A Texas church has challenged its members - just the married ones - to have sex for seven straight days.

SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM

Oddly enough, my comments to Flashpoint get caught in the SPAM filter, even when I’m logged in. Flashpoint receives several hundred SPAMs every day. I have to wade through the SPAM to find my comments and unSPAM them.  Believe me, this SPAM is nastier than the nastiest Stinky French Garlic. But, as an eternal optimist, I’ve found the silver lining - I get to practice reading Russian. Here are some samples:

порно = porno

фото - photo

эротика = erotica

секс = sex

And now for something completely different…

What a moron.

CINCINNATI — Maybe receiver Chad Johnson can go by the name that his head coach hates.

The Cincinnati Bengals receiver has legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco in Broward County, Fla., a switch that became official this week. Johnson, who lives in Miami, didn’t return a message left on his cell phone Friday night.

Two years ago, Johnson gave himself the moniker — a reference in Spanish to his No. 85 — and put it on the back of his uniform before a game. Quarterback Carson Palmer ripped it off before the kickoff. After the season, coach Marvin Lewis — who dislikes Johnson’s attention-getting stunts — referred to the receiver as “Ocho Psycho.”

I saw the Hillary Clinton nutcracker a little while back.  Now we have a Bill Clinton corkscrew.

I might just have to get one of those.

From AL.com:

Huntsville police ended a week-long undercover investigation by arresting two men and issuing warrants for 22 more in connection with alleged sexual misconduct at the Governors Drive Scenic Overlook, police said today.

“This detail was in response to complaints from citizens about homosexual activity that has been taking place at one of the community’s most scenic sites,” police said in a news release.

The Times also published the names, ages, and home towns of all the suspects.  The list included an 84 year old man.

Seriously, if you want to have sex in the uncomfortably tight confines of a car then do it in your garage.

From the Lone Star State:

A 5-year-old boy slipped out of the Imagination Station child care center unnoticed Tuesday afternoon, crossed two busy streets and wandered to a restaurant on the Interstate 35E service road in 100-degree heat.

Employees of Hooters found the child safe about 5:20 p.m. He left the child care center in the 2300 block of San Jacinto Boulevard, crossed the Interstate 35E northbound service road and Dallas Drive, bought a soft drink at a service station and walked to Hooters…

They do start ‘em young in Texas.

Over the weekend I saw this sign on the back of a pick up truck here in Huntsville. It simply says “Boot John McCain” and sports the Confederate battle flag. Very classy. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that the driver of the truck is not planning on casting his vote for Barack Obama as the alternative.

The bottom of the sign lists (I believe) the web address for the Southern Party of Georgia - an organization that is quite fond of the Confederate flag. In addition to the McCain sign they also sell (sold?) “Boot Mitt Romney” and “Boot Fred Thompson” signs.

Well, not quite.  It was actually a drunk, naked man in the middle of the road who claimed to be both Jesus and President Bush.

My mom likes to say, “They’ll make anything to get your money.”  She never said who “they” are, but I think I may have found one of the culprits.  This site sells a foam banana with a compartment in it for your cell phone.  You literally hold the foam banana up to your head to talk on your phone.

It is hard to believe that we’re in some sort of financial crisis in this country while there are people out there willing to give up some of their hard earned money so they can talk into a foam banana.

Why is 21-year-old Tiondra Boldon, a college student at the University of North Texas, voting for Barack Obama?  She offered this insightful view into the inner workings of her mind in a nationally broadcast interview on NPR:

“The way he speaks to us, it’s not using all these, I guess, dictionary type words.”

I believe the children are our future.
