This is kind of cool! Out of all of the billions of people who live in the
world, there has got to be somebody born on each date of the year. We are
going to try to accomplish the task of seeing if we can fill the
calendar up with a birthday on every day of the year. Just post a comment with your date of birth and country and I'll put you up! Let's see if we can do it!
Thanks, and Happy Birthday!!!

RESPONSE TO CBS
Apparently we are to be allowed to watch TV programs
that use every foul word in the English Language, but
not the word "God." It will only take a minute to read
this and see if you think you should send it out.
DR. DOBSON'S PLEA FOR ACTION
CBS discontinued "Touched by an Angel" for using the
word God in every program. Madeline Murray O'Hare, an
atheist, successfully managed to eliminate the use of
Bible reading from public schools a few years ago.
Now her organization has been granted a Federal
Hearing on the same subject by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington, DC.
Their petition, Number 2493, would ultimately pave the
way to stop the reading of the gospel our Lord and
Savior, on the airwaves of America.
They got 287,000 signatures to back their stand!
If this attempt is successful, all Sunday worship
services being broadcast on the radio or by television
will be stopped. This group is also campaigning to
remove all Christmas programs and Christmas carols
from public schools!!
You as a Christian (or any other religious background)
can help!
We are praying for at least
1 million signatures. This would defeat their effort
and show that there are many Christians alive, well
and concerned about our country. As Christians we must
unite on this. Please don't take this lightly.
We ignored this lady once and lost prayer in our
school and in offices across the nation.
Please stand up for your religious freedom and let
your voice be heard. Together we can make a difference
in our country while creating and for the lost to know
the Lord.
Now, please Add a comment with your name and state.
Post a comment with your name and state and I will
put you up. Please do not
sign jointly, such as Mr. & Mrs. Each person should
sign his/her own name. Please defeat this organization
and keep the right of our freedom of religion.
When I get to 1500 I will email this back to:
"Lisa Norman"
electric_yello@hotmailcom
REMEMBER: Our country was founded on freedom of
religion and our Constitution is based on the 10
Commandments.

One day A teacher told a little girl to go outside and to stand out there for 30 minutes and
Look up, down, and all around. When she came back in, the teacher asked her if she SAW God.
The little girl said no and the teacher said, Well, then he does not exist because you cannot see him.
Then a Little boy raised his hand and the teacher said Yes Johnny? Johnny stood up and said
Kelly, Look at the teacher's head. So Kelly did. Then Johnny said Can you see the teacher's brain?
"No" Said Kelly Then it doesn't exist because you can't see it.

Lighbulb changing (FUNNY) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOW MANY HORSEMEN DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB?
WESTERN PLEASURE RIDERS: Oh, my God, someone fix that bulb, I have to
have light so that my silver and spangles all glow to their best and so
that all the highlighter on Old Peanut Head makes his nose look so smooth
and sparkly and oh, my diamond studs have to flash in the light, you know,
so , oh, someone has to fix it. Oh, maybe you without all the silver on your
saddle, obviously you can't ride, you can do it.
ENDURANCE RIDER: Light bulb? Do you mind, I'm trying to get my
horse's pulse/respiration/hydration levels down to respectable levels. Once
that is done, I have another 50 miles to go before I can even think about
changing a light bulb.
DRESSAGE QUEEN: Change a light bulb? Are you joking? I couldn't
possibly be expected to subject myself to such a menial task. Change it
yourself. Oh, and wash your hands when you are finished. The very thought!
CLASSICAL DRESSAGE QUEEN: These things cannot be rushed, but must be
approached slowly, with great patience, and adherence to the
principles laid down by the classical masters, otherwise the light bulb will not attain its true potential, but will forever just be a shadow of its true self.
Never, ever, use any type of gadget when changing the light bulb. That is an
offense to the principles of classical light bulb changing.
EVENTERS: Wuss! As soon as my arm is out of this sling broken after
falling off at that large stone wall while riding Hell Bent for Leather
cross country, I'll change it. Until then, deal with the dark. It'll put
hair on your chest. Only dressage riders require lights, anyway.
SHOW JUMPER: Why on Earth would I need to change a light bulb when
the whole world knows that the sun shines out of my butt. Why, when I release
over a jump, the spectators are practically blinded.
