9/17    Does the Cal Alumni Assoc. still give out free e-mail addresses for
        alumni?  I can't find this in http://alumni.berkeley.edu.  Thx.
        \_ Yes. See <DEAD>cal.berkeley.edu<DEAD>.

9/17    Dont you hate it when you're wondering what is that horrible
        smell, and it's you!

9/17    I was helping my ex move over the weekend and I moved this
        shoebox out of her closet and out slipped this massive
        foot long dildo.  Jesus christ is must have weighed at least
        9 pounds.
        \_ Nine pounds sounds heavy, but a foot's about average,
           \_ This must be some conservative thing.
           isn't it?  Do you just have a really small penis or something?
        \_ For a foot-long sandwich ... er ... dildo to be nine pounds, either
           it's made of very dense material, or it's a very thick penis.
           it's made of very dense material, or it's a very thick dildo.
           \- your weight estimation is off. a 17in 5 D cell maglight
              is 2.5 lbs with batteries. solid cylinder of iron 30cm long
              with 2.5cm radius would be just over 10lbs. 6.5lbs at 2cm radius.
              \_ Dildos weigh a lot less than maglights.
              \_ Iron is very dense material for a dildo.
                 \- i was speaking to the absurdity of the OP's estimate.
                    btw, iron isnt that dense at metals go. brass, copper,
                    btw, iron isnt that dense as metals go. brass, copper,
                    gold, silver, platinum, lead, magnesium, nickel, uranium
                    all significantly more dense. maybe use MARAGING STEEL
                    for nuclear fuel production/ho purposes.
                    \_ IRON COCK.
       \_ The question I want to know is: Did you mention this to her?
          What did she say about it?
          \_ No.  I cannot compete with a foot long 9 pound iron dildo.
             \_ Kindly post pics for those of us who can.
        \_ And you said, "can I help you with that?"

9/16    Buick commercial I just saw:
        "Subtitle: Faster than Mercedes 280"
        "Subtitle: More spacious than BMW 318i"
        "Subtitle: Cheaper than Lexus LS430"
        "Subtitle: More options than Altima"
        This is such a stupid commercial, why the hell would anyone buy
        a Buick?
        \_ Ask someone in China.
        \_ Because it's faster than Mercedes 280, more spacious than
           BMW 318i, cheaper than Lexus LS430, and comes with more
           options than Altima?  :^)
        \_ Dumb cars attract dumb people.
           Case in point FORD TRUCKS BIGGER LOCKNUT THAN TOYOTA
           TUNDRA, THINK BIG THINK BOLD!!! and Mustang, all muscle
           no brain.

9/17    There is a big disconnect between Target's classy commercials
        and the shitty things they sell. Anyone noticed this big disconnect?
        \_ Target's commercials don't really exude class.  Maybe they exude an
           air of "Target, we're hipper than Walmart", but that's not saying
           much.  To Target's small credit, the crap they sell, while still
           crap on an absolute scale, is appreciably less crappy than the crap
           Walmart sells. -dans
        \_ There's more to class than a Beetles remix.  Those ads reek of
           \_ Agreed.  What category of goods is OP trying to buy anyway?
        \_ There's more to class than a Beatles remix.  Those ads reek of
           Stepford.  On an unrelated note I hate the word 'classy.'  A less
           classy word there isn't. -- ilyas
           \_ they were called "The Beatles" by the way  --brain
              \_ You want me to say 'a The Beetles' remix? -- ilyas
              \_ Right you are.
           \- i was at target just the other day to buy some storage totes
              and some kitchen tongs. target had a better collection of tongs
              than sur la table and i'm not sure what a classy storage tote
              would look like. i dont buy clothes there and i might not buy
              copper cookware or a mont blanc pen there, but it has its place.
              \_ The clothes for kids are actually quite good.  It's one of the
                 few places you can buy an outfit for a little girl that
                 doesn't make her look like a prostitute.
                 \_ Yeah, the whole slutty 4-year-olds thing really throws me.
           \_ klassy ?

9/17    Go OJ Simpson! You rule!

9/17    Anyone know anyone who works at Pixar?  My fiance's little brother
        (highschool) is writing a report on how animation reflects/influences
        american pop culture and needs to interview people as part of the
        report.  thx!  --sky
        \_ Aubie worked there. Dunno if he still does.
