A blind man vists the state of Texas

There once was a blind man who decided to visit Texas. When he arrived on the plane, he felt the seats and said, "Wow, these seats are big!" The person next to him answered, "Everything is big in Texas."

When he finally arrived in Texas, he decided to visit a bar. Upon arriving in the bar, he ordered a beer and got a mug placed between his hands. He exclaimed, "Wow these mugs are big!" The bartender replied, "Everything is big in Texas."

After a couple of beers, the blind man asked the bartender where the bathroom was located. The bartender replied, "Second door to the right." The blind man headed for the bathroom, but accidentally tripped over and skipped the second door. Instead, he entered the third door, which lead to the swimming pool and fell into the pool by accident.

Scared to death, the blind man started shouting, "Don't flush, don't flush!"

Man zaps wife's grandma after dispute

Now here's a guy you don't want to bring home to mom and dad, most definitely not grandma. Do you think that maybe this guy could have been abusing his kid? Sounds like a bit of an anger management case. What a dirtball.

NORTH BONNEVILLE, Wash. - A man who said he used a stun gun on his wife's 79-year-old grandmother was arrested for investigation of domestic assault.

Aaron de Bruyn, 26, was cited with fourth-degree domestic violence assault Wednesday and released from the Skamania County jail Thursday, Police Chief Calvin Owens said. The grandmother wasn't injured.

De Bruyn said he was arguing with Rosemary Garlock, who accused him of abusing his 7-month-old son when he swatted the boy's diapered bottom to stop him from grabbing electrical wires.

Just another great marketing plan by the church. I'll bet you can't wait to get to this thing and see all the anti-porn soccer moms gorging themselves with pancakes. MAybe you will get lucky and they will show some clips. They have to use as much shock value as possible these days apparently to get the youth into a church.

Good old Happy Gilmore. Watched that movie last night and came to realize that Adam Sandler makes the most low budget movies I have ever seen. Sure they are funny, but his older flicks are just plain terrible. I guess it is just part of the cahrm.

Madden on the Playstation 2 Sucks

I don't know if my Slim PS2 is on its last leg or what, but this game has the most annoying lag in it of any game I have ever seen. EVERY play the game stops to load some stupid little cutscene that annoys me to no end.They always have a little lag, but this one is beyond ridiculous. Normally you know how you can skip through all the little between play crap by pressing the X button? I suppose you can on this, but it still has the freeze and takes probably 10 seconds to get to the play call screen. Overall the game is great, but really it is just way too much for the PS2 now. I guess I have to shell out for a PS3 or a 360 soon. Wanted to wait until MArch when the PS3 actually has more than 2 games, but I may have to just get a 360 now. Gears of War kicks some serious ass anyways so I might as well.

Catholic Business News

During a Papal audience, a business man approached the Pope and made this offer: Change the last line of the Lord's prayer from "give us this day our daily bread" to "give us this day our daily chicken." and KFC will donate 10 million dollars to Catholic charities. The Pope declined. 2 weeks later the man approached the Pope again. This time with a 50 million dollar offer. Again the Pope declined. A month later the man offers 100 million, this time the Pope accepts. At a meeting of the Cardinals, The Pope announces his decision in the good news/bad news format. The good news is... that we have 100 million dollars for charities. The bad news is that we lost the Wonder Bread account!

So Many Kids

At her wake, the priest looks tenderly at Maria as she lies in her coffin, looks up to the heavens, and says, "At last...they're finally together." A man standing next to him asks, "Excuse me, Father, but do you mean her and her FIRST husband, or her and her SECOND husband?"

"No," the priest says politely, "I mean her LEGS."

5-year-old boy takes gun to Kan. school

So...mom said to get rid of the gun and this responsibility fell onto the child? I'm not getting it. Why did they even GIVE him the gun in the first place? I don't see any mention of the parents getting into trouble, but they should. The kid is 5 years old and has a gun that was given to him by his parents. Sounds like he is a hell of a good liar though at this age, or just honest.

SHAWNEE, Kan. (AP) - A five-year-old boy took an unloaded semiautomatic handgun to school and showed it off to at least one classmate, police said.

