Alberto Monteiro How many snakes do you have to squeeze to get a gallon? . . . ronn! :) _ Depends on the snakes. A little grass snake isn't going to yield much. A 9' rattler, on the other hand, if you can squeeze it hard enough without getting bit, will give you more. Julia who declined to take part in what she perceived was the torturing of the rattlesnakes from Taylor during the premiere weekend of Snakes on a Plane at the Alamo Drafthouse (this was at the Village location), and did *not* reach out to touch the one being brought up the aisle on her side (and I think that one was only about 5' long) ___ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

It's *much* better than callow Google Wave, having mellowed for years in a quadrotriticale barrell than once contained protomorphogens.

For those still following the 'balloon boy' fracas
sigh I'd rather that Colorado was in the news for something cool; instead, we have a misogynistic father (apparently passing along his nasty views) exploiting his sons for 'fame.' What a snot-rag. http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=126836catid=339 ...Heene and his wife Mayumi Heene were both charged on Thursday and will enter guilty pleas in court Friday as part of a deal to avoid deportation to Japan for Mayumi. In a statement released early Thursday morning, Heene attorney David Lane said Mayumi will plead guilty to false reporting to authorities, a misdemeanor, with a stipulated sentence to probation. She could face up to six months in county jail and a fine of up to $750. Richard Heene will plead guilty to attempting to influence a public servant, a felony, with a stipulated sentence to probation, according to the statement. He could face two to six years in the Department of Corrections and a fine of up to $500,000. In the statement, Lane said authorities insisted that Richard Heene fall on his sword and take a felony plea. The Larimer County District Attorney's Office says the Heenes have agreed to turn themselves in to police. They are scheduled to appear in court on Friday at 8:30 a.m... A Denver Post article listed some things the sons said/did on YouTube that show they're already rude little buggers -- I hope somebody straightens them out, because the parental units have certainly shown poor judgement.
