Oh my.. This is the winning quote:

In the meantime, I had become obsessed with demonic Heavy Metal music, something the rest of my family (as I now realize, rightfully so) was not happy with. My entire life was focused on expanding my music collection. I eschewed personal cleanliness and let my room reach an unbelievable state of disarray. My relationship with my parents became strained, although only intermittently so. I am sorry even as I write this.

Ahem.. :) Hear that America? Heavy Metal music leads to terrorism. Really. This is the proof we have been looking for. This is all because of mistakes during the 80's. Its all true. Great White got exactly what they had coming. Remember, that Walker character was into hip-hop. Clearly American culture is devoid of any morals. Shesh. Its all been downhill since disco.

Where is that fine line between a Metal Head growing a mp3 collection, and a terrorist plotting to destroy America? [u: likely answer: A pre-2001 trip to Afghanistan.] Were the Columbine kids terrorists waiting to happen? Will Metallica soon breakup like KMFDM did in the wake of the shootings? If apprehended with a sizable mp3 collection, will this lead to more RIAA lawsuits? Why are all the non-arab terrorists from California when New Jersey is similarly shaped? The answers to these questions and other's coming soon.. Stay tuned to this same terror channel, same terror time..

RE: FBI searches for Stoner - Metal Head - Islamic Terrorist

] I am sorry to report that much of Elena's story is not
] true. She did not travel around the zone by herself on a
] motorcycle. Motorcycles are banned in the zone, as is
] wandering around alone, without an escort from the zone
] administration. She made one trip there with her husband
] and a friend. They traveled in a Chornobyl car that
] picked them up in Kyiv.
]
] She did, however, bring a motorcycle helmet. They
] organized their trip through a Kyiv travel agency and the
] administration of the Chornobyl zone (and not her
] father). They were given the same standard excursion that
] most Chernobyl tourists receive. When the Web site
] appeared, Zone Administration personnel were in an uproar
] over who approved a motorcycle trip in the zone. When it
] turned out that the motorcycle story was an invention,
] they were even less pleased about this fantasy Web site.
]
] Because of those problems, Elena and her husband have
] changed the Web site and the story considerably in the
] last few days. Earlier versions of the narrative lied
] more blatantly about Elena taking lone motorcycle trips
] in the zone. That has been changed to merely suggest that
] she does so, which is still misleading.

The photos were very cool. However, everything else you know is a lie force fed to you by the KGB.

More pictures of the Palace demolition.

] ASBURY PARK -- Palace Amusements -- the complex that has
] long stood in the center of a historic preservation
] debate in the redeveloping city -- stands intact no more.

Complete with depressing pictures.

No reprieve for Palace

] WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Spanky, a clown with the renowned
] Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, has been
] arrested on charges stemming from a child pornography
] investigation, law enforcement officials said Tuesday.

See? Clowns are just plain evil. Especially ones named SPANKY.

] NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Rival street gangs the Crips and
] Bloods have agreed to a truce in Newark, New Jersey,
] aimed at stemming the violence that has plagued the city
] and gone too far for even the gang members, officials
] said Tuesday.

] In 1995, only 56 R2 models were produced, and only 18
] were black, making this car fairly hard to come by.

Awwwwwwwwwwww YES!
We finally bought an RX-7.
It's black. It's shiny. It's rare. :)
I will post pictures when we pick it up.

Our new baby

] LAKEWOOD -- A 25-year-old father has been charged with
] child endangerment after his 7-month-old son was found
] dead in the back seat of his car yesterday. The man
] apparently forgot the infant was secured in a car seat,
] and the boy was been left in the car for at least four
] hours, police said.
"It's the rarest thing you'll ever find," said Yakov Williams, 29, of Lakewood. "People care about their children in this community more than in any community you'll ever find."

--------------------------------------------------------------
That statement is such bullshit. This happens at least once a summer in "this community". I'm sorry, but they have so many kids, they don't even know which ones are where, what their names are, etc...
Yes, I feel sorry for the family. I'm sorry that they are so STUPID and THOUGHTLESS and KILLED THEIR CHILD.
I'm pretty damned mad. It happens -every summer- in that town. And it's always the same people.

] LAKEWOOD -- Two men sat on the steps of First Baptist
] Church the other day at 7 a.m. -- they woke up two hours
] earlier -- just for the privilege of toiling all day as
] per-diem landscapers, construction workers or ditch
] diggers.
]
] The pair of Mexican natives sat and hoped for some
] contractor to drive along Clifton Avenue, stop in front
] of their perch at the corner of First Street and offer a
] job.
]
] They just want to work, they say.
]
] To do that, though, they have no choice but to wait at
] Lakewood's unofficial muster zone.
]
] That's a problem.
