Why? Don't you ever wonder how these disgusting ugly things that taste like crap (i.e. tomatoes) can be turned into something that can be as amazing as ketchup? I love technology!!!!! What I can't really understand is how people lived before the discovery of the Americas ... i.e. without tomatoes and potatoes and corn. Like what would we Armenians put on xhorovats before ketchup? What did we eat with the burgers as a side dish? How did the italians make pizza and how did they make french salad dressing?

I once tried some of that Green ketchup that they now sell ... although it tastes exactly the same as the normal red version, it was the most disgusting thing I had ever eaten. It was a fascinating experience for me! Close your eyes ... tastes like ketchup. Open your eyes and http://zr2.cs.ucla.edu/Sip/zr2/barf.gif

what's wrong with added color?

Not sure what those terms mean ... are they used like: "Plav@ aghvor chi ... xhendrem mi kich aghek vor hamov lini?"

Yah I've heard between 20K to 30K is a normal place. But some people don't draw the line until 50K or even 75K. I have even heard that there are those that distinguish the boys from the men at the 100K mark!!!!!

On a related note, does "puzzle" translate to "haneluk" and thus would the solution of the puzzle be called "mdtsneluk"?

Here's my version: dandzov antsav andz@ andzavits antsav anzrevum dandz@ udelov. How about dem apples (or pears)!!! Very cool stuff Arpa!

princess! Yah that's it! Thanks. There is much to idolize about Al. He is a real man. As much as his wife is a biatch and his children losery idiots, he STICKS with his family (for better or worse). Can't say that about too many men these days. He enjoys the little things in life (I totally admire that) ... his simple cold bathroom bowl is one of them. A nice meal would be another or just a simple relaxing afternoon on the couch watching TV with his hand in his belt. He likes hooters and isn't ashamed to admit it ... he goes to the "jiggly room" (nudy bar) but still comes back to "please" his wife when he has to. And he NEVER cheats on her even though the thoughts constantly cross his mind. He has a dead-end minimum wage job selling shoes but still sticks to it and does supports his family ... yes, he is in fact the ONLY provider in that family ... the ONLY one they are counting on for survival. He once was a beloved hero (highschool) ... but due to the circumstances now (the wife has a LOT to do with his misfortunes) he is a total loser ... he knows it but he doesn't give up. He doesn't lose hope ... you are still going to tell me there is not a strong character to idolize here?

Correction: A total pig would have had BOTH a breakfast AND an early lunch.

$299??? That's an insane price! The $699 seemed ok until I realized it was for a LAPTOP? WOW!

yah but unfortunately you also told us about the skinny-dipping part with the guys which I sooo wish you hadn't! Well, bruin, seems like we found your ideal man but too bad he's taken!

WOW! Here's a snip from the script of SouthPark the movie: STAN: [lagging behind] Chef, how do you make a woman like you more than any other guy? CHEF: Oh, that’s easy. You just gotta find the clitoris. STAN: Huh? CHEF: Ooops! STAN: What does that mean, "…find the clitoris"? CHEF: Uh…uh, forget I said anything. Move along, children, you’re holdin’ up the line. STAN: You guys! Do you know where I can find the…"clitoris"? KYLE: The what? CARTMAN: What, is that like finding Jesus, or something? If you haven't seen it ... you have to

All women???? Wow Thoth! I just don't want to imagine what your phone bill looks like!!! On a different note, let's analyze men who speak in 30 second intervals on the phone and their fascination with baseball. Azat, I bet you don't even remember the score from last night but you do remember what color shirt the lady with the big cleavage sitting three rows down had on Gotta love those "dodger" games.

I'll take your word for it since you are in fact MUCH MUCH older and hopefully wiser All I can ask though is at what cost? Can you just get up one day in the morning and say, honey, I'm going to explore Alaska for a month and I won't have a phone either. Can you tell her that you're going to go drive up and down the Baja peninsula for a few months or that you're going to the Amazon for 6 months? All I am trying to say is that life is not about relationships. If that's what you are going after, then you are setting yourself up for big disappointments, failures, pains, heartaches, etc etc. or you have to be willing to make HUGE sacrifices. Will the "good stuff" outweigh that? it may or may not. However, the thing that is for sure is that the only person that I have the utmost confidence in, know will never let me down, and has been there for me, is and will always be ME. Yah, I guess you can say that I love me!

