Question: Would Dog's Mead make a suitable archery range for the Nationals? If so, which event?

Haven't got to Dog's Mead yet, but the river crossing was 22min by my count, unless Elvis really is dead, in which case subtract 5 minutes :)

If I've got this right then Dog's Mead would fit the clout range along it's length with about 20m to spare.

I'm saving up for a 30-40lb longbow specifically for clout, and hope to give it a go next year.

A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead
sitting at the next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down,
but lacks the nerve to start a conversation.
Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket
towards the man.
He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back.
"Oh my, I am so sorry," the woman says as she pops her eye back in place.
"Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you," she says.
They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they go to the
theater followed by drinks. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest
dreams and he shares his. She listens.
After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her
place for a nightcap ....... and stay for breakfast. They have a wonderful,
wonderful time. The next morning, she cooks a gourmet meal with all the
trimmings. The guy is amazed!! Everything has been SO incredible!!!!
"You know," he said, "you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every
guy you
meet?"
"No," she replies........."
Wait for it... (scroll down)
It's coming...
The suspense is killing you, isn't it?
She says: "You just happened to catch my eye."
A woman was very distraught at the fact that she had not had a date or any sex for over 5 years. She was afraid she might have something wrong with her, so she decided to seek the medical expertise of the well known Chinese sex therapist, Dr. Chang.
Upon entering the examination room, Dr. Chang said, "OK, take off all
your crose." The woman did as she was told. "Now get down and craw reery, reery fass to odderside of room." Again, the woman did as she was
instructed. Dr. Chang then said, "OK, now craw reery, reery fass back to me." As she did, Dr. Chang shook his head slowly. "Your probrem vewy bad. You haf Ed Zachary Disease. Worse case I ever see. Dat why you not haf sex or dates." The woman asked anxiously, "Oh my God, Dr. Chang, what is Ed Zachary Disease?" Dr. Chang sighed deeply and replied: "Ed Zachary Disease is when your face look Ed Zachary like your ass.

A man took his wife to the rodeo and one of the first exhibits they stopped at was the breeding bulls.
They went up to the first pen and there was a sign attached that said,
"This bull mated 50 times last year."
The wife playfully nudged her husband in the ribs and said,
"He mated 50 times last year."
They walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said,
"This bull mated 120 times last year."
The wife gave her husband a healthy jab and said,
"That's more than twice a week! You could learn a lot from him."
They walked to the third pen and it had a sign attached that said, in capital letters,
"This bull mated 365 times last year."
The wife, so excited that her elbow nearly broke her husband's ribs, said,
"That's once a day. You could REALLY learn something from this one."
The husband looked at her and said,
"Go over and ask him if it was with the same cow."

Two cheerleading teams, one of all Blondes and one of all Brunettes charter a double-decker bus for a weekend cheerleading competition in Brisbane. The Brunette team rode on the bottom of the bus, and the Blonde team rode on the top level. The Brunette team down below really whooped it up, having a great time, when one of them realised she hasn't heard anything from the Blondes upstairs.
She decided to go up and investigate. When the Brunette reached the top, she found all the Blondes frozen in fear, staring straight-ahead At the road, clutching the seats in front of them with white knuckles. The brunette asked, "What the heck's going on up here? We're having a great time downstairs!" One of the Blondes looks up at her, swallows hard and whispered, "YEAH, BUT YOU'VE GOT A DRIVER."

Hey here's an idea!.......find a nutrigrain that resembles ET.....get a few friends to bid for it, pretend to buy it for $ 1000.
Then we'll call A Current affair, sell them the story for $ 3000 (or more). There's enough people out there who believe what they seen on TV, it will make a good story.
The genious is in the idea.
(Do you REALLY believe someone would pay so much for a nutrigrain?) The sad part is that many would; otherwise no audience for the tabloids...mmm. :-?

