Puppy is doing great. She has not ventured out again with the wolf. I think she learned her lesson. Run away romps with wolves are for wolves!

BUNCH more snow this morning. Enjoy your snow day cats and kittens. Or bathe your self in luxuriant sun. Take your pick!

Chin up Ireland, we'll try to emulate the masses for ye!

Game coding then sledding time for me. The kids are bugging me to get the tractor out to tow them up the hill. I let them have the snow day. The local school is closed today too.

My car hood sleigh contraption needs the welder's attention so I am not sure we'll play on that one today. I need to bribe Grampy with brownies so he'll go weld it. He is so much better with the welder and I swear he can't see SHE-ITE! Go figure.

Greensman, I am happy to see you so confident in me! I still don't know about the whole name and I don't think I will be experimenting with it today!!!!!!!!!! giggle... Maybe on a girl's only snow day...lol... My cabana boy laughs at me enough as is!

RULES THAT GUYS WISHED GIRLS KNEW



* If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

* Learn to work the toilet seat: if it's up put it down.

* Don't cut your hair. Ever.

* Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if he can find the perfect present, again!

* If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

* Sometimes, he's not thinking about you. Live with it.

* Don't ask him what he's thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as fishing, the shotgun formation and monster trucks.

* Get rid of your cat. And no, it's not different, it's just like every other cat.

* Dogs are better than ANY cats. Period.

* Sunday 3D Sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

* Shopping is not a sport.

* Anything you wear is fine. Really.

* You have enough clothes.

* You have too many shoes.

* Crying is blackmail. Use it if you must, but don't expect us to like it.

* Your brother is an idiot, your ex-boyfriend is an idiot and your Dad probably is too.

* Ask for what you want. Subtle hints don't work.

* No, he doesn't know what day it is. He never will. Mark anniversaries on a calendar.

* Yes, pissing standing up is more difficult than peeing from point blank range. We're bound to miss sometimes.

* Most guys own two to three pairs of shoes; what makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?

* Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers.

* A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor, now.

* Your Mom doesn't have to be our best friend.

* Foreign films are best left to foreigners.

* Check your oil.

* Don't give us 50 rules when 25 will do.

* Don't fake it. We'd rather be ineffective than deceived.

* Anything we said 6 or 8 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. All comments become null and void after 7 days.

* If you don't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap Opera guys.

* If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad and angry, we meant the other one.

* Let us ogle. If we don't look at other women, how can we know how truly pretty you are?

* Don't rub the lamp if you don't want the genie to come out.

* You can either ask us to do something OR tell us how you want it done - but not both.

* Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

* Christopher Columbus didn't need directions, and neither do we.

* Women wearing Wonderbras and low-cut blouses lose their right to complain about having their boobs stared at.

* Consider Golf a mini-vacation from you. We need it, just like you do.

* Telling us that the models in the men's magazines are airbrushed makes you look jealous and petty and it's certainly not going to deter us from reading the magazines.

* The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out.

ROLLING



A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles. The salesgirl notices him and asks if she can help him. He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs down the correct aisle.

A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls on the counter.

She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for tampons for your wife?"

"You see it's like this. Yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes and she came home with a tin of tobacco and some rolling paper. So, I figure, if I have to roll my own, SO DOES SHE!"


This lady says to her hubby, "Honey, I need breast implants."

The husband says, "We really can't afford implants. Hey wait a minute, I have an idea."

He's gone for a minute and returns with a wad of toilet paper. He hands the toilet paper to his wife and tells her, "Rub this wad of toilet paper between your breasts."

She says, "I don't get it. Will that make them bigger?"

He says, "It should, look what it's done to your ass!"

WHY ME LORD?


A man was wandering around in a field, thinking about how good his wife had been to him and how fortunate he was to have her. He asked God, "Why did you make her so kind-hearted?"

The Lord responded, "So you could love her, my son."

"Why did you make her so good-looking?"

"So you could love her, my son."



"Why did you make her such a good cook?"

"So you could love her, my son."

The man thought about this. Then he said, "I don't mean to seem ungrateful or anything, but ... why did you make her so stupid?"

"So she could love you, my son."


FOUR TIME BRIDE



A woman, getting married for the fourth time, goes to a bridal shop and asks for a white dress. "You can't wear white," says the sales clerk. "You've been married three times already."

"Of course I can, I'm a virgin!" says the bride.

"Impossible," says the sales clerk.

