<BR><BR><br />
<h4><b><font color="#c00000">NOW We Are Having Fun !</font></b></h4>
<p>I really love Germans.  I really do !  They know exactly how to have fun &#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">German police had to rescue a 20-year-old man from a train station suitcase locker after he shut himself in for fun and began to suffocate.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>I don&#8217;t really &#8230; I can&#8217;t &#8230; O.K., why ?  Disneyland sounds fun.  Winning the lottery sounds fun.  Going four wheeling on really muddy hills sounds fun.  Going swimming sounds fun.  Suffocating to death in a locker &#8230; sure &#8230; sounds fun to me! &#8216;Course I&#8217;m half German so &#8230;..<br />
<BR>(warning to those easily swayed &#8230; DO NOT lock yourself in a locker.  It really can be deadly)<br />
<i>( <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090717/od_nm/us_germany_locker_odd;_ylt=Al0xlnqNLu0b8gdr6XSEgx_tiBIF;_ylu=X3oDMTJxOTRiZGsxBGFzc2V0A25tLzIwMDkwNzE3L3VzX2dlcm1hbnlfbG9ja2VyX29kZARwb3MDNgRzZWMDeW5fYXJ0aWNsZV9zdW1tYXJ5X2xpc3QEc2xrA2FuZHdoeWRpZHRoZQ--">official news report</a> )</i><br />
<BR><BR><br />
<h4><b><font color="#c00000">2 Weeks and Sill Going !</font></b></h4>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">When an Ohio man vacated his foreclosed home near Akron, he left behind nearly 100 cats and a stench. </span></p></blockquote>
<p>Apparently they have been rounding-up cats in this house for over 2 weeks and they still are not done.  I feel real bad for the poor people having to clean up  that house &#8230; especially the person shoveling up all of the cat waste that is on the floors.  I guess the &#8220;ex&#8221;-homeowner wasn&#8217;t feeling jolly enough to leave behind the traditional foreclosure present &#8230; a bowl of lollipops.<br />
<BR>Thank goodness he didn&#8217;t live in a German suitcase locker !  Could you even get 100 cats into one of those ?<br />
<i>( <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090722/ap_on_fe_st/us_odd_foreclosure_cat_infestation;_ylt=Aj31ty8kFvg01N0qzfkwzKbtiBIF;_ylu=X3oDMTM3N3AyaDAzBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMDkwNzIyL3VzX29kZF9mb3JlY2xvc3VyZV9jYXRfaW5mZXN0YXRpb24EcG9zAzcEc2VjA3luX2FydGljbGVfc3VtbWFyeV9saXN0BHNsawNmb3JlY2xvc2Vkb2g-">official news report</a> )</i><br />
<BR><BR><br />
<h4><b><font color="#c00000">That Was A little Chewy !</font></b></h4>
<p>I am not a real big soup fan.  I think I may have liked it better when I was younger, but the pleasure has since wore off.  I do, though, enjoy a well prepared or unique soup.  Nothing real wild &#8230; just unique &#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">A man has sued a local Claim Jumper restaurant claiming he ordered French onion soup and bit into a condom instead of melted cheese.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Yeah, um, that is a little too unique for me.  Oh, and <b>DISGUSTING</b> !  I have re-analyzed my stance on soup and I think I will just stick with good ole  Chicken Soup.<br />

