Up until a week ago, I was completely unaware there was a sequel to "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes", let alone THREE. I hold several members of this board fully responsible for MY ignorance in these matters.

We were trying to protect you! We just didn't think it was time yet to have that conversation.

Also, I didn't know that one of the writers, who also acted in some of the sequels was Rick Rockwell. He's the "Who Wants to Marry a Multi-millionaire" guy. Bummer for him it didn't work out between him and Darva, she sure wasn't hard to look at.

Who the heck green lit that idea?
It's been my personal experience, nobody's that desperate, especially if they say so.

Anybody remember that proofreading contest Andrew had a couple years ago?

I was so enthusiastic about winning, that I put it on my cover letter for a job application.

So, anyway, over the last couple of months, I've had a few encounters at WalMart with this middle aged Asian woman who asks me if I can look over some reports for her. Apparently, she uses some sort of Korean to English translator software, & the resulting documents need plenty of corrections in grammar.

So, it's got me wondering; Is there any way to get a job doing this sort of thing? Like, actually getting paid just to proofread stuff?

Job? Yeah.  Career? Nah.

I don't care what Edgar Allen Poe says, the narrator was not rescued at the end of "The Pit and the Pendulum."

If I were a single guy, I'd go to the supermarket on Friday nights.  The women are 20 times better looking than some of the trash you run into at local dive bars.

These things Wile. E uses to deliver explosives like this, is there are a name for them? I've seen these on TV and elsewhere (even made one in shop class), and have NEVER known the name of it, or if it even has a name.

I don't like the fact Orange is ALWAYS a flavor option in posicle boxes.  I hate Orange and there always seems to be more of them in a box.

Why can't I find properly fitting underwear? Every article of it I own either rides up my ass or hangs loosely off it.  Are they simply designed to have no middle ground, or do I just have a weird ass?

I have the same problem.
What bugs me, is that they tend to come in a size 34"-36", which is a tad snug, or a size 38"-40", which is a tad baggy, but never in a size 36"-38".
