I don't think I could keep a straight face if Willis says "I do everything in my BVDs!" to counter MJ's Hanes ads.

The street?

Linguity?

I guess it's also the contractor's decision to use mortar between the bricks or not. Or to make his workers wear hard-hats or not (even tho in the time I was in the trade, it was with objects where the helmet was wearing you for protection). Shouldn't be surprised when his/her license is revoked tho. I've never had a prescription telephoned into a pharmacy. Saying everyone uses the phone is like saying everyone uses the Laserdisc. And the issue here is that the pharm took the written prescription and refused to return it. If moral/religious concsience excludes a pharm. from doing their job, then the employer should be able to ask that in the job application. Sure, you can believe what you want, but just like the freedom to jump off the roof and fly, there are consequences to freedom of speech. For stores like CVS, Rite-Aid, etc. the pharmacist does not own the store. And additionally, he or she works as a pharm at the liscensure of the state who oversee that customers are served equally across the state rather than the rogue pharmacists who are dictators behind the Sudafed aisle; same principle as common law. This is the law whether you call it "communist" or not.

The Buffalo/WNY accent is near impossible to nail down unless you're from the area. It's not like there's one definitive WNY accent, like the Joisey pinched-nose one. Mix among Polish, Italian, spattering of Dutch.... They've done a lot of finagling of the cast from what it was originally going to be. Charlie was going to be an over-the-hill rock star, Jack was going to be killed off in the pilot.... It's worked for the best. Just saw that the EW cover & article is actually in issue #815. And to clear up, there are no "new" eps until 4 May. There's a refresher special that has the flashbacks played in order on 27 April.

And when the pharmacist refuses to give back the prescription? B/c those are the most recent marching orders and why these cases are coming up. They know if if they can delay for 72 hours, their beliefs are foisted onto others, yippeeeeee! If they can't stand "doing harm" they should seek another profession. Health care of the body human is all about robbing Peter to pay Paul. See: chemotherapy as only the most obvious example. Houston Chronicle op-ed.

That's just a weird construction. Might be interesting to find out why they have it like that. Is it a Northeast thing? or U.S.? They don't write 'Jaime Cardinal Sin' here.... And might I just comment, you can't make this stuff up.

I didn't write that JPII facilitated abuse; the paragraph was about Law. Go back and read again. That said, sorry, but anything less than the pope ordering that Law and the pertinent records be turned over to the authorities doesn't cast a good light on JPII. And however you describe it, the fact that Law took a fast plane to Vatican City, is still seen (in NE especially) that he was invited into the pope's city to be protected from the public outcry and possible prosecution. (Again, look through history and you'll see many a case where a leader who was exalted for doing something great in one area especially, also did (or in this case, failed to do) something not-so-great in that same area. Some people call it ironic when these things happen. I don't know what I call it, but it's definitely not a peachy-keen ).

Utilitarian ethics at its finest, don't you know.... I don't think that theory is right. Locke isn't a good guy, but he's probably not ultimately going to be as bad a guy as a lot of people are thinking he is (including me). Actually, the show is written week to week. And sometimes, day to day. When it was the hit it's turned out to be, I think Abrams' previous bible for the show turned into Genesis. It was originally designed for one season, and now JJA is talking six. The preview on TV said Wednesday. So I would assume that means this Wednesday. Altho the episode guide on TvTome said no new eps 'til May. So I can't make heads or tails of it.

Uhmm, mayhaps you can put it in yellow font? Please and thank you. And for the record, the preview says very clearly that the radio transmission Boone got back was "We're the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815." Sounds like Rose may not have been full o' sh--, but how did she know? It also shows Locke making a contortion as if he's been shot but there's no discernable wound that I can see....

Yes, he was a cardinal before the most recent scandal broke. Channel 5 out of Boston would always refer to him as "Bernard Cardinal Law." Always sounded weird to me as a copy editor. I have no idea why that order was used for him b/c every other cardinal I've read about is called "Cardinal X Y." Whatever.... O'Malley, who replaced him, is a Bishop, I think. "A kick upstairs"? Call it what you want. Law did not resign; he was transfered. People 'round here saw it as a promotion b/c he was sent to the Vatican, closer to the pope. Read that he is to lead a homily for the pope this week, too. Regardless, he's still high up in the leadership. It's utterly disgusting that this guy isn't rotting in a jail or had the Mafia do the same Chinese Finger treatment they do for diddlers b/c he is just as guilty, if not more since he facilitated it. The fact that JPII didn't take a much stronger stand, especially by making an example of the facilitators like Law, is a stain on the legacy of a pope that himself truly cared about children. Corp, I don't know why you're so "glad [you're] not a member" of the CC. The statistics aren't much different for other kinds of churches. You just don't hear about it, b/c many go unreported (and in this regard I think the Protestant churches are actually higher than CC, simply b/c victims are uncomfortable being the first to say anything and have the media clusterf--k their lives).

Good thing he didn't use $3 bills.... Idiot cashier. And what's scary but too true, an idiot cop. Lovely invocation of 9/11, there. F--ktards.

