Vicki, correct me if I am wrong, but I was told that Congressman Howard Coble will also be there on Saturday to meet and greet voters!
Oh, you got me there, Jim! I learned that at the March Town Council, when Powell Shelton was talking about his job being to make sure Howard didn't step in any holes!!

sounds like Imus met with a sad fate today. CBS cancelling his radio show was a pretty strong move.
Bet he's wishing he'd used three nicer words, like "professional young ladies", or "talented female athletes", than the three he used.

So, what is the weather supposed to be like on Saturday? I want to take the kiddies out for the day!! ♥♥♥

GESTALT, love that avatar!!! ♥♥♥
You're right about Imus..... I think he's been pushing the envelope for a long time now. Maybe what happened to him will send a message to others that we all need to think before we just blurt out what we're thinking.... Sometimes people assume that everyone agrees with them, when in fact that isn't so..... (And you know what they say about ASSUME .... what it makes out of U and Me!)

I certainly don't think we've seen the end of Imus. Well, I certainly hope we haven't seen the end of Imus. I enjoyed listening to him occasionally... Even though he was cantankerous, and mean spirited, I think folks who went on his show knew it was for entertainment purposes and took it with a grain of salt.
I don't approve of what he said, AT ALL, but I do hate to see his entire career jeopardized because of one statement.... A statement containing words that are apparently accepted and are spoken so freely and frequently throughout the hip hop/rap community.
Where are Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson when the likes of Kanye West and Eminem are saying the same kinds of things???
Anyway, I think that somebody will be bold enough to pick up his show even if it's satellite radio and I think that after the furor dies down, he's gonna be a hot commodity....

| Imus got fired for making a crude comment, BUT Tolly Carr still has his job at WXII for killing someone and injuring a co-worker in a drunk driving accident, go figure...

I found this today in the May 2007 edition of Reader's Digest. Mary Roach's "My Planet" column. (I cut and pasted it, and sometimes funny things happen when you cut and past onto the forum so forgive me if it's abnormally huge or something )
Best CHEAP Fun!
Photo booths. While you wait for your strip to be developed, reach up and feel around the top of the booth. People often toss their embarrassing outtakes up there.
Bubble wrap.
Your cat. Blow into his face. Stick your finger in his mouth as he yawns. Put him on a leash and try to take him for a walk.
The sight of a dog wearing one of those medical lampshades on its head. For immediate gratification, do a Google image search for "Elizabethan collar," which is what veterinarians call it.
Wave at people while you drive.
Helium balloons.
The weekly police roundup in any small-town newspaper. I am still laughing over the report of a man seen running naked down a neighborhood street. A policeman who arrived to investigate noticed a note on a car windshield that read "Gone to get parts." The officer misread this as "Gone to get pants" and, satisfied that this explained the man's nudity, returned to his beat.
Bumper cars.
The commuter ferry on a blustery day. My brother comes to visit me once a year, and if the weather's dramatic, we always head for the ferry dock. Go on the weekend and have the ship to yourself.
Order a dish off the Chinese-language side of the menu.
Attempt to sneak a bottle of water onto the plane.
Come visit me in jail after someone from Homeland Security reads the above.
Any toenail polish color besides red.
Bubblegum
Type "yink" into your spell checker and read the suggestions out loud.
Those 25-cent horsy rides outside the Wal-Mart.
Root for the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.
Request a phony page on the White Courtesy Telephone. I once heard (in a hospital) "Al Bumin, dial operator. Al Bumin, operator please." Someone in my dorm in London once paged "Mahatma Coat."
Did you know there's a brand of dishwashing detergent in Iran called Barf? Or that Japan sells a sports drink called Pocari Sweat?
Supermarkets in foreign countries.
Launch a message in a bottle with your e-mail address. For maximum exoticism of response, remember to do it when the tide is going out, not coming in.
Ok... this is the one that got me! The whole reason I'm posting this article It might just be the funniest thing I've ever read:
Lie down in a cow pasture. If the herd is far off, yell to get their attention, then immediately drop down and lie flat. The entire herd will come galloping over and form a tight circle around you, staring down at you with intense bovine curiosity. I have tried this three times on two different continents. It's marvelously surreal.
Late night infomercials.
Armpit f*rts. Here's a variation that will make you feel less childish (but fools no one). It works best in humid weather. Lie on a wood floor, pull up your shirt and press your slightly damp lower back into the floor as firmly as you can. Then pull away quickly. This is also a good lower-back strengthening exercise, but who cares.
I am currently looking for a cow pasture to lie down in. Jane, do you have cows? "Bovine curiosity" That just kills me!

CLASSIC, CRACKAH!!!! CLASSIC!!!♥♥♥
Okay, I'm in for a simultaneous gathering to test out this "bovine curiosity" theory!!!
I've actually done the cat things.... but I've also done them to humans. (Don't yawn around me without covering your mouth! Just like to demonstrate that it could've been a bug!! )
My oldest still likes to wave at people in other cars!!
Thanks for the chuckles!! I'll be indisposed for a while .... ummmm .... doing research, yeah, that's it..... .... let's see ...... "yink"......

Morning!!!!
Still laughin' over the bovine curiousity thing! And I already typed "yink" into dictionary.com to see what their suggestions were. Lots of interesting words that I didn't know were words!
Macca, I'd be careful stickin' my finger in Pappy or mike's mouths.... they might mistake it for a piece of bacon!!!
Where's Jane with the moring "you can hear the grass growing" report?? Maybe she's out layin' in the cow pasture????

Maybe we should all jump in our cars and ride around to see if we see cows standing in a circle somewhere!!! She might need our help!!!

paraskevidekatriaphobia
A morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th. Therapist Dr. Donald Dossey, whose specialty is treating people with irrational fears, coined the term. He claims that when you can pronounce the word you are cured.
If you base your belief on media attention, superstition about Friday the 13th might be the number one superstition in America today. It appears, however, that only about 10% of us believe that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day (Zusne and Jones 1989, p. 244, put the number at 7%; Vyse 2000, p. 18, cites a 1990 Gallup poll that put the number at 9%, and a 2000 survey by American Demographics put it at 13%).
Is Friday the 13th a particularly unlucky day? It could be...if you believe it is. Some prophecies are self-fulfilling.
Maybe this is why Jane isn't here!!

Well.... I didn't even know that it was Friday the 13th until I read that post Macca.... Well, I knew it was Friday and I knew it was the 13th, but I didn't make the connection! duh.
You know something else? There used to be a lot more cows out here than there are now. I'm having a little more difficulty than I anticipated when it comes to finding a pasture to lay down in.
