news around the globule

news from literatiland: been reading bridget jones's diary, and everything sounds better in bridgetspeak. for instance, going to the vending machine for a package of cookies is piglike, but nipping down to the vendo for a packet of biscuits is fun & perky.

news from irony corner: it's national gambling awareness week, and the multistate mega millions lotto (not powerball... the other one) is at its highest level ever. tickets were going out yesterday at a pace of 1 million per hour. that's 1 million tickets per hour. now that's an awareness of gambling, eh?

news from jerkyville: upon my bording the van yesterday afternoon, jerky was actively conversing with p-x about the titans. continued his ignorant commentary, clearly echoing frank wycheck, not having an opinion of his own. at any rate, managed to squoze in a fun & perky see you in the morning upon debording.

news from 24 town: jack bauer pronounces nuclear nuquoolar. that is, he pronounces it wrongly.
