The Chicken;
IMHO, Susan Boyle’s rendition is better. I am still inspired to watch her video.
the Susan Boyle phenomenon has to do with who she is and maybe even our own perceptions of how we perceive who is “deserving” or “capable” of having talent. She went out onstage and blew all our perceptions out of the water and that’s why she’s loved so much.
I’m sure there will be more music from her when she’s given the chance to perform. She’s obviously wonderfully talented and going on what they say, this isn’t the only song in her repertoire. I give her a huge amount of credit for puttig herself out there, without the violins, the orchestras, the fancy dress or professional hair and make-up. It takes a hell of a talent to do what she did, without all the fancy props.
OK…I’ve heard of just about everything bizarre and sexual but this is just soooo bad…a “crush video?”…

Yes – you “train” your shinbone by rolling a glass bottle against it (like a rolling pin) to compact the bone.
Don’t worry about pissing me off though – my roundhouse days are long behind me and my scathing wit is my only defence these days.

Yep – that guy/girl was absolutely awesome! Beat the crap about of them and then give them a kiss at the end!

April 20 (Bloomberg) — The U.S. Supreme Court will
consider reviving a federal criminal law aimed at videos that show animal cruelty, agreeing to review a federal appeals court’s conclusion that the measure infringes speech rights.
The court will hear a government appeal in the case of a Virginia man who was sentenced to three years and one month in prison for selling videos that depict pit bulls fighting each other and attacking other animals. The lower court overturned the sentence.
The dispute centers on a 1999 law aimed primarily at “crush videos,†which show women crushing small animals with their feet in a manner that some people find sexually arousing. Although the law has yet to be applied in a crush-video case, the government has pressed at least three prosecutions in other contexts.
The Justice Department in its appeal likened animal cruelty to child pornography, which the Supreme Court has said doesn’t qualify as speech protected by the Constitution.
“Depictions of the intentional infliction of suffering on vulnerable creatures play no essential role in the expression of ideas,†the appeal contended.

Actually its not the post office itself that sucks but the employees and their attitudes.
“Well I did do Muay Thai for ten years”
Jeez that stuff is hardcore – my friend trains in that and he could probably break someone’s leg with his shin if he hit it right.

“Is one post office better than another? I find that very hard to believe.”
They all suck – but the one on Prince and Greene in Soho is much suckier then the rest.
