what this is

'stina is, surprisingly enough, a lawyer from Houston, Texas who rambles about quite a number of things.

I used to keep a list of blogs that I read here, but now I generally use my rss feed on google, which has well over 100 links. Look for me over there.

	We have a piper down...
	Charlie Mackenzie: Hey Mom, I find it interesting that you refer to the Weekly World News as, "The paper." The paper contains facts. May Mackenzie: This paper contains facts. And this paper has the eighth highest circulation in the whole wide world. Right? Plenty of facts. "Pregnant man gives birth." That's a fact. So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993) It seems that the Weekly World News is no longer "The paper." MIAMI (Reuters) - Publisher American Media Inc. said on Tuesday it will stop printing the Weekly World News, which for 28 years gleefully chronicled the exploits of alien babies, animal-human hybrids and dead celebrities. The company said in a brief statement it would end the print version of the tabloid newspaper next month but would maintain the online version (www.weeklyworldnews.com). "Due to the challenges in the retail and wholesale magazine marketplace that have impacted the newsstand, American Media, Inc. today announced it will close the print version of the Weekly World News, effective with the August 27 issue. Weekly World News was AMI's smallest weekly publication," the company said in a statement e-mailed to Reuters. sniff How will I learn about the accuracy of Nostradaumus's predictions if I can no longer rely on the Weekly World News while I'm standing in the check out line? Not to mention chupacabra sightings. Tags: media

For a second I thought you were talking about my friends' band The Piper Downs (named after that scene).

I read about that yesterday. They had a nice pic of Bat Boy included. :)

I then thought, well, how are the Men in Black going to keep track of alien activity? (MIB was just on recently)

And damn, the Quibbler reference above is awesome. ;)
