Speaking of Zappos, I was just looking at handbags over there and they have a category of bags called "North/South." ??? I've never heard that term before. And it's not defined in their glossary. Anybody know what it means?

I worked with a woman who sent her mother flowers every year on her own birthday--to thank her for a job well done. I thought it was a cute gesture.

I worked with a woman whose son-in-law sent her a dozen roses, every year, on his wife's birthday. Smart son-in-law.

I saw a tv show once with before and after pics of meth users that was pretty convincing. They should do a time-lapse of someone's teeth and skin after smoking for a few years.

I think they do in Europe. There was a thing in the Carmen and Dave reality show where Dave Navarro was looking at his pack of cigarettes and was all, "PREMATURE AGING?!?"

Apparently there is a video game based on the Left Behind books. I love the idea that converted people immediately have sweater vests.

Any wackiness should not reflect on religious people in general as there are wacky people in any group except possibly Volvo owners.

lisah- I think that means the bag zips vertically rather than horizontally.

as there are wacky people in any group except possibly Volvo owners.

You have not met the Volvo drivers I have.

You have not met the Volvo drivers I have.

I guess I was thinking that was more eccentric than wacky, but I could be wrong.

Heh:

Don't mock Left Behind: Eternal Forces because it's a Christian game. Mock it because it's a very bad game. The real-time strategy/adventure game from Left Behind Games based on the best-selling series of novels from Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins will even let down born-again types who expect the Rapture to beam them up to heaven any day now. Nobody has enough faith to endure a game with such a hokey story, terrible mission design, serious problems with the interface and graphics, and loads of crippling bugs.

thanks, askye!

Jessica -it sounds like the game matches the quality of the books.
