The boy was not injured or traumatized but desperately had to go to the bathroom, he said.
That's about the funniest line in the whole story, to me.

boy gets stuck in animal game machine
sheboygan, wis. (jan. 5) - a 7-year-old boy had to be rescued with the help of a locksmith saturday after crawling into a supermarket's stuffed animal game machine while his father talked on the telephone.jeffrey roland debbink.
"he was sitting right in there with the stuffed animals," said shift commander mark zittel of the sheboygan fire department.. he said the boy, whose name was not released because he is a minor, crawled through about an 8-inch-by-10-inch opening to get into the glass enclosure via a chute where the toys come out, but when he tried to get back out his way was blocked.. the stuffed animals are prizes that can be hooked by players with a crane-like device.. "his dad was three feet away at a pay phone," zittel said.

i just had a phone call from princess, who is in phoenix az for the rock and roll marathon.
it was her first full marathon, and she finished, which was her goal.
she came in at about 4:30 hours.. she had a bit of knee problem, but finished it.
Incredible! You know, the first guy ever to run a marathon died, so Princess is doing pretty good just to have a wobbly knee!

.... i've never found out why.
i've always wondered why, but never got around to asking anyone, so now i'm asking!
lol
LOL @ Dr. Watson!
That always killed me, too. Someone would always make some comment about the expression on someone's face, or the particular clothing a person was wearing, or some item shown in the background of a room scene, as if it were part of the factual account. I'd just sit there thinking, "Are you out of your mind? It's a goddamn illustration! The account doesn't contain any of those details!" But I never heard that type of comment corrected.

i just found out that the elders announced meia's and my disassociation at the service meeting this week.
they'd called me on monday and told me that they were going to; i fired off an appeal letter the next day, and hadn't heard anything, so i thought they might have postopned the announcement.
i just found out, however, that the meeting was held on monday this week because the other congregation had the co's visit.
Hey Dan,
Sorry to hear it worked out that way. It's so strange that they can arbitrarily announce that you have disassociated yourself. It would be like a tribunal meeting to determine what color a person likes. You'd get a little letter that would advise you of their decision. "Hey, honey, apparently, I like blue!"
I'd be interested in knowing how things work if you decide to take the legal route. Would you sue for alienation of affections? How does that work?

Blondie, excellent article.

Just as a correction, I believe Mr. Dunlap's first name was Ed, not Ray.

Believe it or not, this kind of thing is actually really labor-intensive. I just talked to the neighbor this morning, and he said he'd be willing to build one for $189. Buyer pays shipping. You can customize the heights of the three floating platforms, too.

Floating lily-pad design sure to impress even the most discriminating kitty....
And, the nap-level is aligned purr-fectly with owner SNG's desktop, allowing cats to "help" with work, without becoming a mew-saince.
Pretty cool, huh? My neighbor and I built this thing today. We traded out the time - I helped him re-install Windows, and he helped me build this! As it turns out, the carpet is what takes the longest to do. We had the thing...um...framed in less than an hour. It took several more to deck it out in the plush berber you see illustrated.
Hopefully now my cat will be able to keep his watchful eye on me as I work, without actually lying all over the keyboard.

P.S. My neighbor is thinking about starting a side-business selling these things....let me know if anyone is interested!

Congrats, maybes!

Congrats to both alias and Deleted!
I was all pumped when I hit the 200 mark, because I thought I'd be moving up to Senior Member. But when that that glorious post came and went with no fanfare, I resigned myself to having to wait a while longer. Sigh. Feels kind of like waiting for Armageddon. Maybe it'll be here at 250? 275? Do we reach perfection when we get to Emperor Class?
