He took out two huge loans and ran up debts of over £100,000 on 14 credit cards marketing his idea and paying for the merchandise and has filed for bankruptcy.

Tony, who split from his wife Georgina after he replaced their fridge with a "warp coil" said: "I was convinced Trekkies all over the world would want a house like mine and pay me to do it.

This is an exception to the rule that "there are always fans who are more obsessive than you." Someone should have told this guy, "Dude, you're the outlierest fan. No one else is gonna want this."

I like these for you, Allyson: [link]

Yes. Stylish, yet intellectual.

You don't remind me of Camryn Manheim, Allyson. Nothing against her, either, but you guys aren't the same type.

I think it's just a weird thing that some people do, lumping all the thick girls together as one specific thing.

I think I just gave myself a blister while frying bacon for lunch. Note to self: grease spatters.

ow.

Those eyeglasses are lovely. In fact, I am wondering if I ordered them, if I could bring them in and have lenses put in here in Rochester.

The Camryn Manheim thing is weird. (I haven't gotten that, I usually look like someone's Italian Cousin). There are 13 million differant types of thin people, obviouslt all of us who are thicker don't all have the same body type.

I used to have frames like that. Loved them. And I think they'd suit you, Allyson.

Laura, recieved and backflung, with thanks.

I used not to have a problem reconciling ID and evolution. Nobody could tell me how big God's clock is, or Her calendar. I honestly believe that some people just really have a problem believing the world existed before they were born, will continue after they're gone. And for this reason, they can't accept that they, personally, or their family, or anybody they know, "descended" from monkeys. Because monkeys, obviously, are lesser than human, and we're made in the image of God. Who is better than monkeys.

Short-sighted and self-centered, to my way of thinking. Which is so open-minded, my mom used to tell me, my brain's liable to fall out.

This day is too long. I'm editting xml files by hand, since the tools are broken. My eyes are crossing. There is a software installation that is going very very poorly, and it sounds like it is largely due to problems with the humans. I didn't read the plan closely enough and missed that dbs would be down (but then, the dbas neglected to tell everyone not involved in the install that the dbs would be down, so...) Someone is giving me a new table, which would be wonderful if it actually contained reliable info. But it may not.

The History Channel has a series coming up (in April, I think) called "10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America," and one of the eps is about the Scopes trial. It's quite good -- not your usual cheap History Channel stuff at all. (The whole series is good, actually, but the Scopes ep relates to the current conversation. What they did was to hire 10 documentary filmmakers and said "Pick a day in American history and make a documentary about it." The directors were given almost total control over their projects, and a nice fat budget to do it well.)

I think I just gave myself a blister while frying bacon for lunch.

Even bacon has forsaken you? Dude. The only answer is SGA porn.
