Thank goodness ...
Raindrops keep falling on my head...
A very wet day in Bakersfield
Posted by Hello
ok - where did this downpour come from? This morning when I looked up the weather, it said "am showers" - SHOWERS - not a freakin' downpour! It was nice this morning...all sunny and not at all cold. So, of course, I did not bring my jacket with me to work. I did have my umbrella in the car though. It was not til the afternoon that it started raining....a sprinkle at first, then it got harder, and harder, until it was pouring...then came the hail, and the thunder and lightning. Pretty soon it looked like an ocean outside. The road down the way got flooded, and the power went out for like 3 seconds, but that was 3 seconds long enough to knock out the traffic lights. So the drive home took forever, because the traffic lights were out down the road. The weather says "partly cloudy" tomorrow, but earlier it said "showers." So who knows what it will be like tomorrow. The weather forecast keeps changing by the hour it seems. That is why I always keep an umbrella in my car!
They will sell ANYTHING on Ebay
When I came across this story on the internet, I thought it was a joke. Some woman apparently is auctioning off her breast implant...yeah, a breast implant. Apparently, some time ago, she worked in a strip joint, and her big boobs supposedly caused a man whiplash, so he sued her. I guess she got tired of big boobs, so she had the implants removed and now is auctioning one of them off on Ebay. I looked it up, and yes, it is real.
This is the ad...
You are bidding on a PIECE OF HISTORY!
The infamous Playboy Cover Girl TAWNY PEAKS BREAST IMPLANT.
This is the implant from the first known documented Law Suit over
ASSAULT with a BREAST.
It made News World Wide.
You will receive the implant autographed to your specification
You will also receive a picture of Tawny Peaks signing the implant.
You will also receive an autographed copy of the Court Documented Complaint
the last time I looked, the high bid was $16,750 - yes, that is sixteen THOUSAND seven hundred fifty dollars. CRAZY! I guess they will sell anything on Ebay.

Urban legend or fact...only the Mythbusters can tell
Jamie prepares to make his co-host ... toast. (Not really, though. Obviously.)
Ever heard the legend that a man killed another man by throwing a playing card at him really hard, cutting his throat and killing him? Or did you ever hear the one about the woman who had been driving her car after grocery shopping on a hot day, and heard a loud "pop" and when she reached her hand to the back of her head, she felt what she thought were her brains leaking out of her head (turned out it was biscuit dough which had popped out of the can)? How about the one where a man supposedly survived a fall off of a scaffold by holding a piece of plywood, using it as a kind of glider? These are the kinds of things that hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman test out on each episode of Mythbusters. I love this show. They test out each of these myths in every way possible, trying their hardest to make them work. Sometimes they are found to be "plausible," and other times they are "busted." You can see this show on the Discovery Channel, every Wednesday at 9 pm (PT).
Here are a few examples of some episodes ...
Episode 21: Pingpong Rescue - It's wet-suit time for the MythBusters as Adam and Jamie investigate whether it's possible to lift a sunken boat from the ocean floor using only pingpong balls. Then Scottie, Tori and Kari get carried away testing a common Hollywood scene: Just how many balloons does it take to lift a 3-year-old child off the ground? premiere: Nov. 3, 2004
Episode 23: Exploding House - Just how hard is it to find a needle in a haystack? Egos fly as the MythBusters get competitive creating the supreme needle-finding machine. Then, returning to their familiar territory of blowing stuff up in the name of science, Jamie and Adam arm themselves with roach foggers and an abandoned apartment building to find out if toxic fumes and bug bombs really are an explosive combination. Finally, the MythBuilders hit the roof to prove whether or not whispering sweet nothings to your plants is the secret to gardening success. premiere: Nov. 16, 2004
Episode 4: Penny Drop, Deadly Microwaves, Radio Tooth Fillings - Can pennies from heaven kill? Or, more specifically, can a penny dropped from a skyscraper kill a pedestrian on the sidewalk below? Jamie and Adam take the challenge, hopefully without deadly results. Speaking of fatal fallacies, is it possible to literally bake yourself on a tanning bed from the inside out? The guys also investigate the claim that Lucille Ball exposed a Japanese spy ring by listening to radio signals transmitted by her tooth fillings. Hmmm ...
Episode 5: Hammer Bridge Drop, Buried Alive, Cola - Can Jamie and Adam cheat death? We'll find out. First, they test the theory that a person could survive a leap from a bridge by throwing a hammer in the water first. According to urban legend, the hammer should break the plane of the water's surface, thereby softening the landing. They'll also investigate whether it's possible to survive being buried alive. How long would it take before all oxygen is cut off inside the coffin causing suffocation? On the lighter side, the guys will take a look at the many myths about cola. Can it remove bloodstains, clean rust or cook a steak? They'll get back to you on that

