Dave @ 101:
Cutie must obviously refer to kids. Car bombs for kids -- oh, the horror, the depraved horror!!!!!
Betcha they're still trying to play those tracks backwards to hear the secret instructions.
Maybe they thought that Death Cab referred to car bombs.
Sarah @336: I rather regret having my kids get the chickenpox vaccine, and our doctor in fact suggested that it might be better to let them get the disease while they were young.
(But I was working full-time, didn't have enough vacation/sick days to care for them if they did get it, plus the school had it on the required shot list, and my kids are terrible scratchers ...)
So now they have to get boosters, as 10year olds who've had the shot as infants have been getting chickenpox.
It does not seem to that much immunity, and cp is so much worse if you get it as an adult.
I'm not anti-vaccine: we get flu shots each year, frex. But I'm wary of new vaccines, and I was one of those moms who insisted her babies get the killed/Salk polio shot rather than the live/Sabin one, before the CDC came out with the same rec. I guess I'm just opinionated.
TW @ 21: Thanks for the rec. That certainly sounds like a timely title.
I've never read any of her books. Any advice on a good one to start on? (Meaning one with a good story in it?)
Is SecDef Gates' aide Debra Cagan Coulter's long lost twin?
Wasn't Aeryn's translator that Babel-fish sort of thing? How would that go on the blink?
serge @20 Yeah, the bathing suit seems retro -- suits her 50's pin-up girl look.
Serge @ 211
I don't know ... but I just (re) watched Death Becomes Her recently, and I can just imagine Capt Jack with limbs apart and head rolling around a la Meryl Streep. Heh.
I rather like Captain Jack Harkness better as he was on Dr. Who, a charming rogue, than he is so far in Torchwood. The mysterious immortal being role doesn't suit him as well. But I've only seen the 1st three eps -- does he grow into the role?
I'm another JSMN fan -- whoever said it was too short is exactly right.
She's gorgeous. I also love how not-tanned she is -- that's healthy skin!
Neat links.
There's only a disconnect if you take religion at face value. If, on the other hand, you see religion as a tool for enforcing or advancing a group's socio-political power, then clearly it is a good and time-honored strategy for religion to have a monopoly on handing out and interpreting the "truth". When outright censorship is not feasible, (dis)-information overload is an available alternative for accomplishing this.
Serge, xeger, Lexica, Leva ...so many qualified JLA members here! Excellent!
*rubspalmselbows together happily*
@160 hang both ankles behind my neck and walk around on the palms of my hands
I nominate Leva for JLA president.
Serge @ 146 -- The JLA is hereby ratified.
xeger @ 151 -- without bending your arms? Pretty sure it's not normal, as all my normal friends have assured me. My one kid can do it, but not the other (that one can wiggle ears though).
Serge @78
So that's my nom de guerre!
I may have some mutant elbow powers as well, as I am actually able to have my elbows meet when I extend my arms before me, palms together.
I'm saddened by his passing.
If you were to ask me how many bones there are in a skeleton, I’d have to say “Beats the heck out of me.â€
Once upon a time I went to a foot doctor and he told me the reason I have flat feet is that I have an extra bone in each foot that weakens the whole structure. I am a mutant! Though I still haven't heard from either Dr. Xavier or Magneto. *pout*
I did feel slightly better though when I heard about a lady who'd found out, via an unrelated x-ray, that she'd been born with just one kidney.
Just want to add my big happy CONGA RATS!!! to the list.
Further to Jim @ 226:
I've read that Sen. Craig resigning is not a net loss to the Republicans, since the Governor Otter, being Republican also, is sure to appoint a Republican replacement.
