Mark Smith proved he was as dense as a rainforest when he fell sound asleep under his victim's bed.
He had crept past Heather Stephenson while she was ironing.
He rifled gems from a jewellery box and helped himself to a cheque book, but the vodka and valium he had already downed that morning was taking its toll.
And when stunned Mrs Stephenson came upstairs, she found Smith fast asleep under her bed.

Wasp hunters from the village, who are mostly in their 80’s, catch them in nearby forests.
They are then boiled in water, dried and sprinkled over the cracker mix, which is then stamped by hot iron cracker cutters.
A bag of 20 crackers costs £1.60, but output is limited as the wasps are caught in the wild for optimum flavour.
Yum! Link

Your Superpower Should Be Mind Reading |
Why you would be a good superhero: You don't care what people think, and you'd do whatever needed to be done Your biggest problem as a superhero: Feeling even more isolated than you do now |

The copycat effect even affects celebrity families. Learned behavior and the modeling power of the copycat effect may be a stronger link than even biological predeterminism.
Ernest Hemingway:
The so-called “Hemingway Curse” is one such example. Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway wrote literary masterpieces. His father and two siblings died by suicide, and the rumors of a Hemingway Curse has become an urban legend.
One allegorical story is told of Hemingway’s mother baking a cake for him on his 21st birthday, and putting the gun his father used to kill himself in the middle of the cake. [link]

How does one say goodbye when
it's not time to go?How does one just stop the feeling when tears begin to flow?How does one keep going on though life seems at an end?It will pass others say, there's happiness round the bend.Seems many lifetimes she has waited for the pain to leave, and still there is this burning mere mortals can't conceive. What may befall on others, seems to pass her by. When will it be her turn when she won't need to cry?
Pity not this foolish girl this is the path she chose. Hearbreak was the shortest route the other path was froze.Will she feel warmth again? Will she feel the sun? Will she feel a loved one's arms when the day is done?Will a fragrance smell as sweet as it did before the day, this foolish girl took a special love and threw it all away.
Is there an answer some where close will she have to search? Will she find true happiness or is this some cruel curse?Will she learn her lesson or fall way back behind? It's when there's so much waiting the thoughts stay in her mind.Once the spirit's broken I am not so sure it will heal.

More than 1,680 guitar players turned out, tuned up and took part in what organizers say was a world record rendition of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" — a song that was the first many of them ever learned.
Some came from as far away as California and Germany on Sunday to take part in a Kansas City radio station's effort to break a Guinness world record for the most people playing the same song simultaneously. The record had been 1,323 people playing the same song in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1994. Link

Any resemblence between Kenny and the Unilever Brand Key are purely coincidental.
A friend reminded me this weekend me of a clip from South Park in which the underpant gnomes are stealing all the underpants from the town. This is stage one in a three stage plan in which the third stage is to make a huge amount of profit. The problem is that there is no stage two.
How redolent of the vast majority of advertising campaigns.

Irritate The Neighbors
Re-paint their house for them. . . in plaid.
Run around naked in their front yard singing "Born Free"
Throw waterbombs at their house, water bombs filled with INK!!
Bake them an apple pie and send it to them, without telling them the 2 secret ingredients inside - spicy seasonings and laxatives
Borrow a cup of milk 3 times a day
Buy 6 blocks of bottle rockets and fire them off.....on Christmas Eve...at 12:00
Call them and ask them if their refrigerator is running every night @8:13p.m.
Dress in drag and do a hula on their front lawn
Dye the fur on all of their pets lime green
Have teenage boys with loud car stereos drive by their house at 2 AM.
Have your rock & roll band practice at night
Hotwire their bird bath.
Install a heliport in the backyard
Invite your friends over to howl at the full moon.

~Phillis Levin~
Under a cherry tree I found a robin’s egg,broken, but not shattered.
I had been thinking of you,and was kneeling in the grass among fallen blossoms
when I saw it: a blue scrap,a delicate toy, as light as confetti
It didn’t seem real,but nature will do such things from time to time.
I looked inside:it was glistening, hollow,a perfect shell
except for the missing crown,which made it possible to look inside.
What had been there is gone now and lives in my heart
where, periodically,it opens up its wings,tearing me apart.

What's wrong with corn, or carrots?
Or ask our children for a little "Cucumbersand Quiet!"?
Why is it, when we're troubled, we never pray for "Inner Apricots"?
How did this incredible obsession with vegetables, ever begin?
It might just be, however: that if everybody gardened;

I would like to do something a little different. I want people to know what the reason was for the topics I pick or what was running through my mind at the time.This cartoon made me smile because it reminded me of those people you see sometimes with the cut out jeans that show their hiney's.I also like the way his hiney is shaped like a perfect heart.