NATURAL HORSEMAN: You must instill respect in the light bulb, so that
it sees you as the Alpha light bulb, using "light bulb dynamics" (video
set available at $179.00 on my Website). Once you have done this, you
will find that there is really no need to change the light bulb at all, but that
the light bulb will, with very little coaxing from you (using patented "light
bulb coaxer" wink designed by me - $99.00 each, for extra $49.99 you get a
introductory video thrown in) will behave as all good light bulbs should.
HUNTER RIDER: Well, I'm waiting for my trainer to tell me exactly how
but he's changing light bulbs somewhere else right now.
BACKYARD HORSEMAN: Do I have to do everything??!! Oh yeah, I do,
don't I? I'll get to it as soon as I'm done mucking stalls, cleaning and
filling the tub, cleaning and filling the water buckets, stacking my hay,
setting up for night feeding, cleaning my tack, picking out manure from the
paddock, brushing and exercising the horses, and whatever else needs to be
done.
HOW MANY HORSES DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB?
THOROUGHBRED: Who ME?? Do WHAT? I'm scared of light
bulbs! I'm outta here!
ARABIAN: Someone else do it. It might get my silky
mane dirty and besides,
who's gonna read me the instructions?
QUARTER HORSE: Put all the bulbs in a pen and tell me
which one you want
STANDARDBRED: Oh for Pete's Sake, give me the damn
bulb and let's be done with it.
SHETLAND: Give it to me. I'll kill it and we won't
have to worry about it anymore.
FRIESIAN: I would, but I can't see where I'm going
from behind all this mane
BELGIAN: Put the Shetland on my back, maybe he can
reach it then.
WARMBLOOD: Is the 2nd Level Instruction Packet in
English? Doesn't anyone realize that I was sold for $75K as a yearling, but
only because my hocks are bad, otherwise I would be worth $100K? I am NOT
changing lightbulbs. Make the thoroughbred get back here and do it.
MORGAN: Me! Me! Me! Pleeease let me! I wanna do it!
I'm gonna do it! I know how, really I do! Just watch!
My parole officer said it's okay, really!
And when we're done we can go over to the
neighbors and chase their cats!
APPALOOSA: Ya'll are a bunch of losers. We don't need
to change the lightbulb, I ain't scared of the dark. And someone
make that damn Morgan stop jumping up and down before I double barrel
him.
HAFLINGER: That thing I ate was a lightbulb?
I loved it! I hope you do too!

EVIL MUTANT ATTACK SQUIRREL OF DEATH!!!
I never dreamed slowly cruising on my motorcycle through a residential neighborhood could be so incredibly dangerous! Little did I suspect.
I was on Brice Street - a very nice neighborhood with perfect lawns and slow traffic. As I passed an oncoming car, a brown furry missile shot out from under it and tumbled to a stop immediately in front of me.
It was a squirrel, and must have been trying to run across the road when it encountered the car. I really was not going very fast, but there was no time to brake or avoid it -- it was that close. I hate to run over animals, and I really hate it on a motorcycle, but a squirrel should pose no danger to me.
I barely had time to brace for the impact. Animal lovers, never fear. Squirrels, I discovered, can take care of themselves!
Inches before impact, the squirrel flipped to his feet. He was standing on his hind legs and facing my oncoming Valkyrie with steadfast resolve in his beady little eyes. His mouth opened, and at the last possible second, he screamed and leapt!
I am pretty sure the scream was squirrel for, "Bonzai!" or maybe, "Die you gravy-sucking, heathen scum! " The leap was nothing short of spectacular...
He shot straight up, flew over my windshield, and impacted me squarely in the chest. Instantly, he set upon me. If I did not know better, I would have sworn he brought 20 of his little buddies along for the attack.
Snarling, hissing, and tearing at my clothes, he was a frenzy of activity. As I was dressed only in a light T-shirt, summer riding gloves, and jeans this was a bit of a cause for concern. This furry little tornado was doing some damage!
Picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a T-shirt, and leather gloves, puttering at maybe 25 mph down a quiet residential street, and in the fight of his life with a squirrel.
And losing...
I grabbed for him with my left hand. After a few misses, I finally managed to snag his tail. With all my strength, I flung the evil rodent off to the left of the bike, almost running into the right curb as I recoiled from the throw. That should have done it. The matter should have ended right there.
