actually the thing about the kneecaps is partially true. infants are born with a patella, but it is made of cartilaginous material. it ossifies later in life, so won’t show up on an x-ray until then. so technically it’s like they don’t have them in the usual sense of a kneecap, until they do ossify.

Now come on. We all like the interweb and stuff but if you have actually worn a groove in your mouse button from use, maybe you should get a bike instead of a new mouse?

Eck. And I though Logitech mice were practically indestructable…

My current Logitech Pilot Mouse Optical (like yours but a more boring colour) managed to outlive the PC it was bought for. That said, I think they’re only $30 US so replacing it shouldn’t be difficult. You’ll just have to suffer gaming withdrawal symptons for a day or two .

Must be me too then Les, I must admit to being a lurker lately, just can’t seem to motivate myself to comment.

It’s still a great site though!!!

Sounds like you may have a problem with your browser. I just tried downloading the game from the links I have in this entry and it still downloads just fine. Not sure what to tell you.

BTW, thanks for the kind comments everyone. Rest assured that I won’t keep doing this if it turns into a chore. I was just feeling a little bad because I’ve wanted to put up new stuff lately, but just couldn’t seem to get anything out worth posting.

Well, I’d start by learning how to type. Capitalization and punctuation would be nice as well. A good dictionary would help. Then move onto a good primer on HTML. There’s nothing I do here that you couldn’t do as well. It’s not about talent, it’s about investing the time to do it right. I realize English isn’t your first language so some of the sentence structure is understandable, but the format isn’t.

As for your son’s case being discrimination, sorry, I just don’t buy it. Do I think a judge would waste 9 days before throwing the case out if it didn’t have some merit? Well, yeah, I would. I’ve known judges to waste time on a number of different cases without merit before deciding to throw them out.

I am in such a movie void.

I think I want to see Elf, because it looks funny and Looney Tunes, to get me a little Brendan Action.

Other than that, I just watched Fifth Element on video and I LOVED it.

I’ve been having trouble downloading Elf Bowling 3, everytime I try to download it from any site, it says that the site can’t be found, if anyone could get in touch and let me know of a site where I can get it or maybe even send it to me, I’d appreciate it greatly, thanks so much!

thank you Marius. LES, this whole story from day one has nothing to do with a trophy. it is a case of discrimination.Do you know whats the meaning of that word ?
For ever these type of request to court have always been thrown out by justice on the spot. For the first time a judge took “9” days before taking the decision to not carry the case to court.
DO YOU THINK THE JUDGE WASTED 9 DAYS OF WORK BECAUSE OF A TROPHY ???
What has been said in the medias is far from the reality… i only hope that you will keep on tracking this story all the way to the supreme court, if not settle before.
At that time, you may have a few other good topics to offer to your viewers.
Last update => Press conference september 3, 2003.

At this moment it is under investigation at the provincial humans right commission, and it will keep on.
Sometimes you have to accept to look like an idiot to get things change. i may tell you that Everything since day one up to today has unfold exactly like planned.

Since the Patriot Act is 342 pages of legal gibberish, I pulled up a synopsis on the Civil Disobedience web site.  They say:

The USA PATRIOT Act (“Patriot Act,“ “USAPA”) affects several civil liberties and many of the rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. The right to privacy, the First Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, Seventh Amendment, and the Eighth Amendment are specifically violated. Arguments could be made for more as well

• Can someone show me where there is a “Right to Privacy” guaranteed in the Constitution? 
• I don’t understand how freedom of religion, speech, or the right to assemble are affected by the Patriot Act.  How are they affected?
• I can see some 4th Amendment issues (unreasonable searches and seizures)
• The 7th Amendment starts with these words:
  In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved…What does this have to do with our current situation?
• There definitely could be excessive bail/cruel and unusual punishment issues

Interesting how they didn’t cite the 5th Amendment which reads:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury,

except

in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service

in time of war or public danger

Does 3,000 people being killed and billions of dollars in economic loss count as public danger?

Nearly every time I drove through Louisiana on I-12 between Slidell and Baton Rogue, I or one of the guys I travel with, were pulled by the cops.  Most of the times it was for bogus reasons.  Their intent, I assume, was to catch drug runners.  I don’t too much care for being pulled over, but if it helps catch those jerks I can live with it.

