Hi Folks.... I don't know who did this but its pretty interesting. Go to www.google.com Type in 'failure' See what comes up first. I don't know how long this will be there but someone at google is a wiseass! ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

FROM THE FILES OF BETTER LATE THAN NEVER %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% *SLAP*SLAP*SLAP*SLAAAAAAAAAP* mmmmm! I LOVE slapping you! (Belated) Happy Birthday and Many Many Many Maaaaaaaaaany more!!! ~~~~~~~~~April~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

your right....you have met him......ok....maybe he does....but i dont need him to look good Re-read all your posts to this thread. Maybe your dog wouldn't act 'retarded' if you gave him a name!! You never mentioned his name! What's his name? What's his name? What's his naaaaaaaaaaaaaame?? He's adorable--just like his Daddy! To Carbonezone: Niles (my doggie) and I went thru something similar a month ago--a pitbull got him and I never saw anything as vicious! The girl who was walking him was doing it as a favor to the owner and met the dog THAT DAY. She was in such shock (I had to pull the dog off Niles) she didn't even know the dogs name to command him to stop. It was ghastly--but Niles suffered only scratches, small punctures and bruising. I took it harder and you're right about the helplessness (the pit was crunching him!!). Looking at your dogs pics made my heart beat race a bit. He will be fine but a little more wary of other dogs. Change is not always bad; thank God you still have him and he knows that you took care of him when he was injured. Dogs don't forget that. Niles got salami and TONS of apologizes and kisses and rubs from me at the hospital. I spoke to the owner--he felt bad and I met him the next day and gave him the bill and told him I don't care if he or the girl pays it, but if its not paid I'll sue HIM. He made the girl pay it and he and I have become friends since but I don't interact with his dog (I grabbed him and slammed him a few times at the incident) and I don't let Niles NEAR him and I'm not pushing for a friendship there--NO way! I've been sick and spend all my time torturing..I mean PLAYING with Niles. Here he is in his 'no-licking-your-sutures' panties. You can see how much he likes them. A speedy recovery to both your doggie and you, Carbone.~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Walt p.s. There was one comment (not from you) that I "hate on" Jesse Jackson. I can't think of anyone that I hate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I made that comment and I'll clarify. To 'hate on' is to obsess over something/someone so much that the subject/person is used as a worse example to (another) bad example. Look at your first remark and don't wonder why you've been taken issue with. You seemed to pull Jackson out of THIN air (read that 2x) and only now you want to wash your hands of it. There is a specific reason I didn't use the term 'hate'. I don't know what you hate and I don't want to be 'interesting' in the SC. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At least he got part of that right. remove the reference to black people and change "as slow as possible" to "more slowly than it helps rich people" and I would actually agree with that statement. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Plug in 'the Easter Bunny' and it could have the same effect. You cannot change the text to suit your agenda. Simple. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .....using race-baiting to promote himself. I find that disgusting. ~~Just 'interesting'. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What do you think George Bush's priorities are? Here's my guess: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You're as guilty at West is. Let Bush figure out his priorites instead of taking them on as your own. He is a public figure, but its absurd to flip the coin and believe because it is YOUR view, its the right one (Bush's very OWN). Time to walk the dog. I'm done with this 'interesting' thread.~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Well, I don't think a group of black people are about to hijack airplanes or go on a suicide bombing run through a mall. I just don't see it...it's not in our culture...unless they converted (I'll probably get shit for that one). Like Jamaican born Germain Lindsay? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamal_Lindsay I would venture to guess that 'our' culture means 'American' blacks. Jamaica is not not part of America. Lindsay lived in various parts of the U.K. I think we should ban tanning beds before everyone gets out of control!~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

....dresses like a criminal,... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eflynn..you hit a LOT on the nose and this thread is far from funny, but this bears repeating. Walt, what does a criminal DRESS like? I have yet to see black people out in the open wearing black and white striped shirt/pants combo with a ball and chain accessories. Please don't rush to note clothing with the color orange, orange is a minority color and can use all the press it can get. I, too, should not feed into this, but perhaps your time would be better spent reading about decent blacks, instead of criminials or trying to create criminals from sound bites and hating on Jesse Jackson. ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Many people here, including me, have a history of interaction with Cliff here in Speakers Corner. I can understand how someone coming in late in the came and not having that history could have a reaction like EricZero's, but I found it very ironic that he was bashing people here for knowing nothing about ghetto life (or whatever) and saying we should do some research, when he obviously did not even take the minute or two required to check out eaglenrider's profile and posts in Speakers Corner to see who he was talking to. I would suggest you look into that also." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are a lot of things in your post that I won't dignify with quoting as West's remarks were directed to President Bush, but if you want to wear them and internalize them to mean the ENTIRE Country I'm not sure when you became the voice of America. Because I don't post here in SC often does not mean I don't read it. I don't have to know a persons relationship to another to see something in a public forum and come to a conclusion and remark; if this is some sort of inside joke, maybe you should have kept it as such and not require people read your resume to understand you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh, that's right, he has the same skin color. That makes him one of them. Now that is some progressive and intellectually honest thinking if I've ever seen it--NOT!!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You said it, I didn't. See your second post: but his remarks about the government authorizing soldiers to shoot "us" and saying George Bush doesn't care about blacks is just another example of hostile black attitude. Using phrases like 'Oh, thats right, I'm a whitey' is throwback, unproductive and just shows you paint with a broad brush. I'm not going to get into it with you. I stand by what I said as you do, and if you choose to pick it apart and divide every little comment into black and white, then thats your bag. Enjoy it. Cheers~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

