    The Dallas Morning News has a weekly little snippet called the "Watercooler Tipsheet", the "week's conversational hot topics to make you the hippest habitue of the office water cooler area".

    <B>Movies</B>: "Do you suppose they called it <I>Extreme Ops</I> because the hardcored audience can't spell 'opportunity'?"

    <B>Music</B>: "The Backstreet Boys filed a lawsuit against their record company. If the label hadn't procrastinated in putting out their latest CD, they'd be rich by now!"

    <B>Sports</B>: "Thanksgiving is about so many things: food, festivities-and the Cowboys win smoothing over family fueds."

    <B>TV</B>: "Pinocchio, Tony Bennett, <I>This Land is Your Land</I>, not to mention the nonstop Christmas shows-in one single weekend, we moved into sappy season."

    This is seriously in the paper of one of the top 10 largest cities in America. I feel dirty for have ever given them my money and am canceling my subscription tomorrow. Losers.

    Isn't 'Ops' short for Operations?

    That's what I thought.

    I'd love to see these idiots who actually try to use these lines.

    Good luck with that. I've canceled my subscription three times now over the last six months, yet the DMN still shows up on my porch every morning.

    I feel the same way whenever I buy a Houston Chronicle and see/read Francis Blinebury's column. Blah!

    Let me get this straight, if I want to be cool, I should memorize a line and repeat it? Now that is smooth! Or you could just drink the water and not speak.

    That is funny. I had the Houston Chronicle at my old apartment and I cancelled it. They are still getting the paper now, 6 months later...