My fatwah is…suck it up…I don’t see anything much to worry about (unless you’re Al Qaeda) 

I’ve been teaching myself HTMLthis week, so I wanted to try it out here

 

Gives her usual wry smile at the mention of Dr Who…ah yes the franchise aint dead yet…the rumor is that a new series will begin production in 2005…check out the livejournal.com dr who pages for all the news links

Because it’s on my Christmas Wish List and I’m hoping that someone loves me enough to buy it for me.

Does anyone have any stories about how the Patriot Act has personally infringed on their liberty?  Does anyone know anyone whose rights have been infringed upon?  In past wars industries were nationalized, consumer goods were rationed, and people had to give up some of their freedoms.  I’ve not heard of anyone (other than some assholes in Guantanamo) whose liberties have been infringed upon.

I lived and worked on military bases for many years.  When you enter a military installation, there is a sign that says they are allowed to search you and your vehicle AT ANY TIME while you’re on the installation.  That’s so no bad guys sneak on and do bad things.  Well though it’s difficult to comprehend for some people, we are at war NOW! 

I’ve heard many conflicting things about this stinking Patriot Act, so I guess I’ll read it and see for myself.  Stand by for issuance of my fatwah. 

Les, Why aren’t you playing Call of Duty. It kicks ass!

I agree with Leigh here, don’t apologize for anything Les!  If anything it’s the rest of us who need to be thanking you for giving us things to think, laugh, and talk about, and allowing us to post our ideas on this site.  So THANK YOU!!!  I, at least, am enjoying and appreciating all your efforts.  Besides, this gives us newbies a chance to catch up on all the past action :D

Great stories and content - thanks…
Medal of Honor is a good excuse. I played the first, second-Underground, Medal of Honor Front Line, and am looking forward to Rising Sun… These games consume you since they are so much fun to play - who needs a life anyway? Live and Veg in virtual reality.

Bless Ann Coulter, maybe she just needs to get out more. Does anyone know the economic effects of McCarthyism in the USA? Economics in Hollywood? nice one!

Kyle, if you’re referring to TSO’s rendition of Carol of the Bells that Les mentions at the start of this post, it’s on their Christmas Eve And Other Stories album, which Les has linked to.  It’s Track #8 on that CD, Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24).

For any one else that might care, I highly recommend you see TSO live in concert, if you ever have that opportunity.  Their CD’s are among the best I own, yet they are junk compared to the live performance.  You don’t get the full experience of the “rock opera” until you’ve seen it complete with the narration, the light show, the actions of the performers, and everything else that goes with it.  The producers make sure to choose high caliber musicians to support the original group members, people who really understand the music and can express that understanding to you.  And I don’t know if they do this everywhere, but at our venue last year the entire group stayed afterwards to sign autographs for everyone who wanted them.

For being a story highly based in religion, I find that the message in TSO’s works extends above and beyond religion, and are true without it.  Maybe the writers just decided to go with a theme most people would at least be familiar with, I don’t know.  You just have to have the ears and the heart to “listen” to what they’re really saying, beyond the words.  Anyway, even being someone who really doesn’t care much for “religion” right now, I still love these albums and really believe in the simple truths they convey.

In fact I’m listening to them right now, in preparation for the concert on Saturday!  Last year’s was amazing, I was in awe for over two months, and this year I’m looking forward to savoring every moment!

Yeah, I was just kiddin about the hacking idea. Les isn’t a hacker (that I know of).

Truth be told, the only way to counter bad information is to offer facts and include a link to the fallacies so everyone can see the twisted intentions of the liars. Christianity has always been about fooling (and therefore controlling) as many people as possible. I don’t think that will ever change.

“At six I was left an orphan.  What the hell is a six year old supposed to do with an orphan?“

I think it would be good if you did offer your suggestions to the KCM site and send them a link to Mr. Bethancourt’s essay also, but if you hack their site, you will just be lending credence to the belief that people who don’t agree with them will go to extreme and illegal measures to get their point across.  That wouldn’t be good for any of us. Thank you for the good insight.

It’s stupid, impulsive decisions like this that cause the public to generalize law enforcement as a bunch of abusive, power-hungry pigs.

