Bush dislikes children

By By Nicholas Pappas • October 5, 2007

I've never been a fan of small children. It might have something to do with living amongst piles of them in the Sandy suburbs. In an age of discovery, they look for higher and higher pitches in their screams, believing in their little hearts that the more noise they make, the more attention they'll get.

When you consider the absence of the Utes? two stars -- Adele Letro and Kelly Isleib, both sidelined by minor injuries -- the victory is impressive.

Our society promotes waste

The following is a true story about a toilet. Any attempts to engage the reader using "crass potty humor" are intentional, but are not to be shared in mixed company.

I won't mention where this particular toilet is located to protect the privacy of the individual who occupied the toilet before me (in addition to not actually knowing the identity of the toilet-using individual).
