Her family broke up soon after her birth. During a custody case after her parents divorce it was brought to the courts attention that her father had given the child, then three years old LSD.
Living with her mother who went on to marry three more times and spent the next several years living in hippie communes. At one point while her mother had moved to New Zealand with her new husband and her half- sisters she was left with a “friend” of her mothers. Shortly after reuniting with her family in New Zealand she was sent away to boarding school.
At 16, she emancipated herself from her family and traveled around the U.S., England and the Republic of Ireland, living on a trust fund.
Whatever happened to this child?

Your telling me that if John McCain becomes president and he slips and breaks a hip. That the leader of the free world will be someone that reminds me of a sexy librarian?
That of all the people in the country, the Governor of Alaska,a state where being attacked by a moose in downtown Anchorage is a actual possibility could be president.
Actually, looking at the three other knuckleheads they have trotted out for us she might be the most qualified.

I watched Hillary Clinton’s speech last night at the convention. After they showed the video tribute and they introduced her she came out and prowled the stage like a cage tiger.
As she was doing this and every time she gives a speech she points to what looks like specific people and waves. Oddly, I saw her do this a few days ago when the arena was empty, just a few reporters up front.
Who the hell is she waving to? Is she actually waving to “someone” or does she just think it looks good on TV?
While I’m at it. She spoke about a woman she met while campaigning who was a single mother and had developed cancer. She said that this woman came to a rally and hugged her. That she had “Hillary” painted on her bald head. And asked Mrs. Clinton to work for health care for her and her children.
I’m I wrong in assuming that because she had cancer and she was bald that she was receiving health care, hair loss from the chemo?
I’m just wondering.

First: Needing to feed my recent interest in all things Steampunk I was at Blockbuster looking for 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Did they have it? Of course not. Granted it was made in 1957 but come on! Its Disney for crying out loud.
Wouldn’t you think this movie should be pretty easy to find?
Second: While at Blockbuster the guy working there says to his co worker,
“Hey, did you know that Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence?”
She says”No, where did you hear that?”
Him: ( he answered her but by this point my brain had shut down everything but basic life support systems and I didn’t hear what he said)
I stood in the middle of Blockbuster slack jawed. I was stunned, shocked,amazed. It actually took me several seconds for my head to clear and for me to get my bearings. Once I got my legs under me, I just wanted to beat the crap out of both of them, and then set the building on fire.
My question: How the f_ck do you get to be old enough to have a job and not know that Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration
It’s Thomas F_cking Jefferson for Christ’s sake!!!
Your working at Blockbuster, didn’t you watch “National Treasure”
If your remotely close to my age, something to think about. These are the people that are going to be taking care of us when we are 90!!! Arrgh!

Is This Funny?
18 months ago
Sunday I went out to eat with The Great Floydeanie. And no, thats not the funny part.
Anyway we went out to eat at Romanos Macaroni Grill and as we are finishing up this group of of 6-8 very attractive 20-something women come in and sat right behind me.
So me and Floydeanie are waiting for the check and these girls behind us are doing what 20-something girls do. Giggling and bitching about men. One of them asks another how her date went Saturday night. Her response was…
“All I want is someone thats as smart as Einstein and hung like a horse.”
Classy, I know.
At this I turned and said “Hey for what its worth, I’m hung like Einstein and as smart as a horse”
(insert crickets chirping here and 8 blank stares gawking at me)
My question..Was that funny?
Come one! “Hung like Einstein and smart as a horse.”!
Hey, if nothing else I crack myself up.

Last Thursday we had a bit of nasty weather. It’s the first time in 10 years that I’ve lived here that the storm sirens went off. Genius that I am, I flipped on the tv and according to our local calm and collected weather reporter (I think she actually said something like” If your within the sound of my voice, shoot yourself in the head because we are all going to die anyway.) there had been a tornado spotted just south west of where I live. Again genius that I am and living on the third floor I decided to go down to the laundry room in the basement.
Of course the whole building was down there and my one neighbor that I’ve actually had some interaction with was standing there holding a very cute little girl.
I’m horrible at telling how old someone is but I would guess that this woman is about the same age as me, perhaps a few years younger.
Anyway just to make conversation I asked “Who’s this?” and she told me this little girls name and went on to explain it was her granddaughter. I then asked “You have grandchildren?” To which she replied “Yes fourteen of them.”
Flippin Fourteen
Heres the question. Which is more unusual. That she has 14 grandchildren at age 40something or that I have none or for that matter no children?
Fourteen

How long would you think it would take a person(me) with slightly above average intelligence (132 according to the U.S. Army. Yeah I know, its the flipping Army so take from that what you will) using the most basic of tools (knife seen above) to open a toothbrush wrapped in Uberplastic?
How many digits would you expect said person (me) to have on each hand at the end of this process?
And why does any product wrapped in this shit not come with some form of blood pressure medication?

Been a little under the weather the last couple of days and spent most of today in bed watching movies. Just finished watching Fight Club. With that in mind….
“If you could fight anyone in history, who would it be?”
I know, I know. I can hear you now…”Stitch, do you have anger issues? Do you have violent tendencies? Why I love all of gods little creatures and would never fight anyone or anything.”
Right. Thats a very P.C. answer and you have covered your arse. But come on, there is someone famous out there that you think needs a punch in the throat.
Who?

I just happened across one of those online tests. This one was to see how happy you are. I read the first question, had a panic attack and clicked out of the page. Any insights?
