12/1/03 - The web-goddess goes to the cricket and meets beer wenches:

"The cricket also introduced me to a new concept: beer wenches. You know how they've got vendors that bring cans of Old Milwaukee to you in the stands at American baseball games? Yeah, they don't do that here. You've got to get up and go to the beer stand. This gets to be quite a pain after a while. So some enterprising group came up with the idea of "beer wenches". Basically, you get a bunch of guys together who pay for two scantily clad hoochies to do nothing but buy their beer throughout the match. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. Two skanky blondes in ripped T-shirts and Daisy Dukes traipsing back and forth, carrying four beers each at a time to the inebriated Aussies in front of us. (I heard a fellow spectator mention that the girls had to earn at least $300 each.) About an hour before the match ended, the cops decided that the easiest way to quiet the masses was to cut off their beer supply. Hence, the beer wenches got kicked out. You should've heard the uproar. You'd have thought they'd set fire to the flag. :)"

"Following are the ten most alarming theories about September 11, the "war on terror," and the future of the world. Feel free to accept them as gospel, study them as symptoms of a traumatized culture, or scoff at them as anti-American propaganda: I'm only the messenger. Personally, though, at this point the only person I hold above suspicion in the matter of September 11 is that poor kid with the goat."

12/1/03 - I said the Florida driving test was easy:

"When Graham Bush arrived in Florida for a three-week break, his carefully-laid plans were thrown into disarray.  It was a fly-drive holiday, and he had forgotten his driving licence.

But the enterprising engineer came up with a practical solution – signing up for a US driving test, and passing with flying colours."
