I remain uncertain on quite what to get my mam and sister with today the last day to order and have them possibly get it before the new year

Get them deluxe boxes of soy sauce and MSG.

My cell phone provider has an option for discounted calls to North America:

"Low prices for calls to the USA (including Alaska and Canada)!"

Heaven doesn't work that way. Only people go to heaven. Not abortions. :p
Don't pre baptized babies go to purgatory or something too? I'm sure it's something weird

Limbo, not purgatory AFAIK. At least, pre-Vatican II and this is certainly no ex cathedra matter.

PS : seems Pope Benny declared it was not an article of faith so it's pretty much open.

Why does Keanu Reeves now get to pass as Japanese?

Why not. He tried to pass as Québécois once in Youngblood. Can't be worse.

Happy solstice!

Why does Keanu Reeves now get to pass as Japanese?

Because they needed a Hollywood star to build the movie on.

But meh, I can see him as Japanese. Japanese people are pretty varied, some look very stereotypically oriental whilst others just look like dark Caucasians. I know one Japanese guy who sometimes tells people he meets that he's Indian and they have no trouble believing him.

Time Warner added Al Jazeera. Promptly blocked it.

It joins the music channels and the gay channel in limbo.

[Admiral Yi]

The gay channel?  What does it air?

[Ed Anger]

Gay shit I assume.

Things you probably shouldn't be able to do: take a four mile walk, in complete comfort, in a short-sleeved t-shirt, at midnight, four days before Christmas.

Well not around here you won't.

[Ideologue]

Yeah, but even in SC that's weird.  It's like room temperature outside, and feels like 80 with the humidity.

That's the giant low pressure front moving up from the Gulf.  Heard that NYC is going to hit 70.
