            <description>    &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;What&amp;#39;s the strangest thing you&amp;#39;ve ever found in the street? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The strangest thing I have ever found in the street was a baby alligator. Must have lost his way back to the water. He had traffic all tied up. Two men got out of their cars and captured him and took him back to the marsh about 100 ft from the road. Everyone applauded and drove off.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <description>    &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you had to be on a reality television show, which one would you pick?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
I hardly ever watch TV, so I really don&amp;#39;t know much about the reality shows. I would have to pick &amp;quot; So You Think You Can Dance.&amp;quot; &amp;#160; I am a very good dancer.&amp;#160; My Calif neighbor was a choreographer and we use to work out together. She taught me some great moves. Dancing keeps your body tuned, limber and graceful. I love it. I dance while cleaning house and when I am walking down the street. I live in my own little world most of the time. :) I&amp;#39;m happy...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of &lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot; id=&quot;lw_1193396909_4&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;&quot;&gt;New Orleans&lt;/span&gt; (every man, woman, child), you each get $516,528.00.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;b. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in &lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot; id=&quot;lw_1193396909_5&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;&quot;&gt;New Orleans&lt;/span&gt; , your home gets $1,329,787.00.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;c. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets
 $2,066,012.00.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot; id=&quot;lw_1193396909_6&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;&quot;&gt;Washington&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;, D.C&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt; ....

            <description>    &lt;p&gt;I have been on vacation for the past 3 weeks with rare opportunities to blog or check my e-mail. Before this vacation, I was addicted to my computer and thought I couldn&amp;#39;t live without it. After my vacation, I realized it wasn&amp;#39;t as important as I had previously thought. I guess that&amp;#39;s a good thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 2nd best thing about my vacation was; I didn&amp;#39;t hear, read or talk politics. That alone was refreshing. I was surrounded by good people with positive attitudes and no complaints. It was like being in a fantasy world. At least I know that family is more important than anything money can buy. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My sister&amp;#39;s new home is almost finished. It is beautiful and spacious. It will be ready in time for her husband&amp;#39;s arrival home from Iraq, (a medic) and to enjoy Christmas. I&amp;#39;ve been invited to join them, but I have decided to get my own place. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My ring is ready, so, I will be getting engaged very shortly. Life is great!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Pope, Billy Graham, and Oral Roberts…&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The Pope, Billy Graham, and Oral Roberts were in a three-way plane crash over
the Pacific &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.beliefnet.com/dailyjoke/dailyjoke.aspx?QID=3944&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: darkgreen;&quot;&gt;Ocean&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.
They all died and went to heaven together. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh, this is terrible,&amp;quot; exclaims St. Peter. &amp;quot;I know you guys
think we summoned you here, but this is just one of those coincidences that
happen. Since we weren&amp;#39;t expecting you, your quarters just aren&amp;#39;t ready... We
can&amp;#39;t take you in and we can&amp;#39;t send you back...&amp;quot;Then he got an idea. He
picked up the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.beliefnet.com/dailyjoke/dailyjoke.aspx?QID=3944&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: darkgreen;&quot;&gt;phone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,
&amp;quot;Lucifer, this is St. Peter. Hey, I got these three guys up here. They&amp;#39;re
ours, but we weren&amp;#39;t expecting them, and we gotta fix the place up for them. I
was hoping you could put them up for a while. It&amp;#39;ll only be a few of days. What
d&amp;#39;ya say?&amp;quot; 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Reluctantly, the Devil agreed. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
However, two days later... St. Peter got a call. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&amp;quot;Pete, this is Lucifer. Hey, you gotta come get these guys. This Pope
fellow is forgiving everybody, the Graham guy is saving everybody, and that
Roberts has raised enough &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.beliefnet.com/dailyjoke/dailyjoke.aspx?QID=3944&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: darkgreen;&quot;&gt;money&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
to buy air conditioning.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;________________________________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;One day God was looking down at
earth and saw all of the rascally&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;behavior that was going on. So He called one of
His angels to go to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;earth for a time. When he returned, he told God,
&amp;quot;Yes, it is bad on&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Earth; 95% are misbehaving and only 5% are
not&amp;quot; God thought for a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdan a&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;moment and said,
&amp;quot;Maybe I had better send down another angel to get&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;a second opinion.&amp;quot; So God called another
angel and sent him to earth for a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;time too. When the angel returned he went to God
and said, &amp;quot;Yes,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;it&amp;#39;s true. The earth is in decline; 95% are
misbehaving, but 5% are being&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;good.&amp;quot; God was not pleased. So He decided to
e-mail the 5 % who were&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;good, because He wanted to encourage them, give them a little
something&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;to help them keep going. Do you know what the
e-mail said?&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;No?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 12pt 0in;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;Okay, just checking with you. I
didn&amp;#39;t get one either...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

