it sucks to go into "Joe's Jewlery and Electronics" to shop for a DVD player and have him show you the one model that he stocks, (sometimes), but it is out of stock right now so he shows you a flyer and tells you he'll get it for you in 8 to 10 days
I've had that happen at Sears on a larger and more frustrating scale. Instead of one model, there is an entire 4 x 5 array of DVD players. Every one of the models is out of stock: the only one there is the display model, and they refuse to sell you that one. Then you get a rain check (scribbled on the back of a business card: is this how a huge retailer operates?) but just forget it and go to Best Buy which dares to sell what it sells.
"Since when did KMart become cooler than WalMart?"
It happened sometime in the middle of last December when K-Mart defaulted on its heating bill and energy bills as part of the throes of bankruptcy. Watch for this August, however: K-Mart is gonna be the hottest deal in town!

Brit Hume: Senator Kerry, what do you have to say about accusations that you have taken both sides in the war issue?
Kerry: As the American people are divided on the Iraq war, my votes for it and against it clearly reflect the public view.
Brit Hume: Mr. Buchanan, what do you think of the gay marriage issue?
Buchanan: Brit, the reason for this problem is that there are millions of illegal Mexicans coming into America and stealing our jobs.
Brit Hume: President Bush, what is your vision of the legacy you will have when you leave office?
Bush: America are a place where families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream.
Brit Hume: Vice President Gore, what new technology is needed to drive America into the future?
Gore: Lock box.
Brit Hume: Governor Dean, do you have anything to add?
Do you even need a computer? If this presentation is not interactive, it could be recorded to tape and put in one of those video-display systems like they have had in hardware stores and Sears for years and years.

But it is true. Not only do those in the area show mortality, someone else pointed out that "half of all direct descendants of Chernobyl survivors will score below average on standardized intelligence tests".
Clearly, this nuclear disaster has had an effect on intelligence as well.
After a little more research, I have found that not only every single person in the vicinity of Chernobyl will have died by the end of this century, everyone in the Ukraine, Russia, and the rest of the world will have died too. The lethal effects are global.
Of the millions of people in the vicinity of Chernobyl, many thousands have died already. It is also predicted that, by the year 2087, almost all of these people will have died.

"Bad Astronomer"
Is this another future Mac OS project, much like their famous Butt-Head Astronomer project.
"And by the way, to all the rednecks who pronounce it "nucular", learn to enunciate!!!"
You mean rednecks like Jimmy Carter (of killer rabbit incident fame). He pronounces it "nucular".
In case you did not know, he was an actual "nucular" engineer, and has forgotten more about nuclear issues than either of us will ever learn. This is not to say that it is the correct pronunciation. Just that it isn't just Bubba who says it like this.
...or if squeezebox was supposed to be slang for vagina.....which she "wears on her chest"? Anatomy lessons all around, folks. Time to help out those folks whose only knowledge of female anatomy comes from all-night Tomb Raider sessions.

Come to think of it, Bevis is a constellation.

was when Jimmy Carter went there to say that nothing was wrong and then came out ten feet tall and glowing. That was classic
I think you have Carter himself confused with the giant man-eating mutant rabbit that attacked him once.

Mama's got a Squeezebox
And when Daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
'Cause she's playing all night
And the CODEC's all right
Mama's got a Squeezebox
Daddy never sleeps at night
"Well the stuntman can't eat"
says Valenti, who can't sleep
When you play illegal DIVx
Cuz it's so damn l33t
'Cause she's playing all night
And the movie's all right
Mama's got a Squeezebox
Daddy never sleeps at night
You forgot to accuse me of marching at the Seattle WTO protests carrying a 15' tall marionette puppet of a mongoose.
I think Sununu was governor of New Hampshire at the time

Now, if only you can get MP3's to play in quad, and go KERCHUNK every few minutes, and my 8-track flashback to 1973 will be complete!
For one thing, you can use one of these to heat your coffee and keep it warm.
You are so right. I've used this device to call across a room. In fact, I found that it even works if you don't have the soup can.
