It's A Good Day For Gnus - Please Dress Accordingly !

Nascar begins the 2009 racing season at the Daytona International Speedway Saturday night with the running of the Budweiser Shootout. A record 28 cars will start the race which begins at 8:00 p.m. on the Fox Channel. Dale Earnhardt Jr., is the defending champion of this race and will start the race from the ninth position. The race should be exciting and is the start of Speedweeks at Dayona culminating with the Daytona 500 on February 15th.

If you've never watched Nascar stock car racing, this week and next week will be a great and exciting opportunity to see how it works. Imagine, if you will, 43 cars racing three abreast, on a 2.5 mile banked super speedway at speeds of over 200 miles per hour. I assure you that you'll find the race very exciting.

In The News: Barry Bonds is in court again facing perjury charges that he lied about taking steroids. Despite the fact that his head and body have obviously grown since his younger playing days, he insists he has never "knowingly" taken steroids. Test results and sworn testimonies attesting to the fact that Bonds did indeed take steroids are now in jeopardy as there is a chance that the judge will not let the evidence be allowed. Another fine example of the government in action. I guess it's the new fashion that seems to be sweeping america.

Speaking of useless boobs, A woman named Sheyla Herschey claims to have the world's largest boobs measuring an astounding 38kkk. While I appreciate the novelty of those bad boys, Ms. Herschey will learn that sooner or later, gravity works and methinks she'll be wheeling those puppies around in a wheelbarrow in her later years.

As for boobs, the basic requirement that most men hope for is that women have 'em. It's not that we're culling tomatos here ladies. If you got 'em, you're in! Personally, I don't like implants unless they're medically indicated. Too much unnecessary cosmetic surgery is dangerous and stupid.

The Hits Just Keep On Coming:

Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy looking like he'd just been run over by a train. His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken, his face is bruised and he is walking with a limp. Sean the bartender says, "What happened to you?" Paddy says, "Jamie O'Conner and me had a fight." Sean says, "That little shit, O'Conner ? He couldn't do that to you, he must of had something in his hand."

Paddys says, "That he did. A shovel is what he had, and a terrible licking he gave me with it" Sean says, "You should have defended yourself, didn't you have something in your hand?" Paddy says, "That I did. It was Mrs. O'Conner's right breast, and a thing of beauty it was, but useless in a fight."

While attending a marriage seminar on communication, Wally and his wife Carolyn listened to the instructor declare, "It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other." He addressed the men, "Can you describe your wife's favorite flower?"

Wally leaned over, touched Carolyn's arm gently and whispered, "Pillsbury All-Purpose, isn't it honey?" And thus began Wally's life of celibacy....

A woman walked into a jewelry store and walked to the bracelet display. She saw an exquisite piece she liked and when she leaned over to see the bracelet more closely, she inadvertently passed gas. Embarrassed, she looked around quickly to see if anyone had heard the unfortunate event and when she turned around, a handsome young salesman approached her.

In a nervously attempt to diffuse the situation, she pointed to the bracelet and said to the salesman, "Young man, how much is that bracelet." The salesman replied, "Well lady, if you farted when you saw the bracelet, you're gonna shit when you hear the price."

That's it for today my little twenty-four carat wind passers. Have a safe and great weekend and more on Monday.
