If you think that I examined his portion of the pic that closely, you would be Miss-Taken. I did take a moment to peruse the part of the photo occupied by her.

Ok, let's say you are a photographer... You are at the beach taking pics of a model and she is getting progressively more nude. Now, I can understand the ease of shooting at a nude beach. You aren't breaking any laws, but... Wait until the nude old guy get out of the background! Nobody wants to see the package in the picture. Obviously NSFW This is easier to avoid than say... the girl who takes her pics at home and includes family pics in the background. Nobody notices anyway. (The occasional prom pics with the b/f are funny.) The attached one has the grandparents in the background.

We could do this... outsource all car manufacturing to Mexico. $2 an hour instead of $28. Ford and GM would make money. Their stock would rise. Look at the Dow then. Wheee... People can't figure out that if you don't produce something, then no one has money to buy products. Remember the steel industry? Electronics? Textiles? We now have a market-based economy instead of a manufacturing-based one. When the purchasers dry up, no market - no economy. Or is it just me?

He has been tinkering with a '49 Studebaker lately. He cruises around town in it. There is a rocker under the carb that lets heat up from the manifold. It has stainless steel bearings. It is stuck. We tried vise-grips and tapping it. Any ideas ? It starts ok when the motor is cold, but hard to start when hot.

Pets are just out there looking at other pets. Except for dogs, it wouldn't be called Facebook. You won't want to... but you'll look.

How about they hire a couple of VPs from Honda ? Honda They could call the new strategy... "making stuff that people will buy"

For years, nobody has given a crap about the right of the individual states to legislate. States are allowed to pass trivial laws (as long as it doesn't cost a corporation some money). Interest groups cannot afford to pay lawyers to promote legislation in all the states. The process would be too expensive. So, they can pass it in one state, and then go to the SC and get the ruling mandated at a Fed level. Or, they can just challenge the existing statute in a single state and then go to the SC. Remember, the Fed govt keeps a good portion of your tax dollars to control you. Your state won't get most of its education or road funding, if they don't mind. States rights have not been effective for years. The Golden Rule - "Whoever has the gold, rules".

One time, a woman called me and asked what I was doing after work. I told her that I was going to the mall. She mentioned that she would like to go to the shoe store. I said that I would go to the shoe store if she promised not to wear them. She could look at the shoes and hold the shoes for any length of time, but not try them on. She said that no woman believes that is a sane request. Apparently, putting them on and wearing them out is most of the enjoyment of shoes.

I used to have 2 roommates. I would chop a 1 lb ham steak into 1 lb of beans and simmer it all day. A 9x12 pan of cornbread with real butter, and and a gallon of milk. We would have no leftovers.

In most instances that I can think of, yes. Is this a plastic dog for your real dog? Is the "plug" to use on your real dog? ...or a person? Is the dog for a person to use? The possibilities are myriad, and getting worse as I come up with them. I am content to know that there are still people out there who are sicker than I am (and I am not pointing fingers at you-know-who).

Ham and eggs are a good breakfast. Just fry it in a skillet, or put into an omelet. However, you can put a pound of ham in with a pound of pinto beans while at work. I soak the beans overnight first, and then rinse them before putting them in the pot. Cover the beans and ham with water. I add a small piece of salt pork too. Slow cook them 9-10 hours. A pan of corn bread is good too and easy to make. (better than ice cream)

Sheep have many practical uses. We attempted a 5-way inflatable sheep jump in Clewiston at the Everglades Boogie this year. We were in the restaurant the next morning and I just started to talk about the jump when I remembered where I was.

I feel pretty... If someone pisses you off that bad, and you are just dating.... Ka-chingggg... Let's face it. This is a bad start. People always say that the most basic premise of a relationship is that you like the personality of the person. Otherwise, you don't really like them. This is obviously not happening if a robust shaking is part of the communication skills.

