Happy New Year Everyone! …I won’t be back until middle of next week, since I’ll be preparing/partying/recovering over the next four and a half days. Incidentally, if you’re in Ottawa and you’re looking for something to do on New Year’s Eve, follow the link at the beginning of this entry and contact me.
All for a torn up napkin… Parenting 101: Making your 11-year-old daughter stand naked in the rain in the middle of the night to “teach her a lesson” is abuse. You will go to jail.
This party sucks! I keep ending up in the hospital… (thank MeFi)
$50 for a link? Are they nuts? How do you enforce something like that? Who in their right mind would pay it?
What the Heck.com? – These guys have links to some pretty strange eBay auctions. Ghost photos of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, Francis D. Cornworth’s Virginity, Grandma, little brother, and something I’ve always wanted: a Hillbilly!

Paula Jones doesn’t bare enough for the Mandingo Warriors – David Joyner, a Texas prisoner serving time for robbery and assault, sued Penthouse Magazine because their December pictorial of Paula Jones was not revealing enough. He claimed that it caused him to be “very mentally hurt and angered” and sought $500,000 in damages. In the lawsuit he identified himself as the Minister of Law of the Mandingo Warriors prison gang. Here’s the best part: U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks dismissed the lawsuit with a 12-line poem and a $250 fine for filing a frivolous legal motion. That’s right. A poem: “Twas the night before Christmas and all through the prison, inmates were planning their new porno mission. … The minute his Penthouse issue arrived, the Minister ripped it open to see what was inside. But what to his wondering eyes should appear — not Paula Jones’ promised privates, but only her rear. Life has its disappointments. Some come out of the blue but that doesn’t mean a prisoner should sue.” I think I like this judge.
