___ok... this is kind of funny, but it's also kind of not funny. apparantly they got rid of the the microsoft office paperclip because it sucked, but now they are using it as part of an XP advertizing campaign. "Buy XP because... no paperclip." so there are 3 animated movies showing the paperclip (which i refuse to call "clippy") getting the news about being killed off. who else could be cast in this demanding role but Gilbert Godfried. i really can't believe that he's this hard up for a job after the overwhelming success of hollywood squares 2000. anyway, the movies are funny until they start promoting XP. then it is, as we say... no longer funny. but for a moment it is funny. more importantly is the fact that they seriously made 3 freaking movies starring gilbert godfried as the voice of the office assistant! i mean... why stop there. if you're going to do something this stupid, then can't we also get John Goodman as the voice of the dog? Jennene Garafalo as the cat. Ray Romano as Einstein, James Earl Jones as the glowing Office Logo, and Andy Dick as the bouncing ball.posted by Adam 9/26/2002 01:52:00 PM

___"Bumfights, Vol 1" -- touted by its producers as "the fastest-selling independent video" featuring "drunks" and "crackheads" -- shows bedraggled men engaging in fistfights and acts of self-abuse, such as running headlong into steel doors and leaping off bridges."posted by Adam 9/25/2002 05:03:00 PM

___As a loyal ACA intern who dedicates all of my waking hours to the ACA and ACA-related activities, I have to ask why we have not yet seen any photographs following the big ACA outing on Saturday night. Sure, some might say the outing was actually in honor of "Tom's birthday", but we all know what the night was really about.posted by Dave 9/25/2002 02:47:00 PM

___Remember the dark ages when we had to watch football games and frantically wonder if our favorite player got that all-important first down when we were down by 20? Well, thanks to the yellow line, those days are behind us. Therefore, it only stands to reason that someone would set up The Fan Site for the Yellow Line.posted by Dave 9/24/2002 03:15:00 PM

___Now, not only will you know the proper racial slur to use in any location, but now you can learn to swear in different languages. Those international trips will never be the same.posted by Dave 9/06/2002 01:57:00 PM

___There's no better way to broaden your knowledge of racial slurs than an entire Racial Slur Database. For instance, did you ever think of calling a French Canadian a "Frozen Frog"? I sure didn't.posted by Dave 9/05/2002 01:48:00 PM

___More wash for your "woop". Remember how high tech NU was with those washing machines you could pay for with your husky debit card ? I guess now the new thing is "eSuds". IBM came out with this thing at BC where kids can check on a website to see if a washing machine in their dorm is empty, instead of walking all the way down to the basement. Then you can add fabric softener from your room, instead of doing it while you're down there. Then it tells you when it's done. Seems like a good idea. PROs: Not having to sit around waiting in the laundry room all day, reading last week's NU NEWS that you found on the floor and listening to the banging sounds of sexual whatnot in the next door janitor's closet. CONs: Less revinue for janitor closet prostitutes. Less readership for NU news. Some hacker kids are gonna get into this and lock up all the machines in protest until the school succumb to their demands.posted by Adam 9/04/2002 11:28:00 AM
