1.- They were ahead of their time, obviously.
2.- Our's is from a generic brand.
3.- I would have to see that particular "detergent".

1.- By not getting really drunk in company of tattoo pranksters.

2.-If used properly, yes. For example, you can break up with your girlfriend in a very rude, cruel way, while holding a bone.

3.- Her/his sex can be changed from "really bad" to "nice".

I'll be back with the rest in a few months...

When Morrissey sings "Don't make fun of Daddy's voice, because he can't help it. When he was a teenage boy something got stuck in his throat", what was it that got stuck in his throat and am I sick if I think it's something penis-related?

I don't care, as long as it doesn't end up in Tardis's piggy...

Has that tennis player on TV spilt water on her dress or is it made of a material that looks wet? The sun is shining, the dress is light blue and the court is purple (but there's no purple piper playing his tune.)

I was watching/thinking about the tennis player and forgot about my tea! Is it too strong now or can I still drink it? The tea bag has been in my mug for several moments. Why does this always happen to me? Why? WHYYYYYYYYY?

Why is it that I find tennis so captivating? Earlier today I was so furious when the match ended and they started showing pool(!) instead that I probably could have reached for the remote control and changed the channel in a displeased fashion. But I didn't, I was so shocked. Why does the match always have to end? Does anyone who watches tennis really care for the points? Here's my suggestion: The match never ends. Whenever either of the players gets tired, she's replaced by another player and the match goes on. Wouldn't that be awesome? Tennis is awesome. In fact tennis is art, not sport. But if tennis was a sport, it would be the most beautiful sport ever. (Ice skating too is art, not sport.) But if ice skating was a sport, tennis would be the second most beautiful sport ever, right after ice skating. Why don't they show ice skating in the summer? It's winter now, why don't they show ice skating now? When will they show ice skating? Why can't I just watch ice skating all the time? Or tennis? Both tennis and ice skating are pure beauty.

Now that I think about it, what was it that I meant to ask? Should I have made a tennis/ice skating appreciation thread instead of asking something? Or would I be considered gay because I like ice skating? Should I marry someone to prove them wrong? Should I marry a tennis player or an ice skater? Do ice skaters make a lot of money? Tennis players do, don't they? Pianists are kind of cool too. And violinists. Should I marry a violinist? Who should I marry? What if nobody wants to marry me? Am I doomed to be alone for the rest of my life? Why won't anyone marry me? Why won't a rich violinist come up to me and say "Hello, I'm a rich violinist and you're the love of my life. From this moment on my violin plays only for you"? Am I silly to dream someone rich would want to marry me? Is there an easier way to get my hands on some money?

Should I change the channel and watch Conan? Or should I watch this tennis match to the end? When will it end? Should I learn the rules of tennis? Why are there rules in tennis? Why can't they just hit the ball back and forth? Why does the match have to end? Why does life have to end? Why can't we all live forever and watch a neverending tennis match? What happens after death? Will I be able to watch tennis when I'm dead? Why do those tennis players have to die? Do they know it that someday they'll be gone and won't be able to play tennis ever again? Or will they? What happens to tennis players after death? Will they play tennis in Heaven? Or will they be reborn as new tennis players? If there's Heaven, there has to be tennis there, right? Is there anything more beautiful than tennis players? If I love tennis so much, why can't I marry a tennis player? Why won't a rich tennis player come up to me and say "Hello, I'm a rich tennis player and you're the love of my life. From this moment on my racket swings only for you"?

Have I spilt tea on my table or is it made of a material that looks wet?

Guess what? I don't think the match even ended! They just started showing pool for no apparent reason! The same thing happened today. I was watching tennis, then there's a commercial break, and then there's a football field! What happened to the tennis match? Who watches football anyway? This is just horrible. It's almost as if they tried to lure me into watching football and pool. Guess what? I won't watch football or pool, ever. I want to watch tennis. If they refuse to show tennis, I refuse to watch anything. (Except for Conan, but that's got nothing to do with this.) How can they do that? First there's tennis, and then suddenly there's football! Why can't they just show tennis? This is outrageous.

Isn't it sad how some tennis players have to lose? Why can't they all get a trophy for playing good tennis? Wouldn't it be nice if they were appreciated for playing tennis, not just for winning? Does it really matter who wins? Why does everything have to be about competition? If there were no losers in tennis, no one would have to feel disappointed and sad after the match. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone was happy? Why does life have to be so sad? Why does tennis have to be so sad? How can I enjoy watching tennis if I know that one of the players is going to feel sad after the match? What if she goes home crying because she lost? What if her husband, who's also her coach, is being mean to her because she lost? What if she feels that there's no one in the world who sees her as a real person and not just a tennis player? Why can't all tennis players be happy? They look so happy on the tennis court, but are they happy in real life? What if tennis is their real life? What happens when they're too old to play tennis? Has their life lost its meaning? Will they sit alone at home in a rocking chair and look back at those good old days when they were tennis players? Did they even enjoy playing tennis? What if they somehow got dragged into playing tennis, when they really would have liked to do something else? What if they feel they never got to do anything they would have liked because of tennis? How can I enjoy watching tennis when I'm not even sure if the players enjoy playing it? Am I partly responsible for the fact they sacrifice their lives to tennis? Do they play tennis so that I could watch, even though they don't really enjoy playing? Should I stop watching tennis? Or is it my responsibility to watch tennis to make sure they have a reason to play? Am I making any sense? Does it really matter if I watch tennis or not? Besides, what else would I do? Wouldn't the world be a better place if everyone just watched tennis? Isn't tennis beautiful? I love tennis!

In this moment I feel I should point out that while this post started as a question, it seems to have developed into a rather lengthy commentary on tennis and life. So, Dear Cuncuna, feel free to comment on any of the above observations, or leave any of them uncommented. In this moment I don't need any answers, since I've found the ultimate truth. The ultimate truth is tennis.

"Vivito y coleando" (alive and well). Earthquake was really far from the region in wich I live, and I'm indestructible anyway. My first earthquake was in 1985 and I was in a train, so there you go. While everyone was running in fear and hurting themselves, I simply stood still and keeping and eye in any possible source of danger for my little brother (he was 4 years old at the time). Nothing happened to us because of the earthquake, but the people who simply loosed it was seriously harmed because of their desperation to run from... and earthquake (normaly, it surrounds you).
