I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Why can't these people just ignore the rumors?

If it were me, I'd be playing with them. "Out future child is a blessing from Xenu! How dare you question his/her miraculous conception!"

Should high speed internet access be free in hotels?

Is this a trick question?

Without having read the article, I can say that I don't think it's something I'm necessarily owed by the hotel industry, but it is something I look for on lists of amenities. I like high-speed internet access, and I like getting things for free.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

And you know something is wrong when statements have to be issued about how the baby was conceived.

You are absolutely right.

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

mine might have been Margaret Thatcher.

I find this as disturbing as Plei's HK thing.

Donny & Marie were AWESOME. The show was AESOME. The coordinating outfits and Donny's purple socks, AWESOME!

I think high speed internet access should be free in hotels. They often charge so much for local calls anyway. And nothing is ever free in hotels. They will fold it into the price of the room.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm still not quite sure who the Osmonds are or why I might be aware of them.

The Osmonds were the Mormon equivalent of the Jackson 5.

Nobody important, they live up the hill from me and I see them at the mall occasionally. Them and Bob Redford, though he generally doesn't wave back when you yell "Hi!" at him.

Okay, and now having read the article, these people need to stop bitching and instead just read the fricking amenities lists before they check in. The way to protest a charge for internet access is to stay at a different hotel. Complaining about the bill after the fact because you didn't read the directions before you logged on? LAME.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

When I was little, I alway thought Donny and Marie were boyfriend/girlfriend, and not brother/sister. I am not sure if I was picking up some weird vibe, or I was just confused because Sonny and Cher and Captain and Tenille were couples.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jessica, maybe. but hotels have pulled a bait and switch on me. They have a different rate plan for phone calls (and internet access) listed in the room then what I was charged at the front desk. I have had to argue with the front desk people about the rate I should have been charged for crap.

This has happened more than once and probably happens 1-2 times a year that I travel for work.
