I was watching Sunday Morning today and it took a view of history discussing the influence of drinks. History can be divided into various "Ages". Like the Stone Age, Iron Age, Bronze Age:
Beer Age: Proof that god loves us. The workers that built the pyramids were given 4 loafs of bread and 8 pints of beer.
Wine Age: The Drink of Kings. The King of drinks!
Coffee Age: A drink that sharpened your mind in stead of dulling it.
Tea Age: Culture surrounded it as an indicator of the height of civilization
Cola Age: The mark of the modern era. An yes it had Cocaine in it originally.
Drink well, drink often, drink with Marty!!
World's Ugliest Dog Dies at 14
Sam, the tiny dog whose hairless body and crooked teeth earned him a reputation as the World's Ugliest Dog, has died.The pooch died Friday, just short of his 15th birthday, his owner said.
"I don't think there'll ever be another Sam," Susie Lockheed said, adding: "Some people would think that's a good thing."
--That is one ugly damn dog.
The Deer Hunter
I got my first deer of the season.
It was a perfect shot, and yet, it ran and I had to track it. The bullet was a through and through heart/lung shot, but it hit no bones, so it could run. I did the right thing and sat for ten minutes before tracking it. As expected it was less than a hundred yards away.
I was hunting with three friends. None of them have ever gotten a deer hunting before. So we were set for a lesson on field cleaning and skinning.
I will leave out the details, but now they are well and truly trained. Brenda was great later when I came home to process a huge pile of very red meat. We had it done in about two hours.
Now our kitchen is cleaner than ever!

I love LOST
Last week, a wet Walt appeared again on Lost. He spoke unintelligibly to her. But when Walt's words are played backwards, is he saying: "They're coming, and they're close"?
Also last week, in the hospital flashback where Shannon's dad died, you see Jack hurrying by in his scrubs. Was Jack's future wife - who was in the hospital after an auto accident - the driver of the SUV that killed him?
We probably won't get answers Wednesday in the extended episode (9-10:05 ET/PT) that focuses on the tail-section survivors.
--Can't wait! Good Stuff!!

Which Fantasy/SciFi Character Are You?
I was surprised to be found as Aragorn.
"Putting your appointed path ahead of any inner conflicts, you make your own rules for the benefit of all."
"If my life or death I can protect you, I will."
This is what a murderer looks like.
Kara Beth Borden is 14 and I think she got her 18 year old boyfriend to kill her parents because she had an argument with them over a curfew.It was not immediately clear whether the girl was abducted or went along willingly, but the cops are operating on the assumption she was kidnapped.
--Life in prison with no parole, dammit.
Garages and self esteem
This week I have been making an effort to clean out the garage. I never thought that my self esteem would be found in the garage. I tossed out so much stuff I amazed even myself.
I have been dragging some of that crap around for years and finally it's gone. I had 10 ISA sound cards in there. Still had a pile of 10base/T NICs.
I also touched my LPs. Oh man is that great. Now I gotta have a turntable. I'll buy one if I don't get one for Christmas. I also came across a giant pile of family photos. I see a big scanning project in the near future.
--Today I will be sorting out 4 bushels of computer and AV cables. Good times!

He still has the"Magic".
Anthony Hopkins is happy. Should we be frightened? I remember seeing the movie Magic when I was a senior in highschool. It scared the hell out of me. Corky went from being a funny, puppet side kick to the creepiest thing I had ever seen on the screen.
Mostly because it could have ALL been plausible.
Chucky never did a thing for me.
I remember nightmares, not about the movie, not about Corky, but about what Peggy Ann was about to find...
--Her moment of joy to horror that we never saw.

Yoko Says Sorry to Paul
The widow of John Lennon has apologized to Paul McCartney over comments made last month at England's Q Awards that insinuated that McCartney was a bad songwriter.--I need to make a list of people I'd like to *Mo-Slap! Yoko would be on it. I don't care if she's 72!
*Mo-Slap: If I have to explain to you what the Three Stooges are, you will be on the list...
Jury Rules Against Woman in Genital Gluing
GREENSBURG, Pa. - A Westmoreland County jury on Friday ordered a woman to pay $46,200 to her ex-boyfriend for gluing his genitals to his abdomen.
"For all the pain and suffering I've been through, and the embarrassment, I don't think it's enough," Slaby told reporters after the verdict.
Slaby's lawsuit said the two broke up in 1999 after dating for 10 months, and he began dating someone else. After he broke up with his other girlfriend, Slaby said, O'Toole invited him over to her home on May 7, 2000, where he fell asleep.
He said he woke up to find that O'Toole had used Super Glue to stick his genitals to his abdomen, glued his buttocks together and spelled out a profanity on his back in nail polish.
--What a BITCH!

"Lost" Gets Real
Is ABC trying to get Lost fans fired? As if there wasn't already enough material out there for superfans to obsess over, including a plethora of fan sites and message boards devoted to the show, now a Lost storyline is making the jump from fiction to reality.
ABC has announced plans to introduce a Lost subplot about a character named Gary Troup, a fictitious author who supposedly perished in the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, but left behind the manuscript on which he had been working, having dropped it off with his publisher just days before boarding the fatal flight.
Here's where the line between fact and fiction blurs: Hyperion Books, ABC's sister publishing label, is actually putting out said manuscript in book form this spring--here in the real world--to coincide with the related episodes of Lost.
The marketing ploy may be the first to combine characters and events from a television show with a real-life sales campaign, according to Variety.
New episodes of Lost resume Wednesday, Nov. 9 at 9 p.m. Set your TiVos now.
Man Kills Buck With Bare Hands in Bedroom
BENTONVILLE, Ark. - It looked like a crime scene, but no charges will be filed after Wayne Goldsberry killed a buck with his bare hands in his daughter's bedroom.
The engagement lasted an exhausting 40 minutes, but Goldsberry finally subdued the five-point whitetail deer that crashed through a bedroom window at his daughter's home Friday. When it was over, blood splattered the walls and the deer lay on the bedroom floor, its neck broken.
It lasted 40 MINUTES!?
