I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am skeptical that it would actually work that awesomely, with only four sections.

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

Yeah, I saw that. The new setup seems almost as odd, frankly. But can we focus on this part?

founded by Rev. Major Jealous Divine

Was Major his first name?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

"Secret Corners" - The Church - The Blurred Crusade

Ooh, Aussie music gets a look-in.

Monsoon- Robbie Williams

I love that album. Really helped me during my first marriage breakup. I haven't met many people in the States who get his appeal.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Random question - if you have really bad sinuses, and you're suddenly exposed to the vacuum of space, would your sinuses clear out?

Sure, in that your head will explode from the inside out.

waits for scientifically minded Buffista(s) to refute this

It's marginally better than if it was "Jealous".

I know!!

Ah. Wikipedia tells me (a) he made the whole thing up, and (b) "Rev. Major" was the title. [link]

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

At his urging, the Kleberg County commissioners on Monday unanimously designated "heaven-o" as the county's official greeting. The reason: "hello" contains the word "hell."

God save us from tiny minds. And really, he's got the whole town saying it? Frankly, I find it a bit creepy. I mean, I can remember a brief period of my youth when it was funny to note that "hello" had "hell" in it, and my friends and I would greet each other with HELL-OH! But I grew out of that. So is it that the whole town has the collective maturity of an 8 year old?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

heh ... reminds me of someone I worked with years ago - she was expecting a baby and was picking names. She liked the name Kirstie ... but wouldn't use it because it sounds like "curse". The craxy, it is strong.

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

Periodic Table Gets a New, Unnamed Element

"More than a decade after experiments first produced a single atom of "super-heavy" element 112, a team of German scientists has been credited with its discovery, but it has yet to be named. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry has temporarily named the element ununbium, as "ununbi" means "one one two" in Latin; but the team now has the task of proposing its official name."

I propose a write-in campaign to name it 'Buffistium.'
