If this incident turns out to be true, this guy needs to do some hard time. *************************************************************************** PITTSBURGH (June 16) - A T-ball coach allegedly paid one of his players $25 to hurt an 8-year-old mentally disabled teammate so he wouldn't have to put the boy in the game, police said Friday. Mark R. Downs Jr., 27, of Dunbar, is accused of offering one of his players the money to hit the boy in the head with a baseball, police said. Witnesses told police Downs didn't want the boy to play in the game because of his disability. Police said the boy was hit in the head and in the groin with a baseball just before a game, and didn't play, police said. "The coach was very competitive," state police Trooper Thomas B. Broadwater said. "He wanted to win." Downs has an unpublished telephone number and couldn't immediately be reached for comment Friday. It was unclear whether he had an attorney. He was arrested and arraigned Friday on charges including criminal solicitation to commit aggravated assault and corruption of minors. He was released from jail on an unsecured bond. The alleged assault happened June 27 in North Union Township, about 40 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, authorities said. The boy's mother asked state police to investigate her son's injuries because she suspected Downs wanted to keep the boy off the field, despite a league rule that required each player to participate in three innings a game, Broadwater said. Eric Forsythe, the president of the R.W. Clark Youth Baseball League, said Downs had two daughters on the T-ball team. League organizers investigated accusations against Downs before the T-ball season ended earlier this month but could not prove that he did anything wrong. If Downs is convicted of any crime, he won't be allowed to be a coach next year, Forsythe said. The league is not affiliated with Little League International. *************************************************************************** This is T-ball, for God's sake. If he is a convicted of a crime "he won't be allowed to be a coach next year?" He'd better not be allowed to coach any kid in any sport for the rest of his life.

Sam's Club had them stacked 10 ft. high yesterday at $15.45 each.

When that song was really big, 75-76, I guess, I was working in a place where we had the radio on all the day. They used to play that about once every hour. Took a fall from a windy height I only knew how to hold on tight

You got it.

There's one :)-->

Based on a famous political couple.

Well, there's one I've actually heard of. The Last Farewell Elvis recorded it, but I think it was Roger Whitaker that did it first.

OK. Here's another one. I'm going to tell you something really outrageous. I'm going to tell you the truth.

Is it "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"

Nope.

Just seeing the commercials for this or "Growing Up Gotti" or "Gastineau Girls" will suck the intelligence right out of your brain. I watched one episode of "Newlyweds" I think it's called because the 17-year old son watches it and I was treated to 30 minutes of Nick and Jessica trying to decide where to go eat. Now THAT'S good television.

I am a gay lesbian woman! I do not mythologize the male sexual organ!

Just when you think that tv has scraped the absolute bottom of the barrel, they manage to break out the bottom of the barrel and go even lower. If the average guy had multiple arrests for drunk driving, drug possession, failure to pay child support, parole violations, not to mention beating up the wife a few times, he'd be doing some hard time. If you're worthless, no-talent loser Bobby Brown, you get your own "reality" tv show. A guy who would be just another name on a police blotter if he hadn't married Whitney Houston gets to do whatever it is he does on tv. I guess the attraction of watching this train wreck is the chance that he might smack Whitney right on camera. There oughta be a law.

It looks like there's going to be an NHL season this year, if there are any fans left who care.

And Justice For All

A milliner sells ladies' hats. The fellow you're talking about was more like a haberdasher, a word you don't hear used much any more.

Armageddon Michael Clark Duncan The Green Mile

One is "Sleuth." Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine. I think they both lost out to Vito Corleone that year.

A bit of a disappointment. It's not as bad as "Daredevil" but it doesn't come close to "Spiderman" or "X-Men." Too much talk and not enough action. The characters whine constantly, and while there was a certain amount of that in the comics, on the screen it just seems annoying. There are plot holes you could fly the space shuttle through and Dr. Doom comes across as a cheap Darth Vader knock-off. The acting is pretty wooden except for Michael Chiklis, who's not bad as the Thing. One thing's for sure: the idea that Sue Storm had to be naked to be invisible never came up in the comic books of the '60s. Not terrible, but it could have been a lot better.

Homemade peach ice cream made from peaches bought that day from a South Carolina orchard. It doesn't get any better than that.

"Maybellene" never reached #1? Well, it should have. That's a rock & roll classic.

Yeah, I've gotten hundreds of these too, but this is the first one I've seen with the marriage angle.
