Google has re-invented beer goggles.  Well, sorta.  We've all been there.  Even those of us who don't drink much or at all have had a couple nights in their lives when things went kinda, well, sideways.  And the problem with that ... http://www.poweredbycoffee.net/index.php/archives/1430 Yeah I know.  I change themes more often than I change underwear.  Some people would say that's a good thing.

To our American ... http://www.poweredbycoffee.net/index.php/archives/1408 To those who would assert that dogs have a higher role in the world than their feline counterparts. To those who would say that cats lack intelligence. And to those who insist that a cat cannot ever be trained or ever demonstrate the smallest amount of obedience... The house is empty, and I ... http://www.poweredbycoffee.net/index.php/archives/1404 The accent and the outfit are SCARY.  Tina Fey knocked it out of the park.  Although a little rude in places, this could be one of the best SNL skits in a long time. http://www.poweredbycoffee.net/index.php/archives/1399 The video speaks for itself.  Healing Place Church in Louisiana is asking for help for its residents affected by Hurricane Gustav. Buy one or more tarps at TarpsPlus.com. What size? I'm guessing they need all sizes.  I would presume that it's "the bigger the better" in a situation like this.