There is a 112% chance that your portion of the interstate is under construction. Put one large word on each orange barrel. It will be a news sensation and a news crew will plaster your story on the 6 oclock news. Lawyer... name... is...a... cheap... crook... who... doesn't... pay... bills... I would like to state for the record that no one should ever take my advice.

doggie toys This doesn't really apply here, but it is oddest thing that I ran into today. A sex toy for your dog (I think). It is under a link for Sports & Entertainment > Pet & Products > Sports and Entertainment ? I guess it is pretty hard to place in this years catalog. On the bright side, I'll bet nobody has already got one. (Or they won't mention it.)

Just after electricity was invented, there was a tv show called the Dating Game. Many soon-to-be-famous tv/movie stars made an appearance on the show to get into the public eye. Tom Selleck I'd say that there are a couple of them who don't care to be "chosen". After all, what idiot makes life-decisions on a few dates? So, they aren't that concerned about winning. They just get to be on tv. However, I'll bet that half are there for the party.

My dad jumped at night out of a B-17 in N Africa. It was a hilly, rocky area. He said that you didn't see the ground coming and landed hard. It was his first jump. The co-pilot hit a rock on landing and broke his leg. If the rest of the crew had not come to find him, he would have died on the side of that mountain. Fortunately, it was neither raining or cold. No trees or water. They were are well dressed with flying jackets, boots, armed, headgear. Most air crews didn't get jump training because so many kept getting hurt during the training. (The name of the CF pilot is Caroline

A simple test to see if you have small boobs... Put on your bra backwards. If it fits the same (or better - on the shoulder blades), then you have small boobs.

On construction jobs, the first thing that you learn is to never put your hands in your pockets. That is a sure sign that you are not doing anything. Soon, there will be more work and you don't want someone canned for goofing off in the slack time. So, you send them to the equipment shack for "a no.5 skyhook" or "50 yds of line of sight". They get routed around the job site for an hour. In the computer industry, the managers never know what you are talking about, and they never seem to learn, so it isn't fun to mess with them. It is like pretending to throw the tennis ball for your dog. You fool the dog, but how hard is that?

We have a dj for Saturday night. The tshirts were ordered this week. (Wearing a tshirt will get you a discount from Janine at dinner) Of course, the pajama party on Saturday night is worth re-mentioning. The pajama party is not going to be posted at the dz in order to avoid non-jumpers. Please pass the word around informally (email someone).

clicky Yep... in my quest to keep others abreast (or a breast) of fashion events, I have once again stumbled onto news of value.

Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked, 'How many of you have forgiven your enemies?' 80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small elderly lady. 'Miss Joyce''; 'Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?' I don't have any.' She replied, smiling sweetly. 'Miss Joyce', that is very unusual. How old are you?' 'Ninety-eight.' she replied. 'Oh, Miss. Joyce, would you please come down in front & tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years & not have an enemy in the world?' The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said: 'I outlived the bitches.'

There is a cute blonde comedienne who has a squeaky voice. She makes the point that she gets a lot of latitude and plays the blonde card to her advantage. She has a routine where she talks about sleeping with her boyfriends brother. She told her b/f, "It was an accident, he tricked me." Now... everyone knows that is a joke. Obviously, nobody "accidentally" has sex. So, there it is. She's a big girl. She talks to whomever she wants. Your buddy isn't going to "trick her" into going out on a date. They are adults. She probably spent some time flirting with him until he agreed to go out. Women are devious that way. You should go out with other girls. If you see her, talk to her. At some point, things might improve... or not. Either way, don't worry about it. People tend to date from a pool of surprisingly similar people. Most of the other women in your life are going to be about the same. The final difference should be how you are treated. It doesn't sound like she is treating you well, or special. That is a tough way to live your future.

Instead of wasting time painting it, spend an afternoon making loops out of a bunch of short pieces of scotch tape. Distribute the loops out on the porch and pour yourself a beer. Have you ever seen a cat with tape on the bottom of its paws? Hours of entertainment and more satifisfying than painting.