The First Amendment doesn't extend to the Ralph and other NFL stadia. I hope there are too many Ron Mexico signs for them to censor. Not that anyone in 10-Minute Memory America will remember what that refers to.

Ahh, yes. The Sound of Silence. It's so great for when your half is in office. I think it was Dante who wrote that the hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who in a time of crisis remain neutral and say nothing. Word to the wise, it's not people who say the war was the wrong choice that's dragging enlistment down. Kids who are serious about it will not be deterred by a protestor. And if they are, I doubt they'd make it thru boot camp. There's a war on and young people don't exactly want to be fighting a war b/c of "WMD intent" and whatever the next excuse will be for going in to Syria, Iran, etc. Yes, lies have reverberation. There's a reason why there was little military recruiting advertising in the NCAA Tournament this year after it's long been heavy on it b/c so many enlistment-age people watch it. It's not worth the expenditure b/c w/ the war, whoever's serious will enlist and those who aren't, won't. If declining enlistment rates were such a threat, that should have been considered. I write this as my brother's quasi-fiance is going to be dropping her son off for the weekend as she and my bro have drill.

It's not about keeping a 3-year-old from eating cookies. It's about developing a life-long commitment to make rational decisions about a diet. The whole 'personal responsibility' thing is great in theory and less effective when parents have to work two FT jobs to have a roof over them. How is this different from the NRA creating the Eddie Eagle program to influence young kids to not play with guns (Stop. Don't touch. Leave the area. Tell an adult.)? There's no problem with a media program reinforcing a good habit. Doesn't mean it'll work, but kerist, what's the uproar?

Hey, I didn't say anything about a wand....

Dorenbos? He's a magician. As in hat, cards and doves.

Well, now that they're busy teaching kids to eat a more healthy diet, at least they won't have time to promote that whole 'tolerance of other people' schpiel that was deemed so dangerous by the Dept. of Education.

"Just one more question....."

Try "Woman in Sea Hawaii" by Herb Ritts. I'd use an X-acto and frame and matte the picture so it doesn't have that cheap poster look, tho. Imagining how the front looks is half the enjoyment. I love B&W photography. Amazing how taking something out adds so much. But, I'd implore you to branch out. There's some great works here... Botanical Metamorphics. These were in the library back when I was at UConn, about 5'x3' and they were blown up from photo contact paper. I was taking botany and nutrition classes at the time and it really changes the staid way you look at nature. Really cool stuff, but quite expensive. I like the 'Sugar Peas' the most. On Edit --- whoops, didn't see your size spec. I don't know how much you're going to find that size that aren't dirty pictures....

I don't think it's established that Sara died after the wedding. For all we know, she is a presumed "widow" and that's why there's been no Jack&Kate. I don't think that's the case, tho. Probably a divorce, b/c he didn't really seem to be in love with her for her, but rather for her as the patient that he needs to take care of and watch over. Much like, in a non-manly-love way, he did for Boone last night. There was a fatherly/brotherly love there in how much Jack was sacrificing and agonizing. For the original accident, tho, that's an interesting theory, one that I'm not discounting. Everyone on the island had a connection before getting on that plane.

Ehh... My experience didn't result in venison in the freezer, and my family is like Swiss Family Robinson in that regard. I don't know how roadkill tastes or what it does to the meat. Anybody ever uhh, salvage a deer?

I hit a deer a while back (literally came out of nowhere, one bound right to the middle of the road) but it only did some damage to the grill, radiator and the lights, which are ironically the most expensive single part on a car outside of the engine. Didn't report it to insurance b/c it was mostly cosmetic and not worth higher premiums. If it's extensive damage, you probably should report it. I'd suggest you call your father and break it to him right away (and say a few times, "The important thing is no one was hurt" so he can see the big picture if he's easily thralled by such occurances). Don't wait until he gets home if there's any way you can reach him; learning bad news over the phone is much easier than walking up the drive and seeing a totaled car. Not being informed right away pisses people off, especially fathers. You can ask what steps to take and describe the damage, etc. and see what to do. I'm not sure if you have to have a police report in this circumstance. Waiting won't help, tho. Call your dad and see what the protocol is.

Yeah. I thought there would be more cutting b/w the two contrasting emotions of joy about the baby and Shannon's grief about Boone. I don't know if it makes Shannon want to get herself to a nunnery tho. Looks like Sayid will be taking on a revenge role probably both to earn Shannon's love and for the greater good of the community in a posse. They've really used music well in this series. The preview shows that the key to the Halliburton was taken and I would think either Locke gets a pistol (he has one from the missionary's body --- but I have to say it was surprisingly rust-free for a gun that's been out in the elements for 2-10 years....) or Sayid raids it. My guess in who apparently shoots Locke would be Rousseau making a surprise appearance with her rifle, for reason that she sees Locke is "sick." I think the island just goes through the ranks. That she's managed to avoid it kind of excuses her craziness.

The was for A) the person who wrote the article I read where there were new shows on and 2) for the network leaving such a gap now that the story is really drawing you in. Wasn't meant for you. Prol'y. They aren't so bad. I think this aired a couple of weeks ago in Australia and that region. Nothing big came out of it, other than some troublemakers on boards saying it was more than it was.
