Well, I wanted to see Chilly Willy in the game but he's not on the list. ~ My next choice is the Macaroni (and cheese) Penguin. Who could resist a face like this?

What do you call an imp on crutches? "Gimp!" How about an imp who runs away when you look at him? "Wimp!" An imp who eats bananas? "Chimp!" How about an imp hanging on the wall by a nail? "Art."

Conavar, I beleive it should. Worldwide. Every individual on earth should have some value, and as a person with an illness effects those close by, those people should recieve treatment as well. Whatever treatment is needed. In the U.S. we seem to be going overboard with some of these ideals.... no smoking anywhere, at all, ever, at least in many cities. This is all political..... they let folks drink like fish, possibly so they can be arrested, incarcerated and thus profitized. That's a looong story! But still there is no treatment for the addiction. I have dear friend who worked for a big pharmaceutical company and drank himself into the company program. This was a fancy private hospital in the country with tennis, golf, and numerous fun distractions. I stood in as proxy for his family and got to visit weekly. There was family therapy, treatment, weekend events, great food, you name it! This, of course, was all private company insurance, and it cost neither him nor myself a single GP. It was decadent, disgusting, and didn't work.... proper treatment for all people involved in alcoholism should be local, low key, inexpesive for governments, and free to all affected by the problem. No shame, no blame, just help on a local level. Just a hope.....

Farenheit 451? Three men and a Zippo?

Congratulations!

I know it's a lame suggestion, but if you have an extra machine and phone line you could plug in that way. I'm having reasonable results with a 56k dial-up connection. Free no-support ISP to boot! Sort of like using duct tape when you break a shoelace......

Whew! Lucky guess!! I never saw it, just knew it was a movie about gnomes! This one's probably eeeezzy! BTW, where do you guys get all those great stills? It took me all morning to find anything reasonable!

Amy Goodman Democracy Now 5/5

Would that be Topsy Turvy?

Yup. It's the American Way! This was a popular poster during the Vietnam war: "Join the Army. Visit strange and exotic places. Meet fascinating people. And kill them." It must be the reason George W. Bush wants to send manned missions to Mars, there are a few still left alive!

I want dibs when the 'Tickle Me Happy G' doll comes out! Break a leg!

Conavar, come to New York! And I don't mean the city itself.... I'm 40 miles away and can boast at least 20 different ethnic grocery stores in the area. All with fresher food than the plastic spew they offer at EatMore. To be honest, you may have to screw yer neck widdershins 3 points of a degree, but the understanding will come. The future is a world on a planet, not a country in a fog. Remember way back when yer great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandma got het up with a grand Viking warrior? The results are the same as yer sweet 16 daughter falling in love with a Pacific Islander.... dude, you get dibs on retirement property........ I am typing tongue in cheek, but it's important to me that human vs. human results in nothing worse than more humans,,,

Me and anybodys god have some serious bones to pick, but I was shown something as a child that is easy to practice and simple to pull off..... Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Would I have others hang me? Would I hang them? As far as criminal acts, stop them and learn how to avoid them. Remember little boys playing army in the yard? "Oh yeah? If you kill me, I'll kill you!!" Logic, as well as compassion are learned over the years, at least by most of us. The rest need some gentle coaching how to treat each other, not blind commitment to follow people! Hopefully someday the thought of killing another human being will be sickening to all of us. So.... meanwhile.... how many virgins ya think he got?

This is great to read from the point of view of a Yankee! Um, an old post-war Eisenhower kind of Yankee..... In one sense, I am glad to see Eastern Europe and Western Europe sharing positive economics. I used to share work with some Estonian friends and they were happy when Estonia joined. I would like to see someday the EU overwhelm the US as a world influence. It might finish off the idiots like George Bush that think they control earth, god, etc..... It looks like there is a lot of internal animosity between Eastern and Western Europe as well as within each group and each country as well. In the US our states can argue ideals the same way, but just being the US they can't seperate from each other. It didn't work in the 1860's and wouldn't be worth the losses now. I just hope Europe could be one collective of countries, with certain basic laws shared to make the obvious problems more simple while still retaining nationalities as individuals.... I wish you all luck, and most importantly, PEACE!!

