Zip Line Mishap

The extreme zip lines have fascinated me since I found several vids on You Tube and the regular visitors to this blog may remember a year or so ago when I posted several of them. When I was a kid, some friends of mine and I put up a small one, much like the one in the following video.

I think this might be the last zip line vid I'll ever post.

There might be some cursing, but it's fairly unintelligible. If it'd been ME on the zip, you'd have heard a bunch of cussin'. You probably would've seen me throwing up, too.

I Win Again!

Was just notified that I had won a 12 serving sample pack of Arbuckles coffee from my entering the current Marlboro sweepstakes.



I don't smoke Marlboros these days, but I appreciate the prizes I've won. I got my bottle opener the other day but have yet to receive my money clip.

I'll have to divide that bag up into several servings, though, because I have only a 4-cup coffee maker. That's about as much coffee as I can stand to drink in a day and even that gets me pretty jittery. 12 cups of coffee would keep me up for days!

(keep me "up" going to the bathroom, actually)

To tell you the truth, I was fast in my youth, but these days my celerity is basically hilarity.

I'm Blue All the Time

You Are Navy Blue

You're a true adventurer. You constantly find yourself drawn to new experiences, people, and places. Sometimes you feel quite scattered and bored. If something exciting isn't going on, you feel a bit lost.

What Color Blue Are You?

Stamp of Disapproval

From the email archives:

---

The Postal Services created a stamp with a picture of President Obama on it, but they noticed that the stamp was not sticking to envelopes.

This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation. After a month of testing, and $1.73 million in congressional spending, a special Presidential commission presented the following findings.




1. The stamp is in perfect order
2. There is nothing wrong with the glue
3. People are spitting on the wrong side

A discount doesn't help when you're as emotionally bankrupt as I am.