I suggest you view your link again and turn off the things that happened to you in your high school days and look at this young man as he says what he is saying. I don't see how anyone could look at the footage coming from the South could not be emotionally unbalanced at it. A tragedy is a tragedy--its sad this young man remarks made a larger impression and got the focus off of what is really going on--people were losing everything and it didn't matter what color they were. I looked at your link. I've seen the clip on the news (not live) and I keep coming up with the same impression: this is a young man who is in shock and whomever put him in front of the cameras with a scripted text should have found out if he was up to the task beforehand. Is it wrong for him not to be in awe and voice his personal views? He is not a journalistr--he's an entertainer and you can't expect an entertainer to be a 'professional' journalist. I don't know if (in the LONG run) he is right or wrong.Maybe one day President Bush will get up and state 'you know what? I DON'T care about black people', but this young man was reacting to some very disturbing events. He uses the term 'us' because that is what he saw--people like himself in crisis. What did you expect to hear him say? 'Them'? The first Admendment protects his right to say what is on his mind. Sucks that he couldn't be shot on the spot, huh? He, like you, is an American citizen. He doesn't have to have the popular concensus behind him. He had a right to voice his fear and that is what he did. Give him a chance to follow up on his actions and see how he feels about his knee-jerk reactions. Most of us, when experiencing the 'unbelieveable' will say things that require clarification from us later. I don't think what he said was 'race-baiting'; again I clearly see he was in shock. YOU on the other hand, have had sufficient time to gauge your comments, and I agree with EricZero, tyour comments are very heavy-handed and ill-thought out. What 'Black Community' do you have privileged information to know that all we need is a bucket of chicken, a 40 of malt liquor and a pack of Kools and a 'government overthrow' to make us happy? I've lived in the Black Community all my life, and making belittling comments such as these are quite 'bizarre' as your take on Jesse Jackson (I don't see where he fits IN here, but I'll follow your lead for a minute). You've had time to come up with an intelligent response instead of stereotyping and even worse, giving YOUR list of amenties the black community (in your mind) needs to make it complacent with 'the' government and less of a threat to (yes, I'll say it) YOUR way of life. The Black Community I know and grew up in is NOT trying to 'get' anything from you. We are trying to keep our heads above water without harming the guy next to us. We're trying to hang on to our jobs and careers while raising decent children. Nobody wants their children (or themselves) to be promoted while performing at a substandard level, we want to understand the material and master it. Affirmative action worked for whites for a long time and I do not advocate it for anyone, but for the love of Mike, don't get up in arms because its changed names from 'Good Ole Boy' networking to 'Affirmative Action'. Are my views on the Black Community and what shock Kanye West was in when he made his public comments, just my way of 'whitewashing' things? Perhaps. But mine is a less detrimental way of trying to reason with a racial divide, than starting a thread defining the remarks of scared human as race-baiting, then fall into some of the most insulting and pointless stereotypes I can come up with. Raise the bar, my friend., Blue Skies~~April Edited to add: I came into the SC to see if anyone heard that sound bite that was inserted into Christ Rock's segement last night, but I'll wait till its posted allover the web to get a reaction on that.~~A. Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

My middle name is plain...'Nicole'. My sisters name is a HOOT (and to keep the Sibling Rivalry going, I'll post it on here and in my will I'll leave her instructions on where to find the final wise-crack). Her name is: Myra Florence Sadearie C. (born old it looks like!) ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

A friend sent me some Marmite 3 years ago from Australia and I put it on a corner of toast and I'm STILL tasting it. Its like motor oil--I'm not used to it, it maybe an acquired taste, but give me peanutbutter ANY time. I spend time trying to offer visitors a snack, but those who know me know if that stuff is in my room on a shelf, its a set-up and they aren't falling for it. She said put it with jam. Oil and Jam. This may work. Its bland, its oily, its dark, it looks like grease. No offense, I know different foods are appreciated in different regions, but I'll find some PB& Jam if I meke it there. Got Milk~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

She's gorgeous!! I love the first one--she looks like she's conversing! C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S-!-! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~April~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

