OMG

As I was leaving the grocery store last night, I actually heard a girl talking on her cell phone say, "ROFL".
I wanted to walk over & slap the shit out of her — STHOOH.

Lead and Other Dangerous Chemicals Found in Chinese-Made Wal-Mart Pet Toys

Lead and Other Dangerous Chemicals Found in Chinese-Made Wal-Mart Pet Toys

ConsumerAffairs.com hired ExperTox Analytical Laboratory in Texas to test four imported toys for pets — two for dogs and two for cats — for heavy metals and other toxins.

One of the dog toys — a latex one that looks like a green monster — tested positive for what the lab’s toxicologist said are high levels of lead and the cancer-producing agent chromium.

Excuse me sir..

I'll need to see your license & registration.

One of the cutest dogs ever?

Ivy just has a great face for the camera, don't you think?
And she's oh-so full of herself!

Opposites really do attract

I have a student at the gym, who's trained with us for about a year now, who works for the D.A.'s office.
I just found out recently that his wife is a professor or Ethics!

And who can blame him, really?

AFRICAN FAMILY ADOPTS BRITNEY SPEARS’ CHILDREN

Lilongwe, Malawi– Citing a desire to assist children growing up in some of the most dire circumstances imaginable, a family from the African nation of Malawi has adopted Britney Spears’ and Kevin Federline’s sons. “It would be selfish for us, who know how to wear underwear and don’t have delusions that we can rap, to do nothing while children grow up like this,” said Joseph N’Kai, a nomadic farmer with seven children who earned $387 last year.

And, she's "late".
She's still within the range of not being "too" late, but wouldn't that be a surprise present?

Someone's going to have fun!

I went to the grocery store across the street at lunch today to get some allergy medicine...
The guy in front of me at the checkout had:

• a bottle of Cold Duck
• a bottle of white wine
• a box of club crackers
• a block of cheese
• a can of Reddi Whip

I understand everything except the Cold Duck..

Winter's coming!

American Mathematics

I was out & about during lunch the other day, so I just went to the drive through at a popular fast food place.
My total was $3.20, & I handed the (blond) girl at the window $3.00, then dug around for some change & handed her 20 cents.
At which point she seemed a little confused, & said, "So I owe you a dollar?"
....
"It was $3.20, right?"
"Yeah," she said.
"I gave you $3.00, then change... ."
"So, how much do I owe you?"
............
"You don't owe me anything," I tried to say without too much exasperation.
"Oh, thanks!"

And just think, she really could grow up to be a president of the same caliber as the one we have now.

Just call him "Brownie"

Federal mine safety official's credentials questioned

(Richard) Stickler used to be a mining executive who - according to various media reports - ran mines which had several fatalities and "...an incident rate that was often twice the national average."

So, let me get this straight.
The Bush administration wanted to appoint someone without the qualifications to do the job, perhaps because of political & family connections?
And after eight years we're surprised by this?

Memo shows mine already had roof problems in March

Salt Lake Tribune

Operators at the Crandall Canyon mine experienced serious structural problems in the mine in March and entirely abandoned work in an area about 900 feet from where six miners remained trapped Saturday.

A memo obtained by The Salt Lake Tribune shows that mine owners were trying to work around "poor roof conditions" before halting mining of the northern tunnels in early March after a "large bump occurred . . . resulting in heavy damage" in those tunnels.

Perhaps Bob Murray isn't the wonderfully sensitive & caring mine owner that he wants to be seen as on TV... . What a shocker!
And, even more shocking, he's an energy executive who likes to flex his political muscle.

"Mitch McConnell calls me one of the five finest men in America, and last time I checked he was sleeping with your boss," Murray told the inspectors, referring to the senior GOP senator from Kentucky. The quote was repeated in an Oct. 2006 Lexington (Ky.) Herald-Leader article on McConnell's political influence.
