The Sears Catalog

From the email archives:

---

Two rednecks were looking at a Sears catalog and admiring the models.

One says to the other, 'Have you seen the beautiful girls in this catalog?'



The second one replies, 'Yes, they are very beautiful. And look at the price!'

The first one says, with wide eyes, 'Wow, they aren't very expensive. At this price, I'm buying one.'

The second one smiles and pats him on the back. 'Good idea! Order one and if she's as beautiful as she is in the catalog, I will get one too.'

Three weeks later, the youngest redneck asks his friend, 'Did you ever receive the girl you ordered from the Sears catalog?'



The second redneck replies......

'No, but it shouldn't be long now. '

'I got her clothes yesterday!'

Play The Operation Game



Not a "game", but a commentary on the current US healthcare system.

From the site:

Try and fix healthcare.

Any attempt to reform our collapsing healthcare system is up against powerful political forces. Who can save it? The clock is ticking!

Volcano From Space

From NASA:

A fortuitous orbit of the International Space Station allowed the astronauts this striking view of Sarychev volcano (Russia’s Kuril Islands, northeast of Japan) in an early stage of eruption on June 12, 2009. Sarychev Peak is one of the most active volcanoes in the Kuril Island chain and is located on the northwestern end of Matua Island.

Nuke It!

From the website:

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a nuclear bomb goes off in your city? With Google's Maps framework and a bit of Javascript, you can see the outcome. And it doesn't look good.

Seems Like "Yesterday"

That the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan show and then just a few hours later (meaning a too-short career, not literally) performing their last time together on a rooftop with an extra-long version of "Hey Jude" and ending with "Get Back".

Here's a cool website that has some early, unpublished photos of the Fab Four.

I've Been Banned!

I saw a post about a show of which I wasn't familiar: "The Real Housewives of New Jersey". I Googled the show and decided to go to the official web site to see what it was all about. This is what greeted me when I arrived on the site:



(I've blacked out my IP number)

Like I said though, I'd only just heard of the show, so I couldn't understand why I'd been banned. They DO have msg. boards, but I've never been on them to stir things up.

Maybe my reputation is starting to precede me all over the 'net?
