Each child to get can of fizzy drink  (selection of cock, diet coke, fanta, sprite)

Took the dog out for her stroll this morning in the freezing darkness and discovered that a building in the next block was ablaze. The fire department eventually arrived and put quite a lot of water on it. Whatever wasn't burned was drowned. About the time it was all over, the cops came flying up to the scene in their cruisers and started yelling at everyone.

Compiling a training manual for the whizzer new Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), in which each tire on a vehicle is fitted with a sensor that transmits a signal indicating low pressure or a flat tire. There are warning indicators in the Instrument Panel to alert the driver to a low pressure scenario. This very helpful note is included in the source info: If the vehicle is not fitted with the TPMS, the warning indicators will not illuminate at any time.

At my local groceria, a lovely batard from Rock Hill Bakehouse had been hand-mislabeled by one of the staff: Rock Hill Bastard.

Moans and groans echoed around an airport terminal yesterday when a hard-core porn film played for 20 minutes on TV screens.  The movie was accidentally broadcast by staff watching a blue film at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi airport, sources said.  But officials insisted it was being broadcast as part of a TV channel's Aids awareness project.

Years ago my then housemate had offices on the grounds of San Francisco General Hospital which overlooked a large expanse of lawn that was well-known to the neighborhood's dogs. He reported that there was a fellow who regularly showed up early in the morning to insert one of those colorful miniature cocktail parasols into each little pile. tongue.gif

Last night I ordered a pizza from Spinelli's.

When it arrived a passage was handwritten on top of the box in black marker that stated as follows:


"Drugs are a bet with your mind" -Jim Morrison. Spinelli's is a sure thing.

You won't see that from Domino's.

Also, what's with the tabasco bottle apparently shoved through his left Supraorbital Foramen? Did he belittle a violent, roving gang of barbeque cooks? Me, I would have stolen his booze once the ritual mutilation was over.
