Snippets

Mobile Homes should have tornado warning labels on them.

John Edwards causes cancer.

There were 38 comments under a YouTube video of Heart's What About Love. All of them, rightfully, lauded the group's prowess, with special praise for the Wilson sisters. But one of them, after the praise, went on to say, "Hey, but what about Kelly Clarkson? Is she great or what?"

There's a special Laotian coffee that costs $300/pound. Seriously. The coffee beans obviously come from special trees. But then the really special part is that the beans have to pass through the digestive system (whicn begins at the mouth and ends at the anus) of a civet. True story.

Another true story: A man in 15th Century England translated the bible from Latin to English. Current events functioned slower then and it took a couple of years for religious sentiment to turn against him. He was condemned to death. But while things were fomenting against him, he died. The powers that be didn't let that get in the way of the fomentations so his body was dug up, he was burned at the stake and his charred body thrown into a river. The ECLU did not lift a hand to deter these events.

The Jews, Christians and Muslims all worship the god of Abraham. Try reading the news and human history since 33 AD and wrapping your mind around this fact.

Men look at a woman and wonder if they would sleep with her. Sometimes it's an easy decision. Yes. No. But sometimes it's not so easy and you dither around, waiting. Waiting for what? For a sign. What sign? You'll know when you see it, hear it, semll it. Trust me.

Women look at a man and wonder if he makes more or less money than the guy she's with now. Again, sometimes it's an easy decision. Yes. No. But sometimes it's not so easy and she has to run a credit check. Which brings up the question of personal standards, as in how much is enough. There are some very wonderful women out there who settle for less than obscene wealth. It's true, I've seen it!

Do you remember how your wife looked at you when she was in labor with your son(s)? Now, THAT is another "wonder".

...by the way: 1. The 'ECLU' comment is hilarious! 2. Hopefully a civet doesn't also consume cabbage. 3. Comparing Kelly C. with Heart is so dumb. She is not nearly as heavy! 4. The people that live in Mobile Homes might have a problem reading the warning label anyway. 5. Jews, Christians and Muslims need to sit down together and have a cup of Laotian coffee...

Are there that many women that get a "no?" I think it's more a matter of "how many beers would it take?"

I can't over the split between Protestant denominations, let alone the same god thing. It's like saying your brother has nothing in common with you because he's 5'9" and you're 5'8".

I imagine Pat Robertson would dig that dude up again and do the same thing, because he loves the classics.