Not sure it I should post this but what the heck..... :roll:
One day David was rummaging through the collection of old photos in the attic, when he came across one that he hadn't seen in years. It was an old faded picture of his school chum, Eddie White. They'd run together for most of their growing years, but the school system sent them to different Senior schools, and that was the last they'd ever seen of each other. David wondered how Eddie was doing, and for the days and weeks that followed he just couldn't get Eddie outof his thoughts.
He explained the waves of nostalgia that kept rolling over him to his neighbour one day, and his neighbour suggested that he take the time to look Eddie up. It took him months and months of careful research, but finally he traced him to a cotton mill in Manchester. His parents had moved to Manchester shortly after David and Eddie had started Senior school, and that was why they'd never seen each other all these years.
Eddie had done well for himself. David learned that he had worked his way up to chief cotton buyer for the mill, and so with great anticipation David boarded the train to Manchester. The following day, he went into the reception area of the mill and asked the receptionist to inform Eddie that an old pal was waiting downstairs to see him. The receptionist simply smiled, and David's heart sank as she informed him that Mr White had gone abroad to buy cotton for the mill, and he wouldn't be back for at least four weeks. It was a tremendous disappointment, but David said that he'd try again in four weeks.
And that was how it went on and on. Every time David went to the mill to see Eddie, he was informed that he'd just left to buy cotton for the mill. But one day, the receptionist took pity on him, and said to David, "Look, I've just spoken to Mr White's secretary, and she assures me that he is very eager to meet you again after all these years, and that he'll definitely be in his office on the 18th of next month to see you. And he made that a very firm promise. He'll not go anywhere that day to buy cotton!"
So David had this assurance, the weeks went by, the 18th came along. On that morning, David walked into the reception area with a spring in his step, when suddenly the receptionist's face told him that he'd be disappointed yet again. "But this is dreadful," moaned David, "please don't tell me that he's gone off to buy more cotton. Every time, it's the same old thing. 'Mr White isn't here right now. He's in Egypt buying cotton!'" "Er, no," said the receptionist. "It's worse than that. You see, Mr White dropped dead in the car park the other day." "What?" cried David, "My friend Eddie, dead? I don't believe what I'm hearing!" "I know how you must be feeling," sympathised the receptionist, "but perhaps you'd like to see the monument that the company set up over hisgrave. It's just across the road in that cemetery."
So David sadly dragged his tired feet over to the cemetery, and walked up to the huge black marble monument that was erected over Eddie's grave,and through his tears David began to read the magnificent gold lettering carved on the front of the monument:
"Here lies Eddie White.....
.... Gone, but not for cotton."

A young man walked up to the bench and sat down.
He had spiked hair in all different colors: Green, Red, Orange, Blue, and Yellow.
The old man just stared and stared.
Every time the young man looked, the old man was staring.
Finally the young man said sarcastically, "What's the matter old timer, never done anything wild in your life?
"Without batting an eye, the old man replied, "Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock.
I was wondering if you were my son."

Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser of two weevils.

A young crocodile living at the mouth of a river hadn't had anything to eat for some time. He decided to go up river to find out why food had stopped coming his way. Some distance up the river he found a very well fed old-man croc sunning himself on the river bank.
He approched the old croc and asked him if the hunting was any good and did he mind if he hunted in the area. Crocodiles are very territorial. The old man said "Of course you can young fella. There's plenty of tucker here. Wallabies, buffalo, the odd old dog or two and humans. Good tucker them humans."
While the old croc was talking the young croc noticed another another crocodile in even worse condition than he was. He mentioned the other croc to the old man.
"Young fella" said the old croc "I see you have style you know how to look like a log, move in slowly and quietly and wait for the right moment. You'll get plenty of food - even humans, good tucker them humans." " That other bloke has no style. He charges in, thrashing the water, jaws wide open and frightens everything away. All he ever gets is sh** and sandshoes."

