It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

In fact, your specific job will be the preparation of frivolous lawsuits for use against the nazis at the RIAA

OK, lawyers. Show of hands. How many others read that sentence and immediately thought, "Rule 11"?

Among other things...but, you know, $25,000/year and "$25K in stock options" (they're going to take their frivolous lawsuit business public? And that's all their lawyer gets?) is awful hard to pass up when the average graduate is making more than twice that straight out of law school...

My cats have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior and have been baptised into the faith.

Maybe Oz (or was it Sylvester?) was taking it quite seriously and was trying to do some blessing of the rugs or something.

Leif sometimes will run up the lobster tank and yell "Hi Monsters!"

I think I need to start doing that.

We had a cat who was a regular church-goer. No, seriously, the church was across the street and in the summer they'd leave the doors open for ventilation and he'd hang out there all the time.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Every single time I go grocery shopping, as I pass through the seafood department, I swing by the lobster tank and tell them "Repent; the end is near!"

My friend Eric will grab a box of frozen fish sticks and hold it up to the tank, informing them that this is where the bad lobsters go. His wife won't grocery shop with him anymore.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Also, I'm in the camp that Cheney shot a guy just to see if he could get away with it.

Yeah, George woulnd't eat the baby. Wuss.

only ever get Valentine's gifts from my mom.

Same here. About three years ago I FINALLY got her to stop doing it. "But its a special day! For love! And I love you!" "You're making me feel like a loser." And she always got the crappy candy too.

I need a Phil.

I need to be a Phil.

Alibelle, have you tried lubricating your eyes a whole lot and drinking a bunch of gatorade? It could be a dehydration thing.

And in other news, New York soon to have its own brand of condoms:

The corporate branding of stadiums and sporting events has become routine. When the Bloomberg administration took office, it applied that corporate mentality to the city itself. To begin with, hats and shirts were emblazoned with the logos of the Police and Fire Departments. Now, taking the concept of branding to a new and quite intimate level, a New York City condom will soon be available.

In a statement released yesterday, the health department said it was "currently developing the first NYC-branded condom, to be released in coming months."

Sandra Mullin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, explained that the effort was more about packaging than about branding, providing the department with a better way to measure the effectiveness of its free condom distribution.

But, in the end, whatever the design of the package for the condom, it would be uniquely identified with the city, although exactly how — whether it would include a logo or an iconic city image — has yet to be determined.

Empire State Building, anyone?
