Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I need to buy an HDMI cable for CJ's PS3. Any tips or good sources. I have done some goggling and I see a wide range of prices. Does it make that big of a difference? My instinct is to find the cheapest one for the length I need. Advice?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Go for the cheapest.

I wholeheartedly recommend buy.com. i just got a co-worker two 6 foot gold-plated HDMI cables for $9 with s/h included.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Amazon also has a vendor that has very cheap cables.

This was "an I need it now". So I hit Target and got a 6' for $20. But, of course, there was a display of new DVD's and Supernatural's 5th season called to me. I still made it out for under $100, so I'm not gonna fuss.

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

NASA Hasselblad for sale

EBay seller Photo-arsenal-worldwide is flogging this mint-in-package NASA Hasselblad camera; bidding now stands at nearly $34,000. I love how everything in space looks like it was descended from a Tonka truck.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Damned Facebook question: A friend has posted photos of a group of people that includes me. Now I find those photos showing up on MY Photos page. I didn't put them there, nor approve them being there, and I want them gone, but I can't ask my friend to remove her photos - how do I get other people's photos to NOT show up on my photo page?

It's pissing me off, frankly.
