I saw the Roast infomercial a few months ago and it was hilarious. So many great lines, digs, slams one after another. I was cracking up thru the whole thing. I really forgot how funny they were.

We have treated ourselves to a new puppy. Another English Springer Spaniel, a lively little fella by the name of Jax (named after the main character in Sons of Anarchy, my wife likes him). He is 9 weeks old and and has made himself right at home, his big sister Lilly is wary of him though, he pinches all her toys and lies in her bed

Are you guys following this unresponsive small plane that seems to be on auto pilot and drifted into Cuba? Navy jets were tracking it til it got to Cuba and saw pilot slumped over. They think it's hypoxia (lack of oxygen).

Sounds like there's nothing they can do but wait for it to crash. How sad!!!

It was just reported the plane crashed in Jamaica.

I heard that, too. This is the second such crash in the recent past. A small plane went down off the Atlantic coast last week, too.

Sounds like what happened to Payne Stewart years ago. Lost cabin pressure, and jets had to follow the plane till it finally crashed in one of the Dakota's I believed.

I never liked planes, and probably never will.

Exactly.

Here is news article from Reuters

(Reuters) - A small U.S. private plane with an unresponsive pilot crashed off the east coast of Jamaica on Friday after veering far off its course toward southwest Florida and triggering a U.S. security alert that prompted a fighter jet escort.

Search and rescue teams, including a military plane and a helicopter, were despatched to the crash site about 14 miles (22 km) north of the tourist town of Port Antonio, Jamaica's Civil Aviation Authority said.

The United States Coast Guard also joined the search, the Jamaica Defence Force said.

"Our team should have arrived at the scene by now, but we have nothing further on whether or not there are survivors," a senior Jamaican military officer told Reuters.

A New York county official said that the people on board the plane included Rochester, New York, developer Larry Glazer and his wife, Jane Glazer. Both were killed, said Maggie Brooks, the Monroe County executive, adding she would speak about the couple's death at a press conference on Friday. It was not yet known if anyone else was on the plane.

The pilot stopped responding to radio calls about an hour after take-off from Greater Rochester International Airport in New York and was headed to Naples Municipal Airport in Florida, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration said.

The single-engine, seven-seater plane, a Socata TBM700, flew for several hours at an altitude of 25,000 feet (7,620 meters) southbound down the Florida east coast and south over Cuba, the FAA said.

It was trailed by two F-15 fighter jets, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said, before the jets halted their escort when the plane entered Cuban airspace.

CNN reported that the F-15 pilots who were tracking the aircraft could see the pilot slumped over before the plane's windows frosted over. There appeared to be two pilots in the plane, CNN reported, but the FAA said it had not confirmed the number of people on board.

U.S. aviation authorities alerted Cuba to the plane's approach and Cuban officials said it was not considered a violation of its air space.

The plane was owned by a company called New 51LG LLC, according to FlightAware.com and other online flight databases. That company appears to be registered at the same address as Buckingham Properties in Rochester, New York, according to registration documents posted on the Internet.

Calls to the company were not immediately answered.

Anyone recognize this famous singing group from this 1964 pic? I only recognized one person in the group. I guessed only because I recognized one person. The others, not so much. So young!!!!!!


TIS

Yeah that's The Who...Good band!

Daltrey and Townshend are the give aways. More so for Daltrey. That picture had to have been taken in the 60's due to Moon being in it. Good band, the CSI series use their songs.

Who?

Who You?

Yea, Daltrey was the give away for me. He has a distinct look. As I looked closer I did recognize Townsend. Keith Moon looks about 15. (maybe he was) I don't remember the name of the 4th band member.


TIS

Third base.

Wait! Wait!! So Who's on first?




TIS

Oh ok so you got the Gas Face!

Oh, he's our shortstop.

This is really random.
Years ago we used to go to the Rams practices at the local state college where we kids could meet them and get autographs. This is when Vince Ferragamo was playing lol. So we were assigned to a player so to speak and what we kids would do was carry their helmet or pads and gear to bring to the locker room. Then they would give us punch and Juicy Fruit gum
John Wayne's grandson used to go hang out there but they used to drive him around in a golf cart so he didn't have to walk the field like the rest of us kids. I think we called him Rusty but I can't remember. He was a very nice kid, everyone fell all over him.

Part 2
When we used to go back to the locker room area to wait for our gum and punch we girls were a little too close to the door.
All of a sudden Jackie Slater a big black player walked by NAKED. It was hilarious, he screamed and covered his junk but it was too late. We saw everything. There was A LOT to see.

Now THAT'S a stereotype that the brothers never cry about.

Hey Italians are a close second Sorry I couldn't resist my unlady like comments

That would be John Entwistle..

Thanks DeNiro. I know I'd recognize the name once I heard it.

The end is near?

(CNN) -- This is not your usual weather forecast. Big storms are brewing. Your umbrella won't help, but you might want to keep a flashlight handy. These storms are coming from the sun. It's raining down a huge amount of radiation. We're safe, but it could affect power grids, radios and satellites.

Experts say the combined energy from two recent solar events will arrive at Earth on Saturday, prompting the Space Weather Prediction Center to issue a strong geomagnetic storm watch.

Pete Townshend (the one that looks like a pedophile) looked up child porn and said it was for *research*.

Looks like my high school graduating class.

You say that like that isn't a part of everyones research . Seriously has your boss never asked you to look up Child Porn for research.....snob. Oh wait a second my boss never asked me to either.... regardless everyone one loves this song (look away) -

Woman, 80, punches robber in mouth.

A woman in her 80s punched a robber in the face, causing him to run off.

The woman was walking her dog in Whitstable, Kent, when she was grabbed in an alleyway by a man dressed in black and wearing a hooded top.

This is an MSN link that lists some things that we have stopped buying in previous quantities. I was surprised that some such as cereal were on the list:
