There was another case in NJ several years ago where a 15-year-old boy killed an 11-year-old boy. The 15-year-old had been been in and out of institutions a few times, plus was involved in a police sting operation (a middle-aged man he'd met online had raped him, and the police were using him as bait to trap the guy, and the kid eventually got fed up with this, decided that the guy cared more about him than the police did, and ripped all the recording stuff off his phone), and his parents had told a judge, basically, "We don't know what to do with this kid, we can't do any more to help him, please help us," and the judge essentially told them to take him home and be better parents. A few weeks later, he killed the younger boy.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I like how they finessed the Snitch.
I'm telling you the Harry Potter theme park is going to outsell Disneyland by a large margin.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Star Robot Chicken Wars was good. Some episodes were OK, and some had me laughing hysterically.
Now they're showing the first one again....

Now tagless for your comfort.
I can just catch Robot Chicken to record!

That's pretty much standard.

Her kitchen is always redecorated to match her theme of the show (always).
And so is she! If it's, say, a treats theme, there will be a cotton-candy pink window treatment, pink stand mixer and Sandra Lee in a pink, off-the-shoulder number.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm way too lazy about getting my brows plucked, but I like how it looks when they're done. Then again, I like the way they look well enough when they're natural too or I wouldn't be so lazy about it.
I'm coloring my hair right now AIFG. I do hope it turns out red enough.

'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"
Am I the only freak who likes plucking errant hairs?
Beverly, my sincerest condolences to you and your family.
