Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I believe it's an email tax for business email. Sort of like official spam.

So MoveOn's not trying to protect us from vicious email taxes, so much as they're trying to save themselves from the same.

I'm getting the pig!

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

I just got an email from MoveOn.org asking me to sign a petition to prevent AOL from starting to charge an email tax.

As I understand it, AOL and Yahoo claim that by charging half a cent per email (or whatever), they'll be able to cut down on spammers who send emails to a million people at once. However, legitimate groups who send out mass emails (MoveOn.org, for example) would also feel a pinch if this goes through.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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

Yeah, pretty much.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Tom, it's because you don't know what color to get it painted. I'm choosing violet for you.

Face it, it's better than letting msbelle pick the color!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Is the CSI actors' (George Eads and Eric Szmanda) relationship just a rumor, or a for-sure?

I don't think anything could be for sure unless the actors themselves said it. But they lived together as roommates for quite some time (with Jorja Fox as well), and attended tons of red carpet events with Jorja and one of her partners from Honey Pot Productions (an all-women alternative theatre company in LA) as their dates. And didn't maintain consistency regarding who was dating whom. And were sometimes photographed hugging each other on the red carpet with neither lady anywhere to be seen. And were rumored to have been spotted drunk and making out at some awards show or benefit a couple of years ago.