            <description>    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;Label1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;This lady
approaches a priest and tells him, &amp;quot;Father, I have a problem. I have
these two talking female parrots, but they only know how to say one
thing.&amp;quot; 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&amp;quot;What do they say?&amp;quot; the priest asked. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&amp;quot;They only know how to say, &amp;#39;Hi, we are prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?&amp;#39;&amp;quot; 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&amp;quot;That&amp;#39;s terrible!&amp;quot; the priest exclaimed, &amp;quot;But I have a solution to your
problem. Bring your two talking female parrots over to my house and I
will put them with my two male talking parrots who I have taught to
pray and read the Bible. My parrots will teach your parrots to stop
saying that terrible phrase and your female parrots will learn to pray
and worship.&amp;quot; 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&amp;quot;Thank you,&amp;quot; said the lady. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The next day, the lady brings her female parrots to the priest&amp;#39;s house.
The priest&amp;#39;s two male parrots are holding rosary beads and praying in
their cage. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The lady puts her female talking parrots in with the male talking
parrots and the female parrots say, &amp;quot;Hi, we are prostitutes! Do you
want to have some fun?&amp;quot; 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
One male parrot looks over to the other male parrot and screams, &amp;quot;Frank! Put the Bibles away--our prayers have been answered!&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

            <description>    &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;What experience or moment in your life have you learned the most from?&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 0.8em;&quot;&gt;Submitted by &lt;a href=&quot;http://mommiestone.vox.com/&quot; class=&quot;enclosure-inline-user&quot; at:enclosure=&quot;inline-user&quot; at:user-xid=&quot;6p00cd9783fa83f9cc&quot; at:screen-name=&quot;AngieK&quot; at:delegate=&quot;people-connect&quot; at:user-pic=&quot;http://up3.vox.com/6a00cd9783fa83f9cc00fad6978ded0005-75si&quot; &gt;AngieK&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Well, I haven&amp;#39;t had all that many experiences, yet. So far, life has been very, very good to me. So, I guess it might be when I get married and have children.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <pubDate>Sat, 29 Sep 2007 03:31:40 -0700</pubDate>         
            
            <description>    &lt;div class=&quot;snap_preview&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;I found this short story on Yahoo about a
guy named Tim Patch, who calls himself Pricasso because he paints with
his prick. No lie, his prick. There are just too many visuals that are
running through my head to write coherently, so forgive me. The article
said he had painted many famous people including Bush and the Queen of
England. I wonder if they sat for their painting or he just painted
them when he was horny.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At least we know he is Bi-sexual. Does he take Cialis to get that 4 hour erection? I wonder how long his paintbrush is…&lt;br /&gt;
How can anyone keep a straight face and watch him paint?&lt;br /&gt;
Does he paint fast and hard or slow and easy? or both? What happens if
the paint dries on his prick? Has he ever painted a self-portrait of
him painting? Did he enhance his paintbrush, just a little? If he
paints a lot is he getting callouses on his paintbrush? How does he
paint eyelashes on faces with eyelashes being so fine? Is his
paintbrush that tiny? With all the movement required with painting,
what does he do when he reaches a climax? Or, is that his signature?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can’t stop laughing, so I will leave the rest of the remarks in
the capable hands of my readers. I’m sure all of you can come up with
some goodies.&lt;/p&gt;

            <description>    &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do professional athletes make too much money, or do they deserve every penny?&amp;#160; Why?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe athletes make too much money for what they do and the level they do their job. How many average people working regular jobs can keep their jobs if they only do a good job 25% of the time? Baseball players make millions of dollars a year to bat the ball at&amp;#160; 250 - 300 % of the time.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