School officials in this Kansas City suburb had not decided what disciplinary action would be taken against the kindergartner, but a federal law requires expulsion for students who bring a gun to school, said LeighAnne Neal, a spokeswoman for the Shawnee Mission School District.

"Are you sure it doesn't scream, yell, or swear?" asked the preacher.

"Oh absolutely. It's a religious parrot," the storekeeper assures him.

"Do you see those strings on his legs? When you pull the right one, he recites the lord's prayer, and when you pull on the left he recites the 23rd Psalm."

"Wonderful!" says the preacher, "but what happens if you pull both strings?"

"I fall off my perch, you stupid fool!" screeched the parrot.

Good Lord...lol Who are these people? Figures he's from Michigan. Way to represent, jackass. I guess an actual blow up doll wasn't good enough for this guy. He liked the thought of no holes?

PONTIAC, Mich. - A man who acknowledged a sexual fetish for female-shaped mannequins was sentenced Thursday to more than a year in prison after repeatedly breaking into storefront windows.

Colts finally beat the Pats!

Brady threw an interception to end it and Payton Manning is finally going to the Super Bowl.

Amazing game.

Colts score a TD!

Take the lead with an Addai scramble.

Colts 38
Pats 34

1 minute to go. Pats have 2 time outs. Oh...and they have Tom Brady.

2 Minute Warning

Manning just hit a 32 yard pass to Alexander and a nice toss to Wayne. Wayne NEARLY fumbled the ball, but got it back.

Pats get hit with a hitting the QB in the helmet penalty and have the ball with in striking distance of the winning TD.

Colts make a stop!

Colts are going to get the ball back with just under 2:30 left. Came up big on 3rd down.

1 time out left.

Pats: 34 Colts 31.

Colts cannot answer!

Have to punt with 3 straight incompletions. PAts with the ball at their own 40 with a 3 point lead.

3:22 left.

Pats get good field position and get another FG

After a big return the PAts were unable to get anything done except Tom "Montana" Brady made one play to get them into FG position and the Pats regain the lead.

Pats 34 Colts 31.

4 minutes left!

Colts get a HUGE play, but get FG

Manning down the middle to Dallas Clark for a BUNCH of yards. Then they tried to start running the ball like morons and end up with a Vinateri FG. Anyone wondering if it comes down to him? Pats let him go and the Colts sign him. Karma.

Tied up again 31-31!

Pats get jobbed in the end zone

Obvious pass interference call went uncalled. Reche Caldwell the play before was so open that I don't think anyone in the stadium could have caught him. Uncovered before the snap he DROPPED the ball AGAIN. His 2nd today. First one he dropped in the endzone for a TD catch.

Pats end up with a FG.

Pats 31 Colts 28.

7:42 left.

Marketing Your Blog

When i create a blog there are a few things that I do right away to make sure that I am able to get my site out there. First and foremost I submit the domain into search engines. Google first, then Yahoo, and MSN. The others out there really aren't that big a deal, but Google is key. Then I begin a process of getting links to my site by trading with other bloggers. Now I don't do this by putting links on my sidebar, or have those who trade with me do the same. I create a post like this to pimp their blog. It gives them a quality link instead of something that won't get searched through Google on the side bar.

For more information on this please visit John Tan's Affiliate Marketing Blog for more in depth discussions about this topic.

Pats on the move

Colts made a stop, but were unable to captilize on their last possession. Pats are back in the red zone ready to score again and take the lead back.

9 minutes to go.

Colts get a lucky bounce TD

Just like the Pats did earlier in the game on an offensive fumle. The Colts fumbled inside the one and ended up getting the TD with a recovery by Saturday. This game is getting good. Manning shredded the Pats D on that drive too. This gmae is becoming a regular shoot out.

28-28! 4th Quarter, 13 minutes left!

Dating

Lovers Planet unites a diverse community of single Russian women, seeking men for marriage and romance.

Have you ever considered this? I’ve never thought about it before and really have always considered the “mail order bride” to be nothing more than a punch line to a joke. Funny thing is that I actually know someone who has done this and has been married for 8 years now. They are completely happy and tell me that their wife is probably the most loving person they ever met. I’m not really sure I would ever do something like this, but you never know. He seems to be very happy so I guess it does work and is pretty easy to do.

