A Response to CeeLo Green from the Ladies
Ceelo Green may have an under-the-radar hit song, but Whitney Avalon reminds us that there are two sides to every story.

Well I've survived my first week of actual work.
I've also learned one new upside to working at a start up, I don't need to worry about a gym membership anymore! There was not a signle day this week that we didn't take down, or set up our "computer lab". (About a 9 machines on four folding tables)

Which Lizard was it that coined the phrase "the Frank I was dealt"? Anyway, this is the Frank I was dealt:

Auto thieves are busy in Detroit...
Jesse Jackson's car stolen in Detroit
The Rev. Jesse Jackson found out just how rough things are in Detroit.
Several Detroit media outlets reported thieves stole Jackson’s ride — a 2009 Cadillac Escalade — from a parking lot near the city’s Doubletree Hotel.
The SUV was later recovered, but it was found without its rims and one of its windows had been broken, according to Detroit’s WXYZ-TV.
Jackson was in Detroit for a march and rally called “Rebuild America: Jobs, Justice and Peace.”
Just days after Jackson’s SUV was stolen, one of Detroit Mayor Dave Bing’s vehicles also went missing. The GMC Yukon Denali was later found resting on bricks, also missing its rims.

Not that I approve of this kind of criminal activity (I absolutely do not), but it seems like a total waste of time and effort to steal a car and only take the rims.

Those rims are worth a lot of money. Especially if Jackson's Escalade had spinners.

Two monks were returning to the monastery in the evening. It had rained and there were puddles of water on the road sides. At one place a beautiful young woman was standing unable to walk accross because of a puddle of water. The elder of the two monks went up to a her lifted her in his alms and left her on the other side of the road, and continued his way to the monastery.
In the evening the younger monk came to the elder monk and said, "Sir, as monks, we cannot touch a woman ?"
The elder monk answered "yes, brother".
Then the younger monk asks again, " but then Sir, how is that you lifted that woman on the roadside ?"
The elder monk smiled at him and told him " I left her on the other side of the road, but you are still carrying her "

re: #17 NJDhockeyfan
True, but I'm sure there are plenty of other parts on/in an '09 Escalade worth just as much.
I wish the sonsabitches that stole the only car I ever loved only took the fucking rims.

Yes I'm still bitter.

Payne: The irony of Jesse Jackson's stripped SUV
Add Jesse Jackson’s ride to prominent vehicles being stripped in Detroit.Following the embarrassing news that Mayor Dave Bing’s GMC Yukon was hijacked by criminals this week, Detroit’s Channel 7 reports that the Reverend’s Caddy Escalade SUV was stolen and stripped of its wheels while he was in town last weekend with the UAW’s militant President Bob King leading the “Jobs, Justice, and Peace” march promoting government-funded green jobs.
Read that again: Jackson’s Caddy SUV was stripped while he was in town promoting green jobs.
He road his massive SUV to Detroit to promote green jobs...LOL!

Don't knock it too soon. It depends on how many people he packs into the thing. I read once that a 747 gets about 150 feet to the gallon, which is pretty impressive when you consider how many people and how much baggage it carries.

My wife, who is a home care nurse, was at the home today of an elderly man. Living there was his wife, son, daughter, son-in-law, and a grandchild. My wife said they are from the Middle East but she didn't know which country. The wife was making flat bread while she was there. She rolled it, cooked it on cookie sheets, and threw them in a pile. They gave my wife a bag full. It tastes awesome! I never had that before. That's some really tasty stuff.
Question: What can I eat it with?

Where's my envelope? OK, call it 35 gallons/mile. Lets put about 250 passengers on board. 35/250 is about 1/7ish. That's about 1 gallon per 7 passenger miles, which is better than I would expect for something that has to haul its ass 6 miles up and go almost 600 mph.

Pile lamb stew or chopped up brisket on it; or your favorite chinese takeout that you'd usually spread over rice. Omelets are good
Or just heat it up, add some melted butter and salt. Or cinnamon.

Punk’d, Iraqi-Style, at a Checkpoint
BAGHDAD — An Iraqi reality television program broadcast during Ramadan has been planting fake bombs in celebrities’ cars, having an Iraqi army checkpoint find them and terrifying the celebrities into thinking that they are headed for maximum security prison.
The show “Put Him in [Camp] Bucca” has drawn numerous protests but has stayed on air throughout the fasting month, broadcasting its “stings” on well-known Iraqi personalities.
All of them were ensnared by being invited to the headquarters of the private television station Al Baghdadia to be interviewed, but en route to the station a fake bomb would be planted in their car while they were being searched by Iraqi soldiers, who were in on the deception.
The unwitting celebrities are then secretly filmed, Candid-Camera-style, as they reacted with shock, disbelief and anger as fake checkpoint guards shout abuse at them: “Why do you want to blow us up?” “You are a terrorist.” “How much did they pay you to do it? You will be executed.”
The celebrities protest that they know nothing about the supposed bomb, that they are innocent and honorable Iraqi citizens, only to be told, “We have caught you red-handed, with the bomb in your car.”
How much of it is staged with the knowledge of the actors is unclear from the footage, which has been broadcast daily this month, with excerpts, reactions and comments on the channel’s Web site.

Cut the bottoms off of several bulbs of garlic. Brush garlic with oil. Roast the garlic in the over at 375 for about 10 minutes. Squeeze the garlic out of the skins, mash, and spread on the bread. Add mayo or hot sauce if wanted.