<BR><BR><br />
<h4><b><font color="#c00000">India ?</font></b></h4>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">PATNA, India (Reuters) – Farmers in an eastern Indian state have asked their unmarried daughters to plow parched fields naked in a bid to embarrass the weather gods</span></p></blockquote>
<p>I really have very little to add to this story.  I am just wondering that if, maybe, any of these people offer lawn care service &#8230; I do hate cutting grass.<br />
<i>( <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090723/od_nm/us_girls_odd;_ylt=AkZ8mXkJWFkkJYUcA_7uCYrtiBIF;_ylu=X3oDMTI4YWg5NnBuBGFzc2V0A25tLzIwMDkwNzIzL3VzX2dpcmxzX29kZARwb3MDMgRzZWMDeW5fc3ViY2F0X2xpc3QEc2xrA25ha2VkZ2lybHNwbA--">official news report</a> )</i><br />
<BR><BR><br />
<h4><b><font color="#c00000">Seriously, India ?</font></b></h4>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">A state parliament in eastern India was suspended Thursday after a suspected cobra slithered into the legislative building and hid under the lawmakers&#8217; seats.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Ummm &#8230; ok &#8230; forget the lawn care request.   I am NOT moving to India.<br />
<BR>But for the safety of the ladies working in the field &#8230; can they at least wear tall boots ?  Snake bites are nasty !<br />
<i>( <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090723/od_afp/indiaanimaloffbeat_20090723160527;_ylt=ArM51J4NkMVGwHawatmtvyHtiBIF;_ylu=X3oDMTJwY2E3OTRoBGFzc2V0A2FmcC8yMDA5MDcyMy9pbmRpYWFuaW1hbG9mZmJlYXQEcG9zAzExBHNlYwN5bl9hcnRpY2xlX3N1bW1hcnlfbGlzdARzbGsDY29icmFwdXRzaW5k">official news report</a> )</i><br />
<BR><br />
<B>In unrelated news &#8230;<BR><br />
<h4><font color="#c00000">Blogger Sells Movie Rights</font></b></h4>
<p>Fox Searchlight Pictures announced today that they have procured the movie rights to &#8220;Dead Dust&#8221;, a script written by blogger Chris.  The not-so-famous blogger of the &#8220;Fourced&#8221; web site describes the movie as an epic serial killing for the 21st century.<br />
<BR>The storyline follows the true life story of serial killer Blanken Bishop as he forces young women to eat what he calls &#8216;condom soup&#8217; after they have plowed fields in the nude. &#8220;The chills build when you hear these poor women chant ancient hymns off in the distance.&#8221; Chris recited, &#8220;But the cobras that Blanken has placed under their beds will turn your chills into down right fear&#8221;.<br />
<BR>&#8220;To be honest,&#8221; Chris continues, &#8220;I had a difficult time writing about Blanken&#8217;s celebratory act of stuffing 100&#8217;s of cats into railway lockers after a killing.  To me it didn&#8217;t make since at the time but I wanted to make sure this movie was 100% accurate.  Later I realized Blanken&#8217;s disturbing, yet some say unique, connection between naked women, snakes, and cats.  And that sent a chill down MY spine.&#8221;</p>

<h4><B><font color="#c00000">EntreCard Killing Credit Cashouts ?</font></b></h4>
<p>Since the sale of Entrecard no official mention of the continued existence of the EC Credit Cashout program has been made.  The complete lack of news about the cashout seems to indicate something.  Are they going to kill the cashout, not allowing members to sell their credits back ?<br />
<BR>I don&#8217;t have an answer for you, but I can tell you one thing &#8230; the link to sign-up for the credit buyback program has mysteriously disappeared from my Entrecard Dashboard &#8220;Your Account&#8221; section.  Many other members have discovered this also.<br />
<BR>No official announcement has been made as of yet.  I have submitted an email to EC asking if the credit cashout is going to be cancelled. As of right now my question goes unanswered &#8230;<br />

<BR><BR><br />
<h4><b><font color="#c00000">150 Pound Cupcake</font></b></h4>
<p>Birthday parties and cake walks will never be the same after this !  A World Record was set today with the baking of a 151 pound cupcake in Minneapolis.  The cupcake was on display at the &#8220;Mall Of America&#8221; for all to see &#8230; but not taste.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8230; Jamie Miller said the giant cupcake will go to a pig farm.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Of course &#8230; what pig doesn&#8217;t like cupcakes ?  This was the first thing that popped into my head when I thought about cupcakes.<br />
<i>( <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090719/ap_on_fe_st/us_odd_world_s_largest_cupcake">official news report</a> )</i><br />
<BR><BR><br />
<h4><b><font color="#c00000">Killing &#8220;killer&#8221; Cougars</font></b></h4>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Three cougars have been killed near the Western Canadian town Princeton, British Columbia, this month while apparently stalking human prey, police said on Tuesday.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>This is seriously going to far.  My wife really hates the term &#8220;cougar&#8221; to describe women dating or seeking younger men &#8230; and I don&#8217;t blame her &#8230; but to shoot them is just obscene.  Has American Idol and David Cook really changed our society that much ?<br />
<i>( <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090715/od_nm/us_cougars_odd;_ylt=Am_Ye3aI1EPsAEr5roH_9wbtiBIF;_ylu=X3oDMTJqMXZucjl0BGFzc2V0A25tLzIwMDkwNzE1L3VzX2NvdWdhcnNfb2RkBHBvcwM0BHNlYwN5bl9hcnRpY2xlX3N1bW1hcnlfbGlzdARzbGsDdGhyZWVxdW90a2ls">official news report</a> that has nothing to do with women. )</i><br />
<BR><BR><br />
<h4><b><font color="#c00000">Sweet Buttery Jesus !</font></b></h4>
<p>It would have been a tasty &#8230; if not completely irrelevant &#8230; display.  One that may have went down in the history books as being one of the slickest.  But, alas, it as not meant to be &#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Jesus Christ and his apostles made the cut. So did John Wayne, Elvis and Tiger. But Michael Jackson will not have his buttery likeness displayed at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines this summer &#8230;</span></p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s really too bad too &#8230; I am sure it would have been a moving tribute.  One that definitely goes well with toast !<br />
