Get your computer cleaned by a professional.

Yeah, look at that Jesus fellow: He had a beard and was a layabout, beatnik and rabble-rouser.  They had to execute him to keep the peace.

Beards were banned in Albania altogether under Communism.

In 15th century England facial hair was considered effeminate; it was only introduced by Henry VIII who copied the beard worn by the King of France. His courtiers all copied the fashion, and he then promptly introduced a Beard Tax on anything over 2 days growth.

Another type of beard coming back into fashion:

Garg, one word comes to mind with you last post……

NICE!

@Jermofoot:

That limit on entering events is probably a good idea, but I bet it would have very little effect overall. I doubt there are more than a handful of people, and probably only from larger countries, that it could apply to.  But it also might mean limiting a country’s ability to win medals.  So I dunno.

Of course it would only have a small effect, but it would give a chance to a few more people who have spent their entire young lives training for a moment that only comes every 4 years.

Is there anything currently showing new episodes on prime time?  I thought that wouldn’t be happening for a month or so.

You could be right. I don’t watch the local networks’ prime time lineups. But I assumed that things were different this year because of the writers strike and also because I watch Monk and Psych on USA Network and they have been airing new episodes for over a month now.

Hahahaha, wow. I gotta try those directions out… :P

Granted BET ain’t ABC, cBS, or NBC, but they made a decision based on the bottom line…
or the viewership line.  Which due to advertising works out to about the same thing.

What? They don’t want to edgykate de bros about the evils of W, Republicans, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice and Clarence Thomas??

I seem to recall one or more of the major networks going through financial struggles and having to cut the budget so the news wasn’t such a drag on the bottom line$$$$.

And now we may soon have Perky Katie Kouric(sp?) taking the anchor news_reader_ chair @ one network and the Survivor Celebrity Newstarget(who was set up for an assassination attempt by his own network) taking another news_reader_ chair.

More big money to a losing cause.
Just like Leno($14M/year) and Letterman($17M/year.)

Don’t know enough about the case to make any decision. The mere accusal of assault, unless there’s actual evidence to back it up, is not enough in my mind to convict the fellow. And on top of that, nine-million dollars is a Hell of a lot of money, and there’s no way, even if he did assault her, that she needs that much money to “compensate.”

@Yanny:

why should Columbus day be a holiday?

Guglielmo Marconi and Amerigo Vespucci don’t have their own holidays. Those of us with any Italian heritage need a National Day of Whoopee!

NO, not WHOOPIE! You filthy minded pervs…

yea that was me :)
