this article in the Washington Post?

Don't get me started about all of the PC bull we have to put up with. If people would start worrying more about all the atrocities in the world, famine, wars, poverty, etc. instead of what words they find offensive, things would be a lot better on this planet. I'm getting a little sick of having to be politically correct. This is a perfect example of someone being so wrapped up in the WORD, that they forgot to consider its CONTEXT.

In basic training I had two room mates one was named David Gay; man did he get poo, mostly behind his back. I liked the guy so I stood up for him.
Hey twisted, which version of 'shake' do you own?

The last one 4.1 you have a hell of a lot of control over things although it works in nodes so it is a different way of working than say After Effects or Commotion, they work a lot like Photoshop. I like Shake for making masks among other things.

Do people find that Mr. Peanut is disturbing somehow? The character just creeps me out. (And, no, I'm not making any insinuations or criticisms of his "lifestyle orientation.")
There's just something plain "not right" about him. If he lived next store to me, I'd be afraid. Very afraid.

on a similar note, we took our 2 daughters to see a live sesame street production. I had the same feelings about elmo. Just plain wrong! a 5'2 individual in an elmo costume bouncing around......

Skippy crushed Mr. Peanut, spread him on a piece of bread and ate him. Mr. Peanut is no more....

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, RA; I've been off the board.
Yes, as another Aussie pointed out, it means "the business", which in this context meant that he drank his urine following the prescribed delay after ingestion (I think it was 20 mins or an hour).

So are mouse droppings. Never sweep or vacuum a dusty cabin, always wipe clean with a bleach/water mixture to kill the pathogenic micro organisms that can inhabit the mouse droppings and make you quite quite sick.

Young folk in Queensland have been getting off on licking cane toads' backs.
Hallucinogenic, apparently. Some have died; there was a caution issued this week.
