The momma.
Larry's exchange with Momma:
Momma: Who the HELL are you?
Larry: I'm Owen's friend.
Momma: Owen doesn't have any friends!
Larry: That's because he's shy.
Momma: No he's not. He's fat and he's stupid!

Roast recipe
3 to 4 pound roast beef or round steak

PDANET and USB cables for the HTC Evo...thought it was a driver problem.
First off, I'll say I'm successfully using PDANet on my Win 7 laptop with my Sprint EVO. Composing this post with it, in fact.
Initially, I was having problems getting my laptops (XP and win 7) to recognize my Evo. "Unrecognized Device" or something like that.
Downloaded the HTC/Sprint sync software hoping that would install an appropriate USB driver...but the sync software wouldn't work at all. It should work fine on Win 7 (professional in my case). Then I started looking around the net for ideas. One chap recommended trying a different USB cable...so I did. Went back to the HTC cable instead of the cheapo generic one I bought on ebay. Instant success and no failures since.
APPARENTLY, SOME OF THE CHEAP MICRO USB CABLES are not fully compatible with the Evo (or possibly other devices). It seems to charge just fine on the laptop, but not so good for data transfer.
If your phone doesn't work on your laptop, try a REAL cable with the HTC sticker on it.

Frightening that this was an issue as recently as 1973
(excerpts from)
MINUTES
MANKATO CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING, MONDAY, APRIL 9, 1973
................................
Applications for renewal of all existing on-sale club liquor licenses
were considered. Mr. Schulze questioned the policy of the Elks, Eagles and
Moose Clubs concerning racial discrimination. Al Barnett, appearing on behalf
of the Elks Club, and Tony Smetana, manager of the Eagles Club, stated that
their local clubs favored abolishment of the ''whites only" clause in club
constitutions. Further consideration of this category of licenses was
postponed to later in the meeting in order to notify a representative of the
Moose Club.
................
With the appearance of Elmer McCargar, manager of the Moose Club,
consideration of on-sale club liquor licenses was resumed. Mr. McCargar
stated that Minnesota Moose Clubs have petitioned the national organization to
strike the ''whites only'' clause from their constitution and that locally no
racial discrimination is practiced. After further discussion thereon, Mr.
Schuster moved that all existing on-sale club licenses be renewed. Motion
seconded by Mr. Schramski with Councilmen Brown, Mocol, Schramski, Schuster,
Berg and Mayor Lundin voting aye, Councilman Schulze voting nay, motion
carried.
