Good morning all,

My wife and I finally rented "The Station Agent" last night, and liked it. Especially when the eccentric artist runs him off the road twice [(-D]. We also rented "The Whole Ten Yards". Bruce Willis is funnier in this one than the first movie.

I read in yesterday's KC Star that WWE "rassler" Brock Lesnar is trying out for the Minnesota Vikings as a defensive lineman. Get this, he walks away from a 45 million dollar contract with the WWE to RE-LEARN how to play football. He last played football in....high school. Even though Brock is 6-foot-3 and 290 pounds, he was getting manhandled around the line of scrimmage due to keeping his body too high and giving away too much leverage. On the better side, Brock's coaches and team players say he's improving every day, because of his strong work ethic....and physical strength.

THEN, on top of the training, Brock has to sing for the veterans...or wind up being taped to a goal post. The Vikings have a routine that rookies have to sing for the veterans. Hmmmm I wonder how that will turn out.

Take care,

Russell
All the Way!

Please sit yourself down sir,dinner will be ready in just a few moments.
I can tell you that the chili is good this evening[:)]

I'll have me a bowl of CHILI!

Do we have any fried pork rinds, or chicharones as known by some, to go with that?

rvos1979,

No, I'm afraid it's only about a three alarm this time. I tried to get it to five alarm, but
it just didn't turn out. Maybe I should have used two jars of Pace HOT picante sauce!

Of course, none of these would happen here:

"Don't you guys have them 99 cent Whoppers?" -- Asked of a Taco Bell cashier.
"How many pieces are in the eight piece chicken deal?"
"What's the difference?" -- Asked of a waitress when asked if the customer would like breadsticks with or without cheese.
"Do you get rice with your fried rice?"
"Our whipped butter is made with margarine." -- On a menu.
"Excuse me. These ham and cheese rolls -- do they have ham in them?" -- A customer at a bakery cafe.
