THE WEEKLY RIOT
November 10, 2000
Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for
what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to
console him for what he is.
Oscar Wilde
INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES OF THE WEEK
(by the infamous Unknown Author unless otherwise noted)
The most precious thing we have is life. Yet it has absolutely no trade-in value.
Everybody repeat after me: "We are all individuals."
If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten. George Carlin
There are two sides to every divorce: Yours and shithead's.
What do people mean when they say the computer went down on them? Marilyn Pittman
I love boxing. Where else do two grown men prance around in satin underwear, fighting over a belt? The one who wins gets a purse. They do it in gloves. It's the accessory connection I love. John McGovern
Literature is mostly about having sex and not much about having children. Life is the other way around. David Lodge
Are thee up for some plowing? Amish pickup line
Q: What does an atheist say when having an orgasm?
A: "Darwin! Oh, Darwin!"
A hot dot-com company gives it's new employees a pair of gold cuff links. On one it says "Ctrl", on the other "Esc" (that's "control" and "escape" as abbreviated on a standard IBM keyboard).

I had a big project at work, and my boss told me to give it the old college try. So I did: I drank until I passed out and woke up next to a confused sheep. James Konow
I bet it would suck to have a magic carpet if you were obsessive-compulsive. There you'd be, flying and straightening the tassels, flying and straightening the tassels... George MacMillan
Screw that "early bird gets the worm" crap I keep a stash of worms on my nightstand so I can sleep as late as I want. Pat Smaash
IN THE NEWS THIS WEEK:
EDITORIAL OPINION: Regardless of who did what, I can't believe that there is no formal "application" for the office of President of the United States. To get a job at McDonald's you have to fill out an application that asks if you've ever been arrested for a misdemeanor or a felony -- has no one ever thought to make the person applying for the most important job in the nation fill out a similar simple application asking what are obviously important things the public needs to know? Unbelievable, isn't it?
FAVORITE QUOTE: "Whosoever shall pull the King Clinton's sword out of the intern shall be the rightful President of these United States." -- from Chris White's The Top 5 List
FAVORITE HEADLINE: D-Dubya-I from the NY Post
TRAVEL?: Canadian sex columnist Josey Vogels, who authors "My Messy Bedroom" for several alternative newspapers, claimed in a recent column that carnal liaisons are better in the Arctic than at Club Med. Vogels' contention that casual sex is common and long-term relations frowned upon in a region that attracts a lot of transient workers has caused an uproar in the far north, as residents say her words slander the area's hardworking communities.

ENTERTAINMENT: The Los Angeles branch of Christie's auction house will sell rare Star Trek memorabilia next month, including four pair of Vulcan ears worn by Leonard Nimoy on the 60's science fiction show.

WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL?
One morning in school the teacher decided to teach the children the different names adult and young creatures have.
So she draws a picture of a dog and asks the class what the baby animal would be called. Well, out comes, "A puppy." She then draws a kitten, and asks the class what an adult would be called. They answer, "A cat."
Now the teacher draws a picture of a fawn, with all the spots, she asks the class what the adult would be? No answer! She removes the spots, no reply, she draws horns, and tells the class the animal eats grass and has horns still no answer.
She tells them one more clue: "Your mother is doing dishes and your father walks up behind her, puts his arms around her and kisses her on the back of the neck! She will call him this name!"

SUPERHERO LOVE
One day Superman was feeling a bit aroused. So, he began to ask his superhero friends for ideas on where he could get a bit of action. "Hey Batman! who's good in the sack?"
"Well, Superman, everyone knows that Wonderwoman is the best sex in comicland. Why don't you try her?" replied Batman.
"I'd love to, but Wonderwoman and I are friends, so I don't really want to take advantage of her."
"Damn shame," said Batman as he waved good-bye to Superman and drove off.
Ten minutes later Superman was flying low over a city, when he saw the Green Lantern patching up a building. He flew down, "Hey Hal, I'm looking for a little action. You're a swinging bachelor who's the best babe in comicland?"
"Hey, Superman! Everyone knows that Wonderwoman is far and away the best lay in
comicland, why don't you try her?"
"Well, we're sort of friends," Superman said, "but I didn't realize she had gotten around so much," and he flew off in frustration. Twenty minutes later he was flying over a field when he saw Wonderwoman laying naked in the middle of the field, with her legs up in the air. Superman was tempted. "Damn it!" he thought to himself, "I'm faster than a speeding bullet, I can be in and out of there before she even knew I was there." So with a blur and a sonic boom he was down, in, and gone.
Wonderwoman stared up into the sky with a dazed expression. "What the hell was that???!!!" she exclaimed.
"I don't know," said the Invisible Man, "but my ass is killing me."
