Oh Yeah!

The sequel -- titled "The Passion of the Clerks" -- is set to begin shooting in January. Miramax Films, which turned the original into a cult-hit after buying it at the Sundance Film Festival, plans to distribute the follow-up.

So far, he said he has gotten only positive responses from the people who have read the script, so he decided to move forward with it. Both O'Halloran and Anderson are signed on, and Jason Mewes, will return as stoner Jay, the "hetero life-mate" of Smith's stoic Silent Bob.

"hetero life-mate" ? Hmmm. Interesting use of words...

From the Onion:

WASHINGTON, DC—The 22 battleground states in the 2004 presidential election said Monday that they have received threats, both direct and veiled, from Kerry and Bush campaign operatives. "Now, you listen up, Iowa—you're voting for Kerry, see, and you're gonna like it," an unidentified Kerry-Edwards thug allegedly told the Midwestern state, which controls seven electoral votes. "Youse got some real nice agribusiness in your state. Sure would be a shame to see you lose it. Get the picture?" In a similar vein, should Ohio's 20 votes not end up in the red column, a team of Bush's goons has allegedly threatened to throw the state's several thousand wheelchair-bound grandmothers down a flight of stairs.

TORONTO, Ontario (Reuters) -- Somewhere in Canada there are thieves with nearly 50,000 cans of beer they will have a hard time selling, although police said Thursday the truck driver who disappeared with the loot has been arrested.

The shipment of Moosehead beer, worth over C$75,000 ($57,000), was on its way to Mexico from an East Coast brewery when it went missing, along with the driver.

The transport truck was recovered last week -- still running -- in Grand Falls, New Brunswick, but with most of its cargo missing.
...
The shipment of Moosehead was labeled in English and Spanish for export to Mexico, so it could not be sold in Canada. Nor could it be shipped into or through the United States without proper documentation.

"Its one of these classic, dumb-crook stories," said Joel Levesque, a spokesman for Moosehead.

"They can't sell it anywhere in Canada without giving away the immediate fact that it's been stolen... So we have crooks stuck with 50,000 plus cans of beer that basically they can't fence."

Pretty loose and over-generalized science IMHO... You could apply similar theories and findings to Krispy Kreme donuts, Frappuccinos or egad, Hooters Chicken Wings if you really tried. Researchers will turn us into a society of total food-o-phobics within 20 yrs. Phuckit. You only live once.

ROFL.. Look out for double secret online probation!

MINNEAPOLIS, MN—Capella University, one of the nation's most heavily trafficked institutions of online learning, issued a stern disciplinary e-mail message to the members of the disorderly Alpha Sigma Sigma online fraternity Monday.
"Alpha Sigma Sigma has not only broken the rules included in each distance learner's Online Application User Agreement, but they have also continually thwarted our efforts to create a serious online-learning community and an inclusive e-campus," Capella Dean of Students Theodore Albertson said. "This rowdy fraternity has been a thorn in the school's side for years, and frankly, we've had enough."

Since opening its Capella chapter in 1996, the online fraternity has been cited numerous times for conducting illicit co-ed chatroom parties and circulating anti-administration QuickTime videos. In 1999, the university officially censured Alpha Sigma Sigma for conducting illegal hazing activities, in which pledges were coerced into participating in lewd and embarrassing acts via webcam.

Street Stunterz Suxx! GROW THE F*CK UP!

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) -- Authorities are searching for a pack of highway stunt motorcyclists blamed for a wreck that seriously hurt five people in a sport utility vehicle.

A handful of motorcyclists were on Highway 364 Saturday when they changed lanes and cut off a Ford Explorer, forcing that vehicle to swerve to the right and hit a Chevrolet Suburban.

The Suburban tumbled down an embankment, ejecting most of its eight occupants. Five people in that vehicle were seriously injured; the other three sustained lesser harm. Only one was wearing a seat belt.
...
By some accounts, a chase vehicle was filming the motorcyclists.

Super cool glimpse into the greener future options of 2 wheeling..

During light-throttle cruising or closed-throttle deceleration, the power from the internal combustion engine is used to charge the batteries while the electric motor is left to provide drive. When the batteries are fully charged the internal combustion engine can shut itself down, allowing the vehicle to cruise solely on electric power.

According to Honda "These advanced features allow the hybrid scooter to achieve 1.6 times the fuel economy of the Dio Z4 (when riding on flat ground at 30 km/h) and to produce 37% less carbon dioxide". The Dio Z4 is a similarly-sized Honda 50cc scooter which uses a traditional internal-combustion engine.

I was not aware you could Chauffeur a Donkey....

Osama bin Laden’s chauffeur was arraigned today in the first US military commissions since the Second World War as the man’s lawyer challenged the very basis of the hearings.

Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a 34-year-old Yemeni, entered the pre-trial hearing without shackles or handcuffs, in a white flowing robe as he put on headphones to hear an Arabic interpreter.

He appeared at ease, smiling and chuckling, even after conspiracy charges were explained a second time.

Hamdan has said he earned a pittance for his family as Osama bin Laden’s driver prior to the September 11 attack, but he has denied involvement in terrorism.

US officials allege he served as the al-Qaida leader’s bodyguard and delivered weapons to his operatives.
