Cricket is another of those games where you get to throw things at people. A recent email told me that "

The first testicular guard was used in cricket in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974.
It took 100 years for men to realize that their brains could also be important ... "

A recent joint study conducted by the RTA and the Department of Health indicates that 23% of traffic accidents are alcohol related. This means that the remaining 77% are caused by arseholes who just drink coffee, carbonated drinks, pure water, juices, yogurt, and shit like that.

Therefore, beware of those who do not drink alcohol. They cause three times as many deadly car accidents.

This message is sent to you by someone who worries about your well being.

Only in New Zealand.

A drunk New Zealander hijacked a Mr Whippy van at knifepoint then hurled ice creams at passers-by during a vanilla and alcohol-fuelled rampage, reports said.

Joseph David Banks, 21, admitted running amok in the North Island town of Hastings last week, but was so drunk he could not remember the incident, the Hawke's Bay Today newspaper reported.

Court documents showed that on the evening of December 7, Banks armed himself with a butcher's knife and threatened the life of a woman holding her young child on the street, before crawling into a nearby Mr Whippy truck.

The unemployed man then used the van's facilities to make soft serve ice creams and throw them at people on the footpath.

When police confronted Banks, the ice cream van bandit refused to cool down and resisted arrest until back-up arrived.

Banks pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a series of charges, including threatening to kill, resisting police, disorderly behaviour and possession of an offensive weapon.

He was remanded in custody for sentencing on Friday.

Been a "movie weekend" for my wife and I. Went and watch "Yogi Bear" yesterday and "Narnia" today. Both were great. Yogi (if your a fan from your younger days) was very cute and very enjoyable. Captured the original spirit of the cartoons very well.

Narnia, as might be expected, was a big budget, well done movie. Lots of action and good following to the orignial two shows.

In honor of your late furry family member:

Cat by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien

The fat cat on the mat
may seem to dream
of nice mice that suffice
for him, or cream;
but he free, maybe,
walks in thought
unbowed, proud, where loud
roared and fought
his kin, lean and slim,
or deep in den
in the East feasted on beasts
and tender men.
The giant lion with iron
claw in paw,
and huge ruthless tooth
in gory jaw;
the pard dark-starred,
fleet upon feet,
that oft soft from aloft
leaps upon his meat
where woods loom in gloom --
far now they be,
fierce and free,
and tamed is he;
but fat cat on the mat
kept as a pet
he does not forget.


Your cat is Fierce and Free once more, (((Lil))).

The Weather Channel here doesn't seem to be real sure of what to expect in the way of snow tonight. I've heard everything from flurries to 4". That's what I like ... precision.

Nearby (25 miles east of here) Bloomington and Normal were saying this morning 1-5" ... which they explained by saying they were kind of at the border between 1-3" and 3-5". Being people of great courage and originality ... they took a risk and said, "1 to 5". :spin:

They only issue one battery and my other phone got donated to the military. Thought that would be a better use than me keeping it around.

I can say, I am not happy. The person I dealt with a the store said "we will ship you a new phone", they sent a refurbished. It did not come with a battery, so I couldn't try charging the new one on the way home form having to pick it up at the FedEx place. It's the same model, but appears to be a previous generation. This thing better work or I'm going to be raising hell.

We'll give it the rest of the night to see if it charges up fully. If I wake up and the phone is dead, well......There might be a couple down at my phone company that will be the same way......or at the very least wish they were.

After some inconveniences with my first cell I've made it a habit to have a spare, charged, battery ready most of the time. After I found what have been as good as the original at a fraction of the retail phone store price, I now carry a backup with me and also have one in the charger to become the backup when the drained one rotates into the charger. It's proved to be flawless reliable a few time when extended use would have had me running for a power source somewhere. Especially when I was able to get a desk/caddy charger with a slot for the extra battery and two batteries for less than $20USD, (delivered!). :shrug:

If you have one nearby, Interstate Batteries may well have extra batteries available and their prices aren't too bad. Worth a try.

Lord Snow
01-22-2011, 10:43 AM
It charged to 100% over night, so this verifies that it was the phone and not the battery. It seems that they discontinued my phone, so the only way I'll get a new is if I upgrade which I can't do till December I think. Hopefully this one lasts that long. Now I have to ship the old one back, fortunately with a prepaid box slip.

Look at the positive side of the control though. If you can control your body well enough, you can orgasm that much better and longer.
