There were a few phoned-in bomb threats, but it didn't disrupt the school day. Sometimes the police were called in to break up fights.

True, but considering that the series is from the early '90s, it's appropriate.

I'll buy it if I have the cash.

I'm glad I found this thread. I graduated college last month and I need something to supplement my freelance work until I get a second job. I thought about doing surveys before but I wasn't sure if those things were just a scam. I'll look into the ones that have been mentioned here.

I used to use Paint Shop Pro in high school but I hated it because of the way it renders text. (I was using an earlier version, so I don't know if things have improved since then.) I switched to Photoshop CS the summer before I entered college because I was fed up with PSP and I had an excuse to pla...

I never follow sports, but this year I <em>have</em> to care about the Super Bowl...I'm from Chicago. The last time the Bears were in the Super Bowl I was gestating inside my mother's body. It'll be nice to be able to see the TV this time.

And I know why everything happens. But none of it was funny. The film was a "comedy" ?? I felt dejected after this film was over. Not lighthearted, sad-happy or thoughtful. You're obviously not familliar with the term "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_comedy">bla...

I may be the only one in the world who thinks this, but I did NOT like Little Miss Sunshine. I went into it expecting a really funny, feel-good movie, and left with a crushed and depressed feeling. I don't see the comedy in Dot losing the contest, the grandfather dying, the grandfather being a perv...

Ephiphany is celebrated as a feast day in the Catholic Church, though its celebration in America is not as major as it used to be. I was in the Catholic school system for seven years and it was barely mentioned.

Disney Duster was making a pun on "laxative."

I have cats myself, and fortunately neither one has ever experienced constipation. Try some canned pumpkin; it's full of fiber and most cats like the taste. If that doesn't work, you'll definitely need to go to the vet.

The apostrophe needs to be there because it signifies that the N is shorthand for "and" and not just a letter.
