It is a little scary. We don't get too many warnings here but more in recent years than it used to be. I don't think I'd like living where earthquakes are common, but I guess every area has its own natural disaster risk. Just a part of life.

Everything here was fine, nothing major, but I heard last night that a HS lost it's roof about an hour or so from here. My main concern is always the trees close to my house. A few of them are HUGE and would do some real damage if they came down!

Something funny and MM related happened and you aren't here to tell!!! The World at Large just came on...freaky.

And I just listened to the whole song without clicking reply. Floatin on. Hope you're doing the same if not better!

I feel like I have a scene of Apocalypse Now playing over my head. (Think choppers with music). There is a LOT of aid going to Texas from Fort Benning, Ga., and their aerial route is taking these chopper squads right over my house.

Da, dada da daaaaa da, da dada da daaaa, da dadada da da da DAAAAA!

That movie trailer for Burn After Reading keeps making me lose it!

Brad Pitt getting punched in the nose! Funny every time.

(How did he NOT flinch?)

Happy Autumnal Equinox, Gonzo!

It's that time of year already? Holy crap. Happy day, Gonzo!

Today I saw the very best car magnet I've seen to date:

"SOME ASSHOLE STOLE MY SUPPORT MAGNET!"

I don't have any car magnets on my car, but I kinda want that one.

Holy Crap! My favorite thread is still up there on the first page. I've been missing you guys, and have been incredibly busy. It's been an awesome week for us, after all the tragedy we've been through. Patton's on Conan now so I'm outta here, but I just wanted to check in and say hey to everyone. Someone PM me, and give me a recap of all the crazy that's been going on since my absence.

Hari Puttar outduels Harry Potter
04:36 PM PT, Sep 22 2008

In a serious David vs. Goliath win for the little guy, Mirchi Movies, the makers of the Bollywood film "Hari Puttar," stood up to Warner Bros. and, in what turns out to be a last-second ruling, will be allowed to release the film this Friday (Sept. 26) in India.

The studio had claimed that the title sounded too similar to the boy wizard and J.K. Rowling money tree that is "Harry Potter," but the Delhi High Court threw out the case, basically saying that anyone who'd read Harry Potter would be able to distinguish the two films/titles. Wand, meet gavel.

Attorney Pratibha Singh told the AFP: "The case has been dismissed. The court said that Warner Bros had known the title of the film since 2005 and had delayed bringing the case to court until the last moment."

The case also seemed to hinge on the fact that Warner Bros. knew about the title three years ago, and waited until the film was about to be released to bring up this suit.

Good for the film, the filmmakers and the legal system for giving a common-sense ruling. If anyone should be mad, it's the "Home Alone" people! Here's a look:
