Never waste a good crisis.

"I dislike these songs, so the company will declare them to be un-American."

For my money, the smartest person in film was Hannibal Lechter in "Silence of the Lambs."

While I could follow most of his thinking, I was also taken by his very human desires. He did not need to prove anything, just get free and let others win on his way there.

In downtown Minneapolis, legend has it that all lights are timed to 22.5 mph. I tried it a couple of times, but other drivers got in the way. In Santa Ana, California, there is a control center (actually visited it once) that can greenlight any path they want. It is supposed to be used for emergency vehicles, but could just as easily be manipulated to generate this sort of video.

Isn't someone going to have to lift all of them up to apply mortar?

The Santa sure picked a horrid place to wage battle. I had hoped that they would have engaged, fallen back and then locked the penguins in the bowl. On the other hand, why were penguins dropping from cliffs Kamikaze-style when the battle was clearly going their way?

Selling distilled corn syrup that has been diluted to 40 proof, flavored with grass clippings and then trying to call it vodka is a travesty, wrapped in a fraud, and bundled with shame.

Even though I live in a *very* urban area, my house is adjacent to the most dangerous park in California (for puma attacks). I have seen them three times while biking and fresh tracks as often while hiking. Research into actual attacks has told me that once a mountain lion pounces, nothing much a human can do will stop it but you might as well try to fight.

Prior to an attack, according to my experience and those of my neighbors, leaving the area as quickly as possible has always worked. No one has ever tried to stand their ground and scare off the cougar.

My aunt used to send us this every Christmas in her "care package". Nice, especially with Irish Whiskey.

I smell a rat. What smartphone thief does not know enough to turn off the phone and then reset it? Who does not have access the web portal that remotely wipes their phone?

Might I suggest hikers look at any of the long distance trails in Britain? The newest is the John Muir Way across Scotland. The granddaddy is Coast to Coast Walk. The advantages of these is that you speak the language, there are BnBs all along the trail, and there are porter services that move luggage between stops.

Excellent article.

Everything can be a poison, the issue is dosage.

What about "Love Actually?"

Any sane person would have agreed that repairing that line, at that time caused more harm than good not only to the motorists but also to the reputation of the company. As well, employees were warned about the hazard they were creating and publicly, on camera, stated that they did not care.

Comcast will be paying for damages and they should be praying that there are no hospital bills nor deaths.