MXC rocks!
Most Extreme Elimination Challenge is, without a doubt, the funniest game show on tv. It is actually a Japanese tv game show called "Takeshi's Castle," and it is overdubbed in English, with a whole lot of humor and sexual innuendo. It is hosted by Kenny Blankenship and Vic Romano, along with Guy LeDouche, who is sort of a field correspondant, and Captain Tenneal, the ringmaster of the whole show (all names are fictional of course). They have games like "Log Drop," "Pole Riders," "Eat Shitake," "Wet Spot," "Hand Job," and "Irritable Bowl Syndrome." These games are crazy! I am surprised anyone can actually make it through one of these stunts. But most of the time, the contestants crash and burn, the worst of which are featured at the end of the show in a segment called "Kenny Blankenship's Most Painful Eliminations of The Day." You can see it on Spike TV. The next airing will be on Saturday, March 5th at 9:30 pm (ET/PT).
"Don't get eliminated!"

Funny Stuff from George Carlin
"Darts could have been a sport, because at least there is a chance to put someone's eye out. But, alas, dart will never be a sport, because the whole object of the game is to reach zero, which goes against all sports logic."
"Just think, right now, all over the world there are people excercising bad judgment. Somebody, right this minute, is probably making the mistake of his life."
"What's wrong with having a prison in your neighborhood? It seems to me it would make for a fairly crime-free area. You think a lot of crackheads and thieves and hookers are gonna be hangin around in front of a prison? And if a couple of the prisoners do manage to escape, what do you think they are gonna do? Check real estate prices? That's the whole idea of breakin' out of prison: to get as far away as you possibly can."

Zombies and vampires and werewolves, oh my!
Thanks to horror movies, we can't be sure that anything we see is "safe." You never know if that is a regular frog, or if it is some flesh-eating, radioactive zombie frog. When you see that man coming down the street, you don't know if he will smile at you as he walks past, or if he will pull out a machete and cut your head off. When you walk in a graveyard, you watch your step to make sure a zombie won't poke its arm out of the ground and grab your foot. Because of horror movies, we won't go to bed until we have made sure the closet door is shut and we have checked under our beds for the boogeyman (and whatever else may be lurking there)...although I am not sure what we could really do if we found the boogeyman under the bed...hmmm...
I love horror movies. I think part of it is because I like to be scared, but only scared in the fictional sense. I don't like to be scared in real-life situations. There is a definite difference in horror movies and something horrible in real life. When you watch a scary movie, you KNOW that it is fake blood and that they are only actors. You KNOW that those are fake limbs that are being ripped off, and you know that makeup and animatronics are what make the monsters look so convincingly real. That is why I like horror movies. They entertain you. They scare you, but don't hurt you. They gross you out. They make you cover your eyes. They make you jump in your seat. But they are not real. Real life is way more terrifying than any scary movie. If you don't believe me, watch the news sometime.
Plus, some scary movies are just plain silly. They try to be all scary, but when it comes down to it, they are just plain dumb. Take a movie like Deadly Friend. It is all about a kid whose next door neighbor is killed and he brings her back to life, but she is not like she was before. She, in essence, is a zombie, who is incapable of feeling, but is apparently capable of killing. The acting is terrible, and the plot is pretty much non-existant. It is one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen. Yet, when it was on tv the last time, I stayed up until it was over to watch it...for what reason, I don't know! And how many times can Jason really come back from the dead? By now he should just be a pile of bones. Scary movies tend to suck you in like that, whether they are of good quality, like The Exorcist, or just plain dumb, like Crocodile. They have movies out there about everything under the sun...from killer rabbits (Night of The Lepus), killer frogs (Frogs), killer worms (Squirm), killer fish (Pirhana), and killer bees (The Swarm). They have the slashers like Jason, Freddy and Michael Meyers, who have what seems like a neverending arsenal of weapons, and kill their victims in new and inventive ways. Then they have the monster movies featuring monsters like werewolves, vampires, zombies and radiated, mutated humanoids. I swear, I don't think there is any area that horror writers haven't touched.
I, of course, have my favorites. I love Halloween and all of The Evil Dead movies. I like the straight-on, in your face, thrill-a-minute screamers as much as I like the cheesy horror films, with the horrible acting and not-so-special effects. I like the campy horror films and the low budget slashers. I just like scary movies, period.
There haven't been too many scary movies recently which I have thought were really good. I did like Dawn of The Dead, 28 Days Later, and The Grudge. And I can't wait til The Ring 2 comes out. I have been watching those Japanese horror movies lately, like the Ju-on series (Ju-On means "The Grudge"), The Wishing Stairs, and Ringu (which The Ring was based on). And there was a Cambodian movie called The Eye, which was really good too. What makes those movies so good, is that they favor eerieness over blood and gore. And the creepy quality to those movies is what makes them so scary. Plus, a lot of them have the token creepy little kid in them, and you know that horror movie plus creepy little kid is the equation for a reallllllly creepy horror film...the kind that makes the hair on the back of your head stand up.
I guess there will always be the writers out there who see something and think, "I bet I can make a horror movie out of that!" I am sure we will eventually see a movie about a killer copying machine or a killer microwave. Who knows. Thankfully, there are a lot of writers out there who care about quality, and not about how big their body count is. And I think, because of that, we will continue to be scared in new and neverending ways.