Pats back on top

Call you don't see too often. Gaffney catching a ball on the endline and getting pushed out before he got both feet down. Refs said he would have come down in bounds so they gave them the TD. Indy challenged and the play stood.

Pats 28 Colts 21

Less than a minute left in the 4th quarter.

Colts Tie it Up!

So much for the blowout. Looks like the Pats are going to take the lead back in a few seconds though after that long return.

21-21!

Here's to a big finish!

Mortgage Calculators

When looking for good Mortgage Rates it is always a good idea to look at a mortgage calculator to determine what kind of payment you are going to be looking at. Of course there is always more to a mortgage than just the cost of the home and the interest. You have to think about the insurance, fees, and what you will have to pay in property taxes. Take a look at the Mortgage Calculators at PErsonalHomeLoanMortgages.com for more info.

The Tie Makes the Look

When it comes to putting together a great wardrobe many people don’t think about the accessories. As a man I really don’t have the mindset of putting together a great “outfit” and really never looked into it. I do know from being a salesman that you need to make a great first impression, and in this world the way you dress is a big part of that.

The business of providing great accessories may not be done any better than by Belisi Fashions. Their goal is to provide great style with quality accessories as well as give back to the community. Specializing in amazing ties, they have also gotten into scarves and handbags as well.

Drink Until She Looks Good (joke)

A businessman enters a tavern, sits down at the bar, and orders a double martini on the rocks. After he finishes the drink, he peeks inside his shirt pocket, then orders the bartender to prepare another double martini. After he finishes that it, he again peeks inside his shirt pocket and orders the bartender to bring another double martini. The bartender says, "Look, buddy, I'll bring ya' martinis all night long - but you gotta tell me why you look inside your shirt pocket before you order a refill." The customer replies, "I'm peeking at a photo of my wife. When she starts to look good, I know it's time to go home."

Can Payton Manning Pull off a Comeback?

Man...I was looking at this being one of the all-time great playoff games coming in, but so far the Patriots are just doing everything right and making the Colts look like the Detroit Lions with all the plays they are making. Samuels has just been out of his mind in the defensive backfield at this point. MAde some HUGE pass deflections and picked Manning off just a few minutes ago and returned it for a TD to give the Pats a 31-3 lead.

Colts got inside the Red Zone here right before the half, but couldn't get into the end zone. Going into the half right now the Colts are trailing 21-6 and have a lot of work to do. Hopefully this 2nd half gets a bit more exciting.

Investing in Precious Metals

Through Monex Deposit Company (MDC) you can purchase silver, gold or other precious metals and coins for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository. One of the most secure investments, precious medals provide you with the diversification you may need in your investment portfolios.

World demand for silver now exceeds annual production, and has every year since 1990. Above ground stockpiles of silver bullion are low, shrinking rapidly and approaching zero. With demand so high you must think that the value has to be increasing and it is. Take a look at what MDC offers and see if this is the kind of investment you are going to need.

Looks like the same old Colts/Pats

Pats are just toying with the Colts right now in the 2nd quarter. Samuals has been unreal at defensive back so far today. He's got a couple great pass deflections and just picked off Payton for a TD to give the Pats an early 21-3 lead. Doesn't matter wher the Colts play the Pats in the playoffs. They can't win. Manning is never going to the Super Bowl with this team around. This Super Bowl is going to suck with the Bears and Pats. Should be a boring game and likely will end in some sort of blowout.

Bears Demolish the Saints

Missed the first half of this game, but was pretty blown away when I tuned in and saw that the Bears were just punding the Saints. I expected the Saints to win actually like most, but I guess the Bears finally decided to show up today and earn a trip to the Super Bowl. Get ready to hear the "Super Bowl Shuffle" endlessly again for the next couple of weeks.

The real game is on now. Pats vs. Colts. Should be one of the better playoff games in the last few years. I still think the PAts have the Colt's number though and will get back the the Super Bowl yet again.
