Me, I'm hoping for a cordless drill driver and practically anything from this catalog: http://www.lie-nielsen.com/
There's nothing better than a good tool under the holiday tree.

Felicity,
I've noticed a more strident tone from you lately that I must admit is somewhat disturbing.
AMM may simply be going through her "There's Something About Mary" phase. The best way to treat this malady is simply to let it run its course. Please give us, uh -- her, the freedom to work through it herself.
Peter

Charges filed
Charges filed against Jacko
And here's the shocking part...
Not only are there accusations of molestations and pornography, but Jackson actually served wine in soda cans. Shocking. Disgusting.
And also this, it turns out the mom is sue happy.
The boy’s family also filed a lawsuit claiming that the boy, his brother and mother were beaten by mall security guards in 1998 after the boy left a Southern California J.C. Penney store carrying clothes that had not been paid for. The lawsuit also alleged the mother was sexually assaulted. The family received a $137,500 settlement.

Strident? I was going for enthusiastic. (I used an exclamation point!)
It can be so hard to gauge tone on these message boards. |

Apparently so.
Never mind, then, and carry on.

Video Killed the Board

Not to be a Timmy or anything, but the game Beth brings to the office isn't Defender, but rather, STARGATE DEFENDER. And how brilliant is it that the video game obsession spoils Dave's . . . retaking the SAT to see whether he or Lisa is the smarter.

Stargate Defender kept me out of Stanford. I'm sorry. No, no no, not sorry. What's the big deal about Stanford. You know, who wants to be in California in the winter? The winter in Wisconsin is the best seven months of the year. |

Lance Lance underpants
Armstrong says he’ll retire after 2005 Tour
WASHINGTON - Five-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong says he’ll compete in two more tours before retiring. “I know that I’m here today and I’m alive today and I’ve been blessed to have this life and this sport, and I want to win the 2004 Tour de France,” Armstrong said.
So apparently he doesn't want to win the 2005 tour?

Not exactly. Former husband got really steamed when I took apart his Skilsaw and fixed it myself. Learned the hard way that I needed my own tools.
Current husband keeps his tools in Ziplock bags so he doesn't much care if I mess with them but he thinks a butter knife makes a good screw driver so I keep mine locked up.
He wouldn't know what to do with a water stone to save his life and once used one of my well-honed Japanese chisels to open a can of paint. Yelling and foot stomping ensued.
So I would say the relationship among me, men and tools has led to more than a few incidents where men were most definitely not pleased. |

It's the new "bitch, please".
I did not invent that, NTTAWWT, FYI etc, etc |

I, too, walked through that tunnel recently and the FB immediately intruded upon my thoughts (deep ones, too!). I believe I made a face as though I had just eaten a lemon as I walked by -- each one stupider than the last. |

Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure you didn't look THAT stupid. |

That sounds like multilayered irony to me. OTOH, maybe one of you is sock for the other and it is all just a coincidence.
Go figure.
Ka-ching!

You wouldn't know irony if it came up hehind you and bit you on your head, which you had stuck so far into in a hole in the ground that you had mistaken it for your ass.
And don't get me started on coincidence.

Uh, not to call myself Timothy, because that is not my name and thus would make no sense, but, what exactly does "hehind" mean? This word is not a part of my Oxford English Dictionary ("OED") and I am unable to decipher your otherwise incoherent ramblings with the presence of this apparent non-word.
Is it french, Pierre?
