Recently I sent around a preview of that terrifying new film When Harry Met Sally. Sorry if that frightened you. Here is a much happier, feel good movie that is sure to be a hit with families with kids – a new film starring Jack Nicholson called The Shining.

Thanks to Steve for passing this along. – tj

Some of the options of what you can do might fall outside of your comfort zone. At least consider them. Do what you can and realize that we are all connected. This problem will affect us all whether it's convient or not.

It’s been around for a while, but still lots of fun. -- tj

Some of these are instant classics. Thanks to Matt for sharing. - tj

Amazing. I can’t believe it but it really works. See for yourself. - tj

        This is creepy!
             
        Think of a letter between
        A and W.
       
        Repeat it
        out loud as
        you scroll down.
      
        Keep going . . .
        Don't stop .. ..       
       
        Think of an
        animal
        that begins
        with that letter.       
       
        Repeat it
        out loud
        as you
        scroll down.       
       
        Think of
       
        either a man's/woman's
        name
        that
        begins
        with the
        last letter
        in the
        animals name
     
       
        Almost
        there.......       
       
        Now
        count out
        t he letters
        in that name
        on the fingers
        of the hand
        you are not
        using to
        scroll down.
              
       
        Take the
        hand you
        FIRST counted with
        and hold it out
        in front of you
        at face level              
       
        Look at your
        palm
        very closely
        and
        notice
        the
        lines
        in
        your
        hand       
       
       
        Do the lines
        take the
        form of the
        first letter
        in the
        persons name?!
        .       
       
       
        Of course not.......       
       
        Now TAKE THAT HAND AND smack
        yourself in the head, get a life,
        and
        quit playing
        stupid
        e-mail games!

       
        Don't
        tell the secret
        to others,
        just send
        them this e-mail!

I have not seen this “When Harry Met Sally” film yet, but based on the preview it is very scary and violent. I would urge you not to see this film if you have a weak stomach. It seems from this trailer to be TERRIFYING!!!!! (insert blood-curdling scream here >   <  ).

As Dale wrote in his email to me, "Who says concern with global warming is a new phenomena?"

Check out this video segment which apparently appeared on national television some time in the 1950's. It's only a very short clip but what is presented turns out to be incredibly accurate. So this is far from a new concern that we are only just now hearing about. It's been discussed for decades. People just weren't listening.

Something in here for everyone. - tj

This breaking news story just in. Thanks to our vigilant “man on the street” reporter, Dale, for this big scoop. - tj

This is one of the more cerebral contributions I have sent around recently, so you know it did not come from my dear friends and masters of refinement, Matt or Dale. :   ) Thanks to “Lord Jim” for sharing this erudite contribution. - tj

The following is from the Washington Post Style Invitational contest that asks readers to submit "instructions" for something (anything), but written in the style of a famous person. The winning entry was:

     The "Hokey Pokey" (as written by W. Shakespeare)


     O proud left foot, that ventures quick within

     Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.

     Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:

     Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.

     Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke,

     A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.

     To spin! A wilde release from Heavens yoke.

     Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.

     The Hoke, the poke -- banish now thy doubt

     Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.


                              -- by William Shakespeare

1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.

2. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country.

3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country and who are very good at crossword puzzles.

4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't really understand The New York Times. They do, however, like their statistics shown in pie charts.

5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country- - if they could find the time- - and if they didn't have to leave Southern California to do it.

6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and did a far superior job of it, thank you very much.

7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's running the country and don't really care as long as they can get a seat on the train.

8. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who's running the country as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.

9. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country but need the baseball scores.

10. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure there is a country...or that anyone is running it; but if so, they also happen to be illegal aliens from any other country or galaxy provided, of course, that they are not Republicans.

11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store.

12. None of these is read by the guy who is running the country into the ground.

My favorite two are the last two.... Thanks to Dale for sending this one
