And you also find out interesting things when you have sons, like...

1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.

2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

3. A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.

5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words 'uh oh', it's already too late.

8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

9. A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.

10. Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.

11. Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

12. Super glue is forever.

13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15. VCR's do not eject 'PB & J' sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18. You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.

19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

20. The fire department in Austin , TX has a 5-minute response time.

21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22. It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24. 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.

25. 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

Greetings,
My name is, Savannah Pennepacker. I'm 24 years of age, and I reside in the lovely and at times frusterating, good ol' USA. I am currently working full-time at The {BAD WORD REMOVED} as a Rehab Tech, and formerly a Nurse's Aide. I have been working there for over 6 years and counting. My duties there are; filing of paper-work generated by the therapists, making copies, keeping track of our personal inventories and re-odering supplies as-needed, transporting patients and assisting with treatments, arranging said treatments, maitenence of wheelchairs and other rehab equiptment, assisting with interdepartment communication, generating word documents, answering telephones, and basically making sure the therapists have what they need to provide quality care to our patients. I typically do all this in an 8 hour, but there's always something waiting for the next when I return on the next. I would greatly appreciate being considered for the position, because I have been a an avid fan of the Pumpkins for many years and would love to help them out however I can and earning a little of course is a plus+. I spend good amount of time online*, not to mention, that most of the time on the web is spent looking up stuff about the band anyway.

*I also have a Myspace page which is myspace.com/savapenne. Check out my blog page it would make you proud and I hope you like my essay too.

"If Machina had turned out as an actual double LP, how would things have turned out differently, if it at all?"

Ultimately, things probably would be the same. 'Why?' you might ask, the answer is simple. Because the same people that paid no mind to 'Machina' would still be around to pass judgement upon it and the band and that is what part of what killed it in the first place.

It could've gone two ways really, especially bad or exceptionally good.

Example #1 especially bad
Had it been released as a double lp, it would have been consindered an even greater 'flop' by the ever holy record sales(compared to 'MCIS') than it was in the first place. Although 'Machina' debuted at #3 on Billboard, it didn't take long for it to disappear into the Pop-Music Abyss.
What I remember about '99 the most is, staring into my younger sister's room at all the little teeny-bopper, pretty-boy band and pop-tart princess posters on her walls, and thinking 'Oh my God, what has the world come to? They've got this girl brainwashed.'
And it was true, well partly, the rest of it was her raging teenage horemomes I reckon. But that was what the business was catering to, millions of teenagers with money to spend and they all wanted was hot bods, pretty faces spewing pop tunes and bumpin' hip-hop music. There wasn't a place for anything substantial anymore, there was no longer a market for it. However...

Example #2 exceptionally good
If it made it to the public as a double album that might've brought more attention to it, and possibly newer fans to actually support it.
'Machina II' was an awesome record by itself and it's a shame that it was only released privately(to certain loyal/hard fans, good for you guys) and via download from the internet; meaning not everyone was aware that it actually existed-I had only found out about it accidentally through a google search I had done last August and I have been listening to it almost daily ever since. Funny, huh?
Anyway, had it been released as a whole as intended, it would've been much stronger and might not have been perceived as a 'mediocre effort on the pumpkins part' to qoute a friend. I never believed that personally, but I must admit when I heard 'Machina' for the first time it made me very sad.
Because it sounded like a send off more than anything else, it really did and possibly I wasn't the only one to notice this, I just don't know.
I think they could've called the album 'Zeigeist' instead of 'Machina' and it would've made a little more sense in a way. I mean it was a sign of the times after all, and the sign was 'Out with the Old Money Makers and in with the News' or 'Forget what you thought was good, and take what we say is good for you' or 'Marjority Rules as long as they're willing to pay', I could sit here all night and come up cheesy sayings to go along with the point I'm trying to make, but you get the idea.
In the end, the Pumpkins still would've disbanded, because like I said before, there wasn't a place for good music back then(Billy knew that too), and honestly there hardly is right now. It's getting better though, but Rock n' Roll still has a long way to go recover it's former glory. That's for sure...
