Maybe one of them could have told Britney's sister about birth control. I mean, DUH. What a fucked up family this is.

I'll bet the Donner Pass area is 'challenging' today ! Closed, most likely.

They look like Americans to me... MG You'd be surprised, MG. I can spot an Asian tourist from a mile off....Eastern Europeans, too. Brits tend to blend in more as do the Aussies. French and Germans tend to be a mixed bag. East Coast visitors, well, let's just say we Native Californians got them figured out, too. The shorts with black socks and loafers are the give away

That's a danger around here whenever it rains. Many local drivers are complete morons who drive exactly the same in wet conditions as they do in dry. It never fails to amaze me. Which is why when I visit SF, I take the Muni or BART to get around town. The 280 is a nice way to get back home, too: Fewer idiot drivers.

Britney Spears Hospitalized What....again?

But they have earthquakes and volcanoes out there. Isn't there anywhere in America where there aren't disasters waiting to happen (hurricanes etc) or horrid weather in the winter? MG Volcanoes....um...? I don't think volcanoes are a major concern in the Western U.S. in general, but MG is correct. In addition to volcanoes in Hawaii and Alaska, there are volcanoes in Washington down into California. Excerpts from this U.S.G.S. site: ...Few places on Earth allow closer or more dramatic views of volcanic activity than Mauna Loa and Kilauea volcanoes on the island of Hawaii. Their frequent but usually nonexplosive eruptions make them ideal for scientific study. ...Volcanoes of the Cascade Range erupt far less frequently than Kilauea and Mauna Loa, but they are more dangerous because of their violently explosive behavior and their proximity to populated and cultivated areas in Washington, Oregon, and California. ...Recent violent eruptions have demonstrated that volcanic hazards do exist in some areas of Alaska, even though it is sparsely populated. Alaskan volcanoes have produced one or two eruptions per year since 1900. Mount St. Helens in Oregon's Cascades blew it's top 28 years ago. In California, there is some seismic activity attributed to Mammoth Mountain in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. They figure it might become active in, oh....a thousand years, give or take a week or two. I'm fairly certain I'm safe The yearly Plague of Tourists, OTOH, has been known to wreck pure havoc on this state.

Goody, that's a student. Well, OK then. "G" also stands for Girl. And the only harem I'm allowed is the various assortment of female Jazz singers I have in my CD/vinyl collection. Besides, the school district might take exception to having the real kind. sheesh

Excuse? Hm. So...all ballplayers who are accused must be guilty. M'kay.

Flurin, Add my condolences among the well wishers here....I am so very sorry for your loss. Cats are wonderful creatures. It has been my experience that the love they give us is often more precious than what we might receive from humans. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Tim

Hey now. Teachers don't dress like that. Trust me.

But they have earthquakes and volcanoes out there. Isn't there anywhere in America where there aren't disasters waiting to happen (hurricanes etc) or horrid weather in the winter? MG Volcanoes....um...? Tell you what: I'll take my rare 7.6 earthquake, see your tornadoes and raise you ice storms, hail storms, plague of locust, stiffling humidity, New Yorkers or whatever the hell else you guys got going back there. A little Earth movement is good for the Soul. Rock on

My Uncle in Madison says the same thing

Oooo. Bad image.

The owner's wife told me to go....she stood about 4' 10" and told me in broken English, "You go now !" I figured I could take her, but the cooks were staring at me, too. They were a bit larger than she was. Think middle linebacker. Back then I was only eating one meal a day and at 6' 2" I could hide behind flagpoles. I left.

You know....these future "experts" also told us back in the 60s that there would be no more cars and we'd all be flying around in rocket propelled spacecrafts of one form or another. That didn't happen either.

In my Neck o'the Woods it's cloudy [big storm coming] and in the low 40s. Gotta get those Christmas lights down before this afternoon.....

My MIL lives in Concord, NC and said the cold reminds her why she moved from Connecticut. My Aunt in Madison, WI said it got way up to 15 degrees yesterday.....could be worse, MoGrubb

Cool. Rain tomorrow...or so we are told.

Never been banned....but I was asked to leave once. Back when I didn't have two nickels to rub together, I used to arrive early then leave late at a local Mongolian BBQ-all you can eat establishment.

No guarantees the Cowboys will get to the NFC title game for sure. Especially with how they've played the last 3-4 games. But, if you actually watched the Packers/Cowboys game, you'll know that Favre played terribly while he was in, and the Packers only responded and turned it into a game after he left with his injury. Rodgers played exceptionally well for someone with as little playing time as he had. Case of rallying around the backup or something. Favre played terribly in large part because the Packers (for heaven knows what reason) strayed from what had been working for them all year offensively and continually tried to go deep against the Cowboys. Collinsworth noted as much. Once Brett got hurt, Aaron Rodgers came in and the Packers returned to what had been working so well all season: 4 and 5 wide receiver sets utilizing short, quick, slant routes. Before that game was played, I firmly believed that anything other than a blowout would provide little insight as to how a playoff meeting between the Packers and Cowboys might play out. The Packers were driving and down by less than a touchdown in the fourth quarter before eventually losing by 10 points. And, yes, injuries are part of the game, but the Packers were without two key defensive starters (KGB and Woodson, who, despite the accolades given to Harris, is THE lockdown corner for the Pack) as well as a promising young safety who could be starting in Aaron Rouse. Still, I have to admit that Brett's 0-9 (?) record against the Cowboys in Texas is more than a little troubling. Perhaps, though, it only means that Brett will lead the Packers over the Cowboys should the teams meet in the NFC Championship. Neither team should be looking past the next round, however. I remember the Niners had the same run of bad luck against the Ca'boyz....until "The Catch". I'm not worried

I gotta gal truck in Kalamazoo.

Assuming, of course, Bonds lied under oath.