I agree with that statement one hundred percent! Hopefully it is meant to be equally applied to Ms. Deepika Prasadhi Jayasuriya and Freddie the Peeper, and Leslie Lynch King and Ralphie the Hungry Hamster. In other words, a dead president deserves no more tribute than a dead friend, or even enemy. Do not we all find ourselves flopping about in the same underworld with all our goodies lost?

A dude most foul!! Go wash yer mouth out with sulphur...... Okay, so there's this beaver, see? He's got this problem with his tail, every time he smacks it on the ground it hurts like all get out.... So the beav goes to the Wraith, the smartest dude in Draia, to find a cure. The beaver tells the Wraith: "Help me! My tail hurts when I do this..." The Wraith says: "So, don't do that!"

Hope it's okay to horn in here, looks like the thread is about to fall off the page and it's a really good one! This is the very last movie I saw in the theater, I loved it! Not long after, they closed down this independent movie house due to the MondoMegaPlex at the vast new shopping mall. I don't go to that mall....... too jumpy, too dangerous.... could be snakes falling from the sky... too many snipers after my lawyer. No hope, must escape! Grab the girl! Get out! I don't care, any girl!!.......

Did I miss the funny part or am I really, like, 50 years old....? Did I miss the funny part or am I really, like, 50 years old....?

Did that say Wikki or Dikki? Reminds me waaaay so much of the National Lampoon of the 1970's (yeah, yeah, shutup) where to be spoofed was a high honor! Here's another UnNews article that tickled me! UnNews:James Brown's body mistakenly switched for Gerald Ford's at Apollo Viewing Dayum, Mister Tea! Diddit agin!!

Lot's of men in red in the game, tho' Ka-dang! I got it after all!! So.... Who washes all the clothes for the NPC's? La Sud, who else?

Would they be so brave as to try such foolishness were it not No-Drop Day?

It's buffling.... it's buffling...... hmm, do I recognize the voice from another vid of kid going downhill? Ar Har! Got it!! Yah, funny for me.... after all, you are mad at the camera, damn thing made you do that numerous times without spectacular result! Suggestion: give camera to babe on couch, she looks like she needs something to do.... Do NOT take up jet piloting..... Merrry Chrrstmas!!

Any screenies for us dial-uppers? Apparently I pulled a stunt in my first red wagon around the age of 2 or 3, Pop still reminds me about it and he's 83! Our house in San Francisco was once a warehouse and had a door on street level with a concrete ramp into the basement for rolling gnome wine barrels into the lower level. Good for rolling things like wagons down too...... wish I had movies of that!

Sorry to see such a short thread on such an important subject, but then I'm on Public Assistance and Food Stamps myself. The result of not having health insurance in the US. I do my giving and sharing locally, an old friend picks me up and we go help a local organization make meals for the elderly and homeless. I'm also trying to get the growing local population of rich folk to donate old computers and related equipment to organizations like libraries, social clubs, etc. for the not-so rich folk. Somehow we will find a way to get free internet for every household everywhere! 20 miles from NYC, the wealthiest community in the US and we have families who can't afford telephones..... just phone cards once a month. I feel fortunate to be able to share my landlords phone for the net and a free ISP on dial-up. Meanwhile, out in the street there's a fiber optic cable..... should be a given thing for every human being by now. Not that they would all log into EL! For the education, regular information, and enconomical benefit equally and mutually for all. Dream on, right? OK, so ya can't wake me up, ever! I'll still believe in humanity, and we will fix it all for good, if my name ain't Pollyanna.... um, I mean....

Maybe it's an ex-partridge... (Seven Gargoyles garglin')
