Yes I am! I can't wait to see it. Thanks for the link. I saw the trailer when I saw Elektra in theaters

Oh, so YOU were the one!!

Yup, me and 2 others No seriously, there were more people there than that, and most of them were older (like 30 and 40-year-olds). I guess they didn't know what it was about, thought it would be good, and wasted their money.

PS-Geoff, you worked at Marvel!? How cool is that!

Hey Irish,

are ya feeling better?

I am Mig, thanks for asking. The cough isn't as bad, my nose is pretty free of congestion, no chills/fever, oh yeah. I just have to go to the doctor's tomorrow to beat it. I've just been doing what my father told me to do, take Tylenol and NyQuil. I slept like sh*t Monday night (got about 4 hours of sleep, woke up at 4:30, was up maybe another half hour or hour, and got another hour or 2 of sleep). The past 2 nights with that NyQuil, I got about 9-10 hours on Tuesday and about 8 last night. I think that's what I REALLY needed was some good ol' fashion sleep (which is my 2nd vice, behind women)

Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company's Christmas Party. Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn't taste like alcohol at all. He didn't even remember how he got home from the party. As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong. Jack had to force himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose! Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick!
"Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight.
Love you, darling!
Love, Jillian
He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Jack asks, "Son... what happened last night?"
"Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door."
Confused he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such perfect order, so clean, I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?"
His son replies, "Oh THAT!... Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, "Leave me alone, lady, I'm married!"
Broken Coffee Table $39.99
Hot Breakfast $4.20
Two Aspirins .38
Saying the right thing, at the right time . . Priceless!!!

That's great, Afs.

if that was the hospital it would have been $16

In Canada, it would be "free."

Pfft!!

But then, underneath, there'd be "Taxes: through the roof."

New Baby
With the sudden revelation of 57 & 59 year old women giving birth to twins, and no doubt others who are equally that age or maybe even older giving birth to single children, the following story seems to have surfaced at an interesting time.

With all the new technology regarding fertility, a 65-year-old woman was able to give birth to a baby recently.

When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, her relatives came to visit. "May we see the new baby?" one asked.

"Not yet," said the mother. "I'll make coffee and we can visit for awhile first."

Thirty minutes had passed, and another relative asked, "May we see the new baby now?"

"No, not yet," said the mother.

After another few minutes had elapsed, they asked again, "May we see the baby now?"

"No, not yet," replied the mother.

Growing very impatient, they asked, "Well, when CAN we see the baby?"

"WHEN HE CRIES!" she told them.

"WHEN HE CRIES??" they demanded. "Why do we have to wait until he CRIES??"

"BECAUSE........I forgot where I put him."

It's Senior Skip Day! Almost every senior at my school has taken off today. A bunch of us had breakfast together. Right now, I'm just "hanging out" with my gf in my empty house. We're going to see "Hide and Seek" in about an hour. Our basketball team has a disrtict playoff game tonight. After the game, there is going to be a massive party. It may rival New Year's.

Brrrrrrrrr, its fricken' COLD outside. The wind chill is around 18º.

Our senior skip day is on February 18.. I can't wait.

What the hell is Skip Day? You skip a day off school? Is that allowed?

Remember DC telling us about his local Godfather pizzeria opening? Well my brother told me about a Sopranos just around the corner from him and I was pleased to find a menu left on my desk. Bit of a dissapointment though, I was expecting better than this:

Great story Af!

Well, I got a new job, thank God. The restaurant job was fun, but it was part time, and offered no benefits. Now I'm working full-time at Wal-Mart as an inventory control specialist (I.C.S.). Basically, I make sure all the shelves in the grocery section are stocked full of items, help unload every now and again, that sorta thing. It ain't the best job, but it'll pay for school, and a new car, and its full time. I don't have health insurance, so just going to the doctor's office for them to glance at me costs me $75. Now, after the 90-day evaluation period, I'll get a 55 cent increase in pay, plus full health and dental insurance, and 401K. Gotta start somewhere.

Congrats, XDC. Getting your health insurance is very important and Wal-Mart has halfway decent benefits. Don't forget your 10% discount!!

Today is Abe Lincoln's birthday. If John Wilkes Booth hadn't shot him, he'd be 196 years old.

Afs, that was great!!

Turi, when I was in school we had a senior "skip day", but it was organized by the school, and we all went to the beach.

However, my daughters'had a senior skip day that the seniors planned on their own to simply "skip" school and go to the beach, or party, or hangout with friends. No, technically, it isn't allowed, but the school never did much since nearly the whole senior class was gone, and somehow the rumor would get around beforehand that it was gonna happen. I assume Freddy's skip day is much the same.

xXx, congratulations on your job. There's nothing wrong at all working with Walmart. I have heard that it's a good place to work. I'm sure you'll be glad for the health insurance too. Even if it's something you are lucky enough not to have to use much, man...it's great to have when you really need it, as health care costs an arm and a leg. Good luck to you.

TIS

What's the world coming too. DSC actually liked a funny story and didn't say "Ah, I'd heard that one before!"

Congratulations XDC, I'm so happy for you. Benefits sounds great and Walmart is like the best place to hang out. One of my fav. stores besides Target to go and spend the whole Saturday afternoon shopping!! I'm a shopping freak but it is not like you could have done a lot of other things in Alabama. Their prices are great too.

I like that box of Smint in the corner, it adds a certain "freshness" to the picture.

I didn't want to reply to this in Arthur Miller's RIP thread (where it originally was) because it seemed inappropriate, but I couldn't resist moving it over here and having a laugh... Please notice this part (if you didn't already): "I always heard he was the best Willy." I don't know if it was on purpose or not, but it cracked me up.

Just thought I'd let people know that this will be my last post for about a week because I am going to Las Vegas and Phoenix. TTYL!

Turi, yeah its like TIS says.. except my school said if we do it, we're suspended. But we're going to do it anyway. We'll have our parents call in and say we're sick or something.

I am so enjoying my new mini stereo system. It's so nice to have a turntable. I keep going back and forth from tapes, cds, & records. Not to mention, I'm going from totally different types of music. Cat Stevens to the Beatles to Dean Martin.....I'm enjoying it.


TIS

Hey TIS - I remember when you were looking for one. Which one did you end up with?

TIS is now:

Funk Master Tisshizzle

I wonder how much that picture REALLY says about me. I think people here should post pictures of their immediate surroundings.

I hear your desk saying "please rearrange things and don't just throw your stuff on me". I know this because I hear my desk saying the same thing all the time!
