California asks for Real ID extension, but won't promise to comply

So they are buying time, waiting for the administration to change. It's the smart move but I wish more states would give DHS the finger and not file.

I wish I had the dough to buy it. Just to watch it rot.

[All three boys stare at the telly, just a little white dot on the screen and a low pitched hum.]
RICK: What is that little white dot?
NEIL: It's a little white dot.
RICK: Oh, very clever.
NEIL: It must be a really old telly.
RICK: What, hippie?
NEIL: Look, there's a sign in that little white dot. It means something really heavy. It means, there's no more telly. Time to go to bed. [stands] I'm going upstairs now to finish painting my astrological star chart, all right? [leaves]
RICK: [pause, calls to Neil] Do you really think that anyone has ever been the slightest bit interested in anything you say or do ever, Neil?! [sighs] God, fascist. [stands] Are you going to bed, Vyvyan?
VYVYAN: No. I'm going to watch the dot for a bit longer.
RICK: Wish we had a video. Then I could tape it and watch it in the morning. Oh, well. Nighty night.

I predict 7200 more comments about hungry people, and what real art is.

Nice is hardly even a word anymore. It something you say through a forced smile. The law of diminishing returns will wear any word away over time. Look at "awesome", it's in even worse shape than wonderful. Instead of lamenting the diminishment of wonderful, just steal another word from the French to replace it. That's the real power of the English language, its speakers are shameless magpies.

Yes, they are in fact filled with deadly anthrax spores.
Twin Peaks -- 10 DVD set

Season two was a classic case of "Be careful what you wish for". But yeah, I'm jazzed to see the pilot again.
Best Buy won't refund "hard drive" that turned out to be a box of bathroom tiles
October 29, 2007 5:02pm
I once bought a defective DVD from them and they refused to even exchange it, and they were so fugging smug about it, it was infuriating. I took the same DVD next door to Target and they exchanged it no questions asked, even though they didn't sell it too me. Let me add my voice to the chorus, Best Buy sucks!

I immediately thought of the MAD magazine thing too. I think they kept it up for a year or so. The only issue I really remember had the bar code over a caption that said something like "Exclusive up close preview of the new Bee Gee's album".
