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.

The Coolest Dog Ever lol

watch this video this dog is so cool lol

It is Final

It is final. My last day in the Newspaper world in August 11, 2006. My new position at the Chevy Dealership begins on August 14, 2006. For the record, this was the hardest decision I have ever made, but I am very excited to move on to a new exciting world, and the paper is letting me do a Blog for the paper when I go, It is called "PrintGirl Views" I am going to be making entries on any thing i read that is printed that seems amusing, it could be a newspaper, magazine, internet, book, homework, ad, billboard, cereal box, whatever, Like yesterday in the Beaumont Enterprise I was reading about the stats that Red Baron had compiled about pizza. These were their "fun facts"

  • 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
The thing I was wondering was- How does the pizza industry make only $5 billion on 3 billion pizzas
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.

MUD DAYS Detroit

Ok, so I was checking the Grand Forks Herald this morning and in their weekly photo gallery they had this photo from the AP, I thought "Why haven't we went to Detroit to jump in the mud for vacation?" Then I found out why, you have to be 12 years old or younger....What a bummer, they should at least have like female mud wrestling or something at night for the adults or Spouse DEATH_MATCH in the mud...Come on Detroit you could sell tickets and beer and have live bands, kids during the day and adults at night...


Mud Days

COUNTY-WIDE: Annual day for kids to play in mud is Tuesday

The annual Wayne County Mud Day will kick off at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Hines Park Nankin Mills Picnic Area, on Hines Drive east of Ann Arbor Trail in Westland.

Children ages 12 and younger can participate.

The county mixes more than 200 tons of topsoil and 20,000 gallons of water to ensure that the mud is just right. Youngsters will be separated into categories based on age to participate in Mud Limbo and the wheelbarrow races. Mr. and Miss Mud also will be crowned.

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.

Well, we did the fourth right! We all had our flags out, oh, yea, they were already out. We had Hotdogs, and Hamburgers, and of course Apple Pie. The day was made happy by a drink I invented, which was named yesterday the "razillion brazutsi" It is a Raspberry-rum Lemonade. We also experimented with a little asti-spumante in the razillion and we made a "Yooster". These drinks are sure to become a staple at lush lane gatherings. The night was complete after a $320 light show, compliments of Mike...I know I am a complete firecracker wuss, but I was the biggest fan, when they were all done, and no one had been arrested, caught on fire, although Rodney came close, and no car or house burst into flames. :) I thought I would add the complete words to our national anthem here, so we can ponder the greatest of this hymn. Have a Great Day recovering from the fun. ********************************************************************




The Star-Spangled Banner

—Francis Scott Key, 1814

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.

O thus be it ever when free-men shall stand
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!
