Fair readers- Apologies for delays and lack of posts on this site. The problem is a technical one: I keep forgetting my password.
To make it up to you, here are the results of a staff challenge held here at Somenotions. The goal: to write joke lines to complete each one of the set-ups for Jim Mullins' Hot Sheet for the current week. The writers had 10 minutes to complete this task. Here is the winning entry. [Note that competitors were instructed to write
in the manner of Jim Mullins.]
Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie have signed on to do a second season of “The Simple Life.” In this one, they live in Saddam’s rathole.
Diana Ross will spend two days in jail on a DUI conviction. So if you get arrested for driving drink, you either end up in jail or in the White House.
There’s a lot of sales for President’s Day. It’s the perfect time to buy a present for your intern.
Janet Jackson was wearing a metal nipple shield attached by a piercing. That was going to be David Blaine’s next stunt!
A group of 100 skirt-wearing men marched for acceptance in Manhattan last week. And 100 naked guys in Central Park didn’t even notice.
In the new movie “50 First Dates,” Drew Barrymore forgets she met Adam Sandler. I sure wish I could forget “Happy Gilmore.”
The NBA All Star Game was last week. The audience was full of lawyers looking for work.
A Massachusetts court says gays have the right to get married. But just to keep things fair, straight people now have the right to become choreographers.
Mike Tyson had only $5,553 in his bank account as of Dec. 31. So, about as much money as A-Rod makes for lacing his shoes.

ANYWAY: Office hijinks aside, we proceed to our business, which is reviewing Clinomania.
Boat delights with a rare entry about Korean amusement parks. The author of this site once had the good fortune to visit Fuji Nikko Edo-mura in Japan. Sadly, their website, thus: http://www.jidaimura.co.jp/web2003/nikko/ is entirely in Japanese. But visitors to Japan are encouraged to make a side-trip to this scenic spot in Nikko's wooded hills. Visitors to Edo-mura are met by Nyan-mage, a giant cat who enjoys eating rice-balls. Then, they are forced to watch a 20 minute movie in which Nyan-mage fights off an enormous spider creature with the help of various other anthropomorphized beasts. Then a girl falls in love with Nyan-mage, but he must refuse her because he is a giant cat, and his giant cat genitals might harm her, and also he loves only rice-balls. In this way, Nikko Edo-mura was founded, and thanks to the heroism of its founders, the amusement park was created, and Japanese children are free to come in and go to the Ninja House to see Ninja Magic.
The point is, Clinomania has done an excellent job of finding and presenting yet another example of the oddities and English mis-steps of our Asiatic cousins, and should be applauded for it.
