This project would be perfect for some snow birds i know :)

Updated Look.
I updated the look of my website, because I was getting complaints that stuff was not showing up correctly on various browsers.
Hopefully that resolves the issues. If not please let me know ASAP.
Thanks.
Bus Driver Shears off his roof.
Brad the Bus Driver, in Seattle on Wednesday, chauffeuring a charter that was 11 ft, 8 inches high, underneath an overpass that’s 9 ft, 0 inches high [with photos].
Comment: What a jackass. If i am driving a vehicle where i am responsible for the well being of others, I would know all the details of what vehicle I am driving. Like the height???? In the story Mr. Busdriver claims to blame the GPS for not being accurate.
Uhm. Your bus is 11' 8" , the warning says 9' 0" clearance. That is terrible. At least none of the kids got hurt.

'Calendar Girls' fundraising plan backfires in Spain
Ouch. Hearts in the right place.... They were just trying to help the kids out. I'm all for that.
Uhm. Although, I am unsure about the "Middle Aged Women - Erotic Calendar" idea. I could see how that wouldn't really succeed.
"One of the photos shows the mothers with discreetly placed Christmas tinsel as their only garb. Other poses include a shotgun-toting mom wearing only a fox pelt, and another covering her body with a red umbrella."

I wonder what turntables would sound like through that?
Of course I am influenced by the man!

EUREKA SPRINGS : UFO watchers find fewer saucers
"Of course, there may have been a heightened sense of questioning authority at the conference, as a sign inside the door read: “All government agents must register at the front desk and must wear name tags at all times NO EXCEPTIONS."
Aliens are weird, but the people who write books about them are even stranger apparently.
Nervous thief trapped by his own vomit.
"An Australian criminal who was so nervous during a hold-up that he was physically sick has been incriminated by his own vomit.
Police took DNA from the pool of sick and matched it to Ahmed Habib Jalloul, 20... "
Uruguay hosts biggest BBQ, grills 12 tons of beef
MMM.... Beef. 12 Tonnes of it. LOL.
To illustrate the point that would be equivalent to 12 of the trucks you see attatched to this post.
Apparently they broke the Guinness World Book Of Records.

Craigslist "Best of" Page...
Time to time, i look at the best of page cause it's soo damn hilarious.
For Example:
To the owner of the dog who took a shit outside my apartment building
Date: 2008-02-24, 3:59PM PST
All I have to say is Fuck You for not picking up your dog's shit.
The dog park is literally 25 meters away. You couldn't make your stupid dog wait 2 minutes? No. Instead, I step in your dog's steaming pile of crap on the SIDEWALK right in front of my building.
Even after I took my shoe off, and left it outside my apartment building, I could still smell your dog's shit all hovering around me like a toxic cloud.
Have you never had to clean dog shit out off of a pair of New Balance runners before? Maybe you should take a look at how many ridiculous grooves there are in the soles.
Meanwhile, I try to delicately rinse off your dog's shit in my bathroom sink, little bits of shit water splashing all over my clean hoodie and jeans. I start gagging because I can taste the dog shit steam . No matter how careful I am, shit water runs over into the actual shoe, soaking right through.
Puking a little in my mouth, I run away... just to come back to my fucking cat taking drink of your dog's shit water in the sink.
You asshole.
The kicker of it all is I just bought a brand new toothbrush. I haven't even used it for 3 days, and then I get to use it to clean out all of your dog's shit out of every single fucking groove of the soles.
Dog owners in Downtown Vancouver beware: the next time I see you NOT pick your dog's shit, I will be glad to pick it up for you.
You just don't want to know what I am gonna do with it.

Wanted: One Male Bed-Filler
Date: 2007-09-16, 11:58PM PDT
I’m just another busy person always on the go. I recently moved to a new place and bought a fantastic bed that I love. While so caught up in my day to day life, I have not had time to develop a romantic relationship lately. But when I come home at the end of the day and get in bed, it feels very empty.
I have thus decided to take applications for a bed-filler.
This is NOT a sex thing. If anything, it might be more appropriate to post this in the housewares section… but anyways.
Me:
-25 years old, straight single female
-5’8”, blond, hazel eyes, thick/curvy
-often restless/occupied when I get in bed; in need of soothing, relaxation
My bed:
-1 full sized bed, located in nice room in nice basement suite
-clean sheets
-2 new pillows for sleeping – none of those annoying throw pillows
-1 blue fleece blanket decorated with reindeer (don’t ask)
-room temperature kept cool as to facilitate snuggling (see below)
I require:
-one straight, single man
-between the ages of 25 and 30 years old
-minimum 6 feet tall, 6’2” is better, 6’4” is most desireable and also the maximum height sought
-must practice good hygiene, smell pleasant and regularly manscape if his body hair is excessive in volume
-piercings and tattoos to be considered on individual basis
-must enthusiastically cuddle, snuggle and spoon me
-must NOT scratch himself excessively in the morning and NEVER Dutch-oven me
-must limit alcohol intake to 2 beers on any night he is acting as bed-filler
-must seek medical consul if he consistently snores when not drunk, sick
-should occasionally play with my hair
What the successful applicant receives:
-the satisfaction of helping me sleep better
-sleeping with a girl who’s hair always smells nice
-free dream interpretation in the morning (just a weird gift I have)
Applicants who can demonstrate ESP skills, thus knowing which nights and at what times I need my bed-filler without my explicit request, will be given priority in the short listing phase. Amusing and/or insightful pillow talk may be rewarded with kisses or tea (to be decided at the discretion of the bed-filler).
Thanks and good luck!

Is This YOUR Marijuana!?!?!?!?!?!?
Date: 2007-09-14, 2:50PM PDT
Yesterday, I got a small padded envelope in the mail, returned to my address in North Vancouver because it needed a customs declaration attached.
Trouble is, I never sent this particular parcel.
My wife looked it over, and we realized that it had the right address, but there was no such apartment number.
We looked up the name at the top, but there is no R. Kent in the phone book, nor any people with the same last name with a similar street number. A quick search on Canada Posts website reveals the postal code to be valid on a nearby street.
My wife opened it, and you can imagine our reaction to its contents. We debated if it was a friend playing a joke on us, or if it was intended to be found and cause trouble. However, Canada Customs never found out about the contents, so the point is rendered moot.
I will keep the contents for now, and remail the envelope with a photo of its former contents with a short note saying if he gets in touch with the person how mailed it orginally, he can drop by and retrieve it.
He better hurry though, as I only intend to hang onto it for so long.
