Halle Berry has split personalities......I watched "Perfect Stranger" last night and it was AWFUL and she seriously needs to attend Overactors Ananimous. She also has made some SERIOUS dogs....Can you say "Catwoman?" But yet, this is the same woman that did such a great job in "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge" and "Monster's Ball." I know all actors make good movies and bad movies, but what is strange about her is that she does such a good acting job in some movies but is sooooooooo bad in others. It's just plain weird! Ok, there's my random musing for the morning!
America is an idea, but it's an idea that brings with it some baggage, like power brings responsibility. It's an idea that brings with it equality, but equality even though it's the highest calling, is the hardest to reach. The idea that anything is possible, that's one of the reasons why I'm a fan of America. - Bono, Commencement University of Pennsylvania May 17, 2004

Why is it called "Customer Service" when they're not customers and offer no services?
Who came up with "dead as a doornail"? Wouldn't a coffin nail be a much deader piece of ironmongery? (Remember, coffin nails have been around longer than cigarettes, so that nickname is relatively recent; it doesn't influence the thought here).
How come in the movies a man will take a beating in a bar fight and not emit the slightest whimper, but as soon as a woman pats a scrape with a damp handkerchief he'll whine and grimace?
Why do magazines always come out a month before their purported publishing date (e.g. the March issue in early February)?
I've read it through three times and gone over it with a fine-toothed comb: nowhere in the novel does the Count of Monte Cristo eat the sandwich named after him....

So, I got to thinking after the posts in the Stop & Search thread..
I'm pretty sure I am a living urban legend in my neighborhood. I can only imagine the things that get said about me.
"Don't go near that apartment. I opened the door on accident thinking it was your apartment, and she was standing there with a sword."
"Don't go near that apartment. They have a wolf." "I heard it was a fox." "I dunno, but it's MEAN."
"She has Satanic symbols on her door and keeps black cats!"
(This is all true, btw, but the pentacles and pentagrams were there when we moved in. I just thought it was funny and never did anything to remove them.)
"She goes walking around with the skunks in the middle of the night, and talks to them. I think she's crazy."

Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch beats the piss out of General Mills Reese's Puffs.
Reese's Puffs taste like Cocoa Puffs and....a mistake.

Someone must have the answer to this:
Why is it that pizza (and some other foods) gets hard as a BRICK after it cools off from being microwaved?
TD Fanatic
That's a damn fine question. It does happen, though.
It really does it to Papa John's crust.
Maybe it zaps the moisture away?

I think the nuking overcooks the starch in them, turning it from a pliable gel into a burnt solid.
Ever iron an over-starched shirt and end up burning it? It's the same principle at work... only the shirt costs a lot more to replace.
I think reheating in a pan or a conventional/toaster oven doesn't do it because it takes longer for the starch to burn, plus it works from the outside in.

It makes sense that it has something to do with starch, because if you try to bake potatoes in the microwave, if you don't consume them within seconds after pulling them out, they start to get hard as they cool.
It's weird though, because the food itself isn't burnt. It just gets hard.

Ok here is one that I've always wondered about:
Why is it that no matter what time of the day you sit down to eat a meal the phone rings? Is Big Brother behind it?
That is just one thing that has always annoyed and baffled me.

Yes we have caller ID but what does that matter. My point was that it isn't anyone specific that's calling just that no matter when I sit down for a meal the phone rings. It's just creepy sometimes.
No I haven't see 867-5309 come up on the caller ID.

Marketing calls from 867-5309 hit the area over weekend
By ERIC RUTH, The News Journal
Posted Tuesday, March 11, 2008

If your phone rang at 3:30 Sunday morning, and through bleary eyes you saw the musically evocative number 867-5309 on the caller ID, don't feel bad about ignoring it and going back to sleep.
It wasn't "Jenny" calling. And yes, your distraught feelings over the predawn telemarketing intrusion are understandable. They're certainly not unique.
An undetermined number of people in Delaware -- and possibly elsewhere -- were roused from slumber over the weekend by the recorded mortgage-refinancing marketing call, causing momentary panic over loved ones' safety, an untold number of afternoon yawns and some questions about the usefulness of both caller ID and the national Do Not Call Registry.
"After I jumped out of bed to answer the phone, thinking something was wrong with a family member, I answered the phone to hear a recording about my mortgage rates being lowered," Lindsey Vitalo of the Pike Creek area said of Sunday's 4:20 a.m. call. "It scared the living daylights out of me."
"I had thoughts of calling the police, but I didn't know what they could do," said Bear resident Bob Ruck, who naturally feared bad news when his phone rang at 5:19 a.m. Saturday.
Still, it all probably could be tossed aside as another unremarkable case of 21st century buffoonery if it had not been the significance of the number itself. Take away the Delaware area code, and victims of cheesy 1980s pop music will recognize these digits as the insidiously chirpy "867-5309/Jenny" song, a chart-climber by the band Tommy Tutone, an act that hasn't had another hit in the 26 years since.
They're probably wise to stay under the has-been radar, at least in Delaware.
"Damn you, Tommy Tutone!" groused one participant in an online "complaint board" that works to expose and shame such telemarketing calls. It won't do any good to call the number back and offer helpful advice on what to do with their 3 a.m. sales calls since there is no "867" exchange in Delaware, and the number appears to have been generated by caller-ID trickery known as "spoofing."
Spoofing software allows the user to change the originating number for a call. There are legitimate reasons to do so -- police use spoofing as an aid in investigations, and it allows businesses to identify themselves properly on calls that are placed outside the company's main system. Other "spoof" calls seem less legitimate -- bail bondsmen, collection agencies and unscrupulous telemarketers who use the software to change their numbers to ones that you might be more likely to answer.
Efforts to punish systematic spoofers are under way in Congress.
Wilmington resident Jill Agro recognized the song title immediately when her husband checked caller ID on their ringing home phone at 11 p.m. Saturday. "My husband said '867-5309.' He didn't recognize it. I said, 'That's a song,' " she said. "He picked it up, and the line was dead."

We sell bully sticks in the store. Bully sticks are dried bull penises. Dogs like to chew on them.
They come in the "raw" form - the original unadulterated length (which is about 2 and a half feet long), and in a bunch of other forms, too. Chopped into 12 inch, 6 inch, 4 inch and 2 inch bits for different sized dogs (or budgets), and also twisted, and braided. The braided varieties come in different lengths, too, and also in a circular "wreath" type thing.
Now.. what I want to know is this.. Somewhere, there is someone who braids and twists bull penises into these shapes.
What do these people say when someone asks what they do?
"I braid bull penises."
Or maybe they just leave it at.. "I work in a factory that makes dog treats."