"Unfortunately not," the bride explained. "My first husband was a psychologist. All he wanted to do was talk about it. My second husband was a gynecologist. All he wanted to do was look at it. My third husband was a stamp collector....God, I miss him."

A father asked his son, Little Johnny, if he knew about the birds and the bees.

"I don't want to know!" Little Johnny said, exploding and bursting into tears.

Confused, his father asked Little Johnny what was wrong. "Oh Pop," Johnny sobbed, "for me there was no Santa Claus at age six, no Easter Bunny at seven, and no Tooth Fairy at eight. And if you're telling me now that grownups don't really f**k, I've got nothing left to believe in!"

Tool Maintenance

A man in his 80's struggles to get up from the couch then starts putting on his coat.

His wife, seeing the unexpected behavior, asks, "Where are you going?"

He replies, "I'm going to the doctor."

"Why, are you sick?"

"Nope, I'm going to get me some of that Viagra stuff."

Immediately the wife starts to get out of her rocker and begins to put on her coat. The old man says, "Where the hell are you going?"

"I'm going to the doctor, too."

"Why, what do you need?"

"If you're going to start using that rusty old thing, I'm getting a tetanus shot

The Presidency

One sunny day in 2008, an old man approached the White House from Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench.

He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton."

The Marine replied..."Sir, Mrs. Clinton is not the President and doesn't reside here."

The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.

The following day, the old man approached the White House and said to the same Marine...
"I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton".

Again, the Marine told the man..."Sir, as I said yesterday, Mrs. Clinton is not the President and doesn't reside here."

The man thanked him and again walked away.

The third day, the old man approached the White House and said to the same Marine... "I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton."

The Marine, slightly agitated at this point, looked at the man and said...
"Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mrs. Clinton !!

I've told you several times that Mrs. Clinton is Not the President and Doesn't Reside Here !! Do you understand !?!?"

The old man answered... "Oh, I understood you perfectly well, I just love hearing your answer !!"

The Marine snapped to attention and saluted, "See you tomorrow, Sir !!"

After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish scientists found
traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that
their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, British scientists
dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after headlines in the UK newspapers
read: "British archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and
have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech
communications network a hundred years earlier than the Scots."

One week later, "The Advertiser", a Lafayette, Louisiana, newspaper, (MY Hometown)reported
the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in cane fields near New
Iberia , Gaston Boudreaux, a self taught archeologist, reported that he found
absolutely nothing. Gaston has, therefore, concluded that 300 years ago Cajuns
were already using wireless."

A pompous self made grocer named Bates gets his son into an expensive private school. On day One the whole family is there to see the little blighter begin his first day at school. The grocer, his family in tow, saunters into the principal's office and introduces himself thus: "I am Sir Shortweight Bates. This is my wife, Lady Bates, my daughter Miss Bates and my son Master Bates." "Oh does he?" asks the bemused principal, "we will soon get him out of that terrible habit."

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimetres from a shop window.

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, "Look mate, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!" The passenger apologized and said, "I didn't realize that a little tap would scare you so much. "The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver. I've been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years."

WARNING,WARNING,WARNING,WARNING


ALL YE MALE MEMBER'S SHOULD READ THIS..
AS THIS IS A EMERGENCY POST TO YE



DATE RAPE DRUG TARGETS MALES

Police warn all male clubbers, party-goers and unsuspecting pub regulars to keep alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman. A new date rape drug on the market, called "Beer", is used by females to target unsuspecting men. The drug is generally found in liquid form, and is now available almost anywhere. "Beer" is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to convince their male victims to go home and have sex with them. Typically, a woman needs only to persuade a guy to consume a few units of "beer" and then simply ask him home for no-strings-attached sex. Men are rendered helpless against this approach: After several "beers" men will often succumb to desires to perform sexual acts on horrific looking women to whom they would never normally be seen with. Men often awaken after being given "beer" with only hazy memories of exactly what has happened to them the night before, just a vague feeling that something bad occurred. At other times these unfortunate men are stung for their life's worth in a familiar scam known as "a relationship." Apparently men are easier victims for this scam after "beer" is administered and have previously been sexually approached. Please! Forward this warning to every male you know. However, if you fall victim to this insidious "beer" and the predatory women administering it, there are male support groups with locations in every town, where you can discuss the details of your shocking encounter in an open and frank manner with similarly-affected, like minded guys. To find the nearest such support group to you, just look up "Golf Courses" in the yellow pages.

