Five foods that cause anal leakage! How could we possibly live without this information?

This reminds me of the fat blocking diet pill that potentially caused explosive diarrhea. I worked great for about a week. I ate sensibly until I couldn’t live without a burrito. That’s when I realized it didn’t have the side effect on me. Instantly it became a morning-after drug. I ate my typical mexican food and popped a pill. Eventually I ran out and didn’t bother buying any more.

My friend Heather the Hussy said it caused here to leave salad dressing in the toilet. A little oil and vinegar anyone?

Frommer’s has such a lovely description of where I live in Paris.

12th Arrondissement (Bois de Vincennes/Gare de Lyon) Very few out-of-towners came here until a French chef opened a restaurant called Au Trou Gascon. The 12th’s major attraction remains the Bois de Vincennes, sprawling on the eastern periphery of Paris. This park is a longtime favorite of French families who enjoy its zoos and museums, its royal châteaux and boating lakes, and its Parc Floral de Paris, a celebrated flower garden boasting springtime rhododendrons and autumn dahlias. Venture into the dreary Gare de Lyon for Le Train Bleu, 20 bd. Diderot (tel. 01-43-43-09-06), in the Gare de Lyon, 12e, a restaurant whose ceiling frescoes and Art Nouveau decor are national artistic treasures; the food is good, too. The 12th, once a depressing urban wasteland, has been singled out for budgetary resuscitation and is beginning to sport new housing, shops, gardens, and restaurants. Many will occupy the site of the former Reuilly rail tracks.
Neighborhoods in Brief

Tomorrow (V-E Day) we celebrate the end of World War 2. The Arc de Triomphe has a huge flag flying. Two victories to celebrate in one week.

Not that I’m comparing Yahoo vs. Microsoft to WWII.

I hate VI, no, I really hate VI. Can I say that any more succinctly? VI is a command-line editor for Unix that lets you edit a file on the server. It’s great if you are a masochist with an anal-retentive personality. It’s torture for anyone else.  So, imagine my surprise when I noticed a link to this site that recreates VI functionality with JavaScript!
