Monkey Meat Is Confiscated at Dulles ( and a totally gratuitous shot at shrub jr.)
http://loudounextra.washingtonpost.com/news/2008/dec/08/3-charred-monkeys-found-luggage-dulles-airport/?local
How often do you see a story involving charred monkeys? My favorite comment under the article is :Obviously the passenger violated the no carrion luggage rule. Wish I had thought of that.

Where is Chris?
I apologize for my absence from the blogging scene recently. I was actually in the hospital last week and recuperating at home this week. It was nothing too serious, just an attack of diverticulitis (sp?). Anyway, I will try to get back in Nora's good graces in the near future by updating more frequently. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

A quote from one of my wife's fave movies. Can you name it?
Thursday, August 28, 2008
One of the best quotes ever! Name the movie.
So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

Keep swinging that hammer
"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."

People Really Do Look Better When You Drink
Top 3 Summer Olympic "sports" that suck
There is a long list of so-called sport in the Olympics that aren't even really sports. I'm not saying they don't require skills or some athletic ability, just that they do not belong in the Olympics. Any "sport" that has judges for "artistic impression" or form needs to go away!
My choices:
3. synchronized swimming/diving
2. rhythmic gymnastics of any kind
1. dressage.
