Hi, kids. Haven't found much of interest in today's news, except that Al's book is already headed for the remainder bins, and the bouleversement of American educational standards is proceeding apace. "Ethnomathematics," anyone?

In the Ohio State-Michigan game, the bouleversement seemed to be halftime, as the Buckeyes were able to shut down the Wolverine offense in the 2nd half.

In the New Orleans Saints-Cleveland Browns game, the bouleversement was Aaron Brooks's fumble and Courtney Brown's recovery of same.

Hello Bella,

They finally let me surface from this dang work!

Homework: "We were invited to come and cheer him on," says a former volunteer. "We were chanting, 'Gore in 2004,' and he loved it. But I wasn't going to buy the book."

This is a complete bouleversement to what the the Boron was expecting. He is so insignificant that his own bussed in followers won't purchase his aid to insomniacs. Pity. Not.

What did this Garrison Hearst say that was perceived as homophobic?

[xsmommy]

hi rika! when does the new LOTR movie come out? xsboy has been reading the book, in hopes that it would assist him in being more successful with the xbox game of LOTR. anything that gets him reading more is fine by me.

[RikaStrom]

It starts in December, I am not sure what date, but for some reason I have the 16th stuck in my head.

I bought the extended DVD last weekend and O.D.'d on LOTR. LOL

[xsmommy]

i would like to get that and see it again before seeing the new one. i missed at least a part of the first one, once because xsbrownie had to go to the BATHROOM and again bc xsbrownie was sobbing so loudly i couldn't hear the dialogue (she and i both bawled when ole whats his name got it there in the forest at the end)

[RikaStrom]

It's about 30sih dollars for the 4 dvd set. Yeah, I liked Borimor too. He was nice to look at.

When they did the commentary of the movie, one of the options is with the cast, now that's an interesting listen.

What did this Garrison Hearst say that was perceived as homophobic?

Hearst's exact quote was: "Aww, hell. no! I don't want any faggots on my team. I know this might not be what people want to hear, but that's a punk. I don't want any faggots in this locker room."

[xsmommy]

and is there a big hue and cry over this? is he being universally derided for it? i haven't heard anything about but i don't read the sports page, usually.

[xsmommy]

looky here, dr. doug's manipulations can cure all that ails ye!

[RikaStrom]

Ok, I am going back to work. It's going to be a hellish three days.

[xsmommy]

see ya. Make that a hellish 2.5 for me.

Poorly controlled open study. Bunk.
