beer a cancer-fighter - Well, beer already makes you smarter...it made Bud wiser. (slap knee now)


Miss Teen Louisiana - What message are we sending to the beautiful people of the world when they can't get away with running out on a bill and carrying weed with them? Don't they deserve special treatment?

sanitary napkin - The use of a 'sanitary napkin' as a weapon is disgusting enough but the article's insistance on the use of the phrase "well-used and bloody female sanitary napkin" conjurs even worse images in my head.

Beer Just one more good thing about the world's oldest breakfast drink.

Miss Teen After all the crap from Louisianans this dosesn't even get new worthy.

Disposal Contract Really unexpected from a country that taxes each and every TV set. They used to tax windows but, somehow, that got thrown out. Didn't it?

sanitary napkin Think AIDS or just the seriously ickky factor.

Tape Worm I swear I wrote the above comments BEFORE reading this page. But my ickky factor is ickkier.

Wow, White Supremacist/Anti-Semite/Black Magician is some combo... I like how his Skinhead Rally attracted "less than 20 people," including the 5 counter demonstrators & 12 cops; when you add Sklyarov and his guest speaker from the Michigan American National Socialist Workers Party that makes 19, and a pretty good definition for "jerking yourself off in public."
