John: Daryl, Wal-Mart is famous for it's abuse of employees. They're in constant hot water with the NLRB, and their complete lack of organization at the front door was directly responsible for the employee's death. I hope they get their sock sued off.
Daryl: I am the first person to complain about "frivolous" lawsuits, but this is why I oppose mandatory limits on them. I know that it is next to impossible to charge those responsible for the trampling, but if Wal-Mart is forced to fork over several hundred million, that's right, I said several HUNDRED; that would still not be enough. The life of an innocent human being is worth more than any corporation, or amount of jobs it costs. I mean every word that I say!
John: Thanks Mace.
M.E. of Mestew: Happy birthday, John!
John: Nope......I believe the record for the fastest serve belongs to one of the current players.
Daryl: I must have ran out of time, charcters, or space. This thing trucated my message. What I wanted say is, does Gonzales still have the record for the fastest serve ever made?
Daryl: I like the Kretschmer ad. I even have a jar in the fridge. It's been there about two years. It would have been better if the Mick had not chased a bowl of it down with a few beers. He would have had a longer career. You know that I am a Tiger fan, but Mantle is STILL the greatest combination of speed and power in a baseball uniform, that I have ever seen. You only get that kind of talent once in a generation. I am not well versed about tennis, but does Gonzales still have the record fo
John: Sometimes it's me, sometimes it's the server. I do copy and paste some photos, so those may not come thru. I'll work on it.
Baby Cakes: For some reason I can't see the pictures on here anymore. Is it a problem on your end or is big brother blocking them? All I get is red x where the picture should be. Is anyone else reporting that problem BT?
Gabe: Keep up the good work John. We are proud of you!
Daryl: Good job John, but you better treat your prisoner well. You don't want to be accused of creating another Gitmo. Perhaps you could spread some pita bread crumbs in front of the cage, and capture Bin Laden. Just a thought.
John: Nope.....just too much other stuff happening. I was pretty beat. Maybe next time I'll pace myself.
Daryl: Hey John, what happened? Di you give the waitress a hard time, and she spit chewing tobacco juice on you guys? Missed you at last week's get together.

A MARATHON THAT WORKS

    So Patty and I are watching the women's Olympic marathon on tv tonight, and I can't help but notice that most of them don't appear to be having a good time. Nobody's smiling, nobody's looking at the scenery (Hey! It's China!), nobody's doing anything but putting down one foot in front of the other. Pretty damned boring, right?

   I've got a couple of ideas that probably would spice things up a bit, and give the runners and the folks at home watching a little pick me up during this long, grueling race.

   Idea #1: Instead of cups of water at various points, how about a cup of beer? After about ten of those stations, eeeevryone's having a good time.

  Idea #2: Give 'em all a camera. Let them at least take a few snapshots of the incredible architecture they're missing. Great keepsakes and the memories are right there in front of them. They can show all their friends and relatives. Sort of a Marathon Memory album.

 Idea #3: In between the beer stations, set up tables with cheesesteak sandwiches. Who doesn't appreciate a good hoagie with a glass of beer?

 Idea #4: Port-a-Johns. C'mon who can hold it for 25 miles? Let's get real.

 Idea #5: Along with the beer and cheesesteak stations, add one for cigarettes. Nothing like a great smoke after a meal.

 Idea #6: Issue all runners with a barf bag. Beer, cigarettes, cheesesteak sandwiches on a 25 mile run......something's gotta give.

 Idea #7: At the halfway point, make 'em all run backwards.

 Idea #8: Fire hoses at the entrance to the stadium. Nobody wants to see the winner staggering in with barf all over her.

 Idea #9: Ankle weights. Right around the 3/4 mark, make them all strap on weights. The true test of strength and endurance is being able to perservere with an additional burden. I get misty just thinking about it.

 Idea #10: Blindfolds. 'Nuff said.