A poem by TS Eliot
La Figlia che Piange
STAND on the highest pavement of the stair—
Lean on a garden urn—
Weave, weave the sunlight in your hair—
Clasp your flowers to you with a pained surprise—
Fling them to the ground and turn
With a fugitive resentment in your eyes:
But weave, weave the sunlight in your hair.
So I would have had him leave,
So I would have had her stand and grieve,
So he would have left
As the soul leaves the body torn and bruised,
As the mind deserts the body it has used.
I should find
Some way incomparably light and deft,
Some way we both should understand,
Simple and faithless as a smile and shake of the hand.
She turned away, but with the autumn weather
Compelled my imagination many days,
Many days and many hours:
Her hair over her arms and her arms full of flowers.
And I wonder how they should have been together!
I should have lost a gesture and a pose.
Sometimes these cogitations still amaze
The troubled midnight and the noon’s repose.

Stuff that has crossed my mind lately....
Can 1 + 1 ever be anything other than 2 ?
Why is math so hard?
Chocolate may very well be the answer to world peace.
In the game of life, there are never any real winners. Everyone loses eventually.
Why is my printer so slow?
Why are people so mean to each other?
Did I remember to unplug my curling iron?
I forgot my umbrella at home and it is supposed to rain.
I love my parents.
I wish I had a dog.
Why do I think so much?
There is nothing cuter than a baby's smile.
I wonder if anyone will call me today.
Why do I have to get migraines?
PMS - ugh
Who in the heck came up with the phrase "by the skin of my teeth?" Who has skin on their teeth???
I wonder what my grandma is doing right now.
Politically correct people can kiss my as*
It is about time Morgan Freeman won an Oscar.
I wonder just how many licks it does take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop.

They need a law for this??
Sex is good, sex is great -but there are some things that just aren't supposed to go with it - apparently they actually needed laws for these things (so someone must have actually done these before, which is scary), while others are just plain stupid! ~
~ In Connorsville, Wisconsin, it is illegal for a man to shoot off his gun when his female partner has an orgasm (so I guess it is ok for a woman to shoot off a gun when her man has an orgasm...hmmm)
~ Bozeman, Montana has a law which prohibits all sexual activity between members of the opposite sex in the front yard of a home after sundown...if they are nude. (so I guess it is ok before sundown, or after sundown as long as you keep your clothes on)
~ In Libery Comer, New Jersey, if you hit the horn while you are "frolicking" in a parked car, you can face a jail term.
~ In Carlsbad, New Mexico, you can have sex in a parked car or van on your lunch break as long as the car or van has curtains that you can draw closed to keep people from peeking in.
~ In Oblong, Illinois, it is illegal to make love on your wedding day while hunting or fishing. (talk about multi-tasking!)
~ In Cali, Colombia, a woman can only have sex with her husband, and on the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to witness it (EWWWWWWWWWW!)
~ In Washington, there is a law which states that it is illegal to have sex with a virgin under any circumstances ... including the wedding night. (hello....has anyone explained the concept of logic to these lawmakers???)
~ An ordinance in Newcastle, Wyoming, specifically bans couples from having sex while standing inside a store's walk-in meat freezer. (I would think long and hard about becoming a vegetarian if I lived there)
~ Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England...but only in tropical fish stores. (I can't figure out the logic behind this one, and I am not going to strain my brain trying to figure it out.)
~ In Birmingham, England, it is illegal for a man and a woman to have sex on the steps of any church after sundown. (why are these things only illegal AFTER the sun goes down??)
~ The penalty in Indonesia for pleasuring yourself is decapitation. (good lord!!!!)
~ In Fairbanks, Alaska, a moose cannot have sex on the city streets. (I'd like to see ANYONE tell a moose he can't do something - go ahead! be my guest.)
~ In Ventura County, California, cats and dogs are not allowed to have sex without a permit. (tell me who is going to enforce this ?)
~ A Tremonton, Utah law states that no woman is allowed to have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance. In addition to pressing charges, the city publishes the woman's name in a local newspaper. The man does not receive any punishment. (clearly a man wrote this law!)
~ In Oxford, Ohio, it is illegal for a woman to stip off her clothing while standing in front of a man's picture. (again, written by a man)
~ In Kentucky, a woman cannot appear on any highway in a bathing suit, unless she is escorted by at least 2 officers or be armed herself with a club. (I have no comment for this one)