Thanks to all my "friends" who sent me such important emails in 2004!
It's so wonderful that you included me in your quest to inform!
Because of all of you I stopped drinking Coca-Cola after I found out from you that it's good for removing toilet stains.
I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infected with a disease. I smell awful, but thank goodness I stopped using deodorant because you said it causes cancer.
I don't leave my car in any parking lot even though I sometimes have to walk about seven blocks, because you said that someone might drug me with a perfume sample and then try to rob me.
I also stopped answering the phone because you said that they will ask me to dial a stupid number and then I get a high phone bill with calls to Uganda, Singapore, Tokyo and maybe the Mars Rover.
I stopped eating chicken and hamburgers because you told me they are nothing more than horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers that are bred in a lab so that places like McDonalds can sell their Big Macs.
I also stopped drinking anything out of a can - you said that I will get sick from the rat faeces and urine.
When I go to parties, I now don't mix with anybody - you said that someone will take my kidneys and leave me taking a nap in a bathtub full of ice.
However, the police are also after me at present because you said not to pull over as they could be fake policemen trying to kidnap me.
I went bankrupt from bounced cheques that I wrote, in anticipation of the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL were supposed to send me when I participated in their special e-mail program.
It's weird, though, that my new free cell phone never arrived, and neither did the passes for my paid vacation to Disneyland. But I am positive that all this is because of the chain I broke or forgot to follow and I got a curse.
OOPS I ALMOST FORGOT, IMPORTANT NOTE: If you don't send this e-mail to at least 1200 people in the next ten seconds, a bird will crap on you tonight at 7:00 PM.

SON SAYS: Daddy, how was I born?
DAD SAYS:
Ah, well, my son, one day you will need to find out anyway! Mom and
Dad got together in a chat room on MSN. Dad set up a date via e-mail
with your mom and we met at a cybercafe. We sneaked into a secluded
room, and then your mother downloaded from dad's memory stick. As soon
as dad was ready for an upload, it was discovered that neither one of us
had used a firewall. Since it was too late to hit the delete button,
nine months later the blessed little virus appeared.
And that's the story.

A blonde tries to go horseback riding even though she has had no lessons
or prior experience. She mounts the horse unassisted and the horse
immediately springs into action. It gallops along at a steady rhythmic
pace, but the blonde begins to lose her grip and starts to slide in the
saddle. In terror, she grabs for the mane but can't seem to get a firm
grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horses neck, but she slides
down the side of the horse anyway. The horse gallops along, seemingly
impervious to it's slipping rider. Unfortunately, the Blondes foot has
become entangled in the stirrup. She is now at the mercy of the hooves
as her head is struck against the ground over and over again. As her
head is battered against the ground she is moments away from losing
consciousness when, to her great fortune, the Woolworth's Manager sees
her and unplugs the horse

The Redneck Love Poem
Collards is green, my dog's name is Blue
And I'm so lucky to have a sweet thang like you.
Yore hair is like corn silk a-flapping in the breeze.
Softer than Blue's and without all them fleas.
You move like the bass, which excite me in May.
You ain't got no scales but I luv you anyway.
Yo're as satisfy'n as okry jist a-fry'n in the pan.
Yo're as fragrant as "snuff" right out of the can.
You have some'a yore teeth, for which I am proud;
I hold my head high when we're in a crowd.
On special occasions, when you shave under yore arms,
Well, I'm in hawg heaven, and awed by yore charms.
Still them fellers at work, they all want to know,
What I did to deserve such a purdy, young doe.
Like a good roll of duct tape, yo're there fer yore man,
To patch up life's troubles and fix what you can.
Yo're as cute as a junebug a-buzzin' overhead.
You ain't mean like those far ants I found in my bed.
Cut from the best cloth like a plaid flannel shirt,
You spark up my life more than a fresh load of dirt.
When you hold me real tight like a padded gunrack,
My life is complete; Ain't nuttin' I lack.
Yore complexion, it's perfection, like the best vinyl sidin'.
Despite all the years, yore age, it keeps hidin'.
Me 'n' you's like a Moon Pie with a RC cold drank,
We go together like a skunk goes with stank.
Some men, they buy chocolate for Valentine's Day;
They git it at Wal-Mart, it's romantic that way.
Some men git roses on that special day
From the cooler at Kroger. That's impressive," I say.
Some men buy fine diamonds from a flea market booth.
"Diamonds are forever," they explain, suave and couth.
But for this man, honey, these won't do.
Cause yor'e too special, you sweet thang you.
I got you a gift, without taste nor odor,
More useful than diamonds......IT'S A NEW TROLL'N MOTOR!!

