I'm just saying that its great to see your legs together for once. I mean.. I mean... What I meant was I enjoy your legs separately...

Parents With Nothing Better To Do
There has been a petition against the US version of Coupling brought on by the Parents Television Council. Apparently it was too graphic for their tastes.

Of course, these are the same people that complain that the FCC isnt doing enough to curb such shows as Friends, Will & Grace, and CSI. They would like a family hour on television just as it was decades ago.

Whats wrong people? I thought sitting with your kids all the time would be family hour; that parents should be there to see what is going on, not just during 8p to 9p.

Well, this group will be happy about one thing.

NBC has announced that Coupling will be cancelled due to poor ratings.

Thats too bad.

Thank God for the BBC and DVD. Heh... The second season is available now.

Another favorite quote: So Sally, Liam has been doing some lovely things to your bottom...

Never Tick Of The Guy With The Badge
My apartment complex is fenced in with a security gate and a code box for residents, but people can still park in the guest parking lot and walk in through the visitor gate. Part of this security is due to the NO SOLICITATIONS rule enforced by the complex.

So when there was a banging on my door yesterday afternoon, I was bit surprised.

First because everyone I knew wouldnt have been able come over because of the code box. Second, and more importantly, because I was taking a nap and the knocking had awoken me.

Loud voices in the entryway of my neighbors and other loud knocks on doors told me that these were solicitors. The multiple sounds on the different floors let me know that there were two of them walking the halls.

When I peeked out the door, they were both off to bother the neighbors.

Aggravated from being woken up as well as realizing that my rent was due, I ran up to the office while it was still safe. As I dropped off the check, I made a comment to the office girl about the solicitors walking on the complex, bugging the hell out of everyone. With that she promptly called security and sent them after the tresspassers.

So I walked back to my apartment only to have the two solicitors coming down a set of stairs and ushering me over to talk to them. Security hadnt caught up with them yet.

The first man began smiling and blared out "Hey big guy! Got a minute? I'm from..."

I interrupted him before the speech could he continue. "Wait! Before you go on, let me advise you that if I go in my home and retrieve the badge, I will have to enforce the No Solicitation rule this private property has. Do we understand each other?"

The second man looked aghast, then looked at the first one, the more senior of the two. At that point the first salesman, now with a confused look on his face, replys "Umm.. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.." And they both promptly head towards the exit.

This wasnt an abuse of power; just a resident that became very irritated when my home was invaded by unwanted guests. The way I see it, they were lucky my road rage didnt turn on them.

The French Vogue published Loreal ads with half naked 13 year olds girls . I know Europeans have a different perspective of sex, but I didnt realize they catered to the folks in Alabama as well.

Numb by Linkin Park

I've become so numb.
I can feel you there.
I've become so tired,
So much more aware
I'm become this...
All I want to do
Is become more like me
And be less like you...

*********************************************
* I will never forget those nights.
* I wonder if it was a dream.
* Remember how you made me crazy?
* Remember how I made you scream?
