The Annual Rolling of the Cheese

The annual cheese rolling contest at Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire, England. The origins of the cheese race are unclear, they say, but it's believed to have started several hundred years ago, possibly as a pagan festival to celebrate summer. Couldn't they have just taken off their clothes and jumped in the lake?
In any event, as you'll see from the story, the idea is that they chuck a 7 lb wedge of cheese down a very steep hill and then a horde of unintelligent men (and later, women) each take a step or two and then fall and tumble headlong down this hill, often at great peril and damage to themselves. Some manage to get to their feet again briefly, only to tumble headlong once again like so many projectiles down the hill. Any story that includes "among the injured" in the text is probably not a good one, at least not for the people involved.
In case you're having a hard time visualizing all of this, don't worry, here's a link to a video of the festivities, for your viewing pleasure.

Looking at this, we are left to ponder, is it any wonder we won the Revolution....?

Ummm OK....

BANGOR - A Waldo County man was arrested Saturday after he allegedly flew into a drunken rage, stripped to his socks and skivvies, yelled at passing cars and began smashing windows in a Stream Road garage door. Matt Powers, 33, of Monroe, who cut himself while breaking the windows, was arrested by Deputy Ben Seekins of the Waldo County Sheriff's Department outside the Stream Road home at 4:15 p.m. Seekins said Powers was unable to explain the reason for his outburst. "He was very intoxicated," Seekins said Sunday. Powers was charged with criminal trespass, criminal mischief and public indecency and taken to the Waldo County Jail. He was released on $200 bail Sunday morning. Seekins said the incident began around 4 p.m. when a neighbor told the county dispatch center that a naked man was on the road, yelling and challenging passing cars. The caller was still on the phone with the dispatcher when she heard the sound of breaking glass and believed the man was trying to enter her home, he said. Seekins said Powers did not try to break into the home but did rip a side mirror from the homeowner's car and smashed the garage windows.

I bet his hangover Sucked BIG TIME!

Gota love it~!

Looking for something for Dad?

This fathers day what could say "I love you" more than this nose hair trimmer?

What you get is a battery powered nose trimmer in the shape of a human finger. Switch it on, shove the finger up your nose, and watch your nose hairs disappear. (if you dare look, that is)

For the low low price of 9.99 how could you lose?

Barry Bonds

"Ruth did it on Hot dogs and Beer"

75 years from now how will history look back at Barry Bonds record?

If it is proven without a shadow of a doubt that Barry was on some performance enhancing drug should that record hold?

Depending on the outcome of finding out if Barry did use performance enhancing drugs (I believe he did) that is how history will see him. If found out yes he did then he will go down in history as the man who cheated his way to the top.

If it is found out that he didn't use then 75 years from now it won't matter at all. Now should the record hold if he is busted.... That is a hard one. #1 he did hit the ball #2 he hit the ball because he was juiced and would he have been able to do as well not juiced. I am undecided.

Spring slumbers...

Pounding, lashing thunderstorms all morning long.
I took my youngest child to school.
When I returned home, though - drenched to the bone and spitting nickels from the traffic - I stripped off my wet things, slipped into a laundry-crisp cotton nightie, and crawled back in the bed with the Mister.

It was heavenly. All the windows in our second-storey bedroom open to the sounds of the storm, ceiling fan whirring lazily above our heads, J and I stole a delicious few hours of uninterrupted slumber, stretched out flat and hand-in-hand on the king size, I recently outfitted with luxury high thread-count linens.
God, it was grand, and all the more delightful because we felt like we were getting away with something, playing hooky, even though neither of us really had anywhere to be. Stress and tension leaked from my body, I tell you.

If you have not curled up with someone you trust lately, and slept a deep sleep in a thunderstorm, I highly recommend it. I promise you, it does a world of good for the spirits. Worth its weight in Prozac.

No talent Paris Hilton.....

We celebrate people with no brains. No talent, and no morals. Why should girls think that you have to act stupid and be a size 2 to be accepted? I think the attention Paris Hilton gets from the media is way out of proportion. Every single fart is well documented. Lets go back to that one incident that brought her to big fame. Yes, I’ve seen her well promoted "sex video". But even on fast forward, there is not much action going on and I would like to quote my former workmate, who admitted that he had "thrown away better porn".

What passes for entertainment in this day and age has little to do with talent. Unfortunately the average American has an unhealthy obsession with popular culture and Hollywood has perfected feeding this sickness to the point where anything that they put in front of the general public will be snapped up and celebrated, regardless of talent or ability. Most celebrities are more product than talent.

She never grew up to hear the word "NO." Thats what teens today have to look up too!

Welcome Home

And a soul for every cowboy.
And a star to guide him home.
And an angel to bring him A song to sing when he's alone.
For the night is far from over And the storm is coming on.
And the wind is blowing colder.
And he's very far from home.
When hell falls cold and wet.
His heart soon forgets.
That ever he was loved or wanted to be loved.

Live for today

Yesterday has gone

Tommorow may never come

My sister has just found out that she has a lump on her breast. I feel so totally helpless and have no idea what I can do to comfort her besides be there. Cancer runs in our family and It's the scariest feeling in the world to know (not know) the future.

Love you sis be strong!
