WARNING!!!! This was submitted by a very pi$$ed person who used alot of foul language. don't read this unless you can take it.

I am absolutely furious!!!!!!!! As most of you know, my Dad died just over 11 months ago. In the time since he passed, my youngest brother has stolen thousands of dollars worth of items from my mother and either sold them, some items many times over; or, in the case of her van, let someone else drive it who then wrecked and totaled the vehicle.

Another Inconvenient Truth

Sat, 03 Mar 2007 18:11:22 -0600

Alternate title: "The Emperor Has No Sweater"

I heard a trucker ranting on the CB this week about former Vice President Al Gore's electric bill. When I started asking him about it, he said Gore's bill "was something like $20,000 a year." I started laughing and said bullshit. Nobody has a $20,000/year electric bill, right? Gore's fighting to reverse the effects of global warming, right? Turns out I owe that driver an apology. It was $29,268 for 2006.

Back home in Tennessee, safely ensconced in his suburban Nashville home, Vice President Al Gore is no doubt basking in the Oscar awarded to "An Inconvenient Truth," the documentary he inspired and in which he starred. But a local free-market think tank is trying to make that very home emblematic of what it deems Gore's environmental hypocrisy.

Armed with Gore's utility bills for the last two years, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research charged Monday that the gas and electric bills for the former vice president's 20-room home and pool house devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average of 10,656 kilowatt-hours.

HOW TO TELL IF YOU NEED TO PRAY AT WORK

Wed, 23 Aug 2006 09:24:11 -0500

Received via email. This is too funny!

* When a co-worker comes in a little too happy singing "good morning" to everyone and you think, "Somebody needs to slap the s#@! out of
her/him"...You need to pray at work.

* When someone comes in and announces, "office meeting in 5 minutes," and you think, "what the f*&% do they want now?"..... You need to pray at work.

* When your computer is mysteriously turned off and you want to say, "which one of you sons of b*&^%$# turned off my computer?"..... You need to pray at work.

National Truck Driver Appreciation Week

Sun, 20 Aug 2006 12:57:44 -0500

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- The American Trucking Associations (ATA) will once again roll out its “phone home” campaign to help America’s truck drivers celebrate National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (NTDAW) August 20-26. ATA and its state affiliates will mark the celebration by handing out free 60-minute telephone calling cards to truck drivers at local weigh stations, rest stops, and travel plazas all across the country.

See? Even industry insiders don't get it. Show me a trucker who doesn't have a cell phone and I'll show you a trucker who left his cell phone in the truck. What truckers don't have is home time, layover pay, detention pay, adequate legal protection ... I could go on and on, but others before me have, and nobody listened to them either.

Sneeze

Received via email from a cousin in the South

They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the already crowded auditorium. With rich maroon gowns flowing and the traditional caps, they looked almost as grown up as they felt.

Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and Moms freely brushed away tears.

This class would not pray during the commencements ----- not by choice but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it.

STATEMENT AT A FOOTBALL GAME

Received via email.

This is great!

This is a statement that was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School, Kingston, ennessee, by school Principal, Jody McLoud.

"It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country."

Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it "an alternate

Teacher Avoids Jail Time For Rape

Wed, 18 Jan 2006 20:54:39 -0600

BROCKTON — A former Middleboro [Massachusetts] High School teacher pleaded guilty Tuesday to raping one of his teenage students and possession of child pornography, but he won't spend any time in jail.

OldGuy to Earth: What the fuck?! Over.

Gregory Pathiakis, 26, of Brockton, who quit his teaching job after school officials questioned his off-duty contact with students, pleaded guilty in Brockton Superior Court to one count of rape of a child, enticement of a child under 16, five counts of possession of child pornography and one count of distribution of harmful material to a child.

Judge Suzanne V. Delvecchio gave Pathiakis a suspended, 21/2-year jail term, followed by five years probation — rejecting the prosecutor's plea for at least four years in state prison.

Hang on a second, I'm reloading.

Favorite things

Tue, 27 Dec 2005 23:27:23 -0600

To commemorate her 69th birthday, actress/vocalist Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP. One of the musical numbers she performed was "My Favorite Things" from the legendary movie "Sound Of Music."

However, the lyrics of the song were deliberately changed for the entertainment of her "blue hair" audience. Here are the lyrics she recited:
