I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.
Buzz Aldrin (1930 - )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Morons Of The Year
Presenting the top morons of the year...

1. WILL THE REAL DUMMY PLEASE STAND UP?
AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months, saying he lacked intellectual leadership. He received a $26 million severance package. Perhaps it's not Walter who's lacking intelligence.

2. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS:
Police in Oakland, California spent two hours attempting to subdue a gunman who had barricaded himself inside his home. After firing ten tear gas canisters, officers discovered that the man was standing beside them in the police line, shouting, "Please come out and give yourself up."

3. WHAT WAS PLAN B???
An Illinois man, pretending to have a gun, kidnapped a motorist and forced him to drive to two different automated teller machines, wherein the kidnapper proceeded to withdraw money from own his bank accounts.

4. THE GETAWAY!
A man walked into a Topeka, Kansas Kwik Stop, and asked for all the money in the cash drawer. Apparently, the take was too small, so he tied up the store clerk and worked at the counter himself for three hours until police showed up and grabbed him.

5. DID I SAY THAT???
Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery suspect who just couldn't control himself during a line-up. When detectives asked each man in the line-up to repeat the words: "Give me all your money or I'll shoot," the man shouted, "That's not what I said!"

6. ARE WE COMMUNICATING??
A man spoke frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!" "Is this her first child?" the doctor asked. "No!" the man shouted, "This is her husband!"

7. NOT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED!!
In Modesto, California, Steven Richard King was arrested for trying to hold up a Bank of America branch without a weapon. King used a thumb and a finger to simulate a gun, but unfortunately, he failed to keep his hand in his pocket. (hellllllooooooo!)

8. THE GRAND FINALE
Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east of Bakersfield, California, some folks, new to boating, were having a problem. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22 ft. boat going. It was very sluggish in almost every manoeuvre, no matter how much power was applied.

After about an hour of trying to make it go, they putted to a nearby marina, thinking someone there could tell them what was wrong.

A thorough topside check revealed everything in perfect working condition. The engine ran fine, the out drive went up and down, and the prop was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath.

He came up choking on water, he was laughing so hard. NOW REMEMBER...THIS IS TRUE ... Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the trailer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Strange Facts
The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time television were Fred and Wilma Flintstone.

Diamonds - Julius Caesar.

111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

"I am." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.

The term "the whole 9 yards" came from W.W.II fighter pilots in the South Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards."

Hershey's Kisses are called that because the machine that makes them looks like it's kissing the conveyor belt.

The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

The name Jeep came from the abbreviation used in the army for the "General Purpose" vehicle, G.P.

The cruise liner, Queen Elizabeth II, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns.

The only two days of the year in which there are no professional sports games (MLB, NBA, NHL, or NFL) are the day before and the day after the Major League all-stars Game.

Good morning Boomieland. wave

I'm feeling like a new man this norning. penguin

Naaa I'm still pretty much feeling like dirt. razz

You know that kid Pig Pen, in the Charlie Brown gang?

That's me inside and out. zombie

This little piggy went to market.

Well I didn't make it through the whole week, but this is still my day off. Yaa Hoo! woot

I'm going to celebrate by taking a shower. lol

I may have to get out today and take Baby for a walk. I haven't been out in two days.

If I recall we've had about an inch of rain since I was last out head hunting.

Not that I expect to find any heads floating about, or will even feel like head hunting to begin with.

The physical "where with all" is lacking still.

Not the desire though. I desire it no problem. happydance

Unlike some "other" things.

Baby always has a headache anyway.

I'm kidding! dance

She doesn't "always" have a headache.

Have a happy day everybody.

It's a glorious day here...again! Awesome warm sun and cool breeze and sunny and dry and oh boy.

Apartment strangeness. The car of the 'boytoy' of the drunk gal has been missing for 4 days now. Not sure if he's gone, or the car got repoed, or if the gal (who was driving it without a license the last few days (and probably drunk and on drugs besides) might have gotten it impounded or crashed it. Dunno, but haven't seen the boytoy for that time too. Interesting. Watching to see what goes. He might have moved out? One can only hope. Or maybe he got arrested and the car impounded. I'm dying to know. think

Enjoying my new fancy shoes. Fit perfectly, comfy, makes me look like an over the hill goth kid wannabe. rotfl

Off for the last walk of the sidewalk project before they start tearing out the asphalt road to redo it. Can hardly wait for the dust and smells, and the cars blocking my driveway.


WARNING! This person is extremely blonde...please type SLOWLY.

Hello everyone. wave

It is sunny, breezy, and in the 60s, so I went out and took Baby on a romp. She had a blast running through the fields with the neighbore dog. happydance puppy

When I got back to the house I cleaned up Pepper's penthouse, and then I gave Baby a long overdue bath. bravo

Now she's running in circles and rolling around in the grass in the yard. puppy

And now it's time to clean myself up before I have to go back to work at 5:00am tomorrow. razz

How is everybody doing? dance

Nan have fun at bingo. wink
