Congratulations.  I won't complain with third.

Russel Brand was entitled to $40,000,000 of Katy Perry's money after their divorce but refused to take a penny.

Meanwhile, one of the apparent reasons Robin Williams was depressed was because his ex took him for everything he had.

People also reports that Moore, a former dental nurse, is entitled to half of any film residuals Gibson receives for the rest of his life.

My state of Louisiana is supposedly the happiest state in the US, and has the five top happiest cities in the country, and I don't believe a damn bit of it.

For the Trekkies or is that Trekkers? Ok for the nerds amongst us.

Here is a short documentary (mockumentary) of the Four Year War between the Federation and the Kligons referenced in an episode of the Original Series. This is the Prelude to a Feature film. Here is their kickstarter campaign.

The film is shot really well and the special effects are amazing for the budget.

Yeah, but there are millions of degrees between 0 and 360. That compass shit isn't easy to learn.

Actually, whichever scale you are using to measure, there's only a three hundred and sixty difference between zero and three hundred and sixty degrees...

I think (and I guess with my limited knowledge of temperature) that you mean there are a whole bunch of degrees from 0 to the hottest that can be measured (in Kelvins?)...

Three-sixty (times ten) barely heats up my leftover pizza in twenty minutes...  and that's NOT a convection oven...

The compass has only two pi radians or something, again, not a mathematician (maths?) guy here...

Exactly.  I couldn't even tell you had been drinking.

[pate]

I did say three-sixty (times ten) which would be thirty-six hundred...  Again, I assume Kelvins...

Let's not talk about Melivans the Atomic Avenger(s)...

WTF? A couple weeks ago I reported that I had heard or read that Australia was was the "happiest" country in the world and you refuted it! Ya numbskull! ;-)

I love NY, but why does everything smell like urine?

I love NY, but why does everything smell like urine?

It's an acquired taste. You'll come to appreciate all the unique notes and flavors in different neighborhoods.

[UnscreenedCaller]

I love NY, but why does everything smell like urine?

Mostly because NYers are known for taking the piss. We just take that literally.

I saw a homeless dude take it out and piss right onto the street from the sidewalk. Perhaps there is your answer.

I really wish sarcasm could be inflected in the written and typed word. I know there are 360 degrees in a circle. 60 minutes in each degree, and 60 seconds in each  minute of each degree. And 0 Kelvin is minus 273.16 (usually rounded to 274) Centigrade.

BA

I received my order of personalized checks today - haven't had to order any since the Great Relocation. Looking at this fresh design, I believe it is time for a new leather checkbook cover.

My current black vinyl cover - gold-stamped with Page's ZOSO emblem - is looking more like a smeared Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.

I must locate an old world leather artisan to skillfully apply the likeness of the head of a jester on one flap, and the words Joke Book emblazoned Sgt. Pepper-styled on the other, with clouds, stars, and lightning bolts. The leather will be in a hue of orange that Hermès of Paris would be proud to call its own.

This batch of checks will last so long that one of them will be used to pay for my funeral arrangements.

(Though they do accept them, using a credit card at Cooper-Sorrell's Funeral Home in Bonham, Texas would be akin to wearing a KISS shirt to a job interview with a law firm.)

After my demise, I will leave the checkbook cover to a cop friend I've known since seventh grade. He will own it for three months before being shot to death by a meth dealer on the bad side of town six months before retirement. So it goes.

Daniel N_____ never liked to wear his vest. Perhaps he would have worn it more often, had it been as cool as my checkbook cover.

After Dan's death and courtesy of his estranged wife, the checkbook cover turns up in Kingfisher, OK at a Goodwill thrift store. It is marked at ninety-nine cents. They will agreeably charge only fifty cents to a haggler who will then sell it at auction for one hundred seventy-five dollars.