A couple was on their honeymoon, lying in bed, about ready to consummate their marriage, when the new bride says to the
husband, "I have a confession to make, I'm not a virgin."
The husband replies, "That's no big thing in this day and age."
The wife continues, "Yeah, I've been with one guy."
"Oh yeah? Who was the guy?" "Tiger Woods."
"Tiger Woods, the golfer?" "Yeah." "Well, he's rich, famous and handsome. I can see why you went to bed with him."
The husband and wife then make passionate love.
When they are done, the husband gets up and walks to
the telephone. "What are you doing?" asks the wife. The
husband says, "I'm hungry, I was going to call room service
and get something to eat."
"Tiger wouldn't do that." "Oh yeah? What would Tiger do?"
"He'd come back to bed and do it a second time." The husband
puts down the phone and goes back to bed to make love a
second time.
When they finish, he gets up and goes over to the phone.
"Now what are you doing?" She asks. The husband says,
"I'm still hungry so I was going to get room service to get
something to eat."
"Tiger wouldn't do that." "Oh yeah? What would Tiger do?"
"He'd come back to bed and do it again." The guy slams down
the phone, goes back to bed, and makes love one more time.
When they finish he's tired and beat. He drags himself over to
the phone and starts to dial.
The wife asks, "Are you calling room service?"
"No! I'm calling Tiger Woods, to find out what's par for this damn hole!"

It is the middle of July and Santa Claus is on holidays. He is enjoying a peaceful walk in a pine forest somewhere in northern Europe. Christmas is the furthest thing from his mind. Suddenly he hears someone calling his name, a fairy in a great state of excitement.
"Santa, Santa, I'm so glad I found you! Come and see what I have found". Reluctantly he follows the fairy to a clearing in the forest. In the middle of the clearing is a small, but perfectly proportioned christmas tree.
"Santa, Santa" says the fairy "Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it perfect? What should I do with it?"
And that is why to this day you find fairies at the top of christmas trees.

Customer: What makes you think I'd like something like that?
Operator: Well, you checked out 'Gourmet Soybean Recipes' from your
local library last week, sir. That's why I made the suggestion.
Customer: All right, all right. Give me two family-sized ones, then...
Operator: That should be plenty for you, your wife and your four kids.
Your 2 dogs can finish the crusts, sir. Your total is $49.99.
Customer: Lemme give you my credit card number.
Operator: I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid you'll have to pay in cash.
Your credit card balance is over its limit.
Customer: I'll run over to the ATM and get some cash before your
driver gets here.
Operator: That won't work either, sir. Your checking account is
overdrawn also.
Customer: Never mind! Just send the pizzas. I'll have the cash ready.
How long will it take?
Operator: We're running a little behind, sir. It'll be about 45
minutes, sir. If you're in a hurry you might want to pick'em up while
you're out getting the cash, but then, carrying pizzas on a motorcycle
can be a little awkward.
Customer: Wait! How do you know I ride a scooter?
Operator: It says here you're in arrears on your car payments, so your
car got repo'ed. But your Harley's paid for and you jus t filled the
tank yesterday.
Customer: Well, I'll be a #%#^^&$%^$@#
Operator: I'd advise watching your language, sir. You've already got a
July 4, 2003, conviction for cussing out a cop and another one I see
here in September for contempt at your hearing for cussing at a judge
Oh yes, I see here that you just got out from a 90 day stay in the
State Correctional Facility. Is this your first pizza since your return
to society?
Customer: (speechless)
Operator: Will there be anything else, sir?
Customer: Yes, I have a coupon for a free 2 liter of Coke.
Operator: I'm sorry sir, but our ad's exclusionary clause prevents us
from offering free soda to diabetics. The New Constitution prohibits
this. Thank you for calling Pizza Hut.
The Night Before (an American) Redneck Christmas
It was the night before Christmas, and all through the trailer park,
not a pop-top was poppin', not even Ole Blue barked.
Our stockin's was hung over the space heater with care,
in the hopes that Santy would fill 'em with Viennas and beer.
The kids was asleep in their NASCAR pj's,
Dreamin' of Goo Goo Clusters, Moon Pies, and Milkyway's.
And Earlene in her curlers and me in my Earnhardt cap,
had just settled into our La-Z-Boys for Wheel of Fortune and a nap.
Then out in the vacant lot I heart such a commotion,
I thought it was neighbor Clyde, finally got his T'bird in motion.
I heaved out of my recliner and to the window I flew,
Busted out the screen and hollered to Ole Blue.
The moon was shinin down on my old wrecked cars,
so bright they was sparklin' like rusty old stars.
And I couldn't believe by own hardworkin' eyes,
when a jacked-up Chevy pickup come flyin' through the sky!
Faster'n Ole Ironhead his possums they came,
and he whooped and hollered and called 'em by name:
"Git up Sooner! Hi Duke! Move yer tails Yaller and Spud!
On Blackie! On Queenie! You mind me Duchess and Bud!"
"To the top of the satellite dish! To the top of the shed!
Now move it n' Step on it! Ya'll get out the lead!"
You know how on our old road whenev'r a car goes by,
there's all this dirt that flys up into the sky?
That's how this crew went straight on up to my roof,
with that pickup full of toys, a real nice gun rack, and Redneck Santa too.
Then 'fore I could pop my teeth in I heard up on the tin,
the scrabbling around of them flying possums of his'n.
I yanked my head back in the trailer and hitched up my shorts,
Down the dryer vent Redneck Santa came with a grunt and a snort!
He was dressed in red-and-green camo from his neck to his feet,
and I had to give him credit he still had most of his teeth.
Looked like stuff from Earlene's yard sale slung on his back,
There was flyswatters an' Tupperware, an' 8-tracks stickin' out of his pack.
When he winked his eye I knew fer sure he'd treat us right,
why, he just might even leave me some ammo tonight!
I stood there dreamin' of a whitetail while I watched him work,
then he stopped and like a real man, let out a fart and a burp.
He topped off our stockin's with Moon Pies and bottle rockets,
then squoze up that dryer vent like Spam in your pocket.
He jumped in his pickup, laid down on the horn,
And I'm not lyin', they took off with their possum tails flyin'.
But I heerd him holler as he headed for the 7-11,
"Merry Christmas to all! And may all rednecks get into heav'n!"

