Forgetful???

Ed was in trouble. He had forgotten his wedding anniversary. His wife was really angry. She told him, "Tomorrow morning I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less then 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!"

The next morning Ed got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box, gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway. Confused, the wife put on her robe, ran out to the driveway, and brought the box into the house. She opened it and found ....




a brand new bathroom scale.

Ed has been missing for over a week.

Sutherland charged with misdemeanor DUI



It sounds like "Jack Bauer" could end up in jail if he is found guilty of violating his probation for a 04 DUI. I guess he will be starring in a prisonbreak spin off if this happens. I guess people will never learn to not "drink and drive".

Navy to Modify Barracks Complex That Resembles a Swastika From Air!



I wonder if this is going to be Mr Parrish's home in San Diego. He's blond hair, blue eyes, so he should have a good chance to get in these barracks :)

'Lost Colony' search goes on centuries later.



I don't think they will ever know for sure what happened, but it makes for some interesting theories.

18 Years Ago Today...



Hugo, a category 4 Hurricane, struck Charleston SC and continued inland all the way to Charlotte. Hugo was the most costly hurricane to ever hit the US at that time. I was in Columbia, SC when Hugo struck and I have memories that I will never forget. The howling wind, watching transformers blow up and light the Columbia skyline, and driving around in my VW Beetle a few hours that night as the wind and rain arrived.

Doctors try to reattach man's arm bitten off by 12-foot gator



It appears that the man was very fortunate that the group of nurses were near by and able to help him. I can't even imagine what it must be like to be attacked by a gator.

Lousy performance warrants fan exodus!



Jeremy and I did stay til the bitter end of that game. I was so excited when Jeremy invited me on Thursday to go to this game. The Panthers had a chance to start 2-0 and grab the division with their next three games (Falcons, Bucs, and Saints). We built a 14-0 lead but then the wheels came off that wagon. It was Deja Vu, since the last game that we saw at Panther Stadium, started the same way. I hope that the next time I go to a Panther game that the Panthers get behind 14-0 and we may just win that one.

Simpson Arrested In Armed Robbery Case!




O.J. has gone from murder to now armed robbery! Wow, It's a shame that Johnny Cochran is no longer with us to help defend O.J. I guess O.J. will need to call Michael Vick and get the number for his lawyers (but that did not go too well for Vick).

North Carolina High School Bans American Flag!



I can't believe that a school in my state, NC, has banned wearing shirts with the American Flag on it. I hope every person in that county goes and protests that school board and those behind this incredible rule. This is a disgrace.

I'm not sure if he's the answer for the Republicans, but I'm going to read up on his positions. I'm still not a fan of the ones in the race at this time.

Judge Sends Duke Prosecutor to Jail for 1 Day!



Wow, a one day prison sentence. I think he deserves more than one day for what he did to the lacrosse players, Duke University, and Duke fans for an entire year. He deserves at least 12 days (1 day for every month that he ruined their lives).
