\u00e2\u20ac\u0153@<\/s>Freundlydude<\/strong><\/a>: My goal this year is to have @<\/s>BenFolds<\/strong><\/a> @<\/s>IamStevenT<\/strong><\/a> or @<\/s>CraigyFerg<\/strong><\/a> to RT one of my tweets #<\/s>goals<\/strong><\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jeez.

\r\nSkeleton Antics<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a>\r\nIn Seattle, a commuter is in trouble not only for speeding but for using a mock skeleton to look like a passenger, in order to use the carpool lane. The story from Seattle’s KING-TV<\/a> ends with a note that the skeleton will remain in the closet. [Make up your own Geoff Peterson joke here.] Thanks to the RSA’s @doxieone1<\/strong> for the heads up on this story.\r\n\r\nThis Weekend<\/strong><\/span>\r\n