Here's an interesting take on tradition (US$)
The high price of tradition
The price of giving all the items bestowed by the "true love" of the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" may be a little beyond most people's budget. The following costs were calculated for 1997, based upon a report issued in 1994 by PNC Bank Corp., assuming an annual rate of inflation of 2.5 percent:
(1) Partridge in a pear tree $38
(2) Turtle doves 54
(3) French hens 16
(4) Calling birds 302
(5) Gold rings 485
(6) Geese-a-laying 162
(7) Swans-a-swimming 7,538
(8) Maids-a-milking 37
(9) Pipers piping 2,807
(10) Ladies dancing 3,245
(11) Lords-a-leaping 1,194
(12) Drummers drumming 1,293
Total to give gifts once: $17,170
Total to give as in song*: $78,986
* Singing the song in its entirety results in 364 presents: The partridge is given 12 times, two doves 11 times (22 total), etc...

A Young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Florida. She wanted to
take home a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way.... but was
very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking for
the highly prized shoes.
After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle on prices" attitude of
one of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted, "Well then, maybe I'll just
go out and catch my own alligator, so I can get a pair of shoes at a
decent price!"
The shopkeeper said with a sly, knowing smile, "Little lady, ya'll just go
and give it a try, why don'cha!"
The blonde turned on her heel and headed out toward the swamps,
determined to catch herself an alligator. Later in the day, as the shop-
keeper is driving home, he pulls over to the side of the levee where he
spots that same young woman standing waist deep in the murky swamp
water, shotgun in hand.
Just then, he spots a huge 9-foot gator swimming rapidly toward her. With
lightning speed, she takes aim, kills the creature and, with a great deal of
effort, hauls it onto the slimy swamp bank. Lying nearby were several more
of the dead creatures.
The shopkeeper stands on the bank and watches this scenario in amazed
silence. Just then, the blonde struggles and flips the gator on its back.
Then, rolling her eyes heavenward and screaming in great frustration,
she shouts out, "Damn, this one is barefoot, too!"

