  Cornball Costume Idea. Follow at the risk of your own embarrasment

  Put black make-up around one eye. Paint a large P on a white tee-shirt. Go as a Black-Eyed Pea! Oh, I was not kiddin', it's extremely corny... but hey it works in a pinch.

  I like the suit, preferably cheap, with watchtower and awakes in your pocket. I mean you have all the accoutrements you'll need.

  Anyone know a good hangover cure?

  not for me, i might add.. my boyfriend, who isn't a big drinker, went out with his best mate and a few other friends last night on a birthday celebration.

  they went to see some led zeppelin tribute band, and around a few pubs as well.

  he staggerred in at around 1:30am, just after i'd gone to bed, very much the worse for drink, and had to make frequent visits to the loo all night.

  I'm all about the hair of the dog. Bloody Mary's are awesome... especially with a raw oyster. That drink's got a name, though I don't know it. Hey, I ain't a bartender... I'm a bartendee.

  Can I just believe in Sponge Bob? I love that freakin' show. My Li'L Toot and I both laugh our arses off every episode.

  Oh yeah, no and no. Time magazine, a while back, had a report on "the first stars" or something to that effect. Space is so vast. Why would one god put us here, as miniscule as we are on the grand scale, to answer such unanswerable questions about life and after-life. What's the freakin' point?

  I think that religion was brought about by wealthy land owners that wanted to keep the peasants in line by scary stories and worrying about the after-life, which can't be proven until there's no longer the ability to revolt.

  I'll just live every day like it's my last while I'm here. Maybe Sponge Bob and Patrick will be on the other side! I hope Sandy too.

  Good stuff... but you may want to revise your Beaumont to Chicago, El Paso numbers. They're a little off, which distracts from the overall message.

  I always liked, "The Sun'll rise and the Sun'll set and you ain't outta Texas yet! Meaning it takes over 12 hours to get across the big ol' State!

  I love this state and all that it carries.

  My wife... those crazy Catholics! She has a definitive black spot in her heart for Cults. We've lost two friends to some really creepy ones in Colorado. I have to believe that she and her crony went back to their car and had a grand discussion about what a shame it is that I'm no longer a sheep in the Borg and that our big house, nice cars, happy kids, loving family is all for naught as we'll soon be whacked by the Hand of Jehobie. ...or maybe I'm just vain and they just didn't say anything about anything. Maybe they'll come back. Maybe even bring a Big-Dog elder. I know that sounds koo-koo but you know I enjoyed asking them questions and watching them get all bunged up then I'd lighten the mood a little then ask them some more about, after reading that website on another post about "After Armageddon", how it's all gonna work. I got the patent answer, "Jehobie will work it out." Oh yeah, I asked, was she happy. I mean really happy about being herself. She hesitated then said, of course. I said, I'm not sure you know what happy is. The Borg doesn't condone happy. She told me that the Borg has changed a lot in the last 20 years. *Baby cries* I bid them farewell.

  My wife told them, "go pound sand." I had to open the door and call them back. I was really excited! We talked for about 20 mins.

  They gave me the same old, doom-and-gloom speech then I gave her my, man, you gotta live for today. Then it got fun!

  I've gotta run now, I'll update later. Just wanted you'se guys to know that I had a great time telling her, step back and objectively view what you're reading. Again, live for your today vs. someone else's tomorrow!

  I feel much more calm after watching this. Why am I getting all bunged up about anything? I'm a really simple speck in a certain time in a certain land. Who cares about what the Hezbo's think. I'd be more worried about the Mongul Hordes.

  I'm gonna do my best and the rest can, well, do whatever they're gonna do.
