Just finished reading...

"The Urban Hermit" by Sam MacDonald. It tells the story of a journalist who mired in debt and vastly overweight puts himself on a budget of 8 dollars a week and 800 calories a day in an effort to save money. His diet consists mainly of tuna sandwiches, hardboiled eggs, lentils, and for a short time cabbage. The money saved on food funds his adventures in Bosnia and in Montana at a Rainbow Gathering, while waiting on a stock option check to come in. All in all a cool book and well worth reading...3.5 out of 5 stars.

I have this box...

and it's full of all sorts of junk. You might refer to it as a compulsive hoarder box. Among the contents are a wide variety of combs (22), pocket combs, wide tooth combs, picks, rattail combs, and the funny thing is that I never use any of the combs in that box. Besides that my hair needs combing... There are small blocks of wood, a couple of razors, pins from political candidates I supported, assorted cartridges (mostly .44 Magnums), a couple of old wallets, a bag of small screws, pocket change, foreign coins and a bent nickel. There's a gift envelope with $2 bills in it, batteries (dead or alive I know not), nuts and bolts, a couple of broken Microtouches (dropped one to many times I guess), ear plugs and other assorted scraps of my daily life.

Support Your Local Poolhall...Please.

Summertime is the worst season of the year for those fine small businesses that cater to those of us in the pool playing community. People are fishing, golfing, doing yardwork & things on the honey-do list, while your friendly neighbourhood poolroom is mostly empty and trying to survive the summertime blues.

Kids today with the Xboxes, PS3s, IPods, cellphones and other gizmos have too many other distractions that have taken them away from our beloved game. The doldrums that effect the game today can only be cured with your support, the pool playing community by its self is not large enough to keep the rooms afloat without the general public's help.

With friends like this...who needs enemas?

A MAN rammed a pool cue into the rectum of a drunken friend with such force it snapped off, leaving 31 centimetres stuck inside his bowel, the Tasmanian Supreme Court in Hobart has been told.

Mr. DJ, would you please play me a song

and dedicate it to Elizabeth Edwards. I wanna hear Tangerine by Led Zeppelin and Homegrown by Neil Young. While you're at it play Almost Cut My Hair by Crosby Stills Nash & Young and dedicate it to John Edwards...

So I hear tell that 'lizabeth Edwards may never eat another tangerine because they have to be transported to the area she lives in. Apparently in her mind this will help slow down "global warming". But my question is; will Johnboy stop flying "that guy" across the country to trim his fearsome locks. 'Cause if he don't...she'd have to not buy an awful lot of tangerines to offset that jet fuel.

I'd like to help her out but I just can't do without my (British) Twining's Irish Breakfast Tea. That and the English Breakfast Tea and the Spiced Chai. Lipton will never do.

Did they search the freezer?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal agents searching the Alaska home of Republican Sen. Ted Stevens appeared particularly interested in cases of wine stored in the senator's house, an attorney briefed on the raid said.

Investigators photographed the cases and the individual bottles Monday along with other items from Stevens' home as part of a public corruption investigation that stretches from Alaska to Washington.

Stevens, 83, is under a federal investigation for his relationship with Bill Allen, an oil field services contractor who was convicted this year of bribing state lawmakers. Stevens was aware for some time that investigators wanted to search the house, the attorney said Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case.

Anna Nicole Smith is dead and I don't feel so good myself.

A pretty woman with big hooters dies at the age of 39 and the media coverage of the death seems to be on the level of a President's death. CNN just aired the developing story that Britney Spears showed up at a tattoo parlor with her head shaved bald. They followed that with the news that after 10 days they're embalming Anna Nicole Smith.

Sounds like bull$hit to me

According to Dwight Lewis and Bonna de la Cruz people who voted against Jr. Ford are racist.



Can you imagine that racists would have voted against this guy?