1805 THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR - 'Kiss Me Hardy'
The Real Story (as told by Tony Blair)
Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy."
Hardy: "Aye, aye Sir."
Nelson: "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to the signal officer. What's the meaning of this?"
Hardy: "Sorry, Sir?"
Nelson (reading aloud): "England expects every person to do his duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability". "What gobbledygook is this?"
Hardy: "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, Sir. We're an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil's own job getting 'England' past the censors, lest it be considered racist."
Nelson: "Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco."
Hardy: "Sorry, Sir. All naval vessels have been designated smoke-free working environments."
Nelson: "In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the mainbrace to steel the men before battle."
Hardy: "The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. Its part of the Government's policy on binge drinking."
Nelson: "Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we'd better get on with it. Full speed ahead."
Hardy: "I think you'll find that there's a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water."
Nelson: "Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow's nest, please."
Hardy: "That won't be possible, Sir."
Nelson: "What?"
Hardy: "Health and safety have closed down the crow's nest, Sir. No harness. And they said that rope ladder doesn't meet regulations. They won't let anyone up there until a proper scaffolding can be erected."
Nelson: "Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay, Hardy."
Hardy: "He's busy knocking up a Wheelchair Access to the fo'c'sle Admiral."
Nelson: "Wheelchair Access?" I've never heard anything so absurd.
Hardy: "Health and safety again, Sir. We have to provide a barrier-free environment for the differently-abled."
Nelson: "Differently-abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of Admiral by playing the disability card."
Hardy: "Actually, Sir, you did without realising it. The Royal Navy is under-represented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency."
Nelson: "Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons."
Hardy: "A couple of problems there too, Sir. Health and safety won't let the crew up the rigging without crash helmets. And they don't want anyone breathing in too much salt - haven't you seen the adverts?"
Nelson: "I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy."
Hardy: "The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral."
Nelson: "What? This is mutiny."
Hardy: "It's not that, Sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There's a couple of legal aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks."
Nelson: "Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?"
Hardy: "Actually, Sir, we're not."
Nelson: "We're not?"
Hardy: "No, Sir. The Frenchies and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn't even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation."
Nelson: "But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil."
Hardy: "I wouldn't let the ship's Diversity Co-ordinator hear you saying that Sir. You'll be up on a disciplinary charge."
Nelson: "You must consider every man an enemy who speaks ill of your King."
Hardy: "Not any more, Sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it's the rules."
Nelson: "Don't tell me - health and safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy and the lash?"
Hardy: "As I explained, Sir, rum is off the menu! And there's a complete ban on corporal punishment."
Nelson: "What about sodomy?"
Hardy: "That Sir... is to be encouraged."
Nelson: "In that case ...kiss me, Hardy."

According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 40's, 50's, 60's, or even maybe the early 70's probably shouldn't have survived.
Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets.
Lets not mention the extreme risks we took hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seatbelts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the street lights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. NO CELL PHONES!!!!!
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, video tape movies, surround sound, personal cell phones, personal computers, or Internet chat rooms.
We had friends!
We went outside and found them.
We played dodge ball, and sometimes, the ball would really hurt.
We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. They were accidents. No one was to blame but us. Remember accidents?
We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over it.
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms, and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or rang the bell or just walked in and talked to them.
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.
Some students weren't as smart as others, so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade.
Tests were not adjusted for any reason.
Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law.
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever.
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

Here are the best quotes from the rich, humorous and famous.
"Having sex is like playing bridge. If you don't have a good
partner, you'd better have a good hand."
Woody Allen
"Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday
night."
Rodney Dangerfield
"There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual
arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz
380SL."
Lynn Lavner
"There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual
arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is an Alfa Romeo" .
Milkovitsch (Couldn't help myself)
"Sex at age 90 is like trying to shoot pool with a rope."
Camille Paglia
"Sex is one of the nine reasons for incarnation. The other eight
are unimportant."
George Burns
"Women might be able to fake orgasms. But men can fake a whole
relationship."
Sharon Stone
"Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black
men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps."
Tiger Woods
My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-b***h."
Jack Nicholson
"Clinton lied. A man might forget where he parks or where he lives,
but he never forgets oral sex, no matter how bad it is."
Barbara Bush (Former US First Lady, and you didn't think Barbara had
a sense of humour)
"Ah, yes, divorce, from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's
genitals through his wallet."
Robin Williams
"Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place."

Now we all have noted that there is no such thing as a tidal wave, only tsunamis, and that in the middle of an ocean they are not much more than a swell of a few meters at the most....can you see why many in the scientific community have renamed the well known move "The Poseidon Invention"?

