I have just heard that Europlay (the US Distributor for Selecta & Kathe Kruse) will no longer be operating in the USA in 2009, citing the cost to certify compliance with the CPSIA (the new Toy Law). Despite being one of our competitors, we have always respected this company and valued their products and high quality. In our retailing days, we sold some of their products, and were proud to do so.
Is this the canary in the mine shaft? I think it is a clear sign of things to come. In the words of Dan Marshall, from Peapods and founder of the Handmade Toy Alliance, "US kids will no longer be threatened by hardwood german toys finished in beeswax."
Is this really the road that we want to take? Is this really what the consumers were screaming for last year? Do we really want our best toy companies to close down operations? Now is the time to speak up. Contact your Congressman and the CPSC today. Join our group www.cpsia-central.ning.com and get involved.

Is it just me or are other fans also getting sick of seeing so few matches during a two hour show that we don't seem to see matches go from opening bell to pin fall. A two hour Raw should be able to show 5 decent 10 to 12 minute matches have 20 to 25 minutes worth of commercials & still be able to have backstage & ring talk happening. I've found it difficult to convince friends to convert to watch Raw lately because of far too many commercials & matches ending up in disqualifaction or out side interference which also commercials during the best time of the match. WWE wants new fans yet doesn't seem to understand what the fans want to see. The full on fans are used to it we get annoyed but still watch however friends keep telliong me how can you watch Raw or Smackdown when there is constant commercials happening although the sponsors do pay the bills but also they don't understand why there's only maybe two matches that actually go form start to finish with the rest finishing up due to out side interference or whatever.

Valeria cumplió el sueño de su ex suegra
Uno de los deseos más grandes de Verónica Castro fue cumplido justo en el cumpleaños número 75 de la mamá de la actriz, doña Socorro. Después de tres años y repetidas súplicas, la "Chaparrita" por fin conoció a los hijos de su "Gallito Feliz": Simone y Mikhail.
Valeria Liberman dio su brazo a torcer y viajó a la Ciudad de México con sus dos hijos para festejar un año más de vida de la bisabuela de los pequeñitos y, de paso, complacer el deseo de su ex suegra, quien hasta el día de ayer pedía a gritos conocer a sus nietos.

5TH November 2008, a day after the most historic moment in America, a day realized, actualized, and manifested. For the first time in US history on Election Day, a Black Man, a Black Man, not just any Black man, but a global, world-citizen, family oriented, hyper-intelligent, cool, calm, and down-to-earth brother made HISTORY. Some call it the "Joshua Era", 40 years after the death of Martin Luther King Jr. I call it a "long time coming"
Went to meet up with some of my friends for dinner and a drink, and the place we go to is called Tengu. For those who don't know what Tengu is, it's a chain franchise of Japanese-style restaurants called an Izakaya, and they're all over Japan. The one that we always go to is located in Namba, in downtown Osaka, and conveniently located above Sega Avion, one of the most popular arcades in the city.
So while waiting for my friends to show up, I got in about 10 matches of Virtua Fighter 5R, 15 of Street Fighter 4, and then 3 matches of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, which was out this week.
I picked a team of Ryu/Karas, and did pretty well, getting two wins off before getting owned by someone using a Ryu/Chun-Li team. The game looked good although it wasn't on one of the newer cabinets like Street Fighter 4 is. Still, it's really fast and enjoyable to play... I just wish I knew wtf to do sometimes. XD Sometimes it goes a little TOO fast for my old, old brain...

Hello to all from the keyboard. We're going to do something new that we haven't done here before on JM's MoFos, and that is to ask you, as a Morrison Follower, what is your fav. John Morrison match/moment? It can basically be anything that has happened from his time on Tough Enough three, his debut, his time as Johnny Nitro, to the now self proclaimed "Shaman Of Sexy".
So take some time to look back at the previous years of the "Guru Of Greatness" and be sure to post and let your fellow MoFos know what your fav. Morrison match/moment is. So until next time, in the words of John himself, "Keep It Sexy". Peace.

These people need professinal help.(can u say shrink) What I have read on here today would make me think that a small number of you could wind up have stalking charges filed on you.
Take a step out of your fantasy world and back into reality.

didn't you guys think that the match between the miz and rey mysterio was awesome especially that rey mysterio won by a sunset flip pin and a 619 but that cheap shot before their match was messed up
The whole month of December you can play Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix on Xbox LIVE for free if your a Silver Account Member. So even if you haven't made to Gold just yet, you still have the chance to play SF online. Sweet, huh?
This also means you can play with us tomorrow for our Play Against Capcom. Seth's out of the office, so tomorrow you'll be up against me... And I'm totally gonna kick you butt. I have teh Capcom haxzors. (Not really, be gentle, I bruise easy.) See you online!
I'm guessing you've heard the latest right wing hot issue.....they're trying to convince people that Obama wasn't born in the USA.They claim he was born in Kenya or some other place.They say his true place of birth is clouded with sinister coverups.Or if they are willing to admit at all that Obama was born in Hawaii they try to say that Hawaii wasn't a state at the time of his birth.He was born in 1961,hawaii became a state in 1959.Do the math ,Cledus.Oh sorry,you don't understand numbers and sech high falutin' things.
the sad thing is tons of people are buying this poop as being fact.There are on-line petitions you can sign to start investigations into the matter and a hundred other goofy bogus directions these redneck bigots take in their sore loser whine that Obama shouldn't be president.Just today I read a new post on Topix.com that all the hospitals in Hawaii have denied that Obama was born at their facility.And most people took this fabricated junk as the truth,hook ,line and sinker.
Do these goobers really think that 1) a hospital will release patient info just because someone calls and asks for it and 2) that a hospital would even keep records from 1961? Jesus how desperate can you get?
i wish Repubs would just learn to take their election day lumps like men but I guess that ain't gonna happen.Everytime they lose we get a round of redistricting and gerrymandering, lawyers and lawsuits,impeachments or whatever else they can think of to undo a legal legit election.
The ironic thing about this whole fabricated post election "issue" is that it is John McCain who wasn't born in this country.He was born in Panama and NOT on a military base either.Of course when you tell one of the sore losers this it is brushed aside and never even addressed.Some Constitutional scholars even said before the election that McCain wasn't technically allowed to be president should he win.Of course had he won very few,if any,over here on the left would have made an issue of McCain's citizenship.
But now we have the bigots and the rednecks,whose main gripe with Obama is that he is black,making an issue out of nothing at all. Go home to your dreary little hate filled lives.The election is over. Obama won.
Take your birth certificate and ram it up your ass.
One... Step 1...We admitted we were powerless over alcohol, that our lives had become unmanageable!
Oh myyyy... is something I say lots... like in feeling the "wonder of it all"... or in amazement... I'm grateful to be able to feel this today!
Openminded... I'm grateful to be able to be honest, Openminded, and willing today... for this is how it works!
Our... Fellowship means WE... I don't have to be alone anymore... and neither do you!
Outlook... Our whole attitude and Outlook on life will change! Yes!
Obsession... has been lifted, One day at a time!
Occasional... "What used to be the hunch or the Occasional inspiration gradually becomes a working part of the mind."
Oncology... they're awesome... gentle... compassionate... keep my port flushed/heparin maintained for me! Oh and they always have snacks and juice!
On... grasping for OOOoohhh's... "Nevertheless, we find that our thinking will, as time passes, be more and more ON the plane of inspiration."
Ohhhhhh, I love Dr Suess... the rain starts when the drops start dropping and the rain starts stopping when the drops stop dropping... Oh but that's not in the O's... Ok!
