Since I'm more redneck than pyrate, I thought I'd invite y'all to Prescott this year for our BIG rodeo. Prescott Rodeo If you've never been to a rodeo, WHY NOT?! Experience a bit of Americana and take a trip into the Old West. Arizona is still the Wild West where people still openly carry guns (though we've toned the gunfights at high noon down just a bit fer the scaredycats!) If anyone is interested in seeing the rodeo this year, I can help make arrangements for you. There is lots of history (I am a history buff, just not a history professor - so don't ask me a whole lotta stuff) and even an 1882 outfitting store for those who want to revel year round in Cowboy B…

Subliminal messages, aye? I expect to hear people clucking about this. I'll bet it's going to put those who don't have time to crack the codes in a fowl mood.

I went through the drive through to make a deposit tonight. I pulled forward after getting my reciept and realized that I don't have my card, so I put my car in park and ran back. There was a guy standing there complaining his card wouldn't work. I took my card and went home. I just checked my account online. The bastard had quick hands. He did a quickcash request in the few seconds the card was out of my sight. Now it's in the bank's hands. Bloody Pyrate.

I love these books! They're some of the funniest, most confusing stuff I've ever read. I've read the first, second, and fourth ones. (actually, i read the fourth first ) But, uh, is the second one supposed to skip from page 154 to 187? I just got it today, and got to that part about 20 minutes ago, and maybe I just dont get it. the spine of the book isnt messed up, but theres a weird edge on page 187. Whoa... off topic... But anyway... Did anyone else ever read them?

Attention Florida pirates! My family and I are taking a BIG vacation to Disney World in February (February 12-16) and I need some information from those who actually live there and go to the parks. We have a planning guide video we've been watching but they tend to sugar-coat everything. I want real answers. First, how crowded is the resort in February? Second, what rides would you recommend as "must-see" for 11-year old and 6-year old boys? Third, what is the weather generally like? My youngest is high-functioning autistic, so his maturity is about at a 4- or 5-year old level. We go to Disneyland a lot so I'm looking for things that would be new to us. We're only …

The largest reconstructed fortress in North America is under seige again. Fortress Louisbourg, located along the eastern shore of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, is the scene of an archeological scramble, as a recent storm washed away shoreline to reveal a long portion of the fort's original wall of 1735. Louisbourg was France's great sentinel against the British in Cape Breton. Here be a link to the news report by the CBC: Fortress Louisbourg I have visited Louisbourg twice in recent years and find it absolutely spellbinding, truly one of the greatest reconstructed fortresses in the world.

I am upset about the Olympics. It is a sham, a terrible shame, that a major sporting event has been overlooked and excluded from Olympic glory. This should be a major event in the Olympic games, I tell you! It is dramatic, it is dangerous, it is intense, it is a requirement of great skill and coordination as well as rigorous training. I am talking about, of course, Extreme Ironing. http://www.extremeironing.com/index.php

My Aunt called today to say that my Grandma took a miss step off the porch fell, and broke her hip. She will need surgery an she will spend some time in rehab. I know she will be well for she is a strong lady. As for me, I put in a request for a "tub lift" please pray that it will come soon. Yes a shower chair is alright, but I am a woman,and a woman without her "bubble bath" Is like icecream without chocolate. But seriously, it is the pain in my hips that is making it so difficult for me now, and a nice hot bath helps the circulation (keeps my legs warm), thus keeps my hips from hurting. I know this all is probably too much info, but I thought if you knew why th…

I'm not exactly sure where I should post this, but I'd like to translate a phrase into latin for a little project. I assume that there's a translator to do such a thing somewhere on the internet, but I can't find it. Of course, if anybody here knows latin and can give me a rough translation, that would be lovely too. Thanks in advance! - Weasel

1 Skull Hangover No pain. No real feeling of illness... Your sleep last night was a mere disco nap which is giving you a whole lot of misplaced energy. Be glad that you are able to function relatively well. However, you are still parched. You can drink 10 bottles of water and still feel this way. Even vegetarians are craving a Cheeseburger and a side of fries. 2 Skull Hangover Slight headache. Don't feel sick, but something is definitely amiss. You may look okay but you have the attention span and mental capacity of a stapler. The coffee you chug to try and remain focused is only exacerbating your rumbling gut, which is craving a full English breakf…
