  • "Water water everywhere, and all the boards did shrink,
    Water water everywhere, nor any drop to drink..."

    It's been flooding here for the past several days. Huge amounts of rain and several busted water mains have led to the destruction of many homes and businesses. Fortunately I live in an area that wasn't too badly hit, and the worst my house suffered was a few leaks in the roof. However, at one point it was bad enough that the state declared a state of emergency and the flooding was the worst the city has had since 1881. This was several days ago, and still many roads and byways are closed due to flooding.

          Yes thank God. I would've gone nuts!

          Actually the power held up surprisingly well. Lights flickered a lot but the electricity was never shut off, although the same certainly can't be said for the houses whose water level reaches up to about a person's chest.

          • Mel Gibson

            I dont care what Mel Gibson did or said or who he breathed on. I dont want to hear him apologize for remarks he made about any group of people or even for getting plastered and trying to go for a joy ride. I dont care if he was drunk when he made the comments or if he was being forced to say them @ gunpoint. I dont care that he played Jesus in a movie and I dont care if Jesus was or was not Jewish.

            I dont care.

                • I shaved the goatee-thing I had been growing for weeks this morning. My chin looks so different.

                      I remember the first time my beard came off. Scared the snot out of me. Hadn't seen my whole face in about two years. I couldn't look in a mirror for a couple of days without cringing. It was almost as bad ast the time my dad shaved without warning us. I'm at the breakfast table and I look up at him, and then do a complete double take. It was like a stranger was eating breakfast with us. Freakiest thing ever.

                      • As President Bush is getting off the helicopter in front of the White House, he has a baby pig under each arm.
                        The Marine guard snaps to attention, salutes, and says: "Nice pigs, sir." The President replies: "These are not pigs, these are authentic Texan Razorback Hogs. I got one for VP Cheney, and I got one for Defense Secretary Rumsfeld." The Marine again snaps to attention, salutes, and replies, "Nice trade, sir."

                          It really is freaky when people shave their beards, especially if they've had them for a long time. It's like you can't look at the person the same way.
