Results of the Bennifer Poll- will Bennifer ever tie the knot?

Yes, it is true love, and we all know that always wins out, in the end, especially for famous types with no talent

No, because he's too good for her, and he should marry someone who can appreciate his lantern jaw.

No, because she is too good for him, she should marry someone who can appreciate her big ass.

No, and come on, I am sick of this, and who gives a fuck you sick, sad people.

No, because they are both pathetic and so obviously WRONG for each other

Canadians Pan Government-Backed Marijuana
1 hour, 20 minutes ago


OTTAWA - Some of the first patients to smoke Canada's government-approved marijuana say it is "disgusting" and they want their money back.

Health Canada, the federal health department, started selling marijuana in July to bring relief to patients suffering from AIDS (news - web sites), cancer and other diseases. The move followed a court order that patients should not be forced to get their marijuana from drug dealers on the streets.

But some of the first to buy the government's marijuana say it is no good.

"It's totally unsuitable for human consumption," said Jim Wakeford, 58, an AIDS patient in Gibsons, British Columbia.

Wow. The GOP has been telling me for years that the world's universal health care systems are inherently flawed and inefficient compared to the American private care marketplace. Until today, I guess I never really believed them.

And I thought it was just me. The full moon is definitely a factor. Two things I try:

(1) putting on socks and/or slippers. Don't know why but making my feet warmer seems to help.

(2) wetting a washcloth with really really cold water and putting it on my face until my face is really cold. A friend told me to fill the sink with really cold water and put my face in it for as long as I could stand. (Something about tricking your body thermostat, I don't know.) I don't like that so I so the washcloth.

Shopping channels with the volume on low also help me sleep.

The Lovely and Talented Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson is a fine actress. She had a difficult role in Ghost World, because most of the work was reacting to Thora Birch's character. She also had to subtly convey the distance that grew between them as the film progressed.

In The Man Who Wasn't There, she more than held her own with Billy Bob Thornton. She also had to play a teenager who was not snarky or obvious or modern or "edgy." That's hard for a lot of young actors to play, since most teen movies require one of those modes for the leads.

She also has a fantastically smoky voice. Now that Kathleen Turner has passed her prime (See The Virgin Suicides), some woman needs to pick up that torch.

Having said that, I don't think of Miss Johansson as an object of lust. That's what Salma Hayek and Jennifer Connelly are for.

For fewest posts in a morning.

Is there another blackout east or something?

Perhaps you are all still groggy after staying up to watch the Cowboys beat the Giants in OT?

Luckily, I was able to sit through all the inane comments made about Shockey to enjoy an outstanding finish. Shockey's comment about Parcells was stupid (you can take the boy out of Oklahoma but you can't take the Oklahoma out of the boy), but the only people who seemed to care were Lisa Guerrero and Al Michaels. Bill Parcells is 62 years old - he either knows that he is not homosexual or that there is nothing wrong with that.

Dating Question

Okay, I have been discussing a situation with one of my girlfriends whose birthday is next week.

She has just started dating this new guy. They've been out once or twice, and she likes him.

She'd like to go out with him for her birthday.

Should she remind him that her birthday is next week and hope he steps up? Should she schedule something with him for her birthday, but not tell him it's her birthday? Or something else?

God damn Giants! Why do they do this to me?

Interception return for a TD! Yeah baby! Team is looking pretty good. I'm feeling pretty confident, then everything breaks down. Oh well. As I leave the bar they are getting their asses handed to them on a plate. Head home, walk the dog, Parcells in owning the clock as they move into the 4th quarter. I go to sleep, not being able to stomach watching yet another loss to the hated Cowboys. Then I wake up to hear they came back?!

If only I had stayed awake and cheered them on, I know they would have pulled out the victory.

On another note, there is a story at cnn.com today about sleep positions and personality traits. Link here

Summary:
Fetal sleepers tend to be shy and sensitive while people who assume the soldier position, flat on their back with arms at their sides, are quiet and reserved.

Sleeping on one's side with legs outstretched and arms down in what Idzikowski refers to as the log, indicates a social, easy-going personality. But if the arms are outstretched, the person tends to be more suspicious.

The freefall, flat on the tummy with the hands at the sides of the head, is the most unusual position. Only 6.5 percent of people prefer it and they are usually brash and gregarious.

Unassuming, good listeners usually adopt the starfish position -- on the back with outstretched arms and legs.

I'm a log. (TM would probably agree with that.)

No one can lose, like the Giants can lose. I still have flash backs to The Fumble.

Take a wild guess as to what I am. Freefaller, unless there is new person in bed, in whcih case i am fetal position. but eventually bc freefaller. Didnt know we were so rare. Its jjust the best position.

Speaking of rare, I am also the counselor on the Meyers Briggs which is one of the rarest.

I think either she should make it clear that it's her birthday and she wants to see him on her birthday or not do anything. The hinting is annoying and the secret birthday is kinda creepy.

My two cents and contribution to the effort to get posts.

This sometimes happens during non-peak hours. Some of the better clubs get such a crowd at peak times that it can be difficult to get a dance. Of course, when a place attracts a crowd, it will also attract more entertainers, who usually work as independent contractors. They may want to start a little early to get a jump on their competition, so to speak. But it's all simple economics, and my invisible hand is working.

The single best way to watch a MNF game is on a 45 minute delay. We skipped all the commercials, half-time, almost every time the Bimbette opened her mouth, and half of Al Michaels bullshit.

Yeah, that entire story is just made up by the press. Parcells never cared and it was basically a stupid schoolyard taunt that should have been left in 7th grade. Non-story.

Lisa G. continues to fail to impress. I liked it when she was talking about Hamilton being injured and she had to look at the monitor to get the guy's name. Something that could have been committed to memory, maybe?

I'm not happy the the G-Men gave the game back. Not exactly surprised though either...
