I've always liked "Ignatius" or "Poindexter" for small dogs. Of course, that's largely because I don't like the small dogs themselves.

Reply to Is this EVIL? in Misc JoeUser Forums

That's not evil, TW. ... Evil would be if you bought TWO copies, kept one pristine in its shrink-wrap for him, played the other one like heck until you were pretty darn good at it, gave him the unopened copy when he came back and innocently said "can I play it with you?", and then kicked his butt mercilessly while maintaining your air of guileless beginner's luck.

Ack! That has the ring of a correct answer for the riddle, but I'd blast the police for their lousy detective work if they arrested someone based on that flimsy evidence. What if I say it was the sister, because fruit doesn't grow in a garden, but an orchard?

Well, others may not have read it. On the other hand, now they know where to go for some answers. Ah, yes. The forgotten F sentence. A classic. (a little spoiler space....) There are 6. Lots of people miss one or more of the F's in "of" because of it being pronounced as a 'v'.

Reply to Should Sufferers of Dementia Have the Right to Vote? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I would have to say I think we have a pretty good line in the sand on who gets to vote (anybody but convicted felons). If we start limiting people based on their mental conditions, soon there will be a whole cottage industry devoted to trying to decide which mental conditions are severe enough to get you disenfranchised, and another cottage industry of people trying to get other people declared non compos mentis in order to sway the political b

Let's see, there's also: You love doughnuts. You enjoy telling people what to do. You're looking to start a collection of bad excuses and obvious lies. You like being exposed to the scum of society. You can't wait to take advantage of the opportunities to go on the take. You don't mind being accused of brutality and excessive violence when you did as much as possible to avoid hurting someone.

Trina, that's correct; a word that has essentially the same meaning. Crusaders, as I said, I did read "The Hobbit", and since that one in particular is a high point of the "Riddles in the Dark" chapter, I haven't forgotten it. I'll let someone else have first go at it, though.

More of me?? heavens, no! I am unique, just like everyone else is. But I do have two brothers and a sister. My older brother, who is invariably the one I mean when I say merely "my brother", is equally brilliant in his own way. (My little brother is also smart as a whip (whatever that really means...) but doesn't show it off as well, at least not around me. And my (younger) sister

Reply to The P-P-P-Patriot Act in Politics JoeUser Forums

People want it both ways- they don't want the government to have information, or to step on a few "rights", yet they will blame the government if they didn't "protect" them. Which is more important? Our rights are more important, of course.

I am nowhere near being able to join the "hated daddys club" yet (whew!), but I do have a friend with a six-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy. The boy is still in the 2-to-3-word sentences phase, but apparently one of the things he will do (and oh, I wish you could hear the inflections on this!) when his daddy does something "bad" is, he'll go to his mom crying "Mommy, Mommy Mommy!!" all anxious and needy, then point to his dad and say "...

But they should be.....for every child .... Why?? Childhood itself (perhaps 3-12) should be one of the best chunks of your life, being happy, having fun, protected from the world. Teen years are for maturing, which is never an easy process and should not be sugar-coated out of some misguided desire to
