One of the most amazing pranks I’ve seen.
Check out the employees’ reaction and participant interviews as well.
Month: November 2006
Intended?
At Newsbusters (“Exposing and Combating Liberal Media Bias”) we find the following headline:
While Ted Haggard Is Pounded, Gay Gene Robinson Was Rewarded
Now, since the organization publishing this is, by its own admission, fairly straight-laced (intentional), one has to believe that this awful headline was unintentional.
eBay Adventure
I completed my first sale on eBay this week, and I’m more than a little surprised at the rush I felt. To be sure, that was because I got significantly more than I was expecting for the item: a Canon 550ex flash.
Honestly, I was hoping to get somewhere in the neighborhood of $160 for the thing (I’d put a starting price of $150), but the bidding jumped up to $200 in the last minutes, finishing at just under $230.
Next up: an Elan 7e, a battery pack, and a 70-300 zoom lens. Anyone interested? I didn’t think so…
Crib
In the corner of our bedroom now sits a new bed: L’s crib. Two months to go, and our home is slowly beginning to look like the floor of Babies R Us.
Assembly was a quick enough process, but for once, Dad read the instructions carefully to make sure we did nothing wrong.
And of course, there was the requisite crawling about on the floor. No project is complete without it.
Last night I woke up and looked over at the silhouette of the crib, and imagining a little girl asleep in it was so soothing that I fell back asleep almost immediately.
US pastor ‘bought drugs’ but didn’t inhale
“I bought it for myself but never used it. I was tempted but I never used it,” Mr Haggard said. He said he threw it away.(BBC)
Does anyone actually believe that after Clinton’s pathetic “didn’t inhale” loophole?
Funny how everything Republicans and their supports hate and fear about sin-mongering, terrorist-supporting, drug-taking Democrats turns up in their own backyard. Odd thing, being human…
Nashville
All Saints
Tonight, Polish cemeteries will look like this:
Undoubtedly, one of the best times to be in Poland. Walking among the candles, hearing an occasional muted pop! as the glass of one overheats and fractures, having your clothes covered in the smell of candles — it’s really one of the most peaceful experiences I’ve ever had.
Unfortunately, we won’t be adding any new pictures this year, for obvious reasons. But more are available at Flickr.
