Wooden microwave cart: Little bit wobbly but works fine: $40

Storage unit on wheels: counter height, with storage inside, wooden, approximately 4'x2': $100

Four kitchen cabinets (lower units), in a row, with a pink formica counter on the top. Not pretty, but useful. Couldn't find a pic for this one, but if you are buying for looks, you should go elsewhere anyway. If you need good storage and something to put stuff down on, this is for you. $80.

also available: a toaster oven that broils well but isn't so hot for toasting or baking. a spice rack without spices in it. Both are free.


Prices are negotiable for (e:strip)pers. If you need the stuff and are short on cash, we could even give it away.

Doesn't always improvise. Here's a film trailer they made:

Here's what I don't get: In the article that (e:James) showed us in his post, we were reminded that James Dobson stated that he wasn't sure if he would even vote for a McCain ticket.

Now, however, he is praying that God intervenes so that McCain wins.

Now, I'm all for divine intervention. In fact, I think we need it. But why should I ask God to elect somebody that I stated I wouldn't?

You can't have it both ways. If a person is such a leader that you ask God to install them supernaturally, than the least you can do is vote for them yourself.

Tony Campolo said that mixing politics and religion is like mixing ice cream and horse manure. The manure doesn't get changed much, but nobody wants to eat the ice cream!

Coming soon (it's been a while): 10 Things I like about Tony Campolo.

I already listed 10 things I like about Hines Ward (http://estrip.org/articles/drew/42423.html), but Jason mentioned football players he likes, and I have to mention what Ward did recently.

Hines Ward is a receiver, and receivers are ordinarily some of the most dainty players around.

Ward is also a veteran. This is significant because some veterans get away with loafing in lopsided games on plays that don't matter to them.

Hines Ward does not slack in the least bit. In fact, he goes out of his way to hit somebody every chance he gets. He is, without a doubt, the best-blocking wide receiver in football, and a large part of the reason that the Steelers run well is because Hines Ward blocks people that other receivers fear.

Two games ago, Ward was fined, not because he did anything illegal (he wasn't penalized), but because he was too aggressive. (This is BS, by the way, Ward plays clean and within the rules)

He swore that he wouldn't let the fine change the way he played, and it didn't. On a pass to Matt Spaeth, Hines Ward launched himself into some hapless Bengal linebacker (who had to outweigh him by at least 50 lbs) and BROKE HIS JAW (unintentionally).

Again, Ward doesn't mean to hurt people--almost everybody he hits is way bigger than he is--he just plays all out.

Watch the video (and please excuse the quality):



Dude is huge, and plays football with all of his heart.

Is it bad that this is a highlight of every Monday for me?
