So I might as well indulge and enjoy it all now. Mazel Tov!

Saying that the site jumped the shark itself jumped the shark several months ago. I believe it was October 21 at about 4:53 p.m., Pacific time.

You don't even want to know when ripping people for making "www.jumptheshark.com jumped the shark" jokes jumped the shark.

Wow, Catholic fasting is way easier than Mormon fasting. Mormons fast the first Sunday of each month. Fasting is complete abstinence from food or drink for two meals or 24 hours (depending on whom you ask). Typically that means no breakfast or lunch on Sunday, no food or drink (even water) whatsoever between arising and just after the blessing on the evening meal.

Some of the most orthodox/orthopractic Mormons won't go out for dessert the Saturday evening before a Fast Sunday, because then they would feel the need to push back Sunday's dinner to get in the full 24 hours. Super-orthodox Mormons will debate whether chewing gum or licking stamps breaks a fast. More liberal Mormons tend to be more casual about the whole fasting thing.

Who has time to eat when you have all those assorted wives to knock up?

...but children are encouraged to fast starting at the age of 8.

It gets them ready for their arranged marriage at 10.

In response to the letter from the woman who had a special relationship with her dog, the philly.com website posted the following letter from another reader:

I never thought I would see the day that I would not encourage my children to read the paper. [Insert prudish Main Line Philadelphia sniff here.] Each day, I'd bring home the Daily News and leave it on the coffee table, reminding the kids how much can be learned from reading the newspaper. [rofl]

On April 10, that ended. During my daily read, I came across a column that started out innocently enough - a question from a woman who is lonely when her boyfriend is out of town. Further reading revealed that this woman eases her loneliness by having sexual intercourse with her dog. I stopped reading the paper, the last Daily News I will ever buy.

I understand that this woman has a serious issue, which needs to be addressed immediately. [Um, yeah. That's why she's so fond of the dog.] But I don't understand why the editors felt our daily newspaper was the forum [not to be confused with "Forum"].

Non-news subjects can be a significant part of the paper, but deviate [Do you know the difference between a verb and an adjective?] sexual behavior has no place here. I hope that poor woman finds professional help.

And I hope every parent was lucky enough to toss the April 10 Daily News before it made it to their coffee table.

How about dogs who want people to read about people wanting to do dogs?

...dogs, sex and Philadelphia....

This entire discussion merely proves how far ahead we are in San Francisco, where long-time residents will remember tales of "Alpo woman" from the local press.

[leagleaze]

I apologize to all the dogs I insulted by not including them in my post about diversity.


Alpo woman huh. What did she do, put Alpo somewhere and....oh never mind.

[i]Its great because the production is fantastic and it doesn't get caiught up in some childish self-important message to society like OK Computer. The most potentially creative bands of our time have been lost to the pretentious belief that they had to make a statement to society - U2, Rage and Radiohead as prime examples. Rage has put out fiour musically fantastic records, yet all of De La Rocha's lyrics combined don't have the force of 30 seconds of
Dylan's "Hurricane" or "Masters of War." Its a hell of a thing to wrote a damn fine protest song - folks like Bono, Strummer, De La Rocha, the Radiohead singer and Springsteen aren't qualified and shouldn't try.

The last two Radiohead albums don't contain any noticeable "message" or protest. And OK Computer only does so in some general, non-explicit technology-skeptic sort of way (and who the hell can tell anyway as you can usually barely understand what he is singing). Radiohead remains one of the few bands of the moment who are actually willing to make their next album different from the last, which is something of a feet in the music world of today.

As someone who did not have this problem in my 20s, I'm not sure how to handle this. How can anything related to alcohol be wrong? Life is so unfair!

This is mostly due to muscle atrophy. Start lifting weights. Don't get frisky and try doing something like benching over your bodyweight without getting checked out by a doc though.

In California, we're lucky enough to have a chain that doesn't get you into trouble on Good Friday...Rubio's fish tacos...tasty.

Wahoo's whips Rubio's three times a Sunday.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. When I finally watched the first Harry Potter movie on HBO a few months ago (yes, I am waaay behind--just never thought I would be interested in that kind of movie) I was like, "Wow, my face is getting a little warm--this kid is a complete hottie. I wondered to myself whether TWAWWT."

For anyone who has been following the case of Laci Peterson (the pregnant woman who was due to deliver shortly after she vanished) apparently the police took her husband into custody and will be holding a press conference this evening in about 15 minutes.


"MODESTO, California (CNN) -- Police took the husband of missing pregnant woman Laci Peterson into custody Friday, sources told CNN."
