i demand to be made mod at exactly 12:00:00:00:00:00:00 AM

i don't know how long my power was out because i was away. i'm pretty sure my freezer thawed and refroze because my icecubes were a lot bigger than i usually make them. so, do you think the mayo went bad? it smells ok, but i don't really feel like puking all night if i eat it...

Anyone know a good site for movie sound clips? I'm desperately looking for clips from the movie Wall Street.

<font size="3">'Star Wars Kid' Becomes Internet Star</font>

It was a moment of unadulterated goofiness, the kind of thing anyone might do with no one watching: A teen from Quebec videotaped himself as he pretended to wield a light saber "Star Wars" style.

But that private moment went public, very public, when classmates at his high school found the tape in a cabinet and uploaded it onto an Internet file-sharing site this past spring.


Now Ghyslain Raza is known far and wide as the "Star Wars Kid," with a fan base that only seems to be growing — even though he doesn't want the attention.


The video shows the slightly portly teen awkwardly twirling a golf ball retriever like "Star Wars" bad guy Darth Maul, and has been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times. Web sites have been dedicated to the youth. Supporters have raised money for him. And several techies have created their own "clone" versions of the video, adding sound and visual effects or placing his image in any number of backdrops — from "The Hulk" to "The Matrix."


Many teens who post their images on the Web would probably be thrilled to get this kind of attention. But Ghyslain, who made the video while doing a school project when he was 15, has said he didn't intend for it to be seen by his classmates, let alone people across the world.


"I want my life back," he said in an e-mail interview with the National Post newspaper, a Canadian daily.


Claiming that their son has been humiliated, his parents are suing the parents of the teens who put the video on the Web.


Some say the case may become a step toward setting privacy standards on the Internet, which has been difficult terrain to police. But in the meantime, Web surfers are having a field day with Ghyslain's image on a multitude of sites.


Elizabeth Murphy, a production manager for a Web design company in New York, says she finds herself visiting one of the sites often.


"Contrary to popular belief, I think it is not the Jedi kid's awkwardness that keeps him in people's hearts but his undeniable enthusiasm for what he is doing," Murphy says. "While I feel bad for him because he hates his newfound popularity, I revisit the site anytime I am feeling down. It just cracks me up. I love this kid!"


Experts say it's no wonder the video has only increased in popularity.


"It resonates because we all know what it is like to have moments like that," says Patricia Leavy, a sociology professor at Stonehill College in Easton, Mass., who specializes in popular culture.


"Personally, I sing and bop along to TV theme songs," she adds. "Embarrassing, yes. But also a part of being human."


Ghyslain's lawyer, Francois Vigeant, declined to comment, citing an upcoming court hearing. He said the teen and his parents, who live in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, also were declining interviews.


Meanwhile, the teen's supporters are working on his behalf.


Andy Baio, a 26-year-old computer programmer from Santa Monica, Calif., helped lead a fund-raising campaign for Ghyslain — and claims to have purchased an iPod music player and gift certificates for him.


Others have started a petition to get him into the next "Star Wars" movie, which Lucasfilm Ltd. is currently filming in Australia.





A spokeswoman at the California-based film company would not say whether filmmaker George Lucas is considering the request.

"We are deeply saddened by this current situation and any difficulties this uninvited publicity might be causing (Ghyslain) and his family," spokeswoman Jeanne Cole said. "We have no other statement."

Regardless, many "Star Wars" fans hope Ghyslain will learn to enjoy his newfound fame.

"I guess I can feel his pain because it's so big," says Joshua Griffin, editor of TheForce.net, a Web site of "Star Wars" trivia and gossip. "But part of me thinks he should enjoy this. Drop the lawsuit and embrace this."

Griffin admits that he enjoys watching the video clips of Ghyslain.

"I definitely want to respect the kid's privacy. But...," he says, starting to laugh, "It's so funny. He's the 'Star Wars Kid' in all of us."

Still others applaud the lawsuit, and hope it will help set stricter Internet privacy standards.

"We need to ask 'What kind of culture are we going to have?'" says Lynn Schofield Clark, director of the Teens and the New Media (at) Home project at the University of Colorado. "I'm hoping we're able to be a society where we do provide people's right to privacy and dignity."

But Baio warns that the lesson is "if you don't want to risk being the next Star Wars Kid, you should be very careful about what you videotape and where you keep it."

Jennifer Aniston?

I went for a Job interview on Tuesday. It was a good opportunity. I really thought I had the job. I was suposed to just go for the first interview, but the exact words were "you seem like such a good fit, do you mind meeting with our VP so we can speed up the hiring process?" She went on to tell me the normal process is to have the candidate come in 2-3 times for interviews.

Well I drove 2 hours in traffic just to meet with these people, not to mention I missed time at my current job. I understand if they went with another candidate, thats life. BUT SHE TOLD ME BY EMAIL. I think after making it seem like such a definate thiing, a phone call should have been made. Email just seems cowardly. Thats as bad as breaking up with someone by sending a letter.

Am I wrong to think that email is cowardly in this situation? Has anyone else had a employment rejection via email?

I didn't eat anything all day yesterday and I have yet to eat today.

I had some soda, but no actual food. Not a morsel. Not a candy bar. Not a pretzel. Not a piece of gum.

I don't really know why. I woke up late yesterday and never had breakfast. I ended up getting sucked into some stuff during the afternoon and then watched a movie, and by the I looked up and realized it was 9:00 and I was dying of hunger, but decided against eating since I was probably going to go to bed in a few hours anyway and I would just deal with it.

Then I woke up today and realized that even if I did want food, I don't have any in my house other than some soup, and I'm too lazy to go out and get food, and I'm too cheap to order in.

So I may never eat again.

I predict nobody will read this thread or reply anyway so why bother.

this is so stupid that it's funny. my buddy emailed me a link to this and i sat there in amazement......thinking......"do people really buy this shit and put it on their vehicles or is this a fucking joke."
