Saw this on a forum as a tagline:
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.
Here's one of the two songs on the Pearl Jam Holiday Vinyl
Santa God Lyrics
Now and then I remember when,
Us Adults were little Kids,
And our only worry was,
What we get from Santa Claus,
When Santa Claus was God,
When Santa Claus was God,
When Santa was... Santa Claus was...
When Santa Claus was God
Now we're grown and so complex,
In a world that can't relax,
Even though he was a lie,
We all were satisfied,
When Santa Claus was God,
When Santa Claus was God,
When Santa was... When Santa Claus was...
When Santa Claus was God
How I learned from right and wrong,
Had to be good for Santa Claus,
He made me, stop misbehaving,
And once a year if I did my job,
I'd be given my favorite toys,
So simple, the principles,
When Santa was... When Santa Claus was...
Santa Claus was God

This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included below). Please pass this on to everyone in your email address book. It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us take those summonses for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on their civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of fraud has surfaced.
The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of this information and bingo; your identity was just stolen.
The fraud has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma, Illinois, and Colorado. This (swindle) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving information by pretending they are with the court system. The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.

Does anyone else find this to be wrong?
Mixing "Star Wars" and "Transformers"?
Why?
It's not real "Star Wars" to me. I mean, how do you play "Star Wars" with these characters and then also allow them to Transform? What kind of 'force' do you need to perform that action?
I will NOT buy this for my kid!
Nick (8, almost 9, year old son) and I went to see this on Sunday afternoon. It was good but not as much of a childrens movie as I thought it would be. It was a little sad and adult themed. Natalie Portman was amazing. Zach Mills was good. And it was nice to see Jason Bateman. Dustin Hoffman was his usual screen stealing self, very good.
I'd give it *** 1/2 (out of 5).
If you could perform alongside any artist (actor, dancer, musician, etc.), who would it be, and what would you perform?
Submitted by Kristin.
1) Eddie Vedder, I'd want to take Jeff Ament's place on bass (both electric and stand-up)
2) John Butler, I'd want to take the bass player's place (again on both electric and stand-up)
I don't really know why but I've always thought for some reason that I could play Bass. I had a guitar for a while, when I was older and out of school and never quite got the hang of it. I messed around, took a few lessons, and read some tab and played a few songs, sort of. I just think the Bass would be a little easier. Plus, when I was a kid I played the banjo for a while.
