All from the same vein: I’m really glad Adobe included McAfee Antivirus with this Acrobat update. I’m really glad Apple included Safari with this PC iTunes update. I love all this trial version software installed on my new PC. ---

Their talents were really held back while they were in The Beatles. Their solo recordings are extraordinarily better. Yes, I do think that your pickup truck proves that you’re more virile than I. No I think we’re much better off paying for good TV and radio instead of having it broadcast into our homes for free. And while I’m at it, I’d like to commend the cell phone providers for raising my phone bill 500% over what I paid for land-line service that remained up during any emergency. Glenn Beck and Keith Olberman are the most rational and truthful political commentators ever. I don’t think Steven Colbert is funny. ---

Hmm, if you put the word “nephew” between “8-year-old” and “a toy” that seems to be my brothers \*modus operendi \*for gift shopping for my son.

Love going 96 hours with no more than 1-2 hours of sleep at a time. Said No one, Ever.” Shortly after the 2nd birthday of my Niece, I got royally pissed at my Sister. So I went to my local Music Store, & loaded up a cardboard box with brightly colored whistles, drums, tambourines, Irish Penny-whistles, a toy Concertina, and every other noisemaker that was constructed by a Fiend from Hell with his own three hands, and sent it, nicely wrapped, as a birthday gift for the Niece. 😃 ---

Maybe both. My brother and his wife are the “No kids for us, thanks!” types so I never get a chance to reciprocate. Unless I get their dog an annoying toy.
