I've had trial course instructors show some of the cross examinations in My Cousin Vinny as examples of good cross style.

Nice, Kirk. That's way cooler than sharks with fricking laser beams on their heads.

Absolutely! That issue was awesome. It's one of the comics that got me hooked, followed a year (?) later by Alpha Flight #12.

Another one no one mentioned: Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide universe. That one would be a lot of fun.

Beat me to it, Frito. I guess that shows the value of brevity.

I notice that the screenshot clearly shows an 'unsubscribe' link, which, it seems to me, would solve Amelie's problem of receiving a GOOP newsletter. Of course, it might create a new problem by diminishing her supply of things to hate.

Yes, it is.

Not drunk enough, Dr. A. Still at work, and they tend to frown on OTJ intoxication.

Steve, it's not an interconnected root system. It's actually a single root system. Aspens can sent roots out away from a tree, and the roots can then sprout a new truck above ground which appears to be a new tree, but is actually part of the original. In the case of Pando, the aspen grove is considered a single…

My iPod was actually playing Aenima when I decided to visit the AVC and found this story; isn't that 'synchronicity' or something?

There are some pretty damn cool giant spiders and whatnot, too, all listed in the same article.

JVS, that unified root system also means that Pando is also the largest organism in the world by some measures (mass or volume).

Sweet. You got a link, Evel?

As soon as I switched from Axe Body Spray back to Drakkar Noir, I had more ladies throwin' themselves at me than I could even count.

Prety much, TTOB.

Come on, Carl, maples aren't revolting at all. Their syrup and the candy made therefrom is delicious.

Gleeth: Yes. I mean, sometimes we'll mix it up with a gang bang or a game of Pictionary. But it's mostly orgies.

Puzz: when my friends come over, we generally do more fun things than watch TV.

I don't understand, Sheltie; what more could anyone want?

I own a TV, but don't get cable. Between Hulu and Netflix, I can watch what I want, when I want, and I don't have the temptation to watch hours of crap and ads and yell at the TV like the curmudgeon I'm turning into.
