when does this start to kill the value of paying for commercials? and, when do advertisers start realizing the potential subliminal effects of the images whizzing by our eyes? think about it.

Friction has an effect not only at terminal velocity.

Did the dogs have Down syndrome? Because if not, really, there's not much story.

I thought a lot about this 6 years ago when I got my Tivo. Not so much since then, since advertisers are still advertising.

Her issue? She did not get to play prom queen in this contest.

I wish I had been there to console her. I am a person who cares. :)

MEOW!

Indeed. I wouldn't mind watching ;);) iykwimaiktydbyacalljlm.

Maybe we should have a BB gun biathlon competition.

Sure. Or a dance off-bowling challenge at the rock n bowl.

I like this better than the Tiger saga; other than the one incident with the golf club, we haven't really seen Elin let loose yet.

I'm waiting for the videotapes to surface, then it will get good, although its all just preface for the Edwards tape. I can't wait for Elizabeth to weigh in on that one.

I imagine there are numerous conditions at play in these events that have similar effects.

Anyone who has ever cycled (where it takes less skill to hold a straight line than skiing, meaning one less variable between different participants), even non competitively, understands the concept you noted. Both on the uphill portion and the downhill.

She looked like she was in the mood for at most a long cuddle.

Which is why I binge at the summit and purge at the base.
