I'm partial to creepy Asian ghost movies myself...

Although I must admit that Shaun of the Dead is one of my favorite movies of all time - I still laugh ever time I see it! And I also liked Land of the Dead as well.

I love Shaun of the Dead! I laughed so hard over it, it's great! Whenever it comes on the movie channels I'll always check it out.

Ohh...Shaun of the Dead was a RIOT! I'd caught a few of George Romero's greats again just before Shaun ended up in the cheap theatres in town. I went there (spent 65 cents on a ticket, and $7.50 on snackage), and thoroughly enjoyed that flick.

Yah know...mentioning the ghost Asian flicks, I have to tell you that as much as I like the Ring and Ringu movies, and anything similar to them, I have to say those creep me out as much, if not moreso than the "aliens bursting from somebody" movies. Ring and its predecessors and cousins seem to toss in a great combination of quiet suspence and utterly terrifying cinematography and effects. Those were the movies that I had trouble with at the end of the night, sleeping with my tv on (turned to a channel with something positive on it).

[Rumba Rue]

I've used Jacquie Lawson's cards on a number of occassions in the past. This one is new. Guess I'll have to join again to see what else she's come up with.

Thanks, Sam!

Hey …. Did you know that you can scramble eggs in a microwave….. Dump two eggs in a coffee cup, nuke them for one minute, stir them, then nuke for another minute, and stir them up and then eat… almost no mess, and it’s easy….. Dang…. Better living through technology….

[Capt. Bo of the WTF co.]

I'm kinda leary about eggs in microwaves... Kinda like dryin out Grammas poodle... :) BOOM!

Seriously though, yeah that's a great bachelor/ single parent trick, and here's another:

Grilled cheese sandwich without all the mess:

Toast two pieces of bread

Butter if you like, on one side.

add 1 or 2 slices of cheese to the buttered side, cover with other slice of bread, buttered side down on cheese.

Nuke for 15 seconds and you're done!

Ahh the amazing advents of living simple in a complicated world!

Yah... and the cool part of it, is there aren't a buncha dirty frying pans to wash up after eating......

Hey ... without a dog, I have to wash the dishes... can't just have the dog lick em clean fer me.......

gotta love th' microwave......

Kinda obvious that I'm single ain't it ?..........

[Silkie McDonough]

You actually use dishes? I save them for when companys comming. Eat over the sink, no crums to clean up either.

[Caraccioli]

Amy's Kitchen. There's just no easier way to eat. All the benefits of microwave and no dishes in one neatly boxed package.

[Rummy3]

Patrick Hand! There are humans with amazing tongues, you know! (OK, just kidding) but sometimes a real kitchen is a godsend. Just try going without for a while and see what I mean!

[Patrick Hand]

I've got a real kitchen.... but just cooking for myself... I go with the mircowave.... (and the bread machine....)

Is this woman damn near perfect or what?

[Silkie McDonough]

Don't get me wrong man. I have fine china and crystal stem ware. I use cloth napkins and table clothes but I live alone. Additionally I am a very poor house keeper, so why create more work!

[The Doctor]

OK, I'm in trouble. I made the mistake of remarking that on the new Doctor Who series, the Doctor's assistant (Billie Piper) looks remarkably like a girl I dated (almost married) back in the late 80's. Damn my loose tongue. So, what do I do? The proverbial cat's out of the bag, and the wifey's a bit irate. Shall I just drink more and hope it all blows over? :)

[Silkie McDonough]

I've never been married. I don't understand the problem either. That was in the past. You have choosen your wife and have choosen to be faithful to her. I'm only seeing this from one side but it seems to me that your love for your wife has been proven by you sticking with her in sickness add in health, for richer for poorer ...I'd like to hear another womans rational also.

[Rogue Mermaid]

Jack, you didn't make any comments about how hot/sexy/beautiful this actress was before you mentioned the resemblence did you?

If you did it could just be that the wifey is worried that you consider the ex more desireable than her. If this is the case make sure you lavish her with compliments about how gorgeous she is and let her know she is the hottest thing on two legs (unless she has a peg leg! Then she's the hottest thing on one leg )

I'm sure it will blow over in no time

[LongTom]

I was going to suggest finding another good looking celebrity who bears a plausible resemblance to your wife, and comment on that resemblance too. (But then, not being a particularly good judge of the female mind myself, I wasn't sure whether that would backfire.)

[Christine]

Ugh, this is why I don't like marriage. Most women get all weird like that. I find it annoying! I personally would not be offended. I actually find Billie Piper very hot! If it were me sitting there when you said this I'd be saying, "find your ex and get her over here to play with us both!" I'm just not your typical woman. :)

[Capt. Lazarus Gage]

. In other news: Got my new issue of NQG today!!

[Red-Handed Jill]

I guess that depends on what you said. If you kept going on and on about how gorgeous Billie Piper was and compared your wife unfavorably, then that would obviously be an unwise thing to do. However, just commenting that an actor or actress is attractive and happens to resemble an ex isn't the worst thing. If your ex wasn't attractive to you, you wouldn't have gotten involved with her in the first place. (Just a guess...)

IMO the prudent thing to do is to reiterate why you're married to your wife and not your ex and why you are still together all these years.

Most of the women I know don't get all weird about that. I've seen guys get weird about that, though.

ooks remarkably like a girl I dated (almost married) back in the late 80's.

Back in the 80's..... that was almost twenty years ago.....

See rule #1 .... "In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days."

The Guys' Rules

1. Men ARE not mind readers.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Come to us with a problem only If you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
