Was that piratical enough? TimesSelect me arse.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
If Adam is gay, why hook up with Naomi Campbell, of all things? That's just crazy.
There's a huge article on Bono's work on debt relief in the Sunday NYT, btw.

He's the one who starred in My Giant with Billy "Wow, My Career Really Went Down the Crapper" Crystal, wasn't he?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And actor. He was in My Giant. Hysterically tall (7'7).

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 do remember being in kindergarten and watching Reagan's first inauguration. Why would this be significant to kindergarteners? I have no idea!
Government is the problem, kiddies! Now you can either take a nap like a welfare queen, or become an entrepreneur.

I noticed this development. It's not a small amount, either -- subscription to the print, or like $50. I like the Times, but I'm just not that devoted, you know? And the carrot of the subscription covering the entire archives just isn't a good enough reason.
Given free news, I would never buy a newspaper, except to scratch an itch (4 hours in a St. Louis airport) or commemorate special events (certain people winning the world series). Given not-free news, I would never buy a newspaper, except to scratch an itch or commemorate special events. Making free news not be free any more just makes me seek my free news elsewhere.
The Times imprimatur is just not that awesome, you know?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I was ten years old when the Challenger went boom, and in the fifth grade. Apparently, that was the year that all the kindergarteners got the TV for events, and the confusion that broke out when the shuttle launch turned out to be more of a shuttle flambe was enough to shanghai my science teacher from the class.
I was in 4th grade and remember misunderstanding what the other students were saying at first about the shuttle, only hearing that there was a teacher on board. I replied that I wished Mr. Blair, a particularly strict teacher that taught us math, had been on-board instead which resulted in a lot of shocked looks. Once I found out what had actually happened, I was mortified.

What is even happening?
I was a freshman and college, and very sick with what I think ended up being bronchitis. I just lied in bed watching it over and over again, because I could only get three channels.

Thing is, at work I have free access to the Times' content - but it's through Lexis-Nexis. Is Paul Krugman good enough to get me to search Lexis-Nexis for his editorial? He is not. GOD is not that good. Not that He writes syndicated editorials for the times.
