I'm sorry now that I ate all the peanut butter and drank the wine that I was saving for Y2K. I think I still have some of the crackers and canned beef stew, though.
I would recommend you start with a large bucket of Duplos. They're extra-large Legos made for younger kids with less fine-motor skills, but they are quite sturdy, they hold together better than tiny Legos, and they interconnect with the standard-size Legos. Then you could have fun like these kids.
Moms like Duplos because they are less likely to step on them in the dark and say bad words.
I can see it now. A commercial involving tech freaks dancing around, and snacking on Pringles, and then setting up wireless transmitters.
I can see it, too -- Chips 'n Dips!

Isn't this pretty predictable? Heck, the official opening is less than a week away. In other news, spring flowers have reportedly started blooming, robins have returned, etc.
You can't go back and change yesterday's newspapers.
Yes, but you can update the articles throughout the day as later editions roll off the press. I used to work for an afternoon newspaper, covering court trials. You would have to write one version of the story, perhaps speculating on what was going to happen, for the early editions that went out to outlying counties, then file another story with the morning highlights of the trial for the editions delivered to homes within the city, then try to get something sensational splashed across the front page for the final edition that was sold on the downtown streets. The focus of the story could change throughout the day, and often another reporter would be sent in to make sure you didn't miss anything while the first reporter was outside the courtroom filing a report (no laptop usage was allowed inside the courtroom).
He has the same amount of time that everyone else has, but look what he does with it. Plenty of people might say, "Gee, wouldn't it be great to have a machine to suck up wasps, or shoot marbles," or whatever, and their friends would reply, "Yeah, give me another beer," and that would be the end of it. This guy's a genius. He dreams up these contraptions, and then he actually builds them. I thought the pipe organ was great. I'm not surprised he works at RIM. They're lucky to have him. Makes me want to run out and buy a BlackBerry, if I could afford one.
...that one or more of these "female yuppies" thought you were kind of cute and kept dreaming up little add-ons and carpentry projects to keep you around her apartment long enough to see what might happen next?
Pardon me for asking, but ...

Peter Wayner has two resilient books emerging this spring
I was wondering how a book that hasn't been published yet can be "resilient." Perhaps the cover is made of steel-reinforced concrete? Titanium? Galvanized rubber?
Go to your local pub or club tonight, drop some coins in a busker's guitar case, wrap a piece of waxed paper around a comb to make your own kazoo - whatever you can do to create and support music on your local level has got to be better than supporting the Machine.
the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) didn't provide any statements to CNN regarding what goes on in Internet Relay Chat
Gee, I guess it would have been way too much trouble for CNN's hotshot reporters to log on and find out for themselves before running this half-baked article.
How about one for parents instead? It seems to me there are a lot more parents AWOL than there are kids. Kids/teens need to be able to go off with their friends and do stuff their parents don't know about. Didn't you? How else will they ever grow up if they don't get a chance to try things on their own? A good parent will instill some sense of right and wrong, some common sense, and some mutual trust and respect. About the only good thing I can see coming out of this is encouraging little minds to figure out ways to thwart/disable/remove the device.
What then? Even if this was written by a fairly young teenager in 1995, it's kind of pathetic that seven years later there isn't some possibility of waking to the sound of a lover's voice, even if only in the imagination.
She may be just as beautiful as she is smart. And dating some rich lawyer who wears starched white shirts, drives a Boxster and thinks her Geek-like tendencies are "cute."
I want to read today's news today. I can pick yesterday's paper out of the trash can. They're still speculating on how Holy Cross will make out against Kansas. (Hello, the game was last night. Kansas won.)
They should get some of whatever they use in the Paris subways. It has a cologne-kind of of smell. The citizens may not use much soap or deodorant, but at least the subway stations smell pretty good.
since the CBS 9/11 special will last two hours, I think you can safely watch the short Episode II trailer while DeNiro is working his way through his "brief remarks" and they're setting the statge for the documentary. Or you wait and see the trailer starting March 15 at the Ice Age> movie.

I hope he does a reprise of the Monkey Dance first.

My father-in-law's summary of The Crying Game: It was a really dumb movie -- the girl the hero fell in love with turned out to be a guy.

There are no penguins in Alaska. Funny joke anyway.

Hayward declined to respond to the jokes. His wife, city spokeswoman Shannon Hayward, said "I don't think it's funny."
Holy nepotism! How in the heck does this city manager get to have his wife as the official city spokeswoman?

to buy and sell without any manner of evil Tolts
Now that this thread has pretty much settled the definition of a cubit, any enlightenment on "Tolts" - evil or otherwise?
You must be present to win.
It's like Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, CSA, may or not have said: You have to get there "fustest with the mostest."
Your good old days are just beginning!
The name alone should have been a dead giveaway. How much did this book set you back? I think reveiws should include the price.
