I thought it was soap, and he was holding it up while saying "Never drop this in a prison shower, do you hear me? NEVER. Obey the voice of experience."

Great work by Ray Walston in that movie as the not blind or deaf then blind then deaf newstand guy...

Possibly the only intentionally funny movie Joe Piscopo ever appeared in... and Marilu Henner, don't get me started on Marilu Henner in that movie.

Based on Sunny's goading yesterday, I did a little digging into ignore list usage. Some of the info pretty interesting:

1. Rather than put up with the clutter, many people just ignore socks, whether they are of a persistent or one-off variety.
2. The higher your user number, the more likely you are being ignored (xenophobia? or, are the only new users socks?). Likewise, the lower your user number, the less likely you are being ignored.
3. That being said, if you are a regular poster and think you couldn't possibly be on someone else's ignore list, you are wrong.
4. Somehow each of the original admins managed to make it onto someone's ignore list. Those entries are going to be manually deleted in accordance with our FAQs/TOS. Also, we are disabling the ability to add admins to your ignore list. It was supposed to have been disabled, but someone got enabled. A side effect is that you won't be able to add moderators to your list. However, if you want a particular moderator added to your ignore list, PM me and I can manually add it into the database.
Leagl got tired of your shit, MR. Natch.
And moi? Someone's ignoring moi? MOI?

Can't say I blame em.

That said, let's get some chatter about the newest episode of ATHF! The one with the shrink ray/enlarge ray. Genius. Finally they've decided to get funny! Maybe they got tired of having Sealab be so much better all the time. If you get a chance to see it, do not skip over the intro. First, the text messages give a heads-up about alien butts. Then, the Moon-inites get into a road-rage moon-fest with the Emory and Ogglethorpe, ending with "Put em on the glass." Brilliant.

Urr: Dude they're mooning us!
Ignignoct: Impossible, we are the Mooninites.

BRAIN PREFERS WORKING FOR CASH
 
I dunno about the all y'all but I feel certain my brain would prefer not working for cash:

Study: Brain Prefers Working for Cash

Thu May 13, 1:05 PM ET Add Science - AP to My Yahoo!


By DANIEL YEE, Associated Press Writer

ATLANTA - It's nicer when you actually earn it.





Missed Tech Tuesday?
Explore super fast 64-bit computers, check the top ten list of desktops with the quicks and get an answer to the question: Is the Apple Power Mac G5 the world's fastest PC?





Lottery winners, trust-fund babies and others who get their money without working for it do not get as much satisfaction from their cash as those who earn it, a study of the pleasure center in people's brains suggests.


Emory University researchers measured brain activity in the striatum — the part of the brain associated with reward processing and pleasure — in two groups of volunteers. One group had to work to receive money while playing a simple computer game; the other group was rewarded without having to earn it.


The brains of those who had to work for their money were more stimulated.


"When you have to do things for your reward, it's clearly more important to the brain," said Greg Berns, associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral science. "The subjects were more aroused when they had to do something to get the money relative to when they passively received the money."


Berns and other researchers said the study has broader real-world implications, particularly in the age of multimillion-dollar lottery jackpots.


He said that other studies have shown "there's substantial evidence that people who win the lottery are not happier a year after they win the lottery. It's also fairly clear from the psychological literature that people get a great deal of satisfaction out of the work they do."


In the Emory study, published Thursday in the journal Neuron, volunteers played a computer game in which they had to push a button every time a triangle appeared. The 16 volunteers played while their brains were scanned by a magnetic resonance imaging machine, or MRI.


The researchers found that some reward centers of the brain were activated whenever a volunteer received money. However, the striatum was activated only when volunteers worked for their reward.


Berns suggested that the brain is wired this way by nature.


"I don't think it ever evolved to sit back and sit on the couch and have things fall in our laps," he said.


The study was funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.


"This part of the brain is a fascinating part. It's associated with drug abuse, a number of diseases," Berns said. "It's no coincidence we're finding it to be very important in almost everything that we do."

Or, how about this: maybe no one "gets" you because you aren't funny? Nah, can't be. You're so lowbrow you're highbrow, right?

The brains of those who had to work for their money were more stimulated.

And in the proposal for Round 2 of this very important research, we hope to learn whether hookers get as much stimulated satisfaction from earning their money as do CEOs, lawyers and bricklayers.

I agree with your husband. Like I said before, her face is freaky now. Too much definition when she smiles. She looks like The Joker.
