What a collection

Received this slide show in my mail today. It is impressive. The images are not ancient period piece photos but are actually hand-made models.

I was impressed!

"Let's all be careful out there!"

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

"Let's all be careful out there!"

The Power of a Badge . . . . .

DEA officer stops at a ranch in Texas , and talks with an old rancher. He tells the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." The rancher says, "Okay, but don't go in that field over there," as he points out the location.

The DEA officer verbally explodes saying, "Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me.." Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removes his badge and proudly displays it to the rancher. "See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish . . . . On any land. No questions asked or answers given. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?"

The rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores.

A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the DEA officer running for his life....

chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull . . . .. . .

With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely that he'll get gored before he reaches safety. The officer is clearly terrified.. The rancher throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs . . . . .

"Your badge.
Show him your BADGE!"

"Let's all be careful out there!"

Doing A Test

I have 4 images posted below. Linked from my G-Mail CGI bin.

Can anyone else see them. I can but that may be just because its from my e-mail.

Someone please let me know.

Thanks.

"Let's all be careful out there!"

an epithany

Bear with me as I try to explain this.

A government, any government, is like a body. The GS-1's thru GS-WHATEVER are the individual cells. They come and go but the body remains intact. Serving its prime purpose of perpetuating and protecting itself.

The non-elected, appointed people of the government are the underwear. Occasionally seen but ignored. Acting as a barrier between the body and the outer garments. Not really necessary but there to keep the outer garments clean when the body has problems.

Those outer garments. Well those are our elected officials. Not really needed by the body but put on display to show our moods and whims. And they are changed often and have little or no effect on the body itself. Conservative, liberal, stylish, dull. They come and go rapidly but the body goes on and on. Doing whatever it desires, regardless of what statement others might feel is implied by the clothing worn. The body itself could really care less.

We can elect whomever we want and others can be appointed to positions but the bureaucracy is going to do as it pleases. And no one will/can ever change that.



See what happens when you eat cold pizza in the middle of the night.

"Let's all be careful out there!"

Did You Know....

That AVATAR is available in a multitude of "flavors"

Most people have seen it in 2-D and 3-D. A few lucky ones have experienced the IMAX 3-D version. But that isn't where it ends. In some theaters around the world there are also 4-D versions.

4-D theaters have programmed seats for the viewers that move in response to the action in the movie. Not only are your audio and visual senses being stimulated but also your sense of motion. The ultimate form is the 4-D IMAX experience. I've heard rumors that one man in Bangkok, Thailand actually died while watching Avatar 4-D IMAX. I guess the experience is as close as current technology can get us to a Star Trek halodeck .

Have any of you had the 4-D or 4-D Imax experience? I'd sure like to hear a first hand account.

BTW - Avatar is now the highest dollar grossing film of all time. Beating Titanic, also a James Cameron film, this past week. It will probably exceed $2 BILLION in the next week or two.

HAVE YOU NOTICED?

My HOME THEATER CENTER (link at the top of the side-bar >>>>>) now has 200 full-length feature films. New releases that just showed up in your local mega-plex this past weekend. Classics from the last half of the past century. 21st century blockbusters. Action/adventure. Romance. Comedy. Drama. Animation. I am adding about 10 new features every day. I only have 2 limitations: Is it available on the web and no porn.

I found that some videos didn't work properly or had limitations on viewing time. A real pain in the ass. I think I have corrected all of that.

Come over and check it out. Make a request for something that you like but isn't posted. I will make every effort to accommodate your wish.

Do me a favor and tell your friends about this new blog. I am sure they will enjoy it. A link to it would also be greatly appreciated. The more links to a blog, the higher Google rates it.

The Psychiatrist and Proctologist

Two doctors, a psychiatrist and a proctologist, opened an office in a small town and put up a sign reading: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones: Hysterias and Posteriors."

The town council was not happy with the sign, so the doctors changed it to read, "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids."

This was not acceptable either, so in an effort to satisfy The council, they changed the sign to "Catatonics and High Colonics." No go.

Next, they tried "Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives." Thumbs down again.

Then came "Minds and Behinds." Still no good.

Another attempt resulted in "Lost Souls and Butt Holes." Unacceptable again!

So they tried "Analysis and Anal Cysts." Not a chance.

"Nuts and Butts?" No way.

"Freaks and Cheeks?" Still no go.

"Loons and Moons?" Forget it.

Almost at their wit's end, the doctors finally came up with:

"Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Odds and Ends."

Everyone loved it.

Amazing how life's little problems,

have a way of taking care of themselves !!

