My mother shares that lake chain with Tiger and neither she nor the neighbors are too content with regatta going on. Windermere residents have been closing the public boat launches (Lake Louise is on a chain of lakes with canals that connect and there is a launch on Lake Butler that is public and one farther in Windermere on a lake that I can never place no matter how many times we have launched from it) which has been annoying for residents of Windermere who lack good lake access. This nonsense is only going to punish residents. Leave the cheater alone already.

@Zombies make the heart grow fonder: When it says that they tried to catch him, in my mind I am imagining everybody in those tiny, single sail boats you learned how to sail in and they're all twisted up in the robes in an epic race through this lake chain which I assume is connected by locks in a level ending sort of way. I would be pissed if I paid a bunch of money to live on a lake and that shit was happening. I grew up on a bay, you don't pull that kind of stalkarazzi shit on Green Bay.
A GOAT! That is an awesome idea. I went over to the Oxfam site because of that little blurb up there and ended up getting a health kit, set of books, and a headstart package to help a girl go to school, all in my niece's name. My niece is 10 and very excited about helping others, I think she will love getting this as one of her xmas gifts (along with the DS game she requested). The idea of helping another little girl go to school will really capture her heart and her imagination.
@PrettyPrettyPrincess: I got my dad and his wife a couple of goats as their wedding present a few years ago. It was the talk of the day with everyone. I recommend it if you need a gift for someone who has everything or you don't know well enough to do something personal.
I really want to get someone a hive of bees this year...but who to choose?
Bowie is a stage name. David Bowie's real last name is Jones, but he changed it because at the time of his break-out, there was a Monkee with the same name. His family has always had the name Jones. That exwife who stalkd him and went by Bowie in the news and started the Bowie/Jaggar affair rumor? Was a fucking nut case. Toni Collette's character in Velvet Goldmine is based on her and Toni toned it down.
Anyway. Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones was never named Bowie.
Re: Oxfam goats. My coworker and her husband decided instead of giving Christmas presents to each other they'd take their present budget and go shopping for a local food pantry that is hard core struggling to keep up with demand.
I think it's an AWESOME idea, and I encourage everyone this year to at least consider donating a little bit more than they usually do, even if it's an extra can of food or two more.
@Penny: Totally. Their relationship cracks me up. I think they are both into the banter. That's what my mom and I do; it's like a fencing match when we're together. It's fun.
@sarah.of.a.lesser.god (aka Mrs. BrutallyHonestHobbit): We can start with off twitter, then proceed to the inevitable sequel Snakes on a Spaceship. We cast hateful has-beens and toxic reality stars in the "film" and then release the most venomous snakes on the planet.

lindsey, i'm sure if anyone even recognizes you in india, you will be the least of their concerns. food and NOT BEING A HUMAN SLAVE will probably take precedence.
@berlitzfrench: per the post, she is going there to make a documentary about human trafficking. ergo, the people she's there to document are most likely bound to be both.
and yes, feel free to typecast the US that way. glenn beck does so if you did, you wouldn't be alone.
@hughman: Sorry, but when you say "anyone even recognizes you," I took it to mean that you were talking of the country as a whole, not the people she was there to interview. Glenn Beck? Glenn Beck? Great. Now I'm going to have freaking nightmares.
@LadySoprano is a Fat-Fighting Superwoman: I have a feeling it wasn't as bad as it seems in print - Alexis is an incredibly sarcastic and dry person. Have you seen her show "Whatever Martha?" it's a HILARIOUS Mystery Science Theater 3000 style show that Alexis and her friend do with old Martha Stewart reruns. But Martha actually introduces the show and supplies them with all the absurd footage, so it seems she has given Alexis permission to skewer her uptight image for humor.
I hate the term "love child", seems like if you have to call it anything other than a child it should be something like "fuck child" or "drunken mistake child".
