Oh hey, got the company to buy a nifty little TDS and a new little pH meter. Now I don't have to lug my specimens all back to the lab to check em out. Oh yeah, and a nifty little deionizer cartridge that is working like a champ.
Cool huh. Sorta like Christmas.

I am enjoying the news (unbiased with NOTHING to hide) at www.nakednews.com. Note: this is NOT for minors or men with a heart condition. It IS a legitimate news "broad"cast.

Hmm, I think I will try this link at home. I watch the news about twice a week because I have to. I really don't like the new any more, they try to over glorify things to increase ratings. Just dumb if you ask me.

So it will be Patriots and Eagles. I don't know about anyone else, but I was sort of disappointed in the playoffs this year. It just seemed that there were no real slugfests where both teams played like there was no tomorrow. It seemed to me that the Steelers just sort of showed up and while they played Ok, that was all it was. There was no desperation to throw it all in to win. I think that was best exemplified by the Pittsburgh's fourth quarter field goal, I mean after all, if you are losing what difference does it make to lose by three points less. I think they should have really put in the effort and made a final attempt at a touchdown. That would have gotten them within seven points of tying with the Patriots and at that point there was still plenty of time left in the game.
Well, there you have it, not monday morning, but monday afternoon.
Well, I am totally amazed by the number of sports fans here, nonethless I will continue although I think I may be the only one reading this thread anymore.
First of all, Carnival starts tomorrow so that makes this Super Bowl sort of special, I don't know why but surely it must. Anyway, although I would like to see the Eagles wipe up the stadium with the Patriots, I just don't think that will happen. I hope the Eagles will win, but I won't be holding my breath.
Therefore, I predict the Patriots will win 36, Eagles 24. That will wrap up the year pretty well for Boston, sorry to say, but hey, it's only a game right?
Now that I have made my commitment, I feel better, odd isn't it? In that case, I am ready to see a Patriot victory.
My only complaint with the Super Bowl is that didn't spend enough time with the cheerleaders! They're athletes, too, right?
I did see a few honeys on both sidelines !
BTW, welcome back Todd!
I missed seeing Marvin the Martian on these boards!

We've missed your peculiar viewpoint on things. Besides, what fun is it without a socknoggle hanging around. Just to celebrate I have dug up a "memory" from the past.
It was a lot of work, but I went way back in the archives and dug up this little snippet from the old socknoggle adventure series. Here it is:
<<
We were sitting, snuggling a little on the couch watching the last of the late night news. Myra had just taken a bath a little earlier with some kind of special smelly oil that made me want to climb inside her pajamas with her. This time was always special and this night seemed even calmer and more special then normal.
I was just getting ready to turn off the telly when we heard the odd 'mewling' sound outside the door. I glanced at Myra, then went to the door and opened it to see what was there. Just outside, standing about five inches tall and about the same length, it's double tail swishing slowly side to side stood an odd looking creature.
Myra moved up behind me and asked softly, "What is it Dirk?"
"It looks like one of those socknoggles Myra."
"I thought they were supposed to be dangerous." she said.
"Thats what they say, if anyone sees one they are to notify the authorities at once." I responded. "Why don't you go give the sherrif a call, I'll just keep an eye on him."
No one knew much about these strange creatures, they had just appeared a few weeks earlier. No one knew where they came from or anything and most thought seemed to indicate they were some sort of extraterrestrial life form. As I watched the little creature I was overcome with how cute it looked. I was trying to get a good look into it's little face when I sort of dropped to one knee and steadied myself with one hand on the ground. In less then a second the little creature had sprang into action and jumped for my hand. I couldn't get it back fast enough and it's razor sharp teeth closed over my right forefinger. I screamed for Myra, and stumbled back into the house. The little bugger hung on and I could hear the sound of his teeth grate on the bone in my finger. The pain was intense and blood was everywhere.
Myra ran back into the living room and her eyes were wide and frightened as she took in the situation. Then suddenly the front of the house was bathed in an orange glow and despite everything I had to glance out to see what was going on.
Fully twenty feet tall, the adult socknoggle was visible, backlighted by the flames coming from my new pick up truck which was now burning brightly in the driveway. No one had ever mentioned that they grew that tall and breathed fire. It looked like mama socknoggle had come for junior. I was beginning to get worried.
| The source tells WWN that the drowned corpses of two space alien astronauts were found in the saucer-shaped craft's cockpit. Even more incredible, a human abductee -- a Missoula, Mont., woman missing since October 31 -- was found strapped to an examination table in a water-tight chamber. The source says she was naked, babbling incoherently and was possibly a guinea pig for ghoulish experiments |
WHOA Wait a minute, I didn't click over to the home page until after I had seen that article, this weeks edition is particularily good. Check out these headlines:
BABE IS SLEEPING HER WAY ACROSS AMERICA -- TO BOOST NATIONAL UNITY
Bodacious blonde bombshell Bekki Venderson has embarked on a 2,824-mile hike across the United States -- vowing to have sex in homes and businesses she encounters along the way!
.........
The idealistic hottie came up with the idea after reading about a nun who juggled her way across America to prove her faith.
"I didn't have the skill to do that," says Bekki. "I racked my brain for something I had the talent to do -- and God gave me the answer."
