PUKE PUNISHMENT FOR VOMIT ASSAULT(Kansas, AP) - A Kansas high school student convicted of battery for puking on his Spanish teacher will spend four months cleaning up after people who throw up in a police car. A judge said at sentencing that he considered the incident an assault on the dignity of all teachers. The teen vomited on the teacher on the last day of classes at Olathe Northwest High School, outside of Kansas City. The boy's lawyer says his client had been nervous about his final exams but other students testified he'd planned it in advance. The teacher says he felt "sort of stunned" when it happened, and notes the student was failing his class.

(NIGHT)CLUB HANDS OUT PENCILS, SKETCH PADS (Idaho, AP) -
A city ordinance bans complete nudity at all gentleman's clubs in Boise, Idaho, but one club, Erotic City, has challenged that ordinance by distributing pencils and sketch pads to patrons during "art night." The ordinance does give nudity exclusions for artistic displays which include dance, ballet and dramatic performances, so every Monday and Tuesday, the club encourages customers to sketch the models as they perform nude routines. "As far as the Boise city code, it specifies it has to be a serious artistic manner and this is a serious artistic manner," said Chris Teague, Erotic City owner. The club has put on art night for two months, and Teague said he has not received any complaints. Boise Police officials say the club has not been cited for any ordinance violations.

Has the Media come to this? Let's out those that we believe have been augmented and make them prove that they have/are not? On another note do we really care or is it like a train wreck, you don't want to look however you have to...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Supermodel
Tyra Banks' underwent a sonogram on her own television show to quell rumors that she had breast implants. But first she ordered all the men out of the audience, a spokeswoman for her program said on Wednesday. Banks, 31, told the audience for her syndicated talk show on Tuesday that she was tired of rumors that her breasts were fake. "It's something that's followed me forever and today I'm going to finally admit once and for all the truth about my breasts," the Victoria's Secret model said as she removed her push-up bra from underneath a T-shirt. She took a break and returned wearing a bathrobe and accompanied by plastic surgeon Garth Fischer. He and an assistant performed a sonogram in front of the audience that was broadcast with certain part of Banks' anatomy blacked out. Fischer said, "I've performed approximately 8,000 breast implant surgeries, I've examined you, I've reviewed your sonogram ... and Tyra Banks has natural breasts." Banks added, "By no means am I against plastic surgery, by no means am I saying that breast implants are a bad thing, but it's just not a choice that I made ... it's something that a lot of people think I have and that is so frustrating to me."


Please, is it any of our business? What are the boundries of a person in the publics eye life public and private? Another artical that I read advised that all the gentlemen in the studio were outted and the studio was then only left with female on lookers. To what extent will 'Stars' have to go to to prove, or dis-prove things said about them. OR is this just someting for Sweeps? Groan.. What to you think on this. Am I just being craby? Have to run, and watch the show over again... Untill next time...

Could You Pass the US Citizenship Test?

Remember ...

Not to harp on history, however their are some things that we need not forget. I was brushing my teeth when the phone rang, a voice said that we have been attacked, and advised me to turn on the TV, it does not matter what channel, almost any one will do - the voice on the phone was my Mother. I did as she asked. I stood their tooth brush hanging out of my mouth trying not to get toothpaste on my tie, grabbing the remote and then just looked at the TV, processing what I was watching. The time was a little before 6 am Alaska time 10 am in New York, the second tower was just about to fall and another plane was still out their somewhere. I hurried through my morning duties to report to work at 7am wondering what the day would bring us, all while keeping one eye on the TV. As I got to work I "MacGyver'd" an antenna to the training TV so that we could receive broadcasts about the attacks during the day. A sobering day for all of us. Our thoughts and Prayers still go to family's and friends of those that were lost, and training continues to help protect the rest of us from seeing another attack.

Day is done, gone the sun, From the hills, from the lake, From the sky. All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Go to sleep, peaceful sleep, May the soldier or sailor, God keep. On the land or the deep, Safe in sleep.
Love, good night, Must thou go, When the day, And the nightNeed thee so? All is well. Speedeth all To their rest.
Fades the light; And afarGoeth day, And the stars Shineth bright, Fare thee well; Day has gone, Night is on.
Thanks and praise, For our days, 'Neath the sun, Neath the stars, 'Neath the sky, As we go, This we know, God is nigh.

Laughed so hard I lost 3 pounds, then I had to change my shorts!

A while ago I ran across a site that ran you through the day to day life of the stick figure man that does all of the warning signs that you see. It was rather an interesting interview.

Need to Know Love...

Over the past several years I have had comfort in a few things, one is my faith, my family, and my wife. When everything else goes side ways those are the things I know will always be there. We have been married now for almost 9 years, and have known each other for a total of 15. We became friends, dated, became engaged, and got hitched. Considering every thing that we have been through, I would do it all over again in a heart beat. No Questions Asked. The Love I feel for her is ingrained. (I so could sound like a stalker now) Her beauty still astounds me. There is a song, "She don’t know she's beautiful" that wraps up a part of how I feel, and has some cool music in the background to. But more than her appearance is just her - Here is another stolen line, She completes me. When I lie awake at night I can look over and just watch her sleep; the colour of her eyes - is my favorite colour; the sound of her voice - makes my heart skip a beat. In short I guess I am glad she fell in love with me, before someone else, because I know that I then would be, still looking for her. Don’t like mush, too bad. It is what is on my mind, and I just wanted to say it. - TV

Does Size matter?

I saw this news report and followed a few links and wound up here. Then the phrase hit me: Does Size matter? :-)
I personally use flash USB drives, and have one or more with me 'most of the time' okay okay, all of the time, now that I know that it is Bling, My posse and I can sit back with our pocket protectors and Bling Bling around our neck. Next we might go wild and get our Cisco Systems or Novel/Lunix tattoos. Hay the penguin is darn cute! I can see geek stickers for our Segways now "I read your e-mails", or "Watch Out I Reverse Engineer For Fun!" and "I'm Blogging this". Oh Oh, How about our horns ringing out "GEEK GEEK" instead of beep beep!. Our options are endless.
Be afraid not to laugh at this, we are the ones that you call when your computer gives you that lovely blue screen. Humor us.
