Cultures & Groups - 11 October 2007

I was just thinking about how many magazine articles, books, movies, and television shows, even television channels that we have dedicated to the lives of celebrities. I find this absolutely ridiculous and I was just wondering if other countries are also obsessed with the lives of their celebrities.

your car takes another route, and you realize you are going the wrong way to get to that destination! It is usually a route you take often so it becomes automatic. I hate when I do that.

Pirate Wind

The autumn wind's a pirate,
Blustering in from sea;
With a rollicking song, he sweeps along,
Swaggering boist'rously.

His skin is weather-beaten;
He wears a yellow sash,
With a handkerchief red about his head.
And a bristling black mustache.

He laughs as he storms the country,
A loud laugh and a bold;
And the trees all quake and shiver and shake,
As he robs them of their gold.

The autumn wind's a pirate,
Pillaging just for fun;
He'll snatch your hat as quick as that,
And laugh to see you run!

No one got sick from it. I probably wouldn't do it today. I even ate fresh string beans while I was snapping them. So sweet.

I am not sure I would have worn the tight, stretchy blouses with all of my stomach hanging out. Being pregnant is beautiful, but no one needs or wants to see your belly in all its glory. This is just my opinion. What say you?

That if you rub your windshield wiper with a sliced onion, that it will stay clear on a rainy day?

That now they use a quarter instead of a penny, to determine if you need to get new tires. If you can see, George's head - it's time.

I've just seen a BBC presentation where Neo-Nazi teenagers in the US were interviewed. While talking to the reporter, during 1 part of the interview when they (the interviewer and one of the neo-nazi teenagers)were walking through the neighbourhood, the reporter asked, "So where do you go to eat?", and the kid pointed straight to the Mexican owned Taco & Burrito shop. During another part of the same interview, another kid showed the interviewer his flat and when they walked in, there was a group of kids listening to Jay Z.

How does that work? If you hate everyone who isn't "the superior race" aren't you suppose to NOT be listening to black artists or eating food made by Mexicans? I think naziism is wrong but hypocracy on top of it just really irritates me.

There is much talk among the clansfolk of the shananigans that were indulged in on the night of The Grand Hooley - and it would be a shame to cast a shadow on such a fine event.

But I have been advised by my Guiding Light that I should issue a formal statement.

I deny everything. x 3.
And the education that I received from the Brave and HUGE McTealc was absolutely as he himself states - purely based on military strategy. I am now fully up to date on 'Heat Seeking Missiles'. I feel now competant to take on any future enemies of our clan having received a very comprehensive course in hand to hand combat and was fully de-briefed.

However - ours is a professional relationship and further to that statement - I repeat - whatever the charge - NOT GUILTY.
No more hand-cuffs for me thank you very much

Let there be no more talk of such louche behaviour.

It is a disappointment that such loose talk abounds. Are the Dragons behind this fiction??

I think so. I think there is a bullying going on especially towards feminine men.

For me, I saw myself living in the 'old homestead' - a home large enough to accomodate visiting children and grands - a 'tire' swing hanging from an old maple tree - a wrap around porch with a ceiling suspended swing...etc etc. and me and my mate together and comfortable as two old shoes but enjoying life to its fullest.

NOT....life happened - I have been divorced since '77 - never remarried [nor he] - came close but no bananas...

I was hell bent on providing my kids as close to the life I had when growing up - so I lived financially too close to the edge so I could live in DC suburbs that were safe, diverse, good public schools and great neighbors [takes a whole community to raise a child!] Although I made good money through three careers over the years it all went towards the kids - housing; cars; athletics; dance; college you name it.

STILL my dream was remained in focus until I was the unfortunate recipient of a RIF from my 'good government job'.

I love phrases like "cow patties", "don't give a horse's patoody", "let's rock him to sleep with a real rock", "older than sand ", "deep dodo", "cat yak", "advertisement for dead".... Hubby just likes the good old basic "Horse Sh--"!
Got any new ones????????

You see there’s this girl at my college and she’s really hot. Blonde hair, blue eyes, hot body.....you get what I m saying.
Plus she is single well at least for now. We kind of been hanging out together lately, just friendly talk. But the problem is I m black (not that it’s wrong for me to date her) but I m like living in a city which is more than 90 percent white and its hard to find a black girl (that is single).
Don’t get me wrong though I m fairly good-looking for a black guy myself. I m tall somewhat muscular and my skin colour and hair would make you think I m t mixed race, and I m taking Pharmaceutical Sciences in college which might impress her .but I m a really shallows type of person and I m afraid I m might get bad looks from people. So should I go for her or just lay back and go look for a brunette or something?
