Do you bring up truculent dinosaurs when discussing how the average dice roll is 3.5?

Well, they'll get their yearly bath at least. We've only had 3 days or so with rain since the "rainy season " started in October. Supposed to rain tonight through at least Monday.

Can't just walk to the liquor store?

what do you mean "No riots in Buffalo"? I was 10 at the time and remembering hearing the accounts on the radio. Living in Cheektowaga and not knowing the geography of the east side I was worried the riots were just blocks away as they mentioned William Street and Broadway.

I had a boss that was from England. This was in the 90s. He said you had to buy private insurance there. He had an infected ingrown toenail. He was told he had to wait 3 months for an appointment. He had not mentioned that he had private insurance. He called back later and told them he had insurance. They could see him the next week.

Corn too

He's an A-hole in real life too. Go into the places he hangs out in LA and Hollywood and he is known as a big misogynist.

Here's Steve Wozniak in a car commercial. The owner is a friend of his. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNJS5GdpPRE

Back in I think 1979, it was 72 on Christmas.

Last Wednesday, I had to go down to city hall in Oakland, CA, right where the protests were. They did a good job of re-sodding the grass. The OWS group is down to about 5-10 guys at 3 tables with about 5--6 cops keeping an eye on them. It's back to where you can have a nice lunch outside if you work on the plaza. One good thing came of it. The mayor will not get re-elected.

The goalie was right to kick him. They use their hands and he didn't want to damage them punching the guy.

9/11 of course.

He's dead now.

When keepin' it real goes wrong

Well, in that picture, she stopped putting the mayo in her hair.

What do they fine you if you park guest's cars on the lawn for a party? Do they take away your house?

Clicked the link before it was removed. I've seen better.

God, I was 11 before I was taller than 4'9". I ended up 5'4".

I heard that they were seeing if other things could be as effective as cannonballs and these cannon firings were for setting the baseline speeds and force of a real cannonball. The local TV said it glanced off the berm , then up in the air, bounced in front of the house shown, through the front door, up the stairs, out the back wall, bounced on a 4 lane road, skimmed the tile roof of a house and landed in someone's SUV destroying the dashboard. The Alameda Sheriff's PR spokesman is the liasion (sp?) with Mythbusters. He is at all their "experiments" okaying them.

The base has been here since WWII. It was during that time, the Seabees Pacific HQ and had a large Naval Hospital. The County Jail and a Sherif's Department shooting range are next door to the bomb range.The area around it was empty until about 10 years ago. The town (Dublin) doubled in size during the last 10 years - 23 to 46 K. I think those houses were built around 2004 or so. These were on the east side of the base. I live on the west side, but there are 100 foot hills between us and the base. Right after 9/11, I could hear almost nonstop gunfire there as all the reservists in the area were honing their infantry skills. Like I said, this is only a couple miles from me.

Mythbusters does a lot of stuff at the Alameda County Sheriff's bomb range. They had a "Oops!" moment Tuesday. http://dublin.patch.com/articles/mythbusters-tv-show-filming-may-be-source-of-explosion#photo-8640285 This is about 2 miles east of me.

Handle them the way they should have handled the UC Berkely tree sitters. Give them 10 minutes to come down, then start up the chain saws.
