Time to flip on Artic National Wildlife Reserve. This has got to be a quicker solution than offshore drilling and with far less environmental damage to worry about.

McCain should have used the sweet Swedish tail, Scarlett Johansson, for the ad. Now, she and Obama are exchanging e-mails. McCain has expertly played on white man's fear of black man/white woman hanky panky.

I believe teachers need to have their authority to act in loco parentis restored. No good parent would ever say "idiot" or "die you gravy sucking pig". I must admit that I'm glad, however, that this bully has been nabbed and won't be insulting others anymore.

Dinner? On the first date? Too boring. A drink is enough. If you do have dinner, share your dessert.
I always tell her how good she looks. You can't fail with that.
I almost never kiss on the first date (unless she's a sleaze), but I hope she'll be imagining what it's going to be like the next time so I always keep my lips unchapped and my hands and nails really clean and nice smelling.
Always wave with two hands (elbows in, hands close to the face) when saying goodnight.

Why is his name in the "paper" for just being arrested? You'd think this "rag" would wait until he was convicted to save him the embarrassment. Now, even if he's found innocent, he's sure to be the laughingstock of his school.
There's not much to see, however, as the nymphs are all wearing staid gym trunks, right?
Isn't there a right to look anywhere we please, if we're in a public place?

The program is definitely worth a look. I tried it and really enjoyed it. It's very systematic. My study habits are so weak. I think I need something like this to get organized.

I dated a Miss Nihon runnerup. Gorgeous, but worst girlfriend ever. Obsessed with clothes. Overemotional. Over flirtatious. Took taxis everywhere (claimed the train chikan were too much too handle). Relationship was a three-month ordeal. When I'm slow to urinate, I just imagine her face down there at the bottom of the urinal.

Did any of the ladies have a tattoo? How about sash rash? Did all that smiling cause carpal tunnel syndrome of the cheeks for anybody? How is the reception on one's walkman affected by the tiara? How long before the runner up is awarded the prize as the winner is publicly disgraced by a sex scandal? From now on, don't even bother asking for her phone number unless you're Mr. Universe. Except for the hot body, I thought Miss U kind of looked like Don Rickles after her mascara was sandblasted off. I see the tiara is now going for $750 on e-babe.

I particularly enjoyed what Miss Universe said about adult literacy. Now, let's get it on.

Wow, what a miracle. And if they're wrong, they just have to bow repeatedly wiping imaginary tears from their eyes.

For example?
Not to mention what?
Where does language learning fit in Maslow's hierarchy? If the second language produces income, it helps us make money and eat and there would, therefore, be motivation to learn. If language learning is merely for self-actualization, it might be ignored.
Personally, I need Japanese for money and dating (one of the higher needs).

It would certainly reduce noise and light pollution. I feel sorry for those who built new homes only to have a 7-11 move in next door. I also feel sorry for birds who have unwittingly changed their migration patterns due to the light emitted from the stores.

Automobile sales in Japan fell 6.1% in May compared with the same month in 2007, according to the Japanese Automobile Dealers Association (JADA). JADA blamed the fall on having one fewer selling day in the month compared with last year and on April's sales being boosted by tax changes. Sales by Toyota fell 2.8% while Nissan sales were down by 11.4%, but Honda managed a 5.1% rise.

With the precipitous drop in the murder rate, there is absolutely no chance of this amendment being repealed. Now, drug dealers and gang bangers shoot to maim instead of shoot to kill. Who cares about a bunch of scumbags shooting another bunch of scumbags? If you don't like handguns, stay the h out of New Orleans, Memphis, Miami, etc. We can never get rid of them because the cops are always 20 minutes late.

Are those peace signs or shuttlec#cks?
That Reiko is stunningly beautiful. One might think she's pudgy because of the muscular development of her right bicep after repeatedly hammering shuttlec#cks. Perfectly proportioned as far as I'm concerned.

Have never seen The Office (either U.S. or U.K. version), but am a big fan of baseball blogger Michael Scheur who plays someone named Moses, I believe.
Have only seen Seinfeld 3-4 times. Sanford and Son was tough to leave off (Gerry Shandling was a writer there) as was Cheers and Mash.
Can anyone understand the popularity of the Honeymooners? I utterly despised Jackie Gleason and would immediately change the channel if that show was on. Many critics have called it the greatest comedy ever.
