Happy Birthday, Joe.

Now here's a pitcher fielding his position. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfQtZpZVlbw

Will this be enough to discourage the use of performance enhancing drugs? http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/9464246/ryan-braun-refused-answer-mlb-questions-biogenesis-clinic-sources-say?icid=maing-grid7%7Caim%7Cdl4%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D341805

Do you take orders?

Change for many is a scary issue. Therefore, some people do whatever they can to maintain the status quo and hold on to whatever positive feelings they are attempting to cling to.

Great to finally see a country song addressing this issue. I bet a lot of the old timers are turning over in their graves though. I'd love to hear a reaction from some of the current country stars.

Congrats to Andy Murray for becoming the first Brit to win Wimbeldon since 1936.

It seems to be a human failing that never changes. There are always those who find it necessary to belittle or denegrade others to feel better about themselves. If it isn't race, it's religion. If it isn't religion, then it's intelligence or where you live or your sexuality. Once that is no longer a popular target, they find something else or go back to one of the earlier targets and start in on them all over again. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Happy Birthday, Tucker. Remember, life begins at 40.

I used to love the occasional Funny Bone, which we peanut butter filled and covered in chocolate. Not sure if they were Hostess or not, because they no longer make them.

Seeing we actually don't know very much about the ocean, mostly due to the pressures at those depths, the robotic vehicles are an ideal source of information. I know men have journeyed to the Challenger Deep twice and both trips were hazardous, so this is a great option to gain the same information without risking lives. We already have robotic vehicles exploring other planets, either doing a flyby or orbiting the planet, but we also have rovers on mars. It appears as if a lot of our future information will be gained in this fashion.

For those Twinkie fans looking for something a little different, they're going to start offering Frozen Twinkies. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/05/hostess-freezing-twinkies_n_3552162.html?icid=maing-grid7%7Caim%7Cdl3%7Csec3_lnk1%26pLid%3D340526 Just don't break a tooth on one.

Personally, I would have enjoyed having them called Vulcan and Klingon, or even Romulus, since I'm a Trek fan. . However, since Pluto was the Roman god of the underworld, they could have named the moon for his Greek counterpart, Hades, and his guard dog, Cerberus. They could have also chosen Ceres and Proserpina. Pluto supposedly took Ceres daughter, Proserpina, to the underworld as his bride.

It took me a little while to find it, but I remembered a play being written for one of the Anthologies and here is the link to it, if you are interested. https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/lookawaydickie

It would definitely take a totally different mindset, since you would be totally focused on dialogue. Stage directions aren't nearly as detailed as descriptions in stories and leave much of that up to the actors. I'm sure you might have some interested parties though.

Douglas Engelbart, Father of the Computer Mouse, Dies at Age 88
Bill W replied to hh5's topic in The Lounge
Another contribution that changed the world, but I'm not sure how the term mouse applied looking at that. Obviously, the term must have been given to one of the later improvements on the device. RIP, Douglas Engelbart, and I shall think of you every time I used my computer. -
Happy 4th of July to all US GA members.

I wouldn't mind having my brain transplanted into a younger body, but who wants to keep an old head? lol
-
For a while, I thought the stocking cap was to cover up premature baldness. lol Marc, I'm not sure about the bitch fight - it might be just the security teams mixing it up or possibly someone pulling a gun. Hell, Justin might even try to run him over with his Ferari.

If he is the next Justin Bieber, is there a way to keep him from going off the deep end as Justin seems to have done lately?

Happy Birthday to my favorite carebear. May you have many, many more.

So that's what British men do in their garden sheds. Really cool and looks like something out of Stargate. I know this is what a lot of the early space pioneers pictured for space travel, such as the Flash Gordon Strato Sled or the original Buck Rogers spacecraft. I hope he can make it functional. .

Is it Jared Leto?

Andy, I'm glad you approve and you can thank WL for the suggestion of multiple endings. I rolled the dice several times, but never came up with Yetti Ones results. I guess I had better luck.

Rather than spend my money on coffeetiviti, I'll continue to use my music or the tv on low for background noise. However, this does prove why I have always relied on such background noises, even when writing papers in college.
