I'll be there for the whole thing. Unless I get one or more visas rejected.

Any update CJ?

I'd prefer beginning of June, but mid-june at the latest since prices go up then.

Not everyone has seen this show and altho in highsight we know its an ad campaign, there's no way to tell from the actual devices. Also, when people say terrorism now, they usually mean some middle eastern muslim terrorists - but there have been plenty of domestic ones as well.

If you have various boxes that's giving you the finger with wires sticking out in usually targeted public places, I don't think that taking precautions is overreacting.

Boston is a particularly sensitive city since 9/11. The govt. couldn't have won either way in this, if they hadn't 'overreacted', people would have said 'WELL THEY COULD HAVE BEEN BOMBS OMG DO THEY CARE NOTHING ABOUT US!' and so on. Do something, and you get flak for overreacting. No-win situation.

1. They were not charged as terrorists. They are being charged with planting 'hoax devices'. TAnd possibly with disorderly conduct.

2. Anyone who thinks that planting boxes with wires and lights under bridges and at bus and commuter stations is a good idea should be locked up indefinately anyway. Or shot.

3. A lot of taxpayer dollars were wasted to give this stupid corporation publicity.

Late today, ABC News reported on its Web site that Interference may have asked Berdovsky and Stevens to remain quiet yesterday afternoon as Boston police, aided by federal and state law enforcement, dealt with devices they had discovered under bridges, subway lines and busy intersections. ABC said an e-mail supplied by friends of the two supports the claim.

4. The sheer amount of boxes is mind-boggling:

Similar devices were placed in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Portland, Oregon, and Austin, Texas, Turner said.

Really WTF, as if we don't have enough marketing shoved in our face all day.

What's big, yellow and eats rocks?
A big yellow rock eater.

What's big and white and climbs trees?
A fridge. I lied about it climbing trees.

What's big and white and blue and climbs trees?
A fridge wearing pants. I'm still lying about it climbing trees.

Farlander is right though, this is something we should discuss and decide at Mittens.

This makes no sense This leaves out all the people who didn't attend because it was too far/expensive, and next years will have the same people as this time? 

Finished this yesterday - truly awesome game Bernie!!

Talk to Victor when you are in the candle room and he can lift you up to the window. There are other places you can go from there.

Very tough to pick just one but I'm going to go with Dave's since her expression is great and the entry fits the theme very nicely.

Great entries again everyone, thanks for entering and that wraps up this round of PHOTOSHOP....SUNDAY!!

This is going to be a tough one to pick - great entries everyone. Keep 'em comin'!

What is a Photoshop Friday?

Photoshopping isn't drawing a completely new image -- It's editing images to create a new image, such as editing one image or combining several images. The contest usually lasts for a fortnight. Also, you don't have to specifically use Photoshop -- Paint Shop Pro, MSPaint, or any other programs can be used. Please make sure your image doesn't exceed the width of the screen.

This week's topic: Shocking adventure game character antics caught on tape! Film at eleven!

Two weeks to the finish line - enjoy! ._.

A picture just begging for a caption. ._.

This is not a complete poem, these are 5 seperate shairis. I modified babs' thing so it wasn't so literal(urdu and hindi translate really badly straight to english) and filled in the words he didn't know. For shame dude, it's your language.

Make yourself so strong
That you can reach the peak of the himalayas
And when you reach there, God will ask you:
You ass, how are you going to get back down?  (this isn't so much a poem as a joke)

The roses have gone, the rose garden has gone
The leaves of the roses, have gone,
All the cities have died
Only you, you idiot are left (um...ok o_O)

After I die my
friends, don't shed any tears
If ever you remember me,
Come straight to eefar [No idea what this means <- me either ]

This did [ Sorry, once again no idea what this means] come upon you

It was not my eyes' fault
that they met yours
Their meeting
was not my mistake
I lost myself in them
and now when I see you
I fall in love with you

I demand you finish this game. At once.

I thought you were dead?

Oh ... and I don't use any firefox extensions.  I do use firefox.  I just don't have any extensions. 

The rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

You're unbanned now Miss Moth.  :

And don't ever let me catch you doing that again.    

Referring to the original post, I think part of it might have to do with the fact that pretty much everything in the US is part of a chain.

Everything from restaurants to electronics stores to hair cutting salons....so I think people assume that other people will know these stores too.

This is not the case everywhere, so other people don't mention the store they bought things at.

Spiders pff ._. they are so cute and cuddly ._. who's scared of spiders?

Cockroaches on the other hand...

I read it. It was hillarious.
