OT: That dog cloning story gets wierder and wierder

from AP:

SALT LAKE CITY – A woman who made news around the world when she had five pups cloned from her beloved pit bull Booger looked very familiar to some who saw her picture: She may be the same woman who 31 years earlier was accused of abducting a Mormon missionary in England, handcuffing him to a bed and making him her sex slave.

I agree, stupid Bennett from the Braves.

despite not playin a full season

he is very valuable to this team. They seem to click when he’s in the lineup.

I don’t know why he gets so crazed, he is too good for that. Plus, his bat helps him out. All will be well.

All Drinkers Check In!!!

I forgot to start this earlier, sorry.

I enjoyed some Havana Club (product of Cuba) rum and diet coke w/ lime earlier. I’ve since switched to Captain Morgan Private Stock for my gametime drinking binge to save the good stuff :)

Though, I prefer just a regular Leine’s over the sunset wheat. But that’s just me.
