I was doing a little research for my parents upcoming anniversary and found this site. I was amazed at the assortment they had. I swear they thought of every possible occasion. It is pretty amusing.

I want to see this, but I am worried. I mean, all the Alien movies, and all the Predator movies have been rated R. Put them together, its needs to be NC-17 or X for it to rule. I won't settle for anything less than hot Alien on Predator action!

[ We saw it last night... i wouldn't characterize it as "GO SEE THIS RIGHT NOW" or anything, but it was reasonably entertaining for a crappy action movie. If you're expecting Alien, or even Alien^3, that's not what you get. It was just what I expected all in all. If you prefer the suspense of these creatures stalking each other in half lit scenes, never quite getting a full view of either, you won't like it. This is action flick, head on, slo-cam ass kicking. It's good for that, but it's not like the others. -k]

Good tech site.

[ Interesting to see this get resurrected. The 4 element thread spans about 3 years, as people discover and meme the dot.

I've been reading it for what seems like eternity (user 15012) and i still check it every day, at least once. I don't spend much time in the threads, but I do meme stories I find there, so it's clearly still relevant to me. Do other old-time slashdot readers still find it worthwhile? -k]

POVCOMP 2004: Hall of Fame

You have GOT to be kidding... Saw an ad for this on the tube this morning.
Too much work... too many errands... too many soccer practices. Too much stress... too much anxiety... too little time! Too little of you to go around. Too little rest... too little relaxation... too little tranquility. You need a little bliss!

Imagine yourself in a beautiful alpine chalet. You’re seated in a soft leather recliner, in front of a roaring fireplace, listening to the enchanting melodies of a baby grand. The mouth-watering aroma of fresh baked breads and cookies is tempting your willpower, and the soothing sound water is washing your tension far, far away. All the while you’re eagerly anticipating your hot stone massage.

This must be a luxurious spa high in the rockies!

No, you’re at Dentalbliss Spa in Franklin. Hard to imagine that dentistry and bliss actually belong side by side. Now for the first time, these seemingly opposite ideas are woven and melded together for the ultimate dental experience.

Everything at Dentalbliss has been meticulously designed as a feast for your senses. You’ll first notice the 2-acre, natural wooded setting of our chalet-inspired facilty, featuring 2 babbling creeks fed by a 150-year-old springhouse with a working spring. Walking trails meander throughout the park-like setting. Once inside, warm woods, natural stone, 60-foot vaulted ceilings and an expanse of glass invite the tranquility of the outdoors in. Ten fireplaces, two high-definition plasma tv’s, nine aquariums, a full range of massage and aesthetic care, live piano music, even childcare... all serve to relax, pamper and indulge you.

[ That's absurd. -k]

Dental Bliss Spa?

This article points to one of many of my problems with organized religion. What has the content of the wafer has to do with accepting Jesus as your Savior? Why should the content of the wafer have anything to do with your acceptance into the church?

More importantly, do the church leaders honestly think that Jesus Christ would deny this little girl communion on account of a digestive order?

[ Because, dude, if it's not wheat it won't *actually* transmute into the body of Christ. Only wheat has the power to become the flesh of Jesus. Rice wafers only transmute into Jesus' sweat, or if you're really lucky, a hair or something. And that's just not sufficient. I guess she'll just have to burn in hell.

Stupid religion. Morons seem to attribute a lot of hateful and malicious viewpoints to Jesus. If the word Christian actually meant "follower of the teachings of Jesus" rather than "psychotic, rigid, moralist who conflates any part of the bible necessary to reinforce hate and bigotry" i might still call myself one. -k]

] ...[Iraqi midfielder Salih] Sadir had a message for U.S.
] president George W. Bush, who is using the Iraqi Olympic team
] in his latest re-election campaign advertisements.
]
] In those spots, the flags of Iraq and Afghanistan appear
] as a narrator says, "At this Olympics there will be two
] more free nations -- and two fewer terrorist regimes."
]
] "Iraq as a team does not want Mr. Bush to use us for the
] presidential campaign," Sadir told SI.com through a
] translator, speaking calmly and directly. "He can find
] another way to advertise himself."
]
] Ahmed Manajid, who played as a midfielder on Wednesday,
] had an even stronger response when asked about Bush's TV
] advertisement. "How will he meet his god having
] slaughtered so many men and women?" Manajid told me. "He
] has committed so many crimes."

[ You'd think they might have asked first.

The team coach weighed in as well, saying, "What is freedom when I go to the [national] stadium and there are shootings on the road?" -k]

This pretty much sums up why I hate apple weenies.

[ Yeah, tards come in all flavors. Fortunately it doesn't matter. What will kill real is the fact that they have *no* product differentiation, and a nasty stigma from past indiscretions. I have somewhat mixed feelings on this particular case, but it seemed pretty pointless. If they offered a bigger or better selection than iTMS, then there would be incentive to care. But they never bothered to convince anyone why they should bother to use the Real store. -k]

] Q On behalf of Vietnam veterans -- and I served six tours
] over there -- we do support the President. I only have
] one concern, and that's on the Purple Heart, and that is,
] is that there are over 200,000 Vietnam vets that died
] from Agent Orange and were never -- no Purple Heart has
] ever been awarded to a Vietnam veteran because of Agent
] Orange because it's never been changed in the
] regulations. Yet, we've got a candidate for President out
] here with two self-inflicted scratches, and I take that
] as an insult. (Applause.)
]
] THE PRESIDENT: Well, I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank
] you for your service. Six tours? Whew. That's a lot of
] tours.
]
] Let's see, who've we got here? You got a question?

[ Whew! Fabulous answer.

I will say that Bush gave an actually decent response to the next completely asinine question: "I've heard through the grapevine that Oregon is one of the most unchurched states in the union, and I really feel like it shows up in every walk of our society. Could you take a moment to pray for Oregon, for us, right now?"

"Um, Mr. President, could you please, right now, publicly endorse my narrow and ridiculous viewpoint, and in so doing, tread the line of stomping the constitution? That'd be great."

I almost wonder if this was a sneaky democrat trying to trick Bush into something suicidally dumb, but then i remember how many people really, actually are like this. -k]
