  during conan o'brien's finale he showed a quick string of clips from the past year on his show.

  one of them looked like two jws on stilts holding a gigantic watchtower.

  i never saw this sketch the first time it aired and i haven't been able to find it on youtube.

  did you like being called "brother" or "sister"?

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i always found it very patronising, particulay as most of the jw's who did that treated me very badly and not like a sister at all!.

  i also hated when brothers would say " i've met a lovely sister and i'm planning to marry her!

  " sounds so incestuous!

  Any Comment On The Amanda Knox Verdict?

  by acolytes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think the verdict was not based on anti-americasim as the boyfriend was italian and was also convicted.. i think the irresponsible journalisam and charactor assasination on a persons character to sell newspapers and gain t.v ratings reflect badly on english journalisam.

  i think this must have effected the thinking of a jury allowed to be exposed to such media frency.. sadly english jounalisam has been responsible for helping convict innocent people in the past.

  the wimbeldon common murder and false conviction of colin stagg was a classic example.. i also remember how in america (many years ago)a au-pair from england was convicted of shaking a baby to death.

  No gorillas in paradise!

  by TJ - iAmCleared2Land in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  funny thought this morning, while seeing the movie trailer for robin williams and john travolta's new flick, old dogs.

  in the movie, they accidentally end up in the gorilla enclosure at the zoo while trying to rescue a child who is stuck in the zoo after hours.

  the trailer shows one of the men being cradled in the arms of the seated gorilla--the actor's "singing" soothes the gorilla.. it occurred to me then that the paradise pictures by the society always have lions and cheetahs and elephants... but no gorillas that i remember!!
