creepingdeath: Little Johnny Jokes! (Sports Mania) (Jun 07 2004 18:59 GMT) - As the door is opened, the travelling salesmans shocked to see a little lad, stood in a silk dressing gown, cigar in one hand, glass of whiskey in the other! Looking further into the house, a prostitute is laying spent across the couch! "Er, hello young man" he manages to stammer, " |

"It's a game they'll remember for a long time" (Jun 07 2004 18:59 GMT) - When I was a kid, before I discovered soccer, I played american football (or as my girlfriend and I now call it, "pointyball"). This was my second team, after moving to another state, and while we didn't play that well, we played hard. In soccer, at least here, youth teams have an end of the season tourament to give them all a post-season. To point-ball kids they get a "bowl" game, set up between powerful people who allow their really good teams to beat up on the lesser teams... again. |

First-ever look inside a WIPO treaty negotiation (day 1 of 3) (Jun 07 2004 18:58 GMT) - I'm at the World Intellectual Property Organization's Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, along with the largest-ever public-interest coalition in WIPO history, We've all come to oppose the Broadcast Treaty (which will make the Web illegal and require the world's governments to mandate the design everything that can receive a signal, from a PC to a radio) and the proposed Database Treaty (which would let people who'd amassed public, uncopyrightable ... |

HELP COMPILE "THE WEB USER'S ESSENTIAL LINKS AND FREE DOWNLOADS" LIST (Jun 07 2004 18:57 GMT) - My Salon Blog colleague Ted Ritzer keeps a list of Useful Web Sites (for all web users, not just bloggers) originally compiled by Kevin Kelly, of Wired, The Well, and Whole Earth Catalog fame. Kevin no longer maintains his list, and instead has an intriguing Cool Tools site, but it's only for the rich -- virtually everything on the site costs money, often a lot of it. So Ted and I agreed it's time to update the Useful Web Sites list, and we need your help. What links and free downloads should every self-respecting Internet user have on their desktop? The list should not include pay sites, nor should it include news sites, blogs or other sites that appear on blogrolls (too many, and too subjective). |

Dream: Precious/Anakin/Padme (Jun 07 2004 18:56 GMT) - Dreamed a sort of weird Harry Potter universe, where I think I was either a neutral observer or Hermione. There was slash going on. theferrett was in charge of a very, very weird Weasley House, with a bunch of very odd and silly House Rules. They were sensible and charming in context. Then I was going somewhere to do something, and ran across my Pretty (who had mid-back hair, for whatever reason, and another girlfriend as well as me) and said hi. |

Harry Potter (Jun 07 2004 18:55 GMT) - Has anyone seen the new Harry Potter movie? I saw it (twice) this weekend. There's a scene in the movie that has me in stitches each time I've seen it and so far I'm the only one laughing at it.... |
