Tasha's surprise visit in the chatroom!
Today we had a very special guest in the chatroom! Tasha came in to surprise us all! WHOO!!
Dan and I were in there and we got to chat with Tasha for almost 20 min. It was a great time. We talked about her schooling That was the main topic. Seeing how she is adapting to being a College girl and to see if anyone recognized them from youtube and their other videos (she said the answer was yes).
She said she is taking alot of classes. And she is making new friends. (As if there was any doubt in that!). We both wished her great luck and hoped that she would have an excellent experience in school!
The President of the United States of America, in
the name of Congress, takes pride in presenting the Medal of Honor to
Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy, United States Navy, for conspicuous
gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life, above and beyond the
call of duty, as the leader of a special reconnaissance element with
Naval Special Warfare Task Unit Afghanistan on 27 and 28 June 2005.
While leading a mission to locate a high-level anti-coalition militia
leader, Lieutenant Murphy demonstrated extraordinary heroism in the
face of grave danger in the vicinity of Asadabad, Konar Province,
Afghanistan. On 28 June 2005, operating in an extremely rugged,
enemy-controlled area, Lieutenant Murphy's team was discovered by
anti-coalition militia sympathizers who revealed their position to
Taliban fighters. As a result, between 30 and 40 enemy fighters
besieged his four-member team.
Demonstrating exceptional resolve, Lieutenant Murphy valiantly led his
men in engaging the large enemy force. The ensuing fierce firefight
resulted in numerous enemy casualties, as well as the wounding of all
four members of his team. Ignoring his own wounds and demonstrating
exceptional composure, Lieutenant Murphy continued to lead and
encourage his men. When the primary communicator fell mortally wounded,
Lieutenant Murphy repeatedly attempted to call for assistance for his
beleaguered teammates. Realizing the impossibility of communicating in
the extreme terrain and in the face of almost certain death, he fought
his way into an open terrain to gain a better position to transmit a
call. This deliberate heroic act deprived him of cover, exposing him to
direct enemy fire. Finally achieving contact with his headquarters,
Lieutenant Murphy maintained his exposed position while he provided his
location and requested immediate support for his team.
In his final act of bravery, he continued to engage the enemy until he
was mortally wounded, gallantly giving his life for his country and for
the cause of freedom. By his selfless leadership, courageous actions,
and extraordinary devotion to duty, Lieutenant Murphy reflected great
credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United
States Naval Service.

I liked the video, good timing, good song , great dancing, I do know the feeling of "something doesn't feel right with what i just made" . I think art is not always about pleasing everyone.You have to take risks with creativity or nothing extraordinary will come out of it. (just my opinion).

It Was Twenty Years Ago Today
October 19, 1987.
Reagan was president. Gorby was making nice-nice. Buchanan was
frothing at the mouth. The Kos/Colbert Kidz had yet to be toilet
trained. Democrats on Capitol Hill were acting out like nutcases. Even
moreso than usual.
We also witnessed the greatest investment buying opportunity of a lifetime.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 22 percent.
In one day.
There was panic. Chaos. Liberals in the media reacted like two-year-olds on crank. Moreso than usual.
Within a few years, however, the Dow not only recouped its entire
"Black Monday" loss it had doubled in value. Soon thereafter it doubled
again. Then again.
Morals of the story:
Buy low.
Sell high.
Not vice-versa.
Money, Money, Money
Despite loud warnings to the contrary from liberal academia and the
media -- especially during 2004 {hint, hint} -- the falling dollar
hasn't resulted in a flight away from U.S. securities and skyrocketing
interest rates. Not at all. In point of fact:
Corporate foreign investment into the United States rose 74
percent to $175.4 billion in 2006, almost double the worldwide growth
rate of 38 percent. Britain received $139.5 billion and France received
$81.1 billion.
Furthermore the cheap greenback has invigorated our export sector,
kept a lid on our trade shortfall, and helped continue net gains in GDP.
Morals of the story:
- Global economics is not a zero-sum game.
- Liberal academia's opinions are as useful as decorum and etiquette at a vomit party.
- The liberal media is as prescient about finance as Anne Boleyn was about her relationships.
Original thread here, about a dentist who used a somewhat implausible explanation for massaging his patients' breasts.
It says 'Top Ten,' but there's more than ten and they're listed whimsically, roughly in order of ascending filth.
Side note: I said the words "uterus can go under crab rangoon" out loud
to myself while arranging the post. That's happened many times since I
became a co-blogger here, but this is the first time it actually meant something.
Top Ten Signs Your Doctor Might Be Sexually Abusing You
* In his Dental School graduation photos, his face has been 'swirled'.
* The dental chair has a quarter slot for vibrate.
* You notice that there are handcuffs on the instrument tray.
* You tell him you've never heard of "Tantric Dentistry".
* The scheduling clerk gives you that 'knowing wink'.
* You wake up and see that little drool vacuum in his pants.
* He tells you he can determine the onset of gum disease by testing your nipple sensitivity [edited slightly for format].
* The gown provided to you to wear is actually a vintage 1970's Wonder Woman outfit with the crotch cut out.
* All of your dental x-rays seem to include a pelvic bone.
* His business card lists him as an "Eye, Ear, Nose, Throat and Poontang" specialist.
* All of the hygienists are asian and dressed in leather.
* After each appointment, your nipples are 'minty fresh'.
* After a cleaning your mouth tastes like crab rangoon.
* He prefers to do your dental surgery by going in through the uterus.
* There are three anal probes, four ball gags and one cock ring in his autoclave.
* After whitening your teeth he notes you are also in serious need of an anal bleaching. The hygienist nods in agreement.
* Instead of cleaning your teeth he just spends forty-five minutes trying to foot-fuck you.
* You wake up from the anesthesia and all you see are testicles.
* He has a suspiciously well thought out argument prepared regarding
how taking a dump on your chest is implicit in the Hippocratic Oath.
Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to all for being so danged funny.
No More Rat Pack
Today the last surviving member of the Rat Pack died. Joey Bishop probably the least well known but one of the funniest members of the group...passed away. Man, what a sad sad day!
Yahoo has a very good obit. I would write more about it but I am out the door. Guess I will have to open a bottle of wine and watch Oceans 11 (1960) in tribute to a great man and great entertainment!
Tasha, Happy Birthday!
