A Klingon is speaking and he says "What is the honor of defeating a weaker opponent?" I've always heard never fight an old man because if you win there's no glory and if you loose you'll never live it down. But anyway...if you like to fight, come hang out with me a work sometimes, you'll get your chance! of course fighting dirty is out, at least on my side of the bars, 'cause if you fight dirty or go to far they'll be callin' their lawyer and/or filing o

I never been much a fan of horror books, but your enthusiastic words has got me interested in Mr. Straub. Try Stephen King's The Stand sometime uDigIt if you haven't already. I'm not that big on the horror genre either but The Stand was an exception. (I overdid that, didn't I.) Not at all Don. Very well said.

There's an old story about a guy who had a factory and how one day one of his machines broke down and production came to a screeching halt. The factory owner rushes to a phone and calls a mechanic, a guy known for his expertise in this particular piece of machinery. So the mechanic shows up, goes to the machine causing all the trouble, looks at it, and then opens his tool box and removes a hammer. With one strike he hits the machine in a certain place and the machine fires up and runs great! The

It really disgusts me that in America, we use tits to sell all sorts of things, from automobiles to washing powder, on billboards, print, and television, boobies are everywhere. We can see flesh a-bobbin' at any beach, mall, or event attended by young people (spring break girls gone wild, anyone?) yet the sight of a mother discreetly breastfeeding her child in public awakens our moral outrage...how DARE she? Ain't that the truth! People are so stupid it

As for sunglasses, I refuse to buy expensive pairs as I only end up losing them. The $10 pairs stay with me forever, though. Why is that? I've noticed the same phenomenon. I got a pair free covered with Dodge truck logos all over 'em when I went to A Texas Ranger's baseball game in May of '98 and I STILL have them! Weird.
