NO!
My dog’s here, but he’s drinking Coronas tonight. And my neighbor is bringing more drink reinforcements.

One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

Our supporters want to know what our campaign's plan is to fight/prevent pole burn...
we need a brainstorming session during this rain delay.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

We must begin to think about alternatives to oil...
our nation cannot be held hostage by the suppliers and risk seeing the day when poles around the country stand empty and dancer-less.

We think creatively
we will use lard obtained from lipsuction… an endless supply that begs to be repurposed!

Yes...and perhaps with more stem cell research...
we can synthesize it in a lab environment! The massive liposuction demand could drive the cost of health care up.

Good story
I saw it as a first date with a youth pastor that was new in town. My mom set us up, gulp. I was worried about what to say or not say until the movie started. There were a couple of older ladies sitting behind us doing commentary on the opening scenes. They were scanning the wreckage and showing things like money, china, eye glasses, etc. They kept saying oh look, glasses! oh look, silverware! etc etc. Finally the pastor said oh look a sunken ship! It went all right and was sure interesting, but we didn’t go on another date.

and they’re talking about some game called “football” or something.

That darn
football thing keeps coming up here too. However it is now Sept and I can no longer be annoyed about football talk. There is a good game going on tonight in my high school’s conference. If I didn’t need to watch my Cubs and I didn’t haveto work tonight, UI would go see it. Washington vs Metamora. A clash of the titans here in central IL.

MLB should just contract both flordia teams. The lose, no one watches
They win no one watches.
So screw it take away Florida’s Baseball privileges.

I tried some reverse karma for tonight...
I played “the song” this morning. After all, it does say “the Cubs are gonna win today”, not “the Cubs won today”.
Besides, I’d gone 5 games without hearing it … way too long.
