitting for today.

The unofficial words to Taps.

Day is done,
gone the sun,
From the hills,
from the lake,
From the skies.
All is well,
safely rest,
God is nigh.

Go to sleep,
peaceful sleep,
May the soldier
or sailor,
God keep.
On the land
or the deep,
Safe in sleep.

Love, good night,
Must thou go,
When the day,
And the night
Need thee so?
All is well.
Speedeth all
To their rest.

Fades the light;
And afar
Goeth day,
And the stars
Shineth bright,
Fare thee well;
Day has gone,
Night is on.

Thanks and praise,
For our days,
'Neath the sun,
Neath the stars,
'Neath the sky,
As we go,
This we know,
God is nigh.

Show me a list of movies that do pass The Bechdel Test. Even "Julie & Julia" wouldn't. So what. The only thing Hollywood is about is money. What makes money? How many, let's call them female films, make enough money for the Hollywood establishment to sit up and take notice. I'll stick with The Bozko Test.

1. Are at least two of the characters armed?
2. Do they shoot at each other or have a common enemy target?
3. Do they have martial arts/fighting skills.

If these criteria aren't met (and they can be men, women or aliens)I won't be going.
