OK, time to turn off the radio, pull out the 8 Track, and get back to some serious humor, fun, games, links, and the occasional educational post. (For those of you too young to know what an 8 track is--just ask your dad.)


Da Mook sent me these so I pass them along to yall. [:p]




People over 25 should be dead...to the survivors:

According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were
kids in the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's probably shouldn't have survived.

Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint. We had no
childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets, and when we rode our
bikes, we had no helmets. (Not to mention the risks we took hitchhiking.)

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors!
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one
actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in
it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing..

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we
were back when the street lights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. No cell phones. Unthinkable.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down
the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into
the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, no video games at
all, no 99 channels on cable, video tape movies, surround sound, personal
cell phones, personal computers, or Internet chat rooms.

We had friends! We went outside and found them.
We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones and teeth,and there were
no lawsuits from these accidents.

We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms, and
although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did
the worms live inside us forever.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or
rang the bell or just walked in and talked to them.

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team.
Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of.
They actually sided with the law. Imagine that!

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem
solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion
of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

And you're one of them!

Congratulations. Please pass this on to others who have had the luck
to grow up as kids, before lawyers and government regulated our lives,
for our own good.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors?

Can I bring . . . . Sergeant Pepppers (he is a little lonely you know) and my pet raccoon Rocky, we call him Rocky Raccoon.


As I understand it...Sgt Pepper won a battlefield commission and is now Maj Pepper (ret). He and his brother, James, a Doctor no less are managing the Spice Girls.

BAD NEWS KEVIN

I asked my wife, She-who-knows-all-things-fashion, and she says LV stands for Louis Vitton, very fashionable, very exclusive and very expensive. I hope she doesnt develop a taste for high end stuff like that.

It is now time for the next edition of the Hunor Thread Paper [:)]


This is a true story.


One time at church several of the ladies were discussing wearing makeup and not wearing makeup. Some for "for" and some were "against". The discussion continued for some time with neither side giving in. The pastor just happened to walk into the area where the discussion was taking place. Poor man became caught in the middle. So they ask the pastor point blank his decision on wearing makeup.
After a few seconds of thought he said, "A little paint will make any old barn look better". [:D]
