Another Fragment of my childhood is gone because of this. I was little when I was watching Winnie the Pooh and around 10 when Spongebob started coming on. You just killed the remnants of my childhood.

Through the communicative law of algebra and whats stated above we can determine that a 2 lb weight weighs exactly 1 hamster.

A fully loaded Land Raider weighs approximately 89,287 hamsters.

That's it. I'm officially using "Hamsters" as a measurement of weight from now on. That Land Raider line was just too damn funny, and I'm now picturing a Land Raider made of Hamsters rolling across a battlefield

U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes had his childhood home just down the road from where I am. He is famous for ordering federal troops to fire on striking railroad workers, killing about 70 men. His childhood home was donated as an orphanage after his death. I wonder where the orphans came from?

From that Pic, Canadians do not know how to dress in Proper Dress clothes. Unlike Me! ^.^

So, I was in this place people call the mall a while back. And I had the urge to expel some bad spirits. As I went into the bathroom, I chose the urinal closes to the corner so I could have some privacy. So I whip out Lord Pevincy and let him loose the bad spirits. Well, I was looking at the wall as the Lord was expelling the spirits and I seemed to have gotten distracted. Turns out, I missed a little.

SO I'm sitting at my computer right, and I have a Coke, Bottled mind you. But it got warm, so I got a Coffie cup and I filled it with the coke and some Ice and I sipped as I did my internet stuff. So like and hour passed and I hadn't sipped any of it. and when I go to sip it, I notice that something solid is in it. So I'm like, "No, why would there be something solid in my coke?" SO I pull these solid THINGS off my tongue and guess what they are? F ING ANTS! I was like WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And so I ran into the Kitchen coughing and what not and I threw those little bastards down the drain with a flood of hate and cold water.......those bastards are lucky I don't have my Nucians yet!!!

I remember hearing about it about 15 years ago. It's possible it was tabloid nonsense, but also possible that it was squelched for PR reasons.

The state of South Dakota has more vehicles registered in it than it has people. I heard that on the 'states' show on the history channel yesterday.

Crayola crayons used to have a warning on the box to not leave them around unattended children who may choke on them. If it was me I would have inserted 'dumb children who eat crayons' just to open the market up a bit, and encourage Darwinism.
