Im not that great of a football fan but I am amazed by The Patriots and Bill Belichicks genius... Last week they held the best offensive team , the Colts to 3 points and this week against the best defensive team , the Steelers, they score 41...Apart from the obvious stars like Tom Brady, they seem to have the team concept down, every player makes contributions every week, Troy Brown has been a stalwart on offense, defense and special teams... Yea I hope its a good game, and as much as I feel for the Philly fans and what they've had to put up with, I'll be rootin for the Pats, we havent had a major sports championship up here in what? about 3 months? I dont know if I can endure any longer ;)-->

This is a strange story: ...then he tells them to design their life after a movie character?? -->

Well it has arrived here in the Northeast and its about time! our first realsnow of the year. I spent the afternoon in the midst of it out icefishing with my neighbor, if you dress up warm blizzards are actually sorta cool, anything beats the cold miserable nothing grey

I was going to suggest the same thing, the mailers that go to every house, the coupons I hear work well, They are pretty reasonable, and even if you got a 1% response you would be doing OK. Around here we also have cheap community newspapers whose advertising rates are incredibly low that reach anywhere from 15-40 thousand people each. Most communities have them. Print up a $20.00 Off -3 Room Specialcoupon or some such thing. I tried it one time and had to take the ad out because I was inundated with too many calls that I couldn't get to. If your feeling really gutsy, and with the influx of stadiums being named after corporate and business sponsors. You could get namimg rights to the Bills stadium, I for one would love to watch an NFL game from Hillsbro Rug and Duct Cleaning Stadium :D--> ;)--> just joking---the first two ideas may work though

Well, I pulled the luck of the draw on the price, I get it from a friend who owns a healthfood store , is an evangelist for the stuff, and is a bad businessman to boot but a good friend who thinks everyone should be drinking it. He gives me a case of the 16 oz botts for $15.00 which is probably less than he pays, and less than I'd pay for normal store water but I send a lot of people his way and give him alot of other business so it balances out...

Ive stayed out of this- read some of it, it is a bit lengthy for my tastes and the bickering has no appeal to me whatsoever, But just to add my two cents I'll tell you Ive been drinking Penta water for about 2-- 2 1/2 years. No research,no big reason, a friend I trust just gave some to to me and I said OK. I drank it , I liked it. I drink about a gallon a day, and feel the best that I have in years..more energy than Ive had in decades...and I haven't taken one medication (not so much as an aspirin) in all that time. Coincidence? maybe. I don't really care, I like it and it works for me.

While spring training slowly slowly inches closer- Heres a boxscore to make you go Yowza

and here something you may not know about me: I have been to the Cyrus Dallin Museum, I think his best work however is the one in the front of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, called the 'Appeal of the Great Spirit'

Maybe they should have stuck with Kid Rock

I have never eaten a banana When I was 12, my friend Steve Blair and I accidently burned down a garage when we were skipping school. For about 2 years in the 80's I was the guy in the area people came to who needed someone to pray for them so they could get pregnant. 3 babies were born to couples who 'couldn't', two of them were named after me. My Greatgrandfather was wounded at Gettysburg in the Civil War, my father was bombed in the Pacific during WWII. if either had died I never would have been born. I was on mescaline at my first Rock of Ages. I performed the wedding ceremony when my father and his childhood sweetheart got married. They had dated at 14 and didnt see each other again until they were 80. They got married when they were 84. In the first major league baseball game I went to (June 1966) Mickey Mantle hit two homeruns, I jumped in the dugout after the game and took the lineup card off the wall and scampered off before the cops got me.

:)--> Glad y'all enjoyed!

That darn near is poetic, and captures a lot. That should go in the historical photo archives that was being talked about on the other thread as a true symbolic representation of where TWI is today.. great Photo

just my type of people ma nah mah na

There was a bogus story circulating in the early 80's that AMway was the devils counterfeit to THE Way, that they had stolen 'Wierwilles revelation' of outreach techniques and made money the central theme instead of God. Yea I know,pile of turd story but the organizations do run amazingly alike...

Since I have this song stuck in my head, you may as well join in

Hi Rottie- Mortons Toe means my second toe is taller than my big toe. I can sorta give the finger with my feet. I'd been wonderin where you were

Nope, not even close, not in the same universe as this guy. Natural disasters, diseases, catastrophes, earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones are all functions of the natural world in which we live that have logical and reasonable explanations as to their occurences, most are predictable or will be in the not too distant future. If(big if) man has a 'sin' it is that he is for the most part far removed from awareness of the rhythms of the natural world around him. Its a shortcoming which I think alot of people ares seriously looking at... These disasters are not the product of some deities dice game-I thought we had moved beyond those superstitions sometime in the middle ages.

I have Mortons Toe

I bring home rocks and sticks that I like. The first American Mstar was born on the ocean on the way over from Scotland to his parents who were in their late 40's. He went through life named Thomas the Seaborn. I have a stone from the foundation of his log cabin. Ive eaten breakfast out just about everyday my entire adult life. Right now I'm rotating between three places depending on which waitress is working which day and where. I once traded my car for a pound of pot and a turquoise ring when I was 2000 miles from home. I like Beavis and Butthead, SouthPark and Tom Waits. For one reason or another I've had guns pulled on me 6 separate times I am the least artistic person I have ever met and have made my living as an artist for 25 years. I once got in a heated argument in a diner over baseball only to later find out that the guy I was arguing with was a baseball legend (Johnny Van der Meer)who I had pictures of on my wall when I was much younger. I erase more posts than I actually post

I looked it up and found the pay sites as well, as close as I got was a site at which the total of information was that it was in the key of A, guitar capo'ed at the second fret and played as if it was in G-- Not quite sure if you can decipher that or not but it may give you a start at pickin it out

The splinters were mostly started by MOG wannabees, after 20+ years of being THE MOG he may have come to the realization that the job really sucks

This is gonna be good, Johnson is in town for five minutes and has a meltdown. Whats gonna happen when 100 hard core New York media and a million fans are hounding him after a bad outing? You're not in Arizona anymore Randy, hope you can handle the constant scrutiny, welcome to the AL East.

High school freshmen is about right. I clicked on Johnny Evers...the immortal Johnny Evers he is listed at 5'9" 125lbs. I know 13 year olds that big and he is one of the best known players of that era. Things were different -Tinker tried to go from first to third on a groundball to short in the ninth-he was cutdown but havent seen that in awhile. Other intriguing things: Time 1:25 (I guess they didnt take too many pitches) Attendance: 6210 (the last game of a World Series?? Of the 10's of millions (maybe Hundreds) of people who've seen the Cubs since, its sort of strange that little over 6000 were there the last time they won it all.)

:)--> :D--> Yea thats about right I
