It's traditional that each generation thinks it invented sex - in all its' variations. Not so...the Romans and their predecessors did it all long before we were hatched.

A long time ago, back in the days of the returnable glass milk bottle, there were expressions - "liver milker, eh?" and "sheep in a bottle". Enough raw liver was inserted until a comfortable point was attained, and the perpetrator then went to town. Strange but true...

Thoreau - Walden, 1854... "A man does not own a house, a house owns a man."

While your digging around up there - they sell devices that activate the powered vent if humidity rises above a pre-set level. Not a bad idea - the main challenge facing a house being to keep the heat in and keep the water out.

I defend Beerball till death or dinnertime...whichever comes first.

Isn't he married to April Showers? Or was it Annie Sprinkle?

I prefer a full-bodied Wine O.

...sounds like another Teyo Johnson.

Maybe that was their way to apologize to Ralph for calling him senile.

I wish I had some Earth Hour T-Shirts to sell. The back would say "France is 80% Nuclear. How about us?"

I wonder where that would put counties that bought into the owner's extortions. Hamilton County, OH's citizens voted that a 1/2% additional sales tax be imposed upon them (I wasn't living in the county at the time - the B'gals could have left town as far as I was concerned). They then issued bonds to be paid back by the sales tax revenue. $400 million or so - I forget. As sales tax revenue declined the past few years, they have re-financed at least once AFAIK.

Happpy B'Day, Clumpy!

Why, Thank you. BTW, the Shur-Line edge products are tops for producing a clean line between wall and ceiling...

Nah...keep it here. NF needs recognition.

Small world...a brother-in-law of mine retired from Yellow Freight five or so years ago. He did dock work for 30 years and was a Teamster committeeman. After the '93 acquisition of Preston and that two-tier wage garbage, he ran for and won higher union office.

Hayes, Rentzel, Meredith, Morton, Staubach, Lilly, Howley, Jordan, Hill, Thomas, etc. The Landry-led Cows were top teams.

For those who saw "Bullet Bob" play... Hayes died of kidney failure and liver problems and prostate cancer at age 59, in 2002. He was a remarkable player. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor...&id=3312940

Will this inspire your next avatar choice?

One gold star to you for your history knowledge.

That's right. BTW, I am painting my kitchen...ceiling, walls, and cabinets...with Valspar and Glidden paints. Just wanted to let you know.

A little pizazz would be nice! I've always felt they should use Roscoe more. The musings here about a trade for CIN's Chad Johnson and this or that draft pick...if it came to a player as part of a deal, they wouldn't want Kelsay - they would want Roscoe.

I can't recall who, but some pundit after mid-season commented that they played the dullest football he could recall. I know they were in at least two games where the 1st half took little more than an hour...
