this was emailed to me recently. funny how little we truly progress in 2000 years.

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC

My trip home was short lived. I am headed back to India for 2 months on Friday. See you in April.

"That finger was kind of in the way anyway."

- Scott Alan Dalrymple

When you have 20 acres of land to basically play in dirt, something is bound to happen eventually. My father got the tip of his finger smashed between his tractor roll bar and a tree the other weekend. He pulled back and ripped the tip of his left index finger off. He was wearing gloves, so when he pulled his hand out, all he saw was what looked like "smashed hamburger meat". The tip of his finger was found later inside his glove.

The picture above is the first I have seen of it, my mom told him he was very immature for creating a picture like this, and in response he said "So what Judy?!". Judy also told him that she didnt want him going to his 20 acres by himself anymore, he said that it is not that big of a deal, it was only the end of a finger and it was "kind of in the way anyway."

His one and only concern since this incident two weeks ago is typing.

these are the troubling times we live in:

After further review, and being gchat insulted by L, I realized there is something far more frightening than Williams and I's fratitude.

There is a snake in this picture. Look into his eyes. Creeping like a Tater Tot Medusa.

Clint Brown ESQ, 47, Global Financier

If ever a soul endlessly sought enlightenment and emasculation it was Clint Brown's. The renewable energy guru's body was discovered in a crevasse along Himalayan Mt. Everest. The eco-philanthropist/businessman had previously been on a visit to Tibet in an effort to jump start the country's renewable resources' production and allocation. His trek included Nepal, where the amateur mountaineer intended to summit Everest. Lost on the mountain, his body, 3 months later, was found naked, and frozen to his sherpa. He is left behind by his enormous fortune, ex-husband, widow, and 7 daughters.

Lee Mathew Portillo, 77, Doctor of Scientology

Lee Portillo died yesterday in a fatal car accident. While driving his vintage hatchback (that had no roof and no steering wheel) he was run over by a 2059 Hummer XXX. Police said the accident could have been avoided if Portillo wasn't on his "cell phone" which was simply a tin can on a string. Phone reports indicate Portillo was on a 6-way call with his mom, sister, cousin, brother-in-law, wife, and best friend attempting to coerce them all to meet that evening for one box of Tuna Helper®. He survived by his hot wife and nano-dog.

and now for something completely different...

how about we all write an obituary? each of us will write one for someone else.

any takers?

if so, i call clint's, or mazur's(you both die similarly).

process of elimination from there.

more fun...

One Shoe

Is there anything lonelier? It's still good and strong, but without it's mate it is utterly useless. Once in high school, I lost my favorite Abercrombie sandal, and kept the other for years because I loved that sandal. Until one day I finally had to toss it.

After the other night, Brent Lubahn found himself in a similar situation. This shoe (it took me 15 minutes to find this thing online. I searched "shag slipon" and "hemp loafer")

The day after XMas, Williams and I found ourselves at the residence of the Lubahn's playing Scrabble® with his darling pregnant wife. Williams won with "wussy," which is still under protest. Adam and Adam drank Tecate Lights while Lubahn ran out of Kool Aid for his Vodka and was forced to mix it with Mug Root Beer. Concerned his tipsiness would reach epic proportions before there had been a triple word score I confiscated the spiked saspirilla.

We departed for CityView Lanes (formally Don Carter's) where we met the Duke. Before I got my two-tone shoes on Lubahn had two beers and a shot for each of us. The teams; Duke and I versus the other Adam and the boy from Winona. They beat us handedly. Belanger showed up at the end iof the night. Lubahn immediately began to say in a not-so-soft voice "I hate that guy."

We left. Williams kept his bowling shoes. We brought Lubahn home and got in to what has become mandatory yard brawling. Williams attempted to hug Lubahn good-bye and received a kick in the thigh. When I tried to hug Lu he tried to knee me in the balls. I responded by delivering a sudden and violent leg sweep. Rendering him paralyzed in the grass. Williams then removed his shoe and threw it over his house a good 40 yards. When he rose, Williams and I played ping pong with Lubahn's body. Pushing him back and forth and eventually head first into his bushes. Where he was stuck like a man in the stocks. It was an inevitable and lovely end to another wonderful night out with my best mates.

The I.C. never disappoints.

Ran into a couple of these during a biking/snorkling adventure this weekend.

The Quokka (Setonix brachyurus), the only member of the genus Setonix, is a small macropod about the size of a large domestic cat.[2] Like other marsupials in the macropod family (such as the kangaroos and wallabies), the Quokka is herbivorous and mainly nocturnal.

The Quokka has no fear of humans and it is common for it to approach them closely, particularly on Rottnest Island.

I just hope he gets on the IC to see it....

Here's to you B-Dub,

Happy Birthday!

Tonight we'll head to the Purple Moon son, Ginger will be there shakin' a tush. Ya see?! Yaaaaa!

Slingin' Sammy Baugh - TCU Legend

For those of you who do not know, Sammy Baugh is credited as the first Quarterback to use the forward passing game as a common threat in football. He was an incredible player during his time, he once had a game where he threw 4 TDs, punted the ball 85 yards, and intercepted 4 passes - this guy did it all. TCU would have never had those National Championships had it not been for Sammy Baugh.

In 1999, he was named the third-greatest NFL player of the 20th century by the Associated Press and the third-greatest college football player by College Football News.

"His legacy is still talked about around town," said LaDainian Tomlinson, an All-American at TCU in 2000 and the 2006 NFL MVP. "He was a football player. I think he'll probably be remembered as the greatest football player here at TCU."

"The TCU family lost one of its own today," Frogs coach Gary Patterson said. "Sam Baugh was TCU."

"He's the greatest quarterback who ever lived and the greatest punter. Other than that, he wasn't any good," said author Dan Jenkins, TCU's sports historian

Legend has it that during Baugh’s first practice with the Redskins, coach Ray Flannery, a gruff old-timer, tossed a football to Baugh.
“They tell me you’re quite a passer,’’ said Flaherty.
“I reckon I can throw a little,” said Baugh.
“Let’s see it,” said Flaherty. “Hit that receiver in the eye.”
Baugh looked downfield at receiver Wayne Millner and calmly said: “Which eye?”