And what is the problem as you see it? I only see pluses. Maybe I am the byproduct of a generation who grew up watching Al Bundy and Married with Children on TV. Yah, I did idolize him. I did picture myself becoming him in the future. But in any case, I just don't see the basis for why we as modern societies are putting such HUGE emphasis on romantic relationships and ALL the stuff that goes along with it. Humans existed just fine for thousands of years without the "telephone" (using more for the symbolizm here) and without the "women's channel" or "cosmopolitan" version of relationships and now, all of a sudden, in like 50 years we have reached the point of "OH MY GOD HE HASN'T CALLED for 63.22 HOURS".

Jug, the point I'm trying to make is that we tend to look at our lives in very complicated ways. We want to have everything ... and we want to have everything perfect. What I'm here to tell you is that even a very simple thing such as driving over a big rock CAN be an AMAZING source of joy and satisfaction in one's life and one doesn't necessarily need to sit and worry about what a knight (or knightette) in a shining armour may or may not do in the future, should or could have done in the past, and is or is not doing right now. The main difference I'm seeing in our current society is that with girls, everything revolves around guys. But with guys, that's not necessarily the case. I only have myself to model things as but we just don't seem to sit at home and wonder ... oh she should have called ... oh I should have done this ... oh maybe I should do this to strengthen my relationship .... oh I wonder if she blah ... or all these other relationship blah blah blahs ....

All I know is I wish I were doing more of this today http://zr2.cs.ucla.edu/Sip/rubi/holcomb1_tn.jpg http://zr2.cs.ucla.edu/Sip/rubi/holcomb3_tn.jpg http://zr2.cs.ucla.edu/Sip/rubi/holcomb4_tn.jpg http://zr2.cs.ucla.edu/Sip/rubi/holcomb2_tn.jpg (click for bigger)

rock: R - o - c - k But on the bright side, I'm not sleepy anymore (and I'm very sure you know what I'm talking about).

I can't imagine a world without toys ... 4x4s ... computers ... gadgets ... and gizmos. They are the ultimate answer to how one can enjoy the time between birth and death. Everything else is just meaningless fluff. Am I having a horrible day? I doesn't matter at all. Why? Because I'll be driving over some BIG rocks in a few hours.

Dude, Domino, do you know why you exist? Cause I am going to come over and kick the crap out of you. If I didn't kick the crap out of you, then you wouldn't exist. So aren't you glad now?

YOU WISH I actualy didn't know about the animal style fries but they are pretty good I hear! They even put some of their special sauce on it. ... talking of jeeps and offroading, this is one of the most hillarious things I've ever heard .... a friend of mine said this on the CB radio while offroading a while back ... he has a very thick brazilian accent so you just have to say it loud in a somewhat brazilian accent to fully appreciate it. Long story short, at some point he got on the radio and said: "If you take Alaska out of US, it will be the size of Brazil". Just to get you started ... here's how it sounds like ... Ifa yo taka Alaska outtta yo ...

One more! Azat Reloaded .... http://movies.flabber.nl/starwars.kid.reloaded/

Can I get "animal style" fries?

Talking of Mark Geragos, my buddy and I were sitting on the upper deck of a boat in the delta right outside of Stockton, fairly close to where Laci Peterson's body was found ... about two nights ago, just chillin and talking ... it was about 1AM I think ... when all of a sudden we heard this huge thing drop in the water probably less than 100 yards (91.44 meters) from where we had anchored ... I immediately shined my 1 milion candle power spot light in that direction but we couldn't see anything. There were a lot of vegatation and bushes and very spooky looking ... needless to say the whole night I had my ears tuned to see if I could hear anything else (I was the only one to sleep outside on the upper deck) ... however after around 4AM it got very windy so I had to go completely in the sleeping bag and hope no murderers were lurking around there
