Zerobike


I love to mountain bike, and this conflicts with my most recent passion- flagrant apathy and physical unfitness.  This little beauty sits perched on the intersection of both of these loves. Imagine riding what amounts to a downhill mountain bike up a hill at 40 mph without any physical exertion.

Farewell, Hilary.

 One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers
>did  for a living. All the typical answers came up-fireman, mechanic,
>businessman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth.

>       But little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the
>teacher prodded him about his father, he replied, "My father's an exotic
>dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men 
>and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really
>good, he will go home with some guy and make love with him for money."
>
>       The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the 
>other children to work on some exercises and then took little Justin aside
>to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?" "No," the boy said,
>"He works for the Democratic National Committee and has been trying to secure 
>the nomination of Hilary Clinton, but I was too embarrassed to say that in
>front of the other kids."

Who loves Enchanted?


Who doesn't love enchanted?My kids love this movie. I thinks it's pretty good, too- for a Disney flick. I heard the other day that Amy Adams (Giselle in Enchanted) began her movie career with a small part in Drop Dead Gorgeous. Since DDG is one of my favorite movie's, I had to do a quick YouTube search. I had forgotten what a hilarious movie it was. A little warning though- be prepared to see Princess Giselle in a little different light.

Also, at the risk of my wife mistakenly assuming I have a crush on Amy Adams (only a small one relative to my crush on Kate Beckinsale), I submit three more reasons Disney did well to choose her for the role in Enchanted. She hardly speaks, but there must be some points awarded by associaton.
