flight originated in DC. i don't know where the lasers are originating from. i read those threads and someone claiming to know acted like it would be easy for a KID to do it with a toy. i find that impossible to believe.

Well, she did one good thing. My evil stepmother made the GREATEST gingerbread cookies (less ginger than usual) and I found out recently that the recipe was Martha Stewart's.

The figure the beam came from Warrensville Heights Ohio. An east side burb about 15-20 miles from the airport. I used to work in Warrensville Heights, it's not a place I'd like to have car trouble at night.

55 here, but overcast and gloomy-I've got to go to the grocery store, too, and since I'm going to have to make a 40 mile round trip to do it, I'm taking a camera along to snap a picture of a cute sign in front of a tavern on the highway.

That was your cheesy Freudian hearing system. By the way, I'm pleased as punch not to wear diaphonous pj's and undies around here because I've seen me sans pj's and undies from time to time (aboot every day actually) and let me tell you, it is definitely no treat.

It's almost like "LOSER" has become a good thing, in their silly little minds.

The future of our Country? God help us !

a martha stewart in training is in the kitchen. she is baking the dog dish that she painted for Loosh. apparently you have to bake it to get the paint to set.

I don't hate Martha Stewart, either-even though I used to get pissed when I'd try a recipe I saw her make on her show and it didn't turn out looking like hers at all...

You are FAR too kind, missy. If I got into your beholder's eye, you'd sing a different tune, but thank you.

Not that I have heard of. I would be suprised if Warrensville Hts doesn't have some members of Farakahan's cult the Nation of Islam.

Between the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes a pause in the days occupation,
That is known as the Children’s Hour.

But Children's Hour is long over,
And yet you are still bright eyed.
You’ve had your bath and your story,
And now you’re a pain in my back side.

Mommy’s wearing a diaphanous nightie,
And my favorite black lacy thong,
But you’re here resisting your bedtime,
And something is horribly wrong.

Do you think, O blue-eyed Banditti,
That you’ll deprive Daddy of nookie?
I’m putting bourbon in your warm milk,
And Qualuudes into your cookie.

Happy New Year!!

As we approach the final weekend of the NFL season, many of us still hold diaphonous hopes that our team will be playoff-bound come Monday morning. (the Bills for yours truly)