Q: how many men does it take to open a can of beer?

A: none it should already be open by the time she brings it to you

3 advantages of getting a £50 note tatooed on your penis:
1. You can play with your money.
2. You can see your money grow.
3. Your woman can blow as much money as she wants.

Every Time a Fly Drops Six Inches
There was a fly hovering six inches above a pond. There was a fish in the pond that said, "If that fly dropped six inches, I could get it." A bear was behind the fish and he said, "If that fly dropped six inches, the fish would get the fly, and I would get the fish." A hunter was behind the bear and he said, "If that fly dropped six inches, the fish would get the fly, the bear would get the fish, and I would get the bear." A mouse happened to be behind the hunter, and he said, "If that fly dropped six inches, the fish would get the fly, the bear would get the fish, the hunter would get the bear, and I would get the piece of cheese in the hunter's back pocket." There was a cat behind the mouse and he said, "If that fly dropped six inches, the fish would get the fly, the bear would get the fish, the hunter would get the bear, the mouse would get the cheese, and I would get the mouse." So the fly dropped six inches. The fish got the fly, the bear got the fish, the hunter got the bear, the mouse got the cheese, and the cat went for the mouse but missed and landed in the pond. What's the moral of this story?

Mama
Maria just got married, and being a traditional Italian, she was still a virgin. So, on her wedding night, staying at her mother's house, she was nervous. But her mother reassured her. "Don't worry, Maria. Tony's a good man. Go upstairs, and he'll take care of you." So up she went. When she got upstairs, Tony took off his shirt and exposed his hairy chest.

Maria ran downstairs to her mother and says, "Mama, Mama, Tony's got a big hairy chest." "Don't worry, Maria", says the mother, "All good men have hairy chests. Go upstairs. He'll take good care of you."

So, up she went again. When she got up in the bedroom, Tony took off his pants exposing his hairy legs. Again Maria ran downstairs to her mother.

"Mama, Mama, Tony took off his pants, and he's got hairy legs!" "Don't worry. All good men have hairy legs. Tony's a good man. Go upstairs, and he'll take good care of you." So, up she went again. When she got up there, Tony took off his socks, and on his left foot he was missing three toes. When Maria saw this, she ran downstairs. "Mama, Mama, Tony's got a foot and a half!"

"Stay here and stir the pasta", says the mother. "This is a job for Mama!"

What 3 words does a woman not want to hear when having sex?

Darling I'm home!


On a given night, 2 deathrow inmates are scheduled to be electrocuted on old sparky. While one execution is in progress, the pastor admisnisters to the other condemned man in his cell.
"Don't worry my son", says the pastor, "as soon as the high voltage reaches your brain, it numbs all your senses, so you won't feel a thing."
Suddenly some horrible screams are heard throughout the entire cell block. The pastor immediately ask one of the guard "What is all this screaming about?"
Not to worry pastor, we had a power failure, so we're finishing the first execution "by candles".

Moving Time
Husband and wife, moving house and are starting to box everything up. The husband finds a box under the bed, pulls it out and looks inside, where he finds two eggs and about ?8,000. He approaches the wife and asks what the eggs are for, and she replies, "Every time I cheat on you I put an egg in the box". So he says, "That's alright, you've only cheated on me twice." Then he asks what the money is for. The wife replies, "Every time I get a dozen I sell them!"



Biggest Jerks
Morty was in his usual place in the morning sitting at the table, reading the paper after breakfast. He came across an article about a beautiful actress that was about to marry a football player who was known primarily for his lack of IQ and common knowledge.

He turned to his wife with a look of question on his face. "I'll never understand why the biggest jerks get the most attractive wives."

His wife replies, "Why thank you, dear!"



Why do all women like hunters?

Because they go deep in the bush.
shoot twice.
and eat what they shoot.




Barbie
A man walks into a store to buy a Barbie doll for his daughter. "How much is that Barbie in the window?", he asks the shop assistant.

In a manner she responds, "Which Barbie? We have Barbie Goes to the Gym for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Ball for $19.95, Barbie Goes Shopping for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Beach for $19.95, Barbie Goes Nightclubbing for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $395.00. "

The guy asks, "Why is Divorced Barbie different from all the others ?

"That's obvious," the assistant states, "Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, Ken's boat, Ken's furniture... "

GOOD morning to all.....

Neph,
COOL new sig. :)

Couldn't pass this one up since it is from a Texas gentlemen.......lol

Pick up line.....

