Tin poisoning?

Got a line on a no-load mutual fund these days paying 8% and won't abscond with the dough in 6 months, or pump and dump to fatten the big boys' wallets?

Nah. OH says you can play pairs, but after trying unsuccessfully now and then for years, I conclude that they are lying. I've even wasted time talking to lottery agents - useless - they are nothing but a (numerous) bunch of patronage job hacks... It was a snap in Pennsylvania. OH's lotto games are terrible anyway you look at them. Within a couple of months after taking over for the previous turd (Bob Taft - R) Governor Ted Strickland - D demanded that the various lotto games' odds of winning be reduced.

Never dare a kid to do something. When I was - oh - 17, a co-worker of mine (he carried the overarching smell of a congenital braggart about him, btw) stuck his foot in front of my left tire, and dared me to run over it. I did. He fell to the side - lucky for him...I had shifted into reverse ready to deliver the coup de grâce. He was out of the cast in only six weeks - and a humbler person. In a way, I helped him along life's path.

I do have to give'em a bit of credit...for protecting their assets... When they drafted Lemieux (I think he was 19) he was plunked down into the care of a family in Lebanon, PA, had a strict curfew, and restricted access to his dough. These days, some folks would be vandalizing in the streets, crying "Oppression! Free Mario!"...

I still think that Buddy Ryan's punch at OC Gilbride was a great NFL moment...

You did your best, Clipper...the balls flew, and settled on 564. http://www.ohiolottery.com/

The Rules of Running the Ball Inside the 10: 1. Turn off the QB's helmet receiver so the idiot OC can't interfere. 2. Snap the ball on a 2-count. 3. Repeat as necessary.

Often...

I hope the Pens burn in h*ll. I went to games when I lived there - when they stunk. Then they got their hands on Lemieux. Next season, they jacked up tix prices, demanded that you buy multiple-game "packages" if you wanted to see a game with the Oilers etc. They bought a bunch of folding wooden chairs which were put in the aisles behind permanent seating, and extracted full price for the privilege of watching the back of somebody's head. Season tix holders had something called the "Igloo Club." When Mario came, the next year they were told that the ticket blocks that they purchased for a long time so they could sit together...were no more.

Not surprised - socialist government, everybody is special, etc. When they essentially banned firearms several years ago, crime skyrocketed. Folks couldn't defend themselves, the deterrent factor was wiped away. There's a term - "Glasgowing" which refers to the knife stabbings. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime...als-737329.html I have read repeatedly, that the average Londoner is photographed 500 times a day by the government cameras. Sorry for the rant...

Saw this in the morning n'paper: http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20100601/SPT02/6020372

Were they wearing string bikini bottoms?

Calm down, Steve, and have some comfort food. I recommend a Clarke Bar.

In general, they are stunning - evidently, in more ways than one.

Update...6/2/10: Ohio women continue their rampage... http://news.cincinnati.com/article/2010060...s-go-wild-again

The bet has been laid down. I will report back with the number about 1:30 PM today.

If this fellow has a concert around your town - go. He's a musical genius - 10 Grammys, guest conducts symphony orchestras etc.!

Zombie Jamboree:

No. I visited Milwaukee in 1974, though. Cheap beer at one local bar...a Pabst draft cost 15 cents. But that was 36 years ago. Much good came out of my visit. I stayed 2 or three days at the apartment of a gal that I worked with in my grocery store days. Totally platonic, but her boyfriend got worried and proposed marriage. Last I heard, they have grandchildren aplenty.

If that number Clip Smith gave me hits tomorrow, I will be able to purchase 1,697 (1101010001) cans of my beloved Milwaukee Best Ice swill.

99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer. If one of those bottle happen to fall, 98 bottles of beer on the wall...

It's all about the children. I see him as an inventive young lad with a bright future ahead.
