    Memorial Day
    That Guy says (14 Jun '10)

    What a beautiful day, what a wonderful weekend

    The Sun is out, no sign of rain even peeking

    The brew is flowing, and the food is grilling

    Got an award show today, and we are top billing

    I think time after time we take certain things for granted

    or maybe our ideals are off, or our views are slanted

    but really, oh really I plead with all of you today

    to give a minute to look back and helped make it this way

    The service men and women who have given their lives

    The families that have lost brothers, mothers, husbands and wives

    Yes its often overlooked, but I think that it is time we change

    Bring your family and friends together and just take a second to pray

    If praying is not your thing, there are some songs you can sing

    God Bless America, The Star Spangled Banner, Let Freedom ring

    On the real, God Bless all who have given their lives to keep this country free. God Bless the families who have lost loved ones, God Bless anyone who has lost a friend. These men and women put their lives on the line daily for us, doing missions, serving this country in ways we can not even imagine. I have lost 2 friends to war, and I hold a glass up everytime I am out celebrating.

    Peace

    P.S. Shirlee, you are a wombat

Re: octopus pics
this has nothing to do with anything, really, but thinking of pictures of octopus' (octopi?), made me think of an old Japanese woodcut print (Ukiyoe) from the 18th century. Many of these prints were pornographic ("shunga" or "spring pictures") in nature, and there is a famous hilarious one dealing with a woman and a daddy/son octopus team: http://hararie-japan-tokyo-tokyo.com/japanese_culture/assets_c/2009/08/A... (this pic is NSFW, obviously)

Octopus are slimy, and designed to do one thing....SUCK
