Mike's Back
I want to thank all our readers for their support while I have been away. I would like to thank Vangie for filling in while I have been away. The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated and I promise that in the future I will do my best not to go absent for more than a month at a time. We will also have more posts from the lovely and talented Vangie in the future.I want to take some time to share with you some of the news articles that people have been bringing to my attention while I have been away. The first article was sent to me in response to the recent mouse posts from a PETA person. The article is titled "Humans Shoot Themselves in Mouse Fight", click on the link to get the whole story. Now I know my trap appears to have a bit of a redneck flavor to it, but I want to assure everyone that I would not waste bullets on these evil critters. Also the mess of cleaning up a shot up mouse would not be worth the satisfaction of shooting it.
The second interesting article which was brought to my attention is the story of Joe Galliott, a man who was trapped under his couch for a few days. As you may or may not be aware one of my theories is that nothing bad has ever happened to me while I have been sitting on a couch. In fact most stories I have which involve me being greatly embarassed or hurt usually begin with me leaving couch. Having noticed this trend I have long been a proponet of staying on the couch. With that being said apparently our friend Joe in England does give a rather interesting account of tripping over his couch and having it flip on top of him. I have to be honest and tell you I am not buying Joe's story. First off, who keeps hard liquor near the couch? Listen let's just be honest here Joe - if you want to go off on two day bender I am just fine with that, but we don't need people making up stories about being trapped under innocent couches. I think what made me suspicious about the whole story is at the end of the article the writer states the our friend Joe now keeps a bottle of whiskey next to the couch in case this might happen again. Seriously if you thought you were in danger of being trapped for a lengthy period of time under a couch and were concerned about your survival wouldn't you first consider storing some bread and water first? It's irresponsible journalism like this that gives couches and the people who enjoy sitting upon them a bad name. Enough said.
I stumbled across this last news story myself. It is about a blind boxer and it is truly inspirational. As many of you know I am rappidly approaching forty and have begun putting together a bucket list of sorts. I want to jump out of an airplane this year, perhaps drive a race car up in the Pocconos and maybe go wild boar hunting. Anyway, I want to add this guy to the list. I know I am out of shape but I am pretty sure I can take him. Here is a link to the video.
