Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
in re the jokes from the White House - it's not like they have a history of sensitivity (except for their own interests).
And Beej, I'm probably going to have to work Sunday but I'm free Saturday and Monday. Or there's always next weekend!

How does it know that I'm not, like, I logged in an hour ago and then went away to a meeting?
If the window with Gmail in it isn't active (like if, say, I'm looking at my Buffistas tab right now), it switches to "Busy." It's pretty smart.

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

Oh yeah. ICQ has had that feature for years.

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 non-rock song versions of hunting accidents news, I am getting VERY DISTURBING ads in yahoo mail that feature Alyson Hannigan 1) in braces 2) in a fat suit and 3) with very large breasts on her back. Why, Alyson, why?
It's for Date Movie, and I agree with the very disturbing.

If I only had a brain...
It looks like this guy has had some serious complications from the accident, but having some buckshot rain down on you, especially while quail hunting, is pretty common.
He didn't "have buckshot rain down on him"; he got caught with what looks like most of a load of birdshot. PDF of the hunting report here: [link]
That's not "peppered". That's "shot".
Apparently the problem with having birdshot in your throat and chest is that over time it can migrate into the circulatory system and thence to the heart. It isn't that he was shot in the heart, it's that the birdshot is on the move.

It isn't that he was shot in the heart, it's that the birdshot is on the move.
it's also lead shot, not steel, which okay if you're 78, maybe you don't need to worry about lead poisoning.
Still. Bad Form, Cheney!

Which in this case has already happened, which is why he had a heart attack this morning.

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

Well, we're off the Bon Jovi hook at least -- though this leads us perilously close to Willie Nelson territory.