There is a new code you put in your phone to block yourself from drunk dialing. After putting in the code, you can't call number(s) you plug in until 6 am (I think) the next day. I saw it on the news but walked away from the tv as they revealed the code. I think its *33-thenphonenumber but I'll be damned if I plug THAT into MY phone. Ex-boyfriends SHOULD be called at 4 am and friends that call me can be pleasantly suprised that I'm still awake and giggling my head off. Isn't half the fun going thru your phone in the morning finding out what calls came in or went out? Is this not America anymore??? I say all the people that aren't going to Rantoul Sober Dial the people at Rantoul--while they are in the big tent listening to music, knocking back jello shots and pitchers of beer and can't hear you! When they call you back, tell them you can't stay on the line but thank them for helping you clear up your life's problems ~~Cheers!~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Way to highjack at thread!! Let me know when you do! If you don't like the first one, the second one will be AWESOME...You'll be moaning my name by the 5th and in the morning you'll be screaming it! I haven't had a drink since I got Niles. I dont' know if thats good or bad but I don't want to wake up at 10 am to the wrath of a neglected dog. If my landlord allowed doggie doors to be drilled into New York City apartments, he'd still never survive the traffic, so I'm stuck waking up at an ungodly hour like a good mommy. What have I learned? Not to wear 'cutesy' sandals on walks, no matter how hot it is. My bones feel like I've been rolled downhill, dragged back up and rolled again. I broke out my blockbuster-sneakers and little anklets, and I'm ready for the second half of our month long relationship--tomorrow will be 3 weeks (stop me from counting please...I sound obsessed!). He's fascinated by everything in the bathroom and destroys our brushes. His is off limits for chewing, but ours has our hair in it so how can he resist?? I moved the brushes and sponges, and found him ontop of the sink ready to jump on the high-shelves!! BAD Niles!!! I put his little plastic bag on his collar while we walk so he can feel he's contributing more than the doo-doos, and this woman remarked 'oh!! look at his little bowtie!'...that sparked all kinds of imagery, so I guess you guys can get ready for a barrage of Niles-in-Boots photos as soon as the hot weather breaks. He's a honey and part of the family and he hasn't gotten a girl pregnant or come home drunk or had bad grades yet. Gotta love him!!~~~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!! I'm going to miss you and your 'chaingang chillens'. I didn't get any of my AFF training in yet, so I'm just going to WAIT till I get my props and see you NEXT year. I've got to have a jump with you! Everyone have a great time and think of us 'shut ins' (where's the Eyebatting Smiley??) Be safe!!~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Man..thoso avocados are TOUGH to sprout...how long ago did you start rooting it? I have a pot with 3 seeds outside a window and the things need more help than a child. I've tried this before with the glass & toothpicks, then glass and Saran Wrap, then just hauled off and threw them in the dirt and said 'if you can't cut it, I'll cut YOU'...one seed is rooting after 4 months! Maybe we'll have a wedding! You bring the chips and I'll bring the beer! Good work on Sally! ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Oh I can hear the past ringing in my ears..."BB I'm never doing that again!" Bwahhhhhhhh I bet you do! Cherios! HAPPY BIRTHDAY WINGIE!!!! There's going to be a GREAT party somewhere! Enjoy! Many Many MANY more!~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

What a PAL!! Everyone can use more 'friends' like him....NOT. Its time for you to be a friend to your pet and the other pets in the neighborhood, especially those that have 'disappeared'. Use that number and turn him in. He broke the law by shooting your pet and who knows how that poor kitty is scarred now. Beating him up and other people busting windows are not going to achieve anything more than creating more violence. He needs to pay for what he's done. Blue skies~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Very good! Remember 2 things. 1) its got to be the Captain you put the grapefuit juice in and 2) you want to get all your vitamins C & A while you're drinking. Coke doesn't provide the necessary nutrients. Cheers!~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Thank you SO much!! I'm very lucky to have 4 wonderful kids, and a devoted wife. Quote You DO have a lovely family! It made me feel all warm and fuzzy. I posted a separate thread, but here again is a picture of my beautiful doggie, Niles~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

You should have seen him before I cut his hair. I was told I could use him for a mop. He took on that job when he took on the nickname 'von dirty'..he loves rollng around on anything! What a guy! LOL. ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

I'm so bummed we won't see you at WFFC this year. I look forward to the day that Rose and Niles met. They can meet in Colorado where there will be a LOT less chaos and they will be friends before the next WFFC. He's pretty hyper and I know Rose is laid back, so it would be great to give them time to become buddies

Um, dude, you've got a hubcap on your head ~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Thanks!!! He's going to get us both killed. There's a pitbull/mastiff that he HATES named 'Rambo'. I was pulling him away and Rambo's owner said "whats your doggies name?" (all he left out was 'little girl' on the end). When I said 'Niles' he turned his head and chuckled, but thats okay. Niles is more cuddly than Rambo and I wouldn't want Rambo climbing on my bed at night . I'm really happy!~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

Fundamental Coolness, Lany!! Congrats! I've never looked to see how many jumps you had under your belt--I'm surprised. You look GREAT! What an accomplishement! Best wishes to you and keep showing us as you advance.~~Blue skies~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!
