Anyone else having Bugs Bunny vs. Rocky flashbacks?

He's not in the stove!
Oh-ho! So he's in the stove, eh, rabbit?
Would I do this [lights a match and throws it into the stove, causing an explosion] if my pal Rocky were in there?
You might, rabbit, you might!

In other news, the raiding agents were overheard discussing the illustrious Senator's choice of countertops.  "I don't think the engineered stone plays well with the tones in the wood. not at all!"

Wonder what else they found in there.  "Uh, no, those magazines aren't mine. Er, or something."

Got to love it.  I'll just like to BB and let Cory explain it.

This post intentionally kept short to keep the tubes from clogging up. That is all.

Yeah, I know this has been talked about for a while now, but I figure its par for the course, no?

So, here's a bit of info on the Tedsters latest problems....

Stevens is facing scrutiny from federal investigators for a home remodeling project, an investigation that dovetailed with a corruption investigation into state officials.

Meanwhile, his son Ben, a former Alaska Senate president, was one of six state lawmakers who had their offices raided by the FBI last year. He has not been charged and has denied any wrongdoing.

Home remodeling project? Wonder how hard it was to find those old mail tubes....

Oh Ted. Ted, Ted, Ted.

"Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Well, whoever said it was onto something.  Is it really that cold in Alaska? Does anyone up there even give two airy farts to the wind who's in office.  I'm betting not.

Hear it for yourselves....

10:56: OMG, Stevens is back and better than ever!
10:57: Stevens: "Let me be just the Devil's Advocate here. Could I just decide I want to keep my wireline and I want to add wireless to it? Can I have two providers on the same number?"
Awkward pause: "Um, I don't think that technology exists right now."
Stevens: "If I had an IP phone, by definition, I'd have to leave the wire... wireline phone to use it?"
Answer: "I think that is the case with the technology today."
Stevens: "Is it coming? Why shouldn't I be able to say, just by a little switch on my phone at home that's wired, I'm going off on the wireless now, I want to use this as I ride my motorcycle."
Stevens: "I'm bad. Pardon me."

so...

1) isn't it generally considered unsafe to A) use a cell phone while driving and B) remove one hand from your handlebars while driving a bike?  A+B = A bit of OH SHIT! as you crash and burn!  and...

2) I can only imagine the conversation.  "What? I can't hear you! This bike is really fuckin loud! I'll have to call you back! yeah!"

Yeah, yeah, maybe he's got a point, that it would be somewhat cool to have a single point of contact wherever you may be.  Or not. I dunno.
