This program, in fact, will really suck unless there's still bad blood, verbal sniping, open feuding, etc.

They probably pick the artists with potential for controversy in mind, which was one of the two criteria for Behind the Music, the other of course being that the artist/group had a new CD to plug.

Kajagoogoo should be good, as should Frankie, as the lead singers of each of those groups exhibited some notoriously diva-esque (Hi tm!) behavior. Don't know the whole story yet, but I can't imagine the Squeeze reunion being too full of conflict.

Definitely need more punk groups as I wanna hear some punker tell a former bandmate to "Fuck off, you bloody wanker!" and crack him over the head with a fifth of Jack... and a full blown Van Halen reunion with Sammy AND Dave would be hilarious.

I just forgot to wear briefs; but your personal attack is misplaced. The temperature at which a part of one's body turns into an ice cube is certainly no barometer of one's manliness. Do you feel steel wimpier than water because it freezes at a higher temperature?

I'd say any steel that freezes at a higher temperature than water is indeed quite wimpy.

I am starting to understand why the R's on the P-board can't understand the difference between lying over a little extracurricular action in the oval office and lying to get us into a war -- one relates to the job, the other doesn't.

Wait, I know this..... one only exists in your head, and one was supposedly only in her's.

And remember, there are individual sports and team sports, and you shouldn't dis the one who excel at team sports just because you only play one-on-one.

Do you feel powerful attacking the sexual prowness of strangers? Does this make you feel somehow fulfilled? Did you not read that I'm have erectile problems? Do you realize you've hurt me deeply? Do you Care?

Undergrad, you went to a State University, but not one of the better ones. Am I right?

All the girlies dig my avatar.

I just want to put this up again.

I suspect if the FB women have much to say about it, even one-on-one will be in question.

I had it again over the holidays -- and it was just as good as I remembered.

So many questions!

1. No. I feel powerful because I'm a hot shit big city lawyer.
2. Perhaps a little; more so if any of this were funnier.
3. No (that's too bad; sorry about that).
4. SCORE!
5. Well, at least one of us is scoring.

By the way, good call on editing the girlie comment out. Now you can pretend it was all in my head that it ever happend.

Damn proud of it. And I was in the top half of my class, too.

We definitely had parently permission for participation for [sex ed] at my school, and there was always a kid or two who opted out.

I dunno, my school was sort of "out there." We had at least one copy of "Are You There God It's Me, Margaret" in the middle school library -- and you didn't need permission to check it out. Haven't the pompous-ass book burners pretty much done away with that and other great books in schools by now? I seem to recall that book being on the "works of Satan that must be banned" list that pops up frequently. I still wonder how these mental midgets come up with their lists -- "The Lorax" gets on the list for some reason. Morons.

Well, as a 5th-grader, I would not have been grossed out by a cat dissection.

I became hysterical and fainted when my 7th grade science teacher put a mouse to sleep under glass (he revived it, of course). Had it been a human it would not have bothered me -- anything involving animals that is not simply loving and respecting them is my weakness.

In his spare time my father was chief of the local volunteer fire department so by the time I was 10 I had been to many fires, car accidents, etc. that involved some pretty graphic moments simply because I was in the car with him when the call went out. The only semi-disturbing moment I had was when I had to clean some "stuff" off of the dress uniform a young firefighter died in on his way to a parade (my dad's department paraded at fairs for cash prizes to help raise money to support the department) ... his mother wanted him buried the next day and there was no time for dry cleaning. He was only a few years older than me and we had grown up together -- it was hard to do.

Back before I hit the corporate world I was invovled in some wrongful death cases (okay, I will admit that the young kid bothered me) and worked for a judge when we had some capital murder cases.....I have seen many photos and at least one autopsy. The pain and suffering of animals still bothers me more because they are just naturally innocent and most people are not.

Welcome, grasshopper.

I would suggest a quick trip to Circuit City to get yourself a sarcasm meter.

Isn't there supposed to be an emoticon to trigger the sarcasm meter?

Be the baseball.

My brother once got yelled at by John Turner for biking across his lawn.

Perhaps you can explain this for me.

(Torontonian professor wears cyborg suit, is a pain in the ass)

"As a teenager, Mann worked in a television repair shop and became fascinated by the mini-TVs that served as viewfinders in consumer camcorders. He decided to link that technology with computing, and by the late 1970s, he began experimenting with wearable computers.

He wore one to a high school dance."

The professor's wife also wears one, but the article is silent on how their relationship is enhanced. 7 of 9?

Who knows. I wouldn't worry about it, they are public/shared avatars for a reason and it is perfectly acceptable for more than one person to use the same one, as long as the purpose of doing so isn't to cause confusion.