A Texas gentleman asked a waiter to take a bottle of Merlot to an
attractive woman.

The waiter took the Merlot to the woman and said, "This is from the
gentleman seated over there," indicating the sender.

She regarded the wine coolly for a second, not looking at the man, and
decided to send a reply note to the man. The waiter, who was lingering
for a response, took the note from her and conveyed it to the gentleman.

The note read:
"For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a Mercedes in your
garage, a million dollars in the bank, and 7 inches in your pants."

After reading the note, the Texan decided to compose one of his own in
return. He folded the note, handed it to the waiter and instructed him
to return this to the woman.

It read:
"For your information, I have a Ferrari Maranello, a BMW Z8, a Mercedes CL600, a Porsche Turbo, Toyota Prius and Matrix, in my garage, beautiful homes in Aspen , Colorado and Miami and a 10,000 acre ranch in Texas .There is over twenty million dollars in my bank account.
But, not even for a woman as beautiful as you, would I cut three inches off. Just send the bottle back!!!

GOOD MORNING TO YE ALL A HELL OF A GOOD READ........


ONE HELL OF A VERY VERY VERY VERY LONG READ,AS IF I WAS YE I WOULD READ THIS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE RIAA PULLS THE CRAP ON US..

THE ARTICLE IS HERE IN ITS FULL TEXT..
http://p2pnet.net/story/11499

FOR US RAG TAGS THE TOTAL ARTICLE IS POSTED IN THE LINK ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST

RIAA expert Jacobson: full text

p2pnet.net news:- Below is a break-out of the deposition given by RIAA expert witness Dr Doug Jacobson to Ray Beckerman, acting for Marie Lindor in UMG v. Lindor.

Lindor, a Brooklyn, New York, home health aide, is a self-confessed computer fool who doesn't know one end of a PC from another.

But according to Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG, the members of the Big 4 music cartel, she's an illegal online distributor of their copyrighted music.

"Now I ask the tech community to review this all-important transcript, and bear witness to the shoddy 'investigation' and 'junk science' upon which the RIAA has based its litigation war against the people," Lindor's lawyer, Ray Beckerman, told p2pnet.

"The computer scientists among you will be astounded that the RIAA has been permitted to burden our court system with cases based upon such arrant and careless nonsense."

This is probably the first example of a case in which members of Net communities, notably people who post on slashdot and Groklaw, actively helped a lawyer frame the questions he needed to ask and, "Were deeply grateful to the community for reviewing our request, for giving us thoughts and ideas, and for reviewing other readers' responses," Beckerman says.

This document was created by hand, so any mistakes are probably ours.

If you're a techie and you have any thoughts on this, Beckerman would like to hear from you. Contact him at rbeckerman[at]anfeliu.com.

The Monks

A man's car broke down as he was driving past a beautiful old monastery. He walked up the drive and knocked on the front door. A monk answered, listened to the man's story and graciously invited him to spend the night.
The monks fed the man and led him to a tiny chamber in which to sleep.
The man thanked the monks and slept serenely until he was awakened by a strange and beautiful sound.

The next morning, as the monks were repairing his car, he asked about the sound that had woke him. "We're sorry," the monks said.
"We can't tell you about the sound. You're not a monk."

The man was disappointed, but eager to be gone, so he thanked the monks for their kindness and went on his way. During quiet moments afterward, the man pondered the source of the alluring sound. Several years later the man happened to be driving in the same area.

He stopped at the monastery on a whim and asked admittance. He explained to the monks that he had so enjoyed his previous stay, he wondered if he might be permitted to spend another night under their peaceful roof. The monks agreed, and so the man stayed with them again.

Late that night, he heard the strange beautiful sound. The following morning he begged the monks to explain the sound. The monks gave him the same answer as before. "We're sorry. We can't tell you about the sound. You're not a monk."

By now the man's curiosity had turned to obsession. He decided to give up everything and become a monk, for that was the only way he could learn about the sound. He informed the monks of his decision and began the long and arduous task of becoming a monk. Seventeen years later, the man was finally established as a true member of the order.


When the celebration ended, he humbly went to the leader of the order and asked to be told the source of the sound. Silently, the old monk led the new monk to a huge wooden door. He opened the door with a golden key. That door swung open to reveal a second door of silver, then a third of gold and so on until they had passed through twelve doors, each more magnificent than the last.

The new monk's face was awash with tears of joy as he finally beheld the wondrous source of the beautiful mysterious sound he had heard so many years before...
