Heh, muzzle flash. A buddy of mine has a Russian sub-machine gun that fires some small.32 cal pistol round. When he lets off a drum of that at night, there's four jets of flame shooting out about 3'; top. bottom, left, and right. Very cool! We call him the hero of the revolution.
Hell, I don't even want it primarily as a phone; that'll be an interesting add-on but what I want is an iPod plus.
As for other cell phones having more features, all I want is a phone that's easy to dial and easy to use. I'm willing to bet Apple will have this part covered pretty well.
Of course we read to our daughter. How else would she learn? They don't start teaching reading at her ES until first grade. Now, I suppose that it is possible that my daughter sprang fully armored from my forehead, spear in one hand and book in another, reading a Fitzgerald translation of the Illiad, but it's not likely.
What has amazed me about the HP books is that, while she will pick up and read her Dr. Suess and other picture books, with minimal text, this is the first 'chapter book' without pictures that she is actively pursuing. Actually, she's now on chapter 5 of the second book. She tried Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe but found it not as exciting as the first HP book. Oh well, give her time.
Um...Star Wars was supposed to be 9 movies; three prequels, three 'real Star Wars movies' and three concerning Luke and Leia's children. Yes, was supposed to be those two but since Harrison Ford turned out to be so popular, they had to change things for the second movie.
Psst! Hey, kid, c'mon, try it. All your friends are doing it. It don't hurt no one. Here, just read a couple of pages...
While not a fan of Harry Potter (is derivative of other children's books and treats magic the way Star Treck handles science), they have gotten my daughter away from basic picture books and started her reading actual novels. I can't complain about that. Now if only, her reading skills were a little more advanced so that I didn't have to jump in and help her figure out new words ever two minutes. What's wrong with our schools? Don't they teach reading in Kindergarten?/daughter is 6
As far as you know, you're not an Australian lawyer? Is there a chance you were down there on shore leave, got drunk, kissed an ugly girl, got a tattoo and passed the bar?
Found a set of five smaller CFs at either Costco or Sam's the other week. They fit into ceiling light fixtures with the glass enclosures that regular size CFs don't. Sweet! Was only around 8$ US.
When my mom retired and moved back home to take care of her father, she had all the gas appliances, except for the oven, replaced with electric. Sigh. Even though she does not know anyone who's ever had any trouble with gas, she has an irrational fear of it. Now that i've inherited the house, I have to pay to get new gas appliances. What a pain.

It's better to be talked about than not talked about.

I think he's saying that zombies and the un-dead prefer unnatural lights and not the incandescents that grow on trees.
I thought Eudora was being merged with Thunderbird?
Whatever happened to a good postcard.
Exactly! (NSFW)
When I finally get asked to the prom. D'uh!
Sigh. No one perceives sarcasm anymore.

I totally agree that he (Harry Potter) gets through things out of sheer dumb luck ...
Must be pronounced with a Maggie Smith Scottish brogue.
Is similar to Mike Myers' You're heading the right way for a smack bottom! from Shrek.
What? You found a cliché in Harry Potter? Say's it isn't so, Joe!
...or the hairiness of black holes.
Hey, you leave my girlfriend out it!
Harry's parents are, well, dead without any buts.
Damn! Assless through eternity. Do they even let you into heaven like that? That was one mean bad guy that did that to them.
I am an indefinite number of one. *SOB* /goes to drown sorrow with cheap Guinness and whiskey
I hate all my users and they also cause trouble. Sigh. Stoopid users. So eager, so clueless.

You can get LED christmas lights now, for around $7.00 a string of 35. They're pretty bright.

Then how come I do all the chores around the house and the wife won't have sex with me? Do I need to get some kind of 220/110 V adapter?

Don't forget Jethro Tull. He invented the seed drill.
I've always seen Dr. Strangelove as a reply to Mouse that Roared.
I for one welcome our Mars roving Grand Fenwick overlords.
I think the article said that the edges might have three adjacent faces. That makes my brain hurt. I think I'll go be a bridge support somewhere.