Then again, what about the people running our government?  George Orwell must be rolling in his grave.

If I hear another Mcfucking Mc-prefix, I’m gonna fucking Mcstab myself!!!

AARRRGHGHGHGHGHGH!!!!

*note:  those stupid friggin McGriddles commercials affect me in the same manner.

Master and Commander:The Far Side of the World opens tomorrow. For some reason, Fox delayed the opening, so I have been waiting for this since June.

The movie is based on Far Side of the World, one of the Aubry-Maturin novels by Patrick O’brian. One reviewer described O’brian’s series of 20 novels as Harry Potter for adults.

I was wondering if neone knew if the carol of the bells version is on a cd could u plz post, thx

I love Shrek.   I’m looking forward to seeing Shrek 2!

will it have a program guide like sky plus+ as medea center xp does and i hate video plus

Hey, I’m not as prolific as often as I’ve been. Being out of work has made me busier than ever, which I didn’t expect…

Sorry about that AC.

As a matter of fact, Pope Pius XII (“Hitler’s Pope”) sent birthday cards to Hitler every year until his death. That is, until the Archbispop of Berlin issued a statement officially mourning Hitler’s death. Do YOU have a birthday card from the Pope? Careful not to get blood on your hands.

Um, Catholic Church 1, Jews 0…but only if you’re scoring on the side of Hitler.

Pope Pius XII, the Pope of the WWII era, is widely known for his complicity while Hitler slaughtered 6 million Jews, and his failure in a stance to combat the Nazi murder machine. The church signed a deal with the devil, in keeping with it’s own goals of power and domination.

The Vatican continues to keep mute on its Holocaust involvement for a painful reason. Its silence was not due to the moral lapses of individual Catholics, or that the church was ignorant of, or duped by, Hitler’s aims. It was a deliberate policy of appeasement crafted by church leaders. Before he ascended to the papacy in 1939, Pius XII was the Vatican’s ambassador to Germany and secretary of state during the crucial period when Hitler rose to power, and knew full well what Hitler was up to.

In his well-documented work, “Hitler’s Pope: the Secret History of Pius XII.“ John Cornwell, Jesus College, Cambridge University professor notes that the Vatican signed its ill-famed concordat with Hitler in 1933 to prevent him from grabbing church property and meddling in church affairs. In return the Vatican pledged the absolute obedience of Germany’s Catholic priests and bishops to Hitler. As Pope, Pius XII sent a letter praising “the illustrious Hitler,“ and expressing confidence in his leadership.

Seems Pope Pius XII all but sucked Hitler’s dick.

This is just one of the first reasons I began to hate the Catholic Church, or more accurately, the Papacy….then they gave me so many more. So many choices, so little time.

Oh no, now my feelings are hurt. I suppose looking like a weasel is still better than the jackass you look like.

I find it amusing that you don’t realize that Hitler was a Catholic in good standing as far as the Vatican was concerned.

As for the score, I’d say the Catholic church is probably responsible for way more deaths than the mere 1 you ascribe to it. Whereas this site has, indeed, failed to score a single death so far.

I can’t believe how similar your face looks to that of the animal called the “weasel” Described
by Webster as “bloodthirsty” and/or “deliberately
misleading” This is the same hate message Hitler
proclaimed and we all know what happened to him !

Final score ..Catholic Church 1….This site 0

Oh, just to clear one thing up, I’m “Connie”... I had to use my mothers email. You can see some of the video shot from hallway cameras at newsites. Weapons weren’t needed to be drawn, but the sudden police presense and run of dogs was a brilliant idea… but the major flaw was definately that no arrests were made.
I did read that the Principal had suspisions of activities involving drugs, including video tapes of “hand-offs”. Also, he said his “informants” (prolly concerned students) told him the dealers were probably armed. All facts will have to be revealed before final judgement can be made, but something tells me the principal was exaggerating the actual problem abit, but whether he did or didn’t one thing is for sure… he best start looking for a new job. Maybe something in the Department of Corrections. (Although public school systems really aren’t much different then Minimum Security Facilities)

Maybe it’s SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)...Winter Blues.

