Remember, they give these people drivers licenses, too.

I think someone needs to point out to newspapers and magazines that their online versions need copy editing as much (if perhaps not MORE) than the hard copy versions.

A rumor started this morning that actor Patrick Swayze had died. A number of outlets are reporting this as untrue. One states as the headline that Patrick Swayze Claims He Is Not Dead.

Um... he's TELLING you that he's not dead, not claiming he's not. "He claimed that the press treated him poorly" would be true - "He claims the illness hasn't effected him" is another. Or even (probably what they really meant) "His SPOKESPERSON claims he's not dead".

I mean, really people.

If you aren't going to use it... don't buy it...

I was taking a quick walk to the Mart, and there was a "damsel in distress" who had left her lights on or something. She needed a jump start. A big ass V8 Toyota Tundra with the extra big wheels and the "I'm a tough guy" package was parked, blocking the street (Kinzie) next to her, and the owner was standing in front of it. As I approached, the woman was returning with one of the workers from one of the buildings right there, and he had to show the owner of the Tundra how to pop his hood so that he could give the D.I.D. a jump.

Maybe someone else also shows him how to unzip his fly...

(on a side note to jer_ - McDs has a new shake, the Minty Mudslide or something - it's a Shamrock shake, in a chocolate base instead of the vanilla. Just thought you should know that.)
