TASER TANTRUMS!!!

You may already be aware that Taser the company that manufactures those "fun for all the family" electroshock weapons that use electrical current to "disrupt voluntary control of muscles"had filed a Law Suit against Linden Labs. Citing that Linden Lab and others had damaged their companies sales and brand by allowing the sale of Taser like "weapons" inworld.

Well turns out that this media attention piece of showboating has been pulled by Taser, although they did use those wonderful words "without prejudice" (which basically warns that they can file again if they see fit) when they pulled.

To be perfectly honest....I was stunned @ this lawsuit in the first place, surely whoever made the decision had tested that Taser's "take down power" one too many times. Don't get me wrong, I understand the need for copywriting and image rights etc but geez , whats next? Plastic Surgeons suing because Prim Boobs are doing them out of a living!!!?

Here is a sampling of Washington Post's Mensa Invitational which once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are some of the winning entries:

1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.

2. Ignoranus : A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

3. Intaxicaton : Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

4. Reintarnation : Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

5. Bozone ( n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

6. Foreploy : Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.

7. Giraffiti : Vandalism spray-painted very, very high

ARE YOU A MOON LANDING CONSPIRACY THEORIST? BUZZ WANTS A WORD!!

July the 20th 2009 will be the 40th anniversary of humankind first setting foot on the moon.

July 20th 1969 at 4:17pm EDT Neil Armstrong took that famous “small step” from the Eagle LEM and placed the first human footprints on the dusty surface of our closest celestial neighbour.

But were those footprints actually placed on the moon OR, as some would have us believe, were they all part of an elaborate hoax.

Why are so many of the official NASA photographs showing inconsistent shadows and lighting?

Why does an American flag appear to wave on the surface of the moon where no atmosphere exists?

Did Stanley Kubrick agree to produce a “fake” film of the “landings”.

ARE YOU MAD????? OF COURSE THEY LANDED ON THE MOON!!!!!! BECAUSE BUZZ ALDRIN SAYS SO!!!!!” And here is how he deals with those that disagree:

FOURTH OF JULY FUN FACTS!!!!!

A time for backyard barbeques, fun with family and friends and some FUN FACTS from Alexxa!!! Hope all of you enjoy these tiny tidbits of trivia!

DID YOU KNOW?

Although we do not have a fixed menu for the celebration of the Fourth, you can almost count on traditional favorites such as hamburgers and hot dogs, chicken, ribs, garden salads, potato salad, chips and watermelon. Just to give you an idea of where all these yummy things are coming from:

* There's a 1-in-6 chance the beef on your backyard grill came from Texas. The Lone Star State is the leader in the production of cattle and calves.

* The chicken on your barbecue grill probably came from one of the top broiler-producing states: Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama, North Carolina and Mississippi.

* The lettuce in your salad or on your hamburger probably was grown in California, which accounts for nearly three-quarters of USA lettuce production.

* Fresh tomatoes in your salad most likely came from Florida or California, which when combined, produced more than two-thirds of U.S. tomatoes.

* The ketchup on your hamburger or hot dog probably came from California, which accounted for 95 percent of processed tomato production last year.

* As to potato salad or potato chips or fries, Idaho and Washington produces about one-half of the nation's spuds.

* For dessert, six states — California, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Arizona and Indiana — combined to produce about 80 percent of watermelons last year.

Anyone want to come to my house? RIBS are on the menu....YUMMMMY!

The British are Coming!!

* These days, this cry applies to tourists rather than "redcoats." Nearly 5 million tourists from the UK visited the United States in a recent year, more than from any other country except Japan.

* $74 billionDollar volume of trade last year between the United States and the United Kingdom, making the U.K., our adversary in 1776, our sixth-leading trading partner today.

Here's Tribe, wishing all those who celebrate, a Happy and Safe Fouth of July!!!!
