AT
HOME -- Darren Mabry wants to quit, he really does. He's
tried before, but the cravings are unceasing. There just doesn't
seem to be a solution out there to help him with his addiction--an
addiction to bubble blowing.
Darren
has been hooked on "the blow" since he was introduced
to it at a party--a birthday party for his young son's friend.
"After
the first few breaths I was hooked," admitted Darren.
"I was fascinated by the bubbles; I was mesmerized by
the way they moved. I couldn't stop! I would go through bottle
after bottle, and then when I ran out, I would mix my own...using
Sunlight and warm water."
Darren's
bubble-blowing habit is now up to 2 litres a day, costing
him almost $1.29 a day for his soapy satisfaction.

Finding
Time Away From The Computer
ON
THE COMPUTER-- Norman Leiter has been spending far too
much time on his computer this summer. Norman, 18, has been
in front of his machine for at least 10 hours a day, surfing
the Internet, chatting with friends in IRC, and playing mind-numbing
games in Pogo.
Norman's
dad is fed up with these activities. He thinks that Norman
should be outdoors, playing sports and getting some air.
He
decided to put a stop to it by confronting his computer-addicted
son.
"But
dad, I'm on this website learning about quantum genealogy,
the study of family paradoxes," said Norman. "You
know the theory that if you took a time machine into the past
and killed your grandfather..."
"I
think I can help you learn more about that," said Dad.
"If you don't get outside and mow the lawn in the next
ten minutes, you'll wish you'd never been born."
Denise
Richards Has Never Really Been In Your Pool Has She!?
IN
MY DREAMS-- I know that In your fantasies, Denise Richards,
sexy star of Starship Troopers, and Wild Things
slowly walks out of your swimming pool--dripping wet. Sometimes
she's wearing a bikini, a wrap, or maybe just a towel. Sometimes
she's not wearing anything at all!
But
that picture you've been circulating around the Internet isn't
really yours is it? That's not your pool that Denise is stepping
out of, is it?
Now
Jennifer Jason-Leigh, I could believe. She's cute and down-to-earth.
But Denise Richards? Please, your credibility is waning by
the second. Besides, she's married, and Charlie Sheen would
probably kick your ass first, and then toss you and your camera
into the deep end.
