§ - Recipe - Etherian's Yummy Chicken
§ - For Red Green and Ed Frid - After Attack by Grizzly, Duct Tape Does the Job
§ - Two wrongs... - Man Steals ID of Sex Offender
§ - A product review by an actual consumer - Lies, Lies, Lies...
§ - Monkey Loose Inside Parliament - "Dozens of workers, including security officers, had been unable to catch the primate, which was inside a medical clinic on the eighth-floor of a parliamentary office tower."
§ - Duh! - All Segway Scooters Are Recalled - "The Consumer Product Safety Commission said riders could fall if the machine's batteries lose power." - Let's see... When the batteries are going dead in my flashlight, the light gets dim. When the batteries are going dead in my radio, I can only listen to AM stations. When the batteries are going dead in my calculator, I start getting wrong answers. So if the Segway runs on batteries, what the heck would I expect? Or maybe I should protest because my flashlights and radios and calculators don't have warning labels on them!!! - "The problem that exists is basically like having to print, 'Caution, coffee is hot' on a coffee cup."
§ - I'm watching... - Troop Beverly Hills - This movie is FUN! Great for those days when you need to shake a gloomy mood. Sure, the storyline is totally predictable—the good guys gals win and everybody's life is so much better at the end, except for the villainess, who gets her comeuppance, of course—but isn't that exactly what you want on those days when Real Life sucks?
§ - Easy Entertaining for the Unexpected Guest - "Have a place in your home set aside for the unexpected visitor. A living room is ideal since it is a place that is usually not in use by most families on a daily basis." - Uh... Who does this author hang out with? Almost nobody I know has a separate family room. In my home, the living room is indeed where we do our "living." My kitchen is too small to have the table in there, so the living room is also where we do our eating. I have no intention of staying in the bedroom all day just to keep the living room tidy for company!
