I posted lots of stuff today (scroll down) but blogging will now be light due to travel - in the meantime my Li’l Bro Thom sent this along and I thought I’d share it:
TEN THINGS TO PONDER FOR 2007
10. Life is sexually transmitted.
9. Good health is merely the slowest rate at which one can die
8. Men have two emotions: Horny and Hungry. If he’s not chasing you, make him a sandwich. (Is that true?)
7. Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks.
6. Some people are like a slinky - not really good for much, but you can’t help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.
5. Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital dying of nothing.
4. All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
3. Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars,and a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents?
2. In the 60’s, people took LSD to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
1. We know exactly where one cow with mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America, but we haven’t a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located.
Catch you on the flip side. Please remember that comments are moderated, so if your comment doesn’t appear right away it’s because I haven’t gotten to it. Also, some comments get lodged in my spam filter, so if I can’t get internet access, it might well take even longer for me to release your remarks.

Is that true?
.
Of course it is, although I really wouldn’t call either one an “emotion.” It is true that the appetite/drive does slow down when you get older, so that you are thinking about sex only half as much as when you were a kid, but that’s really not saying much because when you were a kid, you thought about it every five minutes, and now you only think about it every ten minutes! One of the few things to stop a guy from thinking about it is food when he’s hungry. Like now. I think I’ll go get something to eat.

Variation on #7: Give a man a match and he’ll be warm for a minute. Set a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.

With regard to health-related entries 9 and 5, Americans two and three generations ago weren’t nearly as obsessed with health-related matters as are we of today; the exceptions were called “hypochondriacs,” and tolerated solely as comic relief. I often ponder the two most obvious differences between them and us:
1. The lives they led were on the average far simpler and less stressful than ours;
2. They’re all dead.
Food for thought.

[...] This list lifted from The Anchoress. (Lifted sounds so much better than “stolen in its entirety,” which was the original title for this entry.) [...]

7. Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks.
Heh. So true — I just taught my mother about eBay (yes! late to the party), and she was on my computer the whole day.
Bon Voyage, Anchoress!
Cheers,
Victoria

Sorta Blogless Sunday Pinup
And a Happy Sunday to all! This one is by Baron Von Lind, with no help needed to be a patriotic pinup. Kinda fits the bill for this time of year, eh?
The Devils had a big win against the orange Islanders last night. Could have distilled the game down …

Re. #8: Definitely not true. Only problem is there way too many men who take the myth as an excuse to act like it’s true.

Half the people you know are below average. On which side do your friends think you fall? -cp