Also to pass the time type elgooG into Google, and follow the first link.
Then perhaps type yrehcra into the seach box and click hcraeS (search)...
Nothing like mirror image search results to slow down your reading speed! :D:D The actual sites are reflected the right way though. From what I read it has been used well in China (by those with Roman alphabet keyboards) where many sites are blocked as the software the government uses doesn't recognise such things as "swen CBB" as a banned site.

In a crowded city at a crowded bus stop a beautiful young woman was waiting for the bus. Dressed up for work, she was wearing a very tight mini skirt. As the bus rolled up and it became her turn to get on the bus she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the bus' first step.
So slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the bus driver she reached behind her and unzipped her skirt a little thinking that this would give her enough slack to raise her leg. Again she tried to make the step onto the bus to discover she still could not make the step.
So, a little more embarrassed she once again reached behind her and unzipped her skirt a little more. And for a second time she attempted the step and once again, much to her disgust she could not raise her leg because of the tight skirt.
So with a coy little smile to the driver she again unzipped the offending skirt to give a little more slack and again was unable to make the step.
About this time, the big Texan that was behind her in the line picked her up easily from the waist and placed her lightly on the step of the bus.
Well, she went ballistic and turned on the would-be hero, screeching at him, "How dare you touch my body!! I don't even know who you are!!"
At this the Texan drawled, "Well ma'am, normally I would agree with you but after you unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured we was friends."

Modern Day Stork Story ...
Little Johnny asks ... Daddy, how was I born?
DAD SAYS: Ah, my son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Well, you see your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on MSN. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a blessed little Popup appeared and said:
"You've Got Male!"

A woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected
a half pint of milk
a carton of eggs,
a quart of orange juice,
a head of Iceberg lettuce,
a 2 lb. can of coffee,
and a 1 lb. package of bacon.
As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a
Drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of
the cashier.
While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk calmly stated,
"You must be single."
The woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was intrigued by his intuition, since she was indeed single. She looked at her six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about her selections that could have tipped off the drunk to her marital status. Curiosity getting the better of her, she said "Well, you know what, you're absolutely correct. But how on earth did you know that?"
The drunk replied, "Cause you're ugly."

An Australian man was having coffee and croissants with butter and jam in a cafe, when an American tourist, chewing gum, sat down next to him.
The Australian politely ignored the American who, nevertheless, started up a conversation.
The American snapped the gum in his mouth and said, "Do you Australian folk eat the whole bread?"
The Australian frowned, annoyed with being bothered during his breakfast, and replied, "yeah, of course".
The American blew a huge bubble. "We don't. In the States we only eat what's inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle them, transform them into croissants and sell them to Australia."
The American had a smirk on his face, the Australian listened in silence.
The American persisted, "D'ya eat jam with the bread?"
Sighing, the Australian replied "yes."
Cracking his! gum between his teeth, the American said, "We don't. In the States we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, we put all the peels, seeds and leftovers in containers, recycle them, transform them into jam, and sell it to Australia."
The Australian then asked, "Do you have sex in the States?"
The American smiled and said "yeah, of course we do."
The Australian leant closer to him and asked, "what do you do with the condoms once you've used them?"
We throw them away of course" replied the American.
Now it was the Australian's turn to smile.
We don't. In Australia, we put them in containers, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum and sell them to The United States, that's why its called Wrigley's."

An eccentric philosophy professor gave a one question final exam after a semester dealing with a broad array of topics.
The class was already seated and ready to go when the professor picked up his chair, plopped it on his desk and wrote on the board: "Using everything we have learned this semester, prove that this chair does not exist."
Fingers flew, erasers erased, notebooks were filled in furious fashion. Some students wrote over 30 pages in one hour attempting to refute the existence of the chair. one member of the class however, was up and finished in less than a minute.
Weeks later when the grades were posted, the rest of the group wondered how he could have gotten an A when he had barely written anything at all.
His answer consisted of two words: "What chair?"

When I was told about this game - using vacuum cleaner telescopes (aka "wands") to move a steel ball into a hole, I thought it was stupid.
It is, but it's highly addictive and quite tricky at the higher levels.
