Grass Stains

If you have a problem with grass stains, go to Tide's stain detective to get the answer. However, under no circumstances should you click on the link "richard from Orange County uses tide."

That's just not right.

Classic

This is pure brilliance. From the way Jose is seated behind the little missus to the fact that they're both holding the horse, I just can't look at this picture without conjuring up some seriously twisted scenarios.

By this time tomorrow

I should be eating a Frenchy's grouper sandwich. If not, it probably means that I perished in a fiery ball of death. Looks like a win-win scenario for me.

I'm sure Mean Mr. Mustard will agree with this

Bourne cleared of charges; Lund sought for questioning

St. Peter, Minn. (KTL) In a stark reversal from yesterday's activities at Klund's DVD headquarters, super-spy Jason Bourne was cleared from all charges related to the weekend's DVD player breakdown. Authorities now want to question an unnamed suspect who is now believed to be behind the malfunction.

Klund chief investigator Nivek Dnul explained that a Klund DVD technologist took apart the DVD player and found that The Bourne Supremacy was actually placed in the DVD drive on top of The Incredibles. "It seems that the malfunction was due to interaction between the two DVD's. Mr. Incredible and Jason Bourne both think they're the toughest dudes on the block, so naturally any contact between the two of them would cause nasty side effects. We believe that they were intentionally placed in close proximity in order to spark a fight."

Klund investigators are looking for a tall, young and extremely handsome man who was spotted at the scene of the crime moments before the malfunction.

Jason Bourne Killed my Toshiba DVD Player

OK, this is stupid, I'm sure. Last night I opened up a brand new DVD - the Bourne Supremacy. I put it in my Toshiba SD-V391 DVD/VCR combo, and it died. The DVD screen said "Reading Disc" and froze. I tried turning it off and then on again, and at that point the thing was officially dead. I couldn't turn it on, I couldn't get the DVD out of the machine. Heck, it wasn't even passing the cable signal on to the TV!

Is it possible for a DVD to kill a player? Or was it just a coincidence? The machine had been working fine up to this point. My only conclusion is that Jason Bourne did some of his super-spy moves on the inside of my DVD player and now it's dead.

Damn, that's not nice.

And the disc is still in there. When I do get the disc out, I'm not sure if I want to try it in our other DVD player. He still might be angry.

Cold Mountain

66.

It would have been in the 30's except for (and I can't quite believe that I'm typing this) the remarkable Renee Zelwegger. She completely saved the movie. I don't think I could have cared less whether or not Jude Law made it back to Cold Mountain and his dear, beloved Nicole Kidman.

The only other redeeming quality of the movie was who Jude met on his trip home. "Hey, that's Phillip Seymour Hoffman!" "Hey, that's Giovanni Ribisi!" "Hey! That's Natalie Portman!"

Naturally he dies immediately after he overcomes unbelievable odds and actually gets home to his honey. (Oh, and after he knocks up Nicole. That's important, too, I think.) It wouldn't have been appropriately tragic if they lived happily ever after.

Whatever.
