One of the Greatest Songs ever recorded...
There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Ah, be careful what you say
Or you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
------ lead guitar ------
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
Swingin' on the Riviera one day
And then layin' in the Bombay alley next day
Oh no, you let the wrong word slip
While kissing persuasive lips
The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
Secret agent man

With moronic generalizations like those she'd make a great racist. Now that you mention it, she and Bob Byrd (D-KKK) would make a great couple...

"One of the funniest things I've ever seen is a Smurf hanging from a tree. "
The best I've seen is a house decorated for christmas that had santa's presents strewn about all over the roof and him hanging partially off the edge of the roof. We have a photo of it somewhere at my mom's house because it was a friend of hers that did it in FL.
To: honeygrl
That would be cute! I'd like to have a Santa and reindeer with Santa's face bashed in like the one Clark Griswald attacked in Christmas Vacation.

That was a great song. The original theme for the show wasn't as catchy but was ear-tickling and stuck in the memory, no words, but was for harpsichord and orchestra. (Up here we got to see the show in it's original British form, it was called "Dangerman").

"mini-schnauzer, too nervous. I like mini shelties. "
If you get one from a good breeder with a good temperment then they are great dogs. They are also very very smart. The one my family had when I wasa teen taught herself to fetch when she was only 12wks old. She also crate trained really easily. The next door neighbors dog barked at her though when we wren't home and another neighbor sued my parents and we were forced to give her away. The neighbor was a half mile away *atleast* and she said the barking dog was ours and interfered with her college age daughter's studying. It was total crap though because ours wsn't that bad of a barker and we knew it wasn't our dog that did it. The judge was a real jerk about it and it appeared that he may have known the neighbor that sued us personally. Luckily though, my parents found a really good home for her with a lady that doted on her and lived out in the country.

Eala! How are you? I'm well enough, Miss Rika. Busy -- I shouldn't even be on right now, but I had to reconnect the computer to the "outside world" network to pick up some files before going back to my private "test" network... and while I was on.... well... *\;-)
Things have changed so much from when we were a nice little 80-man company last winter, to part of a giant conglomerate now... *\:-(
How are you? I haven't seen you around for a while (not that I've been on much since the acquisition).
What a wonderful event, looks like you had a heck of a turnout too.
It was wonderful! The people were nice and welcoming -- and so happy to have Americans joining them. (As somebody said on another thread, "Freedom-loving people around the world need to stand together." Think I'll put that on a sign for the next demonstration.)

"Jolie said she no longer engages in such behavior. I think when you make a decision to have a child, you cannot think about suicide again and you cant be self-destructive."
I think that shows she has matured and changed her ways since adopting the child. I had always liked Billy Bob before they split up and found him pretty entertaining. But if he really left her because he was jealous of the attention she gave to the son (which is what the rumors were at the time) then he doesn't deserve to be a dad anyway and she's better off without him. I also agree with her decision that her son is better off not having a temporary dad. I sincerely hope a good man comes her way to be a real father for her son that won't disappear like billy bob did. I knew about her being bisexual in her past but apparently, if she is dating Nic Cage, he is the first romantic relationship since her divorce.
