Doug, you're not doing any shock and awe-ing, are you?

Not so far as I know. I'm not terribly military - more of a "make love, not war" type.
You noticed I changed my catchphrase below? There's a reason for that.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Doug Spaulding,

The Jar...that was a creeepy story. I'm always a little surprised by Ray, he seems like such a positive, spiritual person, but boy, can he envision some sick and twisted stuff. Ones that creeped me out the worst are The Jar, The Small Assassin, The Skeleton (the description of that one even creeped out a young friend of mine, who grew up on violent movies)and The Veldt...and there are others. And then there is the detailed description of Beatty burning up in F451. Shiver.

About as badly as every other country! The top tax bracket only includes really high earners, not the likes of me and (I would guess) you. But in any case, this is a proposal for after the next General Election.
The good news is that VAT (a national sales tax) is being reduced, so we can all SPEND SPEND SPEND for Xmas.
But Woolworths has gone bust. Still trading, but in administration. Woolworths!

I assumed it meant fat...especially right around Thanksgiving! Which were you laughing at, me wanting a facsimile of the Jar or having one of a head? (I was speaking of a fake head, not my own head, in case there was any doubt!)

I do not have a fat ass!
I was laughing because of the following statement: "...whenever I say all I want is a glass jar with a glass lid large enough to hold a human head, people look at me funny."
I'm still laughing - that one will stand the test of time.

Thank you, it has for the many years I have sought such a jar.
Alas, those fancast links contain videos that can't be viewed outside the US. (Not that I am particularly bothered, as I have copies of all the above episodes anyway.)
