She was standing in the kitchen, preparing our usual soft-boiled eggs and toast for breakfast, wearing only the T-shirt she normally slept in. As I walked in, almost awake, she turned to me and said softly, 'You've got to make love to me this very moment!' My eyes lit up and I thought, 'I am either still dreaming or this is going to be my lucky day!' Not wanting to lose the moment, I embraced her and then gave it my all right there on the kitchen table. Afterwards she said, 'Thanks,' and returned to the stove, her T-shirt still around her neck.

Happy, but a little puzzled, I asked, 'What was that all about?'

Or just one for the family photo album?

Canada.com:

Union leaders were on Parliament Hill Tuesday pushing for the federal government to adopt a "Buy Canadian" policy before it rolls out its $40 billion economic stimulus package.

"We're here today to insist that Canada needs comprehensive rules to ensure governments buy Canadian-made products and services, rules that will support Canadian manufacturing jobs, generate payroll and local spending and ultimately generate tax dollars that come back to the public purse," Ken Lewenza, Canadian Auto Workers president, said at a news conference.

He said a 'Buy Canadian' policy would not violate NAFTA or other trade agreements, nor would it provoke a trade war.

Never trust the financial advice of someone whose IQ is eclipsed by his neck size.

Thanks, Ma!

No way, nowhere, no how. Glad I could clear that up for you.

It would explain so much.

AOMORI, JAPAN At first glance, 17-year-old Misaki Nakajima seems like any other shy and submissive Japanese schoolgirl. She loves shopping, text messaging, and the color pink. But beneath her wholesome exterior lies a wicked secret: Misaki Nakajima is consumed by sexual fantasies involving sweaty, middle-aged American men.

The shy Japanese nymph enjoys fantasizing about fat fortysomethings with excessive neck and back hair.

"I can't explain it," said Nakajima, dressed in a pleated miniskirt and pure white knee socks. "There's just something about American men who are at least twice my age and nearly three times my body weight that totally drives me wild."

Added Nakajima, "They're so hot."

Though she finds all pasty, middle-aged men intoxicating, Nakajima said balding Midwesterners who carry most of their weight in their stomach particularly turn her on. According to the sexually inquisitive teen, she often daydreams about sleeping with a 43-year-old divorcé with poor hygiene habits.

"I like it when they dress up like middle managers," said Nakajima, twirling her girlish pigtails with one alabaster finger. "You know, with the sweat-stained dress shirts, and the office clipboards, and the khaki pants that are 2 inches too short."

A time-lapse film shot at the iconic crosswalk outside the Abbey Road studios at what seems like the height of tourist season. It's especially troubling to watch them stretcher off the surviving pedestrians, four at a time. Also the guy on the left, mooning everybody at 1:34.

This is apparently a video called "Garble Arch (A Day in the Life of Abbey Road)."

A cheap attempt at cashing in on The Beatles? Blame Ringo would beg to differ.
