Women in portraiture

This is really quite exceptional. Not funny, but exceptional nonetheless. No one will appreciate this more than my better half.

 

The whole thing takes about two minutes but is masterfully put together: http://miraulam.multiply.com/video/item/38

Who is doing the work?

WHO IS DOING THE WORK?

 

The population of the USA is 300 million.

 

 

 

            160 million are retired.

 

 

 

            That leaves 140 million to do the work.

 

 

 

            There are 85 million in school.

 

 

 

            Which leaves 55 million to do the work.

 

 

 

            Of this there are 35 million employed by the federal

            government.

 

 

 

            Leaving 15 million to do the work.

 

 

 

            2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing

            Osama Bin-Laden.

 

 

 

            Which leaves 12.2 million to do the work.

 

 

 

            Take from that total the 10.8 million people who work for state

            and city governments.

 

 

 

            And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.

 

 

 

            At any given time there are 188, 000 people in hospitals.

 

 

 

            Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.

 

 

 

            Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.

 

 

 

            That leaves just two people to do the work.

 

 

 

            You and me.

 

 

            And there you are.

 

 

            Sitting on your ass.

 

 

            At your computer, reading jokes.

 

 

            Nice. Real nice!!

How fast are your reflexes? sheep tranquilizer game

OK, so I had trouble sleeping tonight. There are worse things I could be
doing at 3:10am on a Saturday morning than playing a silly game of Shoot the
Sheep with tranquilizer darts. And hey, no sheep were actually harmed in the
playing of this game, I am almost positive.

See how fast your reflexes are. Can you beat the level of "Rocketing
Rabbit"?

Good luck.

The frustrations of golf

Hopefully this has never happened to you, but I can certainly feel this golfer’s pain…. - tj

It was a sunny morning, a little before 8:00am, on the first hole of a busy course.  I was beginning my pre-shot routine, visualizing my upcoming shot, when a piercing voice came over the club house loud speaker, "Would the gentleman on the woman's tee back up to the men's tee please!" 

I could feel every eye on the course looking at me.  I was still deep in my routine, seemingly impervious to the interruption.  

Again the announcement, "Would the man on the woman's tee kindly back up to the men's tee!" 

I simply ignored the guy, trying to keep my concentration, when once more, the man yelled, "Would the man on the woman's tee back up to the men's tee, please!" 

I finally stopped, turned, cupped my hands and shouted back . . .  "Would the #@*#hole with the microphone kindly keep quiet and let me play my second shot!"

Who is the presidential candidate whose views most closely align to yours?

This is really fascinating – if this tool accurately reflects the candidates’ actual views (so that’s a BIG question mark about this little application).

 

But suspending my cynicism for just a moment and allowing that this tool does accurately represent the candidates’ views on these political issues, your responses to this is an 11-question survey supposedly will list in descending order which candidates for president most closely match your views on 11 topics, and in theory who you would most want to be in the Oval Office. You also get to indicate how important each of these 11 issues is. Sure, there are all sorts of intangibles like “experience” and “leadership” ability, etc., but heck, let’s not over-complicate this thing. It’s just a fun little tool.

 

My closest matching candidate? Joe Biden, followed closely by Bill Richardson and Denis Kucinich. I guess I am more liberal than even I realized.

 

The candidates least in alignment with my views: Fred Thompson, Jim Gilmore and Duncan Hunter (hey, who the hell is this guy? --- Fred Thompson, that is) Oh God, please not another actor in the white house! Pleeeeeease!!!!!

 

Fascinating little application. Try it out yourself and let me know if you discover any surprises.

 

Here is the link to this very quick survey: http://www.wqad.com/Global/link.asp?L=259460

Biden for President!!! (Hey, it’s what the survey told me to say!!)
