From "The Onion"

Grandmother Can't Believe They Let People With Tattoos On Price Is Right
GREAT BEND, KS—Grandmother of nine Sadie Grunfelder, 71, expressed surprise Tuesday when a tattooed contestant was allowed to play "Buy Or Sell" on the long-running game show The Price Is Right. "I can't believe that Bob Barker would let someone with a tattoo up on stage," Grunfelder said from her recliner. "I would think they'd at least make him cover up that terrible thing. What if there are children somewhere, home sick from school, watching this show?" Luckily, Grunfelder's two other means of access to the outside world—the AARP newsletter and reruns of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman—remain tattoo-free.

This seems very familiar to me......

Ha, thanks for reminding me about the Onion. It was a real piece of unfunny poop there for a while. Glad to see it's enchuckled itself again.

I usually check when the kids are working, then start laughing hysterically at my desk, then they look at me like I'm insane! They also do that when I talk about the crawlspace in my basement....

Siouxsie Sioux

There are some rather nasty and stupid rumours circulating around the music industry with regard to Siouxsie. We would like to ask everybody to ignore these as Siouxsie is very much still with us. Please look here first !!! Doug

I am aware of the rumors, but am happy to report she is alive and well, although when I first heard last week I was a little nervous!
