9/3     Does your laptop have a built in card reader? If so, what kind of
        card does it read? My 2004 laptop has a SD card reader, and I'm
        wondering if new laptops use different ones.
        \_ Probably combo reader.

9/3     I was in wash dc last year with my friend the Senate staffer
        and she said there was one senator who was waaaaay in the closet
        and everyone knew it but the Senate is an old boy's club
        with years of tradition so no one was going to out him.
        Too bad he couldn't stay out of airport bathrooms.
        \_ Are you sure she meant Craig? I think that guy was outed
           by the DC Blade about two years ago. Maybe she meant someone else.

9/3     So I was watching the Today Show this morning and in the crowd of
        jackasses trying to get on TV, some dude kept emphatically showing a
        home made sign that simply said, "lemonparty.org." None the wiser, I
        fired up my laptop, curious as to what could possibly be at
        http://lemonparty.org. I wondered why he was smiling so mischievously,
        shaking his sign in the air each time the camera had him in the frame.
        Could it be some family reunion site? A wedding announcement? A site
        devoted to lovers of lemons? Oh no, I would not be so lucky.

        No sir -- or ma'am -- it was a photograph of three geriatric men
        engaged in very passionate adult loving. And by loving, I mean a good
        old fashioned three-way.

        Of course, I couldn't let it go at this. I had to find out more about
        http://lemonparty.org, as it seemed like an inside joke to which I was not
        privy. A friendly google search yielded several results, all informing
        me that http://lemonparty.org is supposedly a shock site, in the ranks of
        loopback.jpg, http://tubgirl.com and goatse.cx. Now, I'm not sure if the
        shock value or http://lemonparty.org packs the same punch as the
        aforementioned peers, but I can only imagine a suburban housewife or
        lonely grandpa typing the web site in as I did, because, well, they
        too had nothing better to do.

        So why am I sharing this? I honestly don't know, other than I needed
        to purge my conscience. I think this was either one of the most
        wonderfully subversive things I've seen on TV in a long time, or one
        of the more disturbing ones (although I doubt there are many young
        kids watching the Today show on Labor Day). But, hey, old guys need to
        get it on, too, I suppose; so lemonparty indeed!
        \_ Yucks!  It's amazing enough that that guy can get it up.

9/3     There it is, scientists have proven that chihuahuas are related
        to giant rats:
        http://www.watleyreview.com/2004/052504-3.html
        \_ Don't chihuauas mate with other dog breeds?  I thought different
           species can't mate?
           \_ It's a satire website. Kind of like theonion
