Oh, and 203-365-9666 (number unknown, darn!) On day #2 800-845-2074 started calling us. We all know that minors buying cigarettes on the Internet is a problem. This is in large part because a) companies that sell cigarettes on the Internet can't know the age of the person ordering them, and b) many companies that sell cigarettes on the Internet don't care if the person ordering them is a minor. But passing a Tobacco Delivery Law, such as the state of Maine has done, that makes the delivery companies, such as UPS, FedEx, and the like, responsible for delivering the cigarettes to a minor has to be one of the most stupid, dunderheaded things I've heard in a long time. Can you believe it?? The Tadpole headset and iPod case for children - toddlers!! Earphones for kids! It's just disgusting! Here's a picture of it and more information. Honest to gawd, I just had the following exchange, word for word, with a product of our school system - which once again illustrates why we homeschool. Wretch wretch wretch. Ok, when I got our fabulous reverse osmosis filter system, I got it to remove icky chemicals from our drinking water. Why anyone would want a water filter to instead add chemicals back into their drinking water I don't know. But Pur has just started selling their "Pur Flavor Options" water flavoring cartridges in strawberry, peach and raspberry. Really. Water filter flavors. Disgusting. Teachers in a Tennessee elementary school staged a fake gunman attack while on a field trip, telling the sixth-grade school children that it was "not a drill", while the children cowered crying under tables, believing that they were about to be shot to death. Are you one of those people who talks with your hands? How about one of those people who, while on the phone, holds the phone with one hand while talking with the other? On election day, I got a CNN news flash email. With it being election day and all (and late afternoon) I figured that it was probably some early return election upset or something.. something really potentially important enough to warrant a news flash... So I opened the email and it was the news that... I just this moment got in this CNN breaking news story: President Bush's policy in Iraq "is not working," the Iraq Study Group said in releasing its long-awaited report. No sh*t?? War-torn countries aren't the only places where atrocities occur where people are voting. And paper ballots aren't without their own dangers, the concerns over evoting not withstanding. I don't care whether you are for, against, or completely ignorant of, the new Riverside, New Jersey law which makes it a crime to employ or rent a home to an illegal alien (the so-called "hiring and housing" ban). But I object, rather strenously, to opponents calling the $1,000 fine a "severe penalty". And while we are speaking of sick fncks (cf: previous post on JonBenet Ramsey), what kind of sick fnck tries to fry baby kittens live in hot oil in a frying pan??? "Plumber's Floss". I like that. It has a certain ring to it, and even without a picture, you know exactly what I mean. Plumber's Floss. Look for it on a clueless ass near you. Geezus! Here it is, November 11th. And that's the point. It's November 11th. The body of Halloween isn't even cold yet, and Thanksgiving has not yet happened, and it looks like a Christmas cheer factory threw up all over Starbucks. Ho bloody ... I'm no economist, and I'm certainly not a petroleum reserves expert. But even I can tell that there is something wrong wrong wrong when our country is experiencing the kinds of price spikes we've seen for petroleum products, and experts are predicting ... This is a rant which has been a long time in coming. That's because I see it nearly every day. You see, I subscribe to the Operation Amber mailing list, and so I see each and every one of the Amber Alerts which ... There is just something wrong about the phrase "a potpourri of guns", don't you agree? Actually, more specifically, the phrase was "a potpourri of rifles, handguns and shotguns, including a Rugar Mini-14 assault rifle". Still just...wrong, yes? And hey, lest anyone think that I ... USA Today is reporting that the FDA has just approved the sale of defibrillators for home use, without a prescription. According to the story, the FDA "found that the model it approved, Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator, has been designed and labeled in such a ... As any sentient being in the United States is aware by now, Starbucks has partnered with T-Mobile to offer wireless "hotspots" in most of the Starbucks throughout the United States. They offer 3 different plans, all of for which you can sign up on ... Being homeowners, from time to time we suffer the slings and arrows of home ownership, namely something breaks and needs to be fixed..NOW! Such was the case with our main sewer line, which, as confirmed by two independent authorities, really needed to be replaced ... Check out this news story which I still can't believe isn't an Onion headline - and I've looked at both the NY Times site (where the story appears), and The Onion site (where it doesn't), and I still don't believe it. Here's the lead-in: "FBI ... Dateline Yakima Washington, December 23, 2003: The health department has just announced the first U.S. case of "mad cow disease", the clinical name for which is bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Well, we kind of figured that it had to happen sometime. Makes me ... I, like 100s of 1000s of people, have been known to use the services of a Personal Mail Box (PMB) provider, such as MailBoxes Etc.. Recently, the service I used lost their lease, and closed their doors. They very generously lined up another ... Geezus!!! What is WRONG with people??? Now, we all know that breastfeeding confers all sorts of health benefits and immunities, right? But it does *not* keep you safe from your mother being a MORON and breastfeeding you WHILE DRIVING THE CAR!!!!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3293447.stm Honest ... I used to laugh at reports of stores pushing Christmas merchandise before Thanksgiving had even rolled around. Not any more. This year it hit the Bay area with a vengeance. The day after Halloween many of our local stores seemed to have bypassed turkeys, ... |
