Monopoly Debit Cards?
Like my grandma would say, "Now, I've Seen Everything!". I read a story in The Beaumont Enterprise today, about the future of Monopoly, and a the new modern version of the game in Britian. In this article I also discovered that some people have monopoly tourneyments, that attract like 50 people, I don't think I would like playing with these people. They are probably like my cousin used to be mean and always buy all the property on the expensive half of the board and build hotels on every possible spot...the one good draw of the debit card game, is that he couldn't steal all the $500 bills and hide them under the board for a buying opportunity!...Read More Here.

It is Final
- The Frozen Pizza industry is worth more than $5 Billion in America
- Americans eat almost 3 billion pizzas a year
- They consume 1.8 billion slices of frozen pizza annually
- some 350 million tons of frozen pizza are sold every year
- The largest baked pizza measured 12,159 square feet in (Norwood, South Africa)
- The Average American gobbles 46 slices of pizza annually
- Typical American Families eat pizza at home 30 times a year
and who doesn't eat pizza to bring the average to 46 slices, I know people that eat that much pizza a quarter...I know my dad doesn't eat pizza, but I think he is the only person in the universe, I am thinking that Red Barron forgot to include college kids in this survey.
Anyway, you get the idea of what I will do, present the idea, and then my smart-ass opinion...does that sound like people will read it? I hope so, because I have been cartoonized for my profile and advertisements.

Smiley? Who knew...
I love the smiley logo, and personally am glad that they are trying to up their image :)
In the words of Nicolas Loufrani, of SmileyWorld, "We want to aim our brand more upmarket."
Read the article
All Hail The Star Spangled Banner and our beautiful flag.
The Star-Spangled Banner
O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust!”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
