2007-08-23 22:03:00 It's all fun and games until someone gets murdered...."...a 45-year-old former marine with a reddish mustache, bulging gut, and disappearing hair ? and decided to become someone else. That person, he wrote on Dynabrade stationery that he stored in his toolbox at work, would be an 18-year-old marine named Tommy. He would be a black belt in karate, with bullet scars on his left shoulder and right leg, thick red hair, and impressive dimensions (6'2", 190 pounds, and a "9" dick"). Emboldened by his new identity, Montgomery logged onto Pogo in the spring of 2005 and met TalHotBlondbig50 ? a 17-year-old from West Virginia, whose name, he later learned, was Jessica."as it turned out...."Back in Buffalo, Kenyon couldn't believe that the Jessi he'd talked to was really her mother. "She was very convincing," he said. "She sounded like an 18-year-old girl to me." He drove to West Virginia to see the truth himself ? that the lithe 18-year-old blonde of Barrett's and Montgomery's fantasies... More About: Games , Fun and Games , Strangeness , Some

2007-08-22 18:50:00 13 of the Worst Fake Accents in Film .It's a pretty good list.Seriously.Keanu's pathetic accent in Dracula ruined the whole movie for me.I've always preferred subtitles to fake accents when people are supposed to be speaking another language...and I really appreciate it when filmmakers use people who can actually speak a language.In the movie Behind Enemy Lines (I'm not linking. Find that shit propaganda by yourself) they used a bunch of low rent Russians as Serbs. But then, no self respecting Serb would have taken any of those roles. More About: Movies

2007-08-17 22:32:00 Staying for Lunch ?"This week the descendants of cannibals in Papua New Guinea issued an apology to the Methodist Church for killing and eating four of its missionaries.The group of four had arrived in PNG in 1875 to spread Christianity... but it seems the locals misunderstood the purpose of the delegation. On a brief visit to some Tolai tribes people on the Gazelle Peninsula in 1878, the four found themselves on the menu of their own reception feast." Read the whole thing here.Why did I find that funny?I guess with the whole reparations thing, and official apologies for all kinds of horrors over the ages flying hither and thither, I find this apology over 4 missionaries over a hundred years ago humourous.Sorry...but, considering what missionaries brought with them wherever they went, eating four of them doesn't seem like such a big deal to me.So sue me.

Not funny.I once had an employee tell me a very private thing.I sat across my desk from her, and she swallowed, and turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.I could see how difficult it was for her to tell me. It was a life altering revelation, and it wasn't a good one for her.I tried...I really did...but when she finished her story and looked to me for a reaction, maybe some advice, a profound word, some sort of thoughts of wisdom...I burst out laughing.I apologized profusely, and told her that I wasn't laughing at her dilemma, but at how absurd life can be, how unfair.How God has a sarcastic sense of humour.Really, I couldn't believe that she thought that I had an answer for her..Have you ever laughed at an inappropriate time?Mary Tyler Moore did in this great episode of "The Funeral of Chuckles The Clo...

2007-08-13 16:40:00 Tako, Tako...Samo Tako...When 2007 champion Nova k Djokovic was introduced at the Rogers Cup presentation ceremonies in Montreal yesterday, the public-address announcer mistakenly introduced him as being from Croatia. "First of all," Djokovic said when he took the microphone, "I'm sure that the gentleman here didn't mean to make a mistake, [but] I'm from Serbia not from Croatia." He diplomatically played down the miscue, saying, "I'm not angry, don't worry, it's the same thing."His saying "it's the same thing" will surely drive a lot of Croats insane...so, tit for tat.Congratulations Novak...samo napred.

2007-08-08 14:07:00 A New Zealand couple is looking to call their newborn son Superman - but only because their chosen name of 4Real has been rejected by the government registry.Yes.These are the people who are blessed with children.His father's name should be "Stuperman".Recalls prompt parents to ask: Is any toy safe?No.Nothing is safe, because a child can kill themselves with a marshmellow, or a paper bag.We need to take all toys away, and make children sit in a corner connected to a virtual life machine so that we can be sure nothing can ever harm them in any way.What's more dangerous is irresponsibly not watching your children, and not teaching your children how to keep themselves safe.And this story about the death of Canadian actor Jacob Adam on Ving Rhames estate is just very peculiar.Was this really an "Accident?"Ok, off I go.

The US comedian Robin Williams once quipped: "How can you trust an army that has a wine opener on its knife?"Does it really make a difference?It's still a Swiss Army Knife .China has been pirating the knife for decades anyway.
