I wanna rock with you

I think I’m still in shock that the King of Pop is gone.  I was working at my desk when I heard the news.  I didn’t want to believe it.  I was hoping against hope it wasn’t a fatal heart attack.  My hopes were finally put to rest when the reports that Michael was gone [...]

Buck-naked man on US Air flight forces detour

Gee, this event would have made my American Airlines dual flight cancellation drama the other week much more entertaining.

A passenger who stripped naked aboard a Los Angeles-bound US Airways jet, forcing its diversion to Albuquerque, will be arraigned Thursday and possibly be ordered to undergo a psychiatric examination, the FBI confirmed today.

Keith Anthony Wright, 50, a resident of New York, was being held in federal detention in New Mexico pending his appearance in court on charges of interference with a flight, said FBI spokesman Darrin Jones in Albuquerque.

"He removed his clothing during the flight and refused to put them back on," Jones said of the disruption aboard US Airways Flight 705 on Tuesday.

Mental Junk Drawer TWO....open topics

Here's a question I thought might be of interest.

What websites were you on before Pam's House Blend, and which  forums/blogs are you currently on?

I began in chatrooms on Gay.com, usually in the POZ (HIV/AIDS) room. I was on John Edwards' site before that the Kerry/Edwards' site, then that morphed to Common Grounds/Common Sense. I was on Huffington Post, and still post there. There was a bizarro site Volcanvo I was on for awhile, (I don't recommend it.)

If this questions doesn't generate interest just post things which interest you, that don't fit another thread....I'm Easy....not cheap but I'm easy.

The Top Ten Ways You Know You're A Christian Fundamentalist

(Top Ten Top Ten) 1 - You are a christian fundamentalist when you actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

Copyright prevents me from posting the other seven, but they are equally valid and funny.