I know after the time change, the cool weather, and Halloween, I have to fight the funk very very hard. Add a little stress (gee, like a car wreck) and it would be even harder to fight.

I don’t fully feel like myself again until April.

Going door to door is much more difficult and time consuming. I don’t really see it making a comeback and even nearing the level of aggravation that telemarketing has reached.

I’ll take my chances with the DNC list. But just in case, I’ll have my “no soliciting, this means you” door sign ready.

I don’t know about VoIP.  Isn’t the POTS about 99.9999999% reliable?  I do not recall the last time I picked up a phone and couldn’t get a connection.  My Internet connection sure is hell isn’t very reliable.  I’d hate to have to make an emergency call and Cox Cable is down.

I understand completely, but don’t worry, I plan to keep checking in on you.

I currently live in Charleston and believe me it is a big deal. Weapons did not need to be drawn and even if drugs were sniffed out in student’s backpacks it would be legal to search them then and there. None were! It has been reported over and over that no drugs were found.

This is a disturbing incident and serves to illustrate the attitudes of some of those in law enforcement in post 9/11 USA. It was a show of force and control only, that the principle felt he wanted to instigate. It sounds too convenient to cite the K-9 unit’s dogs findings, while having no bust to show for it. We can’t ask the dogs if their masters are telling the truth.

Les am I right in suspecting that your disinterest in drugs in high school may have been affected by your religious beliefs at the time? Could you have been percieved as a “goody goody”?
Just curious, and asking for the hell of it. I wasn’t so good myself.

Well now that they can not call us to sell us.  Guess what back to door to door sales.  Oh Gosh thanks Bush now instead of just hanging up I got to slam the door in thier face.  Boy that made things better HUH!!!

*You must check out* I imagine he will be selling a CD soon. Just to be fair, there are plenty of patriotic, religious and generally bad recordings out there already. If you want to be sickened, embarrassed or tickled beyond belief check out the 365 Days list of infamous recordings, which I’ve been meaning to pass on for a while now.
365 Days Project

William Shatner’s “Rocket Man” is there, as is an offering by Jodie Foster, just to name a couple.

You’ll also find Paul Harvey, Richard “survey says” Dawson, Dick Clark, Orson Welles “Get me a jury and show me how you can say in July and I’ll go down on you”, and a piece called “Religion for Retarded - Lessons 13 and 14”.

This site is amazing for allowing bad material to be so much fun to listen to, and the wealth of offerings is unequaled anywhere else that I know of. One of the scariest pieces is probably “Jesus Put the Stars in the Sky” by Lil’ Markie who is also responsible for the ridiculous but oh so serious “Diary of an Unborn Child”

When you have your next get together and play a few of these classic recordings to both amuse and disgust your friends, don’t forget to thank me…or curse me, whichever may apply.

Les, I can certainly relate to what you’re saying; I, too, have been having the same blah feelings and inability to focus.  One thing to remember, though, is that the fastest, most sure-fire way to becoming burned-out with blogging is to take on the role of “entertainer”.  This is your blog and you are entitled to write about whatever you want to, or don’t want to. Do it for yourself.  If you do that, then it becomes something you enjoy and look forward to, not something you dread or feel pressured to do.  I guarantee ya’ that we’ll all still come around.

Take care.

I’ve been using Vonage’s svc. for almost 4 months now and am extremely happy with the service (it kicks butt compared to the ridiculoulness of toll charges incurred by using the local carrier).  The only complaint is on the QoS end when someone (namely me) is uploading or downloading some very large file.  Voice tends to get choppy or goes out at that point.  I’ll put up with the limitations, however, due to the other positives relating to flexibility (I can forward calls to any number within my area code for free, etc.)...  I just hope the gov. continues to treat the calls as data.  It is assinine to consider it anything but from the technical side of things…

Are Fundamentalist Christians and Evangelical Christians planing to insert their beliefs into our government?  THE ANSWER IS YES!!!  The so called Conservative, for example Rush and David Limbaugh, George W. Bush, John Ashcroft, Bill Frist, Tom DeLay, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Roy Moore, Ann Coulter, and tens of thousands religious fanatics, are the American Taliban who would replace the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA with the Decalogue (Ten Commandments). We are losing the fight!!!
