Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Where are you getting the Tour de France updates?

Today, it's at [link] -- stupidly enough, the URL changes for each stage, but if you go to letour.fr and pick "English version" on the front page, you'll get what's happening that day.

OLNtv.com runs the same updates, but they're 5-10 minutes behind, and they have much, much less other info (riders, teams, rules, blah blah) than the official site (and they're as Lance-o-riffic and generally lame as their tv broadcasts).

Jessica, now would be a good time to listen to "Waiting for the Electrician Or Someone Like Him"!

Canada still leads in debit card transactions:

US is not that far behind. Italians spend more per transaction..

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

recon...hahaha...cile...hahaha...whoa...excuse me....HAHAHAHA.

Yeah, much to my mother's horror, I haven't sat down and balanced my checking account for close to 10 years.

I use my debit card for most purchases, except now I am using a miles card instead and then paying one big bill to them each month.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I could also interpret Sue's sign as "If you look on top of the cabinet, you will be so dreadfully surprised that blood will spurt out of your head." (Or maybe I've been watching too many horror movies.)

IOW, "Beware the top-of-the-cabinet monster!"

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Totally pole through the head.

I showed it to chatty!co-worker, and he said it looks like Pinocchio looking up at a box.

If you have a Mac with Tiger, there's a Tour de France widget. IJS.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Canada was ahead in debit card purchasing, IIRC, since I used it before I left in 93, but it didn't pick up in MI until some time after I got there.

Late 80s, even. It was all over Ontario, anyway. It definitely took a while longer to catch up in the States.
