    The first of a 3-day countdown to '06. Uses (one or two to a customer):

    *off-the-wall one-liners, observations, philosophy of life, etc.

    *whine (gifts you didn't get, people who don't use turn signals, thickened toenails
    on big toes)---things too puny for the HATE thread, but annoying as hell

    *predictions for '06

    *a joke worth sharing that you heard at a holiday gathering

    *favorite PC members' screen names you've spotted

    *your favorite Deadly Sin (of the Seven)

    *Oscar nominees

    *whether U.S. is in decline, a la the Roman Empire, and your indicator(s)

    *favorite word (you like the sound of it, or the look, or the meaning)

    *define "conservative" or "liberal" (no dictionaries)

    *if you were king or queen, the first thing you'd do is...

    *what's most likely to be really different 10 years from now (we'll dig it up)

    *anything atoll

    Oddest couple award



    ODD COUPLE

    A baby hippo named Owen stands by his “mother,†a giant male Aldabran tortoise, at the Mombasa Haller Park on Wednesday in Mombasa, Kenya. The odd couple have stayed together now for one year. They first got together after Kenya Wildlife Service rangers rescued the baby hippo in the sea off Malindi, after the Asian tsumani reached the Kenyan shore and separated the calf from its mother.

    1) My stupid Firefox extension "Easy Gestures" has stopped working. I have it attributed to the scroll wheel and it's no longer popping up.

    2) I ordered a Tombow Object fountain pen from the only source I could find - which was in England - and instead of a medium nib, they sent a bold nib. I love fountain pens but hate bold nibs .

    Tony,

    Trying uninstalling then reinstalling the extension. You may also try the update feature. If you've recently upgraded to 1.5, there have been issues with it so that may be the problem.

    That's going to be a slow damned Hippo...

    I didn't get the MS Natural 4000 keyboard that I wanted (though I didn't really tell anyone), so that's the only thing I'm bummed out about at the moment:

    Closed and restarted Firefox. Works agian.

    "Dookie" has got to be one of the funnest words. It's just fun to say.

    Also, since this is the "say anything" thread I see no reason to hold back:

    The MyTob virus has spoofed one of my websites. As admin of that site, I am getting virus rejection bounceback emails at the rate of 1 every 3 or 4 minutes. It really blows.

    If I was emperor of the world:

    I'd outlaw alcohol and tobacco and I'd make it illegal to drive an SUV on city streets. For that matter, I'd ban motorized vehicles from cities and towns. I'd end commercial and private air travel, reserving the use of airplanes to emergency transportation. I'd shut down all television stations. Radio would be permitted, but commercial advertising would be banned, so the only stations would be community stations. I'd eliminate the tax exemption for churches. There would be freedom of religion, but no tax exemption for religious institutions. If a bunch of people wanted to get together to worship, they'd have complete freedom. But if they want to incorporate into a church, that church would pay taxes just like any other corporation. Taxes would be graduated and progressive, but there'd be no deductions. If you make X amount, you pay Y amount. The tax form would consist of two lines and a tax table. Write down your total income, look up the tax, write down that amount, and pay it. Cops would have to live in the neighborhood they patrol. Judges would all be thrown in jail, on the assumption that they're worse than the people they've been judging. Everyone else would still be innocent until proved guilty. Politicians would be banished to an island somewhere, where they could quarrel all they liked and leave the rest of us in peace. There'd be a $1,000-per-barrel tax on oil and similar taxes on all other fossil fuels, with the money used to build an alternative energy infrastructure. Harming a cat would be a capital crime. There'd be no other capital offenses.

    Hey, I'm on a roll here, but I have to run. I have to be at Toyota in less than an hour to get my cruise-control stalk repaired.

    Happy Birthday! :D

    If I was emperor of the world: I'd buy everyone a coke.

    And raining in December? Is it at least cold? I'm still waiting for winter. I've given up on snow, ice, sleet, etc... all I want is some decent cold weather. <_<

    In this case, Daniel, if I was older, or had no husband, or no Prius I would go out with you :)

    1. good morning

    2. schussssssss

    3. Jack Dodge's new avatar looks both more intelligent than me AND as if it can make good coffee.

    4. Spring Training starts in little more than a month.

    5. megalomaniacal

    6. Politician whose bathroom use I'd least liked to have followed: Nixon. Phew.

    7. High school students now dress uniformly horribly, and should all be sent home. Girls with their skintight, low-cut jeans (and fast-food fat) look like overstuffed sausages. Baggy boys look ridiculously the opposite.

    8. oof

    9. Where do all the chicken heads, beaks and feet end up?

    Cat food. Except maybe the feet, which are sometimes served in Chinese restaurants. BTW, I miss your old signature line about cars hating it when we anthropomorphize them.

    Also...

    1. I just figured out how to quote multiple posts.

    2. I have to take my oldest cat (she'll be 11 in a few months) to the vet today. At her last checkup, they took a blood sample which showed an elevated calcium level, which can be a marker for some types of cancer. So the vet wants to do some x-rays.