Sweet!
I saw Napoleon Dynamite the other day, and it was absolutely hilarious. I won't ruin it for those of you who haven't seen it, but it is nice to see the nerds finally triumph. There are so many movies out there where the popular peeps win everything (with the exception of "Revenge of the Nerds"). Way to go Pedo!! That movie reminded me of school sooooo much, because there was a kid I knew who talked just like Napoleon. All of the characters were pretty good, but I HATED Uncle Rico, who reminded me of some lecherous porn shop loiterer, and Kip, who reminded me of Lt. Dangle on Reno 911. All in all, I would give it 8 out of 10 stars. Funny times for everyone.
Uncle Rico: I wish you wouldn't look at me like that Napoleon.
Napoleon: I wish you'd get out of my life and shut up!
Uncle Rico: I'm gonna tell you something right now. While you're out there playing patty-cake with your friend, Pedro, your uncle Rico is making 120 bucks.
Napoleon: I could make that much money in 5 seconds.
Kip: Geez! Yeah, right Napoleon. I made like 75 bucks today.
Uncle Rico: Napoleon, it looks like you don't have a job. So why don't you get out there and feed Tina.
Napoleon: Why don't you go eat a decroded piece of crap!

~ Leftovers make you feel good twice. First, when you put them away, you feel thrifty and intelligent: "I'm saving food!" Then, a month later, when blue hair is growing out of the ham, and you throw it away, you feel REALLY intelligent: "I'm saving my life!"
~ People get all upset about torture, but when you get right down to it, it's a pretty good way of finding out something a person doesn't want you to know.

You know what I can't figure out?
You know what I can't figure out? I can't figure out what goes through the mind of a criminal. I can tell you that there is no common sense going on in there. I think in order to be a criminal, you have to be just plain stupid, or not all there mentally. Take for instance the man who killed his pregnant girlfriend and her son. He supposedly killed her because he didn't want his wife finding out she was pregnant. Well, if he had stopped to think about it before he killed her, he would have realized (provided he was using his brain), that getting a girl pregnant is a whole lot better than murdering someone. Think about it girls...would you rather be with a man who got a girl pregnant or one who murdered someone? (and if you have to think about this for more than a second, you need help - lol) Just the other day I saw a headline about a man who shot and killed his ex-wife and someone else because he was angry for being sued for unpaid child support. Well guess what mister....now you are gonna go to prison too! I don't know what drives people to do the things they do. Thankfully, I have brains, so you won't find me shooting up a bank to get some money. After all, what good is money going to be to you if you aren't free to spend it?

Beautiful or Ugly?
What is it about a person that makes him or her beautiful or ugly? Is it something physical such as facial structure or body type? Or is it something deeper, like intellect or personality? I suppose the answer to that question depends on the person you ask. Some people prefer the company of the so-called "beautiful people," while others prefer the company of those who share some common ground with them. I prefer to be with people who have more than just face value. If you think about it, physical beauty is something dependent on the area of the world people live in . In some places, tattoos and piercings are the things that make a person attractive. In some other places, people get their teeth carved into pointy triangles because that is supposed to be the mark of true beauty. In other parts of the world, heavy people are regarded as beautiful, while in others, skinny is in. So what is the beauty standard? The answer is simple...there is NO physical beauty standard. There cannot be a single standard if every region of the world has its own. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder, as the old adage states.
There is a standard of beauty though that is universal. But it does not involve anything physical. Real beauty is found below the skin. It lies in the heart and soul of the person. A person with a good heart is really beautiful, no matter how tall or short they are, or what color their skin is, or how skinny or fat they are. You may marry a person because he or she looks good ... but we are all going to get old and grey and wrinkled someday, and what are you going to do once the looks fade? Trade him or her in for a newer model? By then, your looks will have faded too, and who will want you? Maybe that would be the ultimate justice. I just don't see much use in good physical looks. I would much rather date a man who respected me and liked me for who I was than an arrogant, self-centered jerk who thought he was God's gift to women. But that is just me (and I would hope a few more people out in the world thought like me, too).
With all of these fashion magazines out there, it is no wonder we have such low self-esteem. Striving to look like a supermodel will only lead to a few things: being broke all the time from buying all these beauty products that we feel we NEED, the increase in business to plastic surgeons, and eating disorders. It almost seems like more trouble than it's worth.
So whether you are short or tall, skinny or fat, black or white, have a big nose or a perfect nose, it doesn't matter... the most important thing is to concentrate on your inner beauty. If you have inner beauty, you will be lucky enough to find people that really appreciate YOU and not just your perfect nose.
There is a standard of beauty though that is universal. But it does not involve anything physical. Real beauty is found below the skin. It lies in the heart and soul of the person. A person with a good heart is really beautiful, no matter how tall or short they are, or what color their skin is, or how skinny or fat they are.
