    Bad Baby Names

    Another one: My dad used to work with a guy by the name of Art Coward (he just retired a couple of months ago). Now during school, when roll call would be taken, his first initial and full surname would be used. So, he was christened with the nickname "Chicken", due to his being- you guessed it-...

    Any other places to buy used stuff besides ebay?

    Yep, they do. If you're buying from Amazon.ca, I highly recommend a seller by the name of "gamerudy". If he's selling something that you want, buy it. He sets up a table at my local flea market, and all his stuff is top quality (and much of it in the original shrink-wrap). My "Beauty and the...

    The "Thread Killers Organisation", or "TKO"

    Now all I can picture is the penguins in MWoO falling over when Jeffrey Tambor rips off Kermit's head. Ha! I wasn't sure, I guess I need a sarcasm update. Excuse me while I go listen to my collection of "Here's Your Sign" MP3s.

    The "Thread Killers Organisation", or "TKO"

    OK, I've bashed Jean Chretien enough already. For that matter, I'll switch to former Presidents. And former Vice Presidents, while I'm at it. Jokes always play out a lot better with a mention of Dan Quayle, don't they? (Actually, I'm a staunch libertarian. I read a lot of "Bloom County", so...

    The "Thread Killers Organisation", or "TKO"

    I suppose it could be worse. According to my step-uncle James, where he used to live in downtown Portland, Oregon, there were twenty-five Starbucks within a five-block radius of his apartment. And you thought we silly Canadians were addicted to coffee! Oh, I like your beaver idea. Post edit...

    The "Thread Killers Organisation", or "TKO"

    Yes, but what better symbol of Canada is there? You can drive 45 seconds in any direction from my place and find a Tim's.

    The "Thread Killers Organisation", or "TKO"

    Well, we can't let a Canadian out of the TKO presidency, I'll make sure of that! (grabs a Tim Hortons coffee pot and a Canadian flag on a pole) Now back off!

    Muppets Big Brother

    I must increase my artistic ability. Unless I can match Rudolf Nureyev's paintings, I'll never do anything! What? He's a... ballet dancer? Oh well, culture is culture. Let me work on this. ... Oh, Little Brother? Here is an astoundingly cultural and American work of art that well...

    You might be an obsessed Muppet fan if you worry about falling into giant pits of germs and snakes, and then when everyone looks at you strangely, respond "Hey, Boober worries about that, too!"

    I've Come to a Decision...

    Fine by me! I've actually been thinking about re-arranging the forum a little bit to allow for more fan-fics and such. Swing by later today and check it out! -TA

    Fan-Fiction: The Revenge of Elmo

    "Oh, beautiful, beautiful"... It's great, Ryan! It's hard to pick a favorite part, there were a lot of great lines there. Can't wait for Chapter 3, -TA

    Last movie you watched

    Last night I watched "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" for the 50th time. I like the original film so much, I can wait to see the Johnny Depp version. I'm convinced he'll destroy all my good memories of the Wilder film.

    Oh, that's just bad. And I thought the "Gonzo and Camilla" analogy was funny if you used Prince Charles, now it's even funnier...

    Muppets Big Brother

    Yes, and I'm one of them. Obviously, you other three do not mind CUL-ture! Harrumph... Hold on! You, the shrimp- I am not a brown noser! I just have to a-bide by the RULES!

    How's the weather where you are?

    Today, more hot weather. Sweat dripping off me, pretty much sat around and did nothing all day. I've drained four Pepsis so far and will have at least two more with supper (and iced tea later on, and I had three glasses of water earlier there). High: dunno, it was just high. Breakfast...

    Bad Baby Names

    Worst one I've ever heard about is from my aunt. While reading through a book of baby names from the '30s, she came across "Brainard". If you name your child "Brainard", you might as well just put him in therapy right from the beginning,
