Sammy was a 6'4" gay dude who loved to dress in drag. He had on a full length sequined gown and gold heels. One drunk dude pointed to him and slurs, "Damn! That's a big ol b!tch." Sammy responded, "You know it, honey!" The end.

ray of @ email: @: KP, the jolt wouldn't touch Paul Bunyan's heart in any meaningful way. Seriously, your heart could take it. Carry some benedryl as well. The combo shot and bolus dose of Benadryl might have prevented the swelling. Also, make sure the stinger is out--those things can pus up pretty quickly.

I know Nanette's company continues to think about expanding into the Chicago area - although all the University hospitals make it difficult. The cool thing is, they pay well, and will pay for your school if you simply agree to work for them (gee - and get paid well - anywhere you want to work? Tough decision :-)

Barrington around the corner from Walter Payton's old house on Mundhank) and so a house for $995k with a $19k tax bill...that continues to disuade us from ever moving out of our 1400 sq. ft. shack here in OC :-)

Use frequency over duration. Always use easy to steady as muscles will strengthen faster than connective tissues. At all costs, do less than you are able to each week to avoid aggravation or injury. Consistency rules. YOUR GOAL should be to establish routine. Use 20min runs, 30-45min bikes and three swims a week. Once you establish a routine (the hard part!) fitness will become an unintended by product. This type focus will allow you to side step the start/stop/start/stop BS.

vimp of nz email: @: The All Blacks mang. I got a serious case of rugby fatigue. I can't even watch it anymore. As a kid the All Blacks use to play for local clubs so you could go watch them on a Saturday afternoon. Now they don't. They used to play the Aussies or the South Africans once every three to four years so when it rolled around it was special. Now they play them three times per year. Too much rugby. Too much ruggerhead culture. Over the years there have been plenty of other world champions in NZ, but rugby gets all the funding and they still can't win the Rugby World Cup. And the NZ public complains about violent crime and drinking, yet love watching rugby and cheers the fights on the field followed by some huge amount afterwards. It's part of NZ I can't stand.
