New Yorkers arrived
One day at the entrance to heaven, St. Peter saw a New York street gang.

walk up to the Pearly Gates. This being a first, St. Peter ran to God and said, "God,

there are some evil, thieving New Yorkers at the Pearly Gates. What do I do?".

God replied, "Just do what you normally do with that type. Re-direct them down to hell."

St. Peter went back to carry out the order and all of a sudden he comes running back yelling "God, God, they're gone, they're gone!"

"Who, the New Yorkers?".

"No, the Pearly Gates."

Like, I think it's time for me to, like let someone else post for once

Now for a little humor . . . . . [:D]



A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of
the blood.

Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now,
class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know,
would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."

"Yes," the class said.

"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in
the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my
feet?"

A little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet ain't
empty."

Man I leave for 3 or 4 days and what do yall do? Run poor Mac through the washer, dryer and the old time wringer. I hope he is ok. [:)]

Hey Mac, does this mean we can't have any more funny stories about the life you no longer remember because the aliens "took it" from you? [:)]

Are we all invited to the ceremony? [:D] Or are you going to Florida and having a secret vacation/ceremony? da da da dadada (wedding march music). [:D]

On your return trip home you can take Amtrak to Houston (or close to it) and see Ed and then take the Texas Eagle and come see me. [8D] [:D] [;)]

Then you can take Duchess home with you and have the terror oh I mean dog that she always wanted. [}:)]

Now as far as taking the laptop with you where ever you go. Just remember computers are getting REAL cheap these days and this is the Christmas season where specials abound so another computer in the house is a possibility. And ME might even get her own screen nic and then its Katy bar the door. [}:)] [:p] [;)] [:D]

Oh well, I hope you enjoyed your time off. Did you say hello to Pol-E bear for me? [:D]

Kev,
A fetish is a object belived to posses spritual powers, or a object of excessive attention or reverence, and lastly, an obsessive attachment or fixation.

Now, if we are talking about trains, or christmas lights, and thats one thing, but if we were talking about, oh, I dont know, high heel shoes, then I would have to wonder.[:D]

Jeep photos on the way..

You know, I heard a story once, about how a guy helped out a girl who was, well, lets say there had been better days for her to ride a train...
Funny, you still think you picked her!

Buy the way, she let everyone know about your christmas light fetish.

Well, this is utterly embarassing. I can't leave the house for 4 days without something going wrong..

To be quite honest, I can't quite remember uhhh saying any of those htings, because while i was gone, i was abducted by aliens and the aliens removed a certain portion of my brain, which means i can't rememebr this stuff anymore.

The aliens were green, and short.

Ok, yes i did say those things, None of which i'm content about or am I proud about, see some of them ere said randomly as a joke, and its amazing how not everyone likes the jokes...

i'd be my usual slef, and say tough cheese, but I know what it's a pain a joke soemone has just said..


....PSYCH! ! No I don't know what it's like, I guess if it's funny I like it, Except when people make fun of my Girlfriend or make a joke about her, then they jsut wind up face first on the platform.. Watch your step!
Unless it's a good joke about her.. like i don't know.. somehting which makes me laugh..

My actions have now been Justifified! oh and no joint checking account, My money is Mine with a capitol M. I'd rather it NOt be spent on useless items (Some above the below have no purpose either)

-More Shoes
- A Laurent Valino hand bag (No, i don't care what his name is)
- more Purses
-Bras

Now that i'm a dead man, i'm going to run, run, run!

I'm glad to be back.. so i Can monitor whats going on!!

Retirement Plan: .

ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you
would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00. With
Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left.

If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser (the
beer, not the stock) one year ago, drunk all the beer
then turned in the cans for the 10-cent deposit, you
would have $214.00.

Based on the above, my current investment advice is to
drink heavily and recycle. This is a new retirement
program, I call it the 401Keg.



[8D][8D][8D]401keg is that how many well get to drink yearly or what
and can i get that up front[:0][:D][8D][xx(]

Day three.. almsot over, as a matter of fact, This could be the last day.. I guess you'll all find out tommorow

Don't forget to give Kevin a big Welcome! hahaha Trains.com Style!

So like I promised, one last story...