It really should have. The squirrel could have sailed into one of the pristinely kept yards and gone on about his business, and I could have headed home. No one would have been the wiser. But this
was no ordinary squirrel. This was not even an ordinary angry squirrel. This was an EVIL MUTANT ATTACK SQUIRREL OF DEATH!
Somehow he caught my gloved finger with one of his little hands and, with the force of the throw, swung around and with a resounding thump and an amazing impact, he landed squarely on my
BACK and resumed his rather antisocial and extremely distracting activities. He also managed to take my left glove with him! The situation was not improved. Not improved at all.
His attacks were continuing, and now I could not reach him. I was startled, to say the least. The combination of the force of the throw, only having one hand (the throttle hand) on the handlebars, and my jerking back unfortunately put a healthy twist through my right hand and into the throttle. A healthy twist on the throttle of a Valkyrie can only have one result.
Torque.
This is what the Valkyrie is made for, and she is very, very good at it. The engine roared and the front wheel left the pavement.
The squirrel screamed in anger.
The Valkyrie screamed in ecstasy.
I screamed in .. well .. I just plain screamed.
Now picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a slightly squirrel-torn t-shirt, wearing only one leather glove, and roaring at maybe 50 mph and rapidly accelerating
down a quiet residential street on one wheel, with a demonic squirrel of death on his back.
The man and the squirrel are both screaming bloody murder.
With the sudden acceleration I was forced to put my other hand back on the handlebars and try to get control of the bike. This was leaving the mutant squirrel to his own devices, but I really did not want to crash into somebody's tree, house, or parked car. Also, I had not yet figured out how to release the throttle... my brain was just simply overloaded. I did manage to mash the back brake, but it had little effect against the massive power of the big cruiser.
About this time the squirrel decided that I was not paying sufficient attention to this very serious battle (maybe he was an evil mutant NAZI attack squirrel of death), and he came around my neck
and got INSIDE my full-face helmet with me.
As the faceplate closed part way, he began hissing in my face. I am quite sure my screaming changed intensity. It had little effect on the squirrel, however. The RPMs on the Dragon
maxed out (since I was not bothering with shifting at the moment), so her front end
started to drop.
Now picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a very raggedly torn T-shirt, wearing only one leather glove, roaring at probably 80 mph, still on one wheel, with a large puffy squirrel's tail sticking out of the mostly closed full-face helmet. By now the screams are probably getting a little hoarse.
Finally I got the upper hand . I managed to grab his tail again, pulled him out of my helmet, and slung him to the left as hard as I could. This time it worked ... sort of.
Spectacularly sort of ...so to speak.
Picture a new scene. You are a cop. You and your partner have pulled off on a quiet residential street and parked with your windows down to do some paperwork. Suddenly a large man
on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a torn T-shirt flapping in the breeze, and wearing only one leather glove, moving at probably 80 mph on one wheel, and screaming bloody murder roars by, and with all his strength throws a live squirrel grenade directly into your police car.
I heard screams.
They weren't mine...
I managed to get the big motorcycle under control and dropped the front wheel to the ground. I then used maximum braking and skidded to a stop in a cloud of tire smoke at the stop sign of a busy cross street. I would have returned to 'fess up (and to get my glove back).
I really would have. Really... except for two things.
First, the cops did not seem interested or the slightest bit concerned about me at the moment. When I looked back, the doors on both sides of the patrol car were flung wide open. The cop from the passenger side was on his back, doing a crab walk into somebody's front yard, quickly moving away from the car. The cop who had been in the driver's seat was standing in the street, aiming a riot shotgun at his own police car.
So, the cops were not interested in me. They often insist to "let the professionals handle it" anyway.
That was one thing. The other?
Well, I could clearly see shredded and flying pieces of foam and upholstery from the back seat. But I could also swear I saw the squirrel in the back window, shaking his little fist at
me. That is one dangerous squirrel. And now he has a patrol car. A somewhat shredded patrol car ... but it was all his.
I took a deep breath, turned on my turn-signal, made a gentle right turn off of Brice Street, and sedately left the neighborhood. I decided it was best to just buy myself a new pair of gloves. And a whole lot of Band-Aids.
This was e-mailed to me by one of my good friends!
