Out-of-Date

I noticed a headline on my Yahoo start page about Susan Boyle, the British Idol sensation and wanted to see if there was a video of her latest performance. Clicking on the link, I didn't find the vid, but I did notice several ads like this one:



Sometimes it's just a typo, so I checked and found out the information IS over nine years old.

I understand mistakes can be made, but doesn't anyone proofread this crap?

Anyway, I did find a vid of Ms. Boyle singing.

Memories from the musical "Cats"

EDIT: New post, because some doofus came in and insisted it was a '52 model. He gave no proof or references and didn't even leave a link to compare, which makes me question his self-proclaimed expertise on this vehicle. I will admit my own ignorance as to the year model because I went solely by the license plate. Honest mistake, because I couldn't find the owner to find out more about it.

Whatever, it's still a lovely car.

Lovely car. If there was anything that detracted, it would've been the yellowing whitewalls.



Note the reflections of a big doofus in all the chrome.

Who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the VETERAN, not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the VETERAN, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.



It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us freedom to assemble.

In this quiz, but...




Your Butt Says You're Competitive



You are a powerful, assertive person. You are a go-getter in all aspects of your life.

You are not afraid to flirt and show off what you've got. At times, you can be a bit full of yourself.

You find close relationships and romance difficult. You don't feel like you'll ever meet your true soulmate.

You are outgoing and confident. You are proud of who you are, and you are brutally honest.

You tend to be a serious, straight laced kind of person. It takes you a while to warm up and let loose.