One Time at a Restaurant, Not as low class as McDonalds, Yet not as high class as Rits Carlton
Somewhere in the middle.. Worst of all, I was there. again! So this is how it went.. we artrived at this Restaurant and Kevin was still in uniform with his Radio and all nine yards.. we were with the Enginerr and his Wife/girlfriend.. don't know if they got married? anyways.. so the four of us were sitting eating supper having mindless chit chat.. when This computer voice came over the Radio "CP DETECTOR... MILE..." (the restaurant is somewhat close to the tracks..) that lasted for about 1 minute, so it wasn't bad enough that everyone was starring at the two of them, they were all really quiet.. So kevin, in an attemopt to lighten things up yells out

"is it just me? or does rap keep getting lazier?

That pretty much sent me, and the rest of the restaurant into a laughing fit.. Except the table of Black guys behind us. Wich when we realized they were there, It wasn't funny anymore. And they kept starring at Us not that it was a problem, But even i had a laugh at that one, as a matter of fact so did the rest of the restaurant, except the black guys behind us..

oh well, their loss..

Hey.. I took the Train home tonight.. It sucked! Really it did.. all the conductors were all serious, no one was in a joking mood... If it was Kevin there, They'd all be laughing or Smiling.. The Train sucks without him, It really does.

BOARING..
thats the best way to describe the ride..
And its pretty boaring here, (not on the site, at HOME) without him.

well he'll be home mid-afternoon tommorow.. So welcome him, and laugh at him, and mock him.
You know, Especually Ed... make sure you Really rub it in.

Peace everyone!

The difference between the city police and small town police is they have motorcycle cops in the city.
I come out from the store and there was a motorcycle cop writing a ticket. I asked him "why are you writing a ticket?"
He didn’t say anything.
I shouted "are you deaf?"
He just wrote another ticket.
I said to him "you are the stupidest cop I ever saw!"
He then wrote another ticket.
Finally, I got tired of talking to him, walked around the corner, got into my truck and drove off.

Happy Thanksgiving [:)]

Are YOU a problem thinker?

It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then to loosen up.
Inevitably though, one thought led to another, and soon I was more than just a social thinker.

I began to think alone - "to relax," I told myself. But I knew it wasn't true. Thinking became more
and more important to me, and finally I was thinking all the time.

I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't stop myself.

I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau and Kafka. I would return to the office
dizzied and confused, asking, "What is it exactly we are doing here?"

Things weren't going so great at home either. One evening I had turned off the TV and asked my wife
about the meaning of life. She spent that night at her mother's. I soon had a reputation as a heavy thinker.

One day the boss called me in. He said, "Skippy, I like you, and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don't stop thinking on the job, you'll have to find another job." This gave me a lot to think about.

I came home early after my conversation with the boss. "Honey," I confessed, "I've been thinking..."

"I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!"

"But Honey, surely it's not that serious."

"It is serious," she said, lower lip aquiver. "You think as much as college professors,
and college professors don't make any money, so if you keep on thinking we won't have any money!"

"That's a faulty syllogism," I said impatiently, and she began to cry. I'd had enough. "I'm going to the library," I snarled as I stomped out the door.

I headed for the library, in the mood for some Nietzsche, with NPR on the radio. I roared into the parking lot and ran up to the big glass doors... they didn't open. The library was closed.

To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night.

As I sank to the ground clawing at the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Zarathustra, a poster caught my eye. "Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?" it asked. You probably recognize that line.
It comes from the standard Thinker's Anonymous poster.

Which is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker. I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting
we watch a non-educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting.

I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. Life just seemed... easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking.

More computer stuff:

Murphy's Laws Of IT
Jim's Laws of Computer Maintenance
1- When computing, whatever happens, behave as though you meant it to happen.
2- When you get to the point where you really understand your computer, then it's probably obsolete.
3- The first place to look for information is in the section of the manual where you least expect to find it.
4- When the going gets tough, upgrade.
5- For every action there is an equal and opposite malfunction
6- To err is human... to really screw things up royally requires a computer.
7- He who laughs last probably made a back-up.
8- A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked just fine.
9- The No. 1 cause of computer problems is computer solutions.
10- A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely what you want it to do.
