Robbers dressed in drag stole more than $100M worth of jewelry from a Harry Winston store in Paris.

I don't understand NASCAR...
whataday:
So I always thought NASCAR was simple. Just step on the gas and womp. BUT, its all about gasoline consumption and tire wear. That alot of math. Thats divison. Pretty hard for a redneck. Thats some sixth grade shit. WTF.
Nuff Said.
lol yea man- when compared to frying catfish or broiling squirrel, all that science just seems over the top
Response to the plethora of stores closing (2)
Once again, please replace the word “plethora” with the word “cornucopia.” I still like it better. Just to expand on that previous post: Something just occurred to me. If the economy is looking pretty bad in midst of the most financially lucrative time of year (November, December) I would venture to imagine that we will actually start feelingthis recession/depression right...

it’s pretty unbelievable that’s thanksgiving is thursday. it doesn’t feel like that time of year yet. not to me, at least. i think it’s partially to do with the fact that they started playing christmas music on the radio and movies on tv more than a month ago. come on. they do this every year. next year, they’ll start at the end of september, and will continue on this path until...

Response to the plethora of stores closing
Replace the word “plethora” from the title with the word “cornucopia,” because i like it better. Many retail stores make half of their profits from the months November and December. HALF. With this in mind, it seems extraordinarilly difficult to comprehend why so many of these retail stores are closing BEFORE the holiday seasons. Some of these franchises must be...

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break one of the French engineers came back into the room saying ‘Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?’ A Boeing engineer...

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. ‘You have been to France before, monsieur?’ the customs officer asked sarcasti cally. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. ‘Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.’ said the...

When in England , at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of ‘empire building’ by George Bush. He answered by saying, ‘Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever...

And we feel like rain when the words all sound the same, in the lifeless corners of this empty frame. Though we feel let down by the same old autumn breathing, winter’s curse is just around the bend. With our hands all tied to the blades of their design, we are armed and ready to commit this crime. We love that game, but we never play ‘cause we will lose, and we wanna stay the way we...
A Grub's Portrait
A butterfly wakes up one morning and finds itself a caterpillar
I cannot recognize myself
I search for that one moment
The instance in time where this hideous thing began to spawn
I remain incapable of understanding this transformation
Logic screams “compromise must be the culprit”
The effects of that first compromise were enormous
Yet the compromise itself was so menial that I cannot recall
I do...

In 1986, Peter Davies from Newfoundland was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Memorial University . On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephant’s foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded...