Johnstown, PA:

Local and state police scoured the hills outside rural Johnstown, Pennsylvania, after reports of three animal rights activists going missing after attempting to protest the wearing of leather at a large motorcycle gang rally this weekend. Two others, previously reported missing, were discovered by fast food workers "duct taped inside several fast food restaurant dumpsters," according to police officials.

"Something just went wrong," said a still visibly shaken organizer of the protest. "Something just went horribly, horribly, wrong." The organizer said a group of concerned animal rights activist groups, "growing tired of throwing fake blood and shouting profanities at older women wearing leather or fur coats," decided to protest the annual motorcycle club event "in a hope to show them our outrage at their wanton use of leather in their clothing and motor bike seats." "In fact," said the organizer. "Motorcycle gangs are one of the biggest abusers of wearing leather, and we decided it was high time that we let them know that we disagree with them using it... Ergo, they should stop."
According to witnesses, protesters arrived at the event in a vintage 1960's era Volkswagen van and began to pelt the gang members with balloons filled with red colored water, simulating blood, and shouting "you're murderers" to passers by. This, evidently, is when the brouhaha began.

"They peed on me!!!" charged one activist. "They grabbed me, said I looked like I was French, started calling me 'La Trene', and duct taped me to a tree so they could pee on me all day!"

"I.. I was trying to show my outrage at a man with a heavy leather jacket. And, he... he didn't even care. I called him a murderer, and all he said was, 'You can't prove that.' Next thing I know is he forced me to ride on the back of his motorcycle all day, and not left me off, because his girl friend was out of town and I was almost a woman."

Still others claimed they were forced to eat hamburgers and hot dogs under duress. Those who resisted were allegedly held down while several bikers "farted on their heads."

Police officials declined comments on any leads or arrests due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, however, organizers for the motorcycle club rally expressed "surprise" at the allegations.

"That's preposterous, " said a high ranking member of the biker organizing committee. "We were having a party, and these people showed up and were very rude to us. They threw things at us, called us names, and tried to ruin the entire event. So, what did we do? We invited them to the party! What could be more friendly than that? You know, just because we are all members of motorcycle clubs does not mean we do not care about inclusiveness. Personally, I think it shows a lack of character for them to be saying such nasty things about us after we bent over backwards to make them feel welcome."

When confronted with the allegations of force feeding the activists meat, using them as ad hoc latrines, leaving them incapacitated in fast food restaurant dumpsters, and 'farting on their heads,' the organizer declined to comment in detail.
"That's just our secret handshake," assured the organizer.

The Female Genie

While trying to escape through Pakistan, Osama Bin Laden found a bottle on the sand and picked it up. Suddenly, a female genie rose from the bottle and with a smile said, "Master, may I grant you one wish?"

Osama responded, "You ignorant, unworthy daughter-of-a-dog! Don't you know who I am? I dont need any common woman giving me anything."

The shocked genie said, "Please, I must grant you a wish or I will be returned to that bottle forever."

Osama thought a moment, then grumbled about the impertinence of the woman and said,"Very well, I want to awaken with three American women in my bed in the morning. So just do it and be off with you. "

The annoyed genie said, "So be it!" and disappeared.

The next morning Bin Laden woke up in bed with Lorena Bobbitt, Tonya Harding, and Nancy Pelosi at his side.



His penis was gone, his knees were broken, and he had no health insurance.


God is good.

The Many Uses Of Coffee Filters...

Better than paper towels and a lot less expensive...

COFFEE FILTERS


Coffee filters ..... Who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for almost nothing even the large ones.

1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave... Coffee filters make excellent covers.

2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome... Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.


3. Protect China by separating your good dishes with a coffee filter between each dish.


4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.


5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.

7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.

8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.

9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.

10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.

11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter..

12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters..

13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc on them. It soaks out all the grease.

14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers."

15. As a sewing backing.. Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for embroidering or appliqueing soft fabrics.


16. Put baking soda into a coffee filter and insert into shoes or a closet to absorb or prevent odors.


17. Use them to strain soup stock and to tie fresh herbs in to put in soups and stews.


18. Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you add fluids to your car.


19. Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and clean up small counter spills.


20. Can use to hold dry ingredients when baking or when cutting a piece of fruit or veggies.. Saves on having extra bowls to wash...


21... Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.


22. Use them to remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls.


23. Use them to sprout seeds.. Simply dampen the coffee filter, place seeds inside, fold it and place it into a plastic baggie until they sprout.


24. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers. Place the flowers between two coffee filters and put the coffee filters in phone book..


25. Use as a disposable "snack bowl" for popcorn, chips, etc.

OH YEAH THEY ARE GREAT TO USE IN YOUR COFFEE MAKERS TOO.
