Bio
Just look at us. Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom.” ― Michael Ellner ----------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- "We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during these years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government... The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." - David Rockefeller, Speaking in June, 1991 meeting in Baden, Germany"---------------------------- -"The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7 years of data and it isn't statistically significant." - UN Scientist Phil Jones to scientist John Christy July 5th 2005--------------------------------------

Wasn't Toot Sweet the candy in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? It was a whistle candy Dick Van Dyke and some honey pitched to her dad or something.

Jim, aka Martha ~ one can't go wrong with this great list. Regarding the title, I remember "Fanfuckingtastic" from Shirley MacLaine and "Terms of Endearment" in 1983 and am thinking that is when it came into general use.

I know. I have to go to my mothers house. There are shelves upon shelves of my books there. I added it to my links section so I would remember where this is.

I don't remember where I heard it, Designinator. Maybe it was a Shirley MacLaine movie.
