Jan. 7th, 2006 03:57 pmThe Hobbit Feast
"You’ve got to hand it to those hobbits, they sure know how to eat. As any self respecting fan can tell you, it takes a lot of fuel to drive the hobbit engine. That’s why they eat seven times a day. Exective chef John Bullington has created a seven meal feast, one for each of the different hobbit mealtimes (1st breakfast, 2nd breakfast, elevensies, etc.), spread out over the twelve hours it takes to watch the entire middle earth trilogy. Interpreted from actual meals referenced in the books, the Hobbit Feast is the ultimate Lord of the Rings sensory experience.

xydexx may be interested in knowing that certain segments of his website get this:
Specifically the inflatable reindeer sections.
(chuckle) QTel must be really protective of the Qatari people's tender morals. Or are afraid they'll be so overcome with wanton lust that they'll pervert the great statue of Orry by the bay......
http://www.furnitureporn.com/furnporn1.html is also blocked. Can't have people assaulting their sofas, don'tcha know...... And, just for the heck of it, Something Awful and Portal of Evil are also blocked.

"The Wall Street Journal has just reported that three Christian ministers claim to have snuck into a Senate hearing room in order to anoint the chairs that will be used for Samuel Alito's confirmation hearing next week.
"We did adequately apply oil to all the seats," the Rev. Rob Schenck tells the Journal. Schenck and his colleagues insisted that they aren't taking sides in the confirmation fight. But Schenck said that God is "interested" in "what goes on" in Alito's confirmation process."
Not taking sides.....yeah, uh-huh, right......
As someone on Fark.com pointed out:
So, in other words: A radical cleric associated with a known terrorist organization (Schenck is the co-founder of Operation Rescue) that has engaged in acts of violence against Americans invaded the Capitol building and disseminated a foreign substance in a Senate committee chamber.
Of course, I'm surprised that anything in either house of Congress, when annointed or blessed, doesn't immediately burst into flames......

Patronizing a prostitute is now a specific crime for servicemembers (Stars and Stripes)
"For the first time, the Department of Defense has specifically made it a crime for a servicemember to patronize a prostitute. The punishment: up to a year in prison, forfeiture of pay and dishonorable discharge.
The formal order came in a presidential executive order signed without fanfare Oct. 14, directing changes in the Manual for Courts-Martial. It is part of an assault the military has been waging against human trafficking.
A Defense Department spokeswoman, Lt. Col. Ellen Krenke, said in an e-mailed response to questions that “prostitution” and “pandering” will now be among the offenses covered by Article 134 of the courts-martial manual."
I can see this policy making sense in an area in which the practice is illegal. However, in areas in which the practice is legal, it seems like it could be, at best, a detriment to morale. At worse, I can see it leading to other, more serious problems.
