___This is a dumb story about a british woman dying while playing bingo, and the people refusing to stop calling numbers even while the paramedics were giving her CPR on the floor. But the part I don't get is how they constantly refer to her as "the mum". It's even in the headline. "Mum dies while playing Bingo". "BINGO hall staff carried on calling a game after a mum fell dying with a heart attack." "paramedics who rushed to the scene made attempts to resuscitate the stricken mum-of-two." "Heartbroken Joanne has placed a moving death notice in her local paper paying tribute to “the best mum in the world”. I mean... is that the way they do it over there? "Granny wins lotto." "Pa in car accident." "Worthless nephew arrested for drug posession."posted by Adam 10/25/2002 10:56:00 AM

“Sure, I’ve broken a couple of Commandments in my day. I’ve told a few white lies. I shoplifted a couple things when I was a kid. And I think my neighbor’s wife is pretty hot. “But this punishment is way out of line for those sins. The Big Guy is going to have to settle with me on this one.”

___In keeping with the ACA car update motif, here's an interactive page that allows you to create a ride. Make sure that you change the backdrop when you make the new car, because it's one of the funniest parts (and very foretelling of what we can expect from the ACA wheelz).posted by Dave 10/18/2002 01:10:00 PM

___In yet another example of how real life imitates The Simpsons (which mocks real life), the space program is trying to (ha ha ha) "Boost" its popularity with a public relations stunt that should "Launch" their ratings into the "Stratosphere". (ha ha ha ha ha ha... ok... i'll stop now.)posted by Adam 10/01/2002 02:17:00 PM
i guess they're strapping a camera onto the top of the thing, or something. unfortunately, i'm having a tough time making something out of this otherwise lame blog entry (let's face it... the only reason i saw it is because of the word "Simpsons").
"Houstin, we've got a problem. These Nielsen ratings are the lowest ever!"
