Here is my response to all my cheese-head "friends" that sent me the powerpoint showing how full Lambeau would be on January 20 and how empty Soldier Field would be.

Lambeau has never looked so good!

Third TYNES A Charm

In dramatic fashion NY Giants Kicker Lawrence Tynes makes the game winning field goal in overtime to send the NY Giants to Super Bowl XLII. Tynes missed a field goal with 6:49 left that would have put the Giants up by 3.

He then missed a 36 yard field goal with four seconds left in regulation.

The Giants will face off against the undefeated New England Patriots in a game set for history.

This marks the first time in history that two QB brothers have made it to consecutive Super Bowls.

The Patriots will attempt to close their season with yet another win and be the first team in NFL history to go 19-0. (The 1972 Dolphins also went undefeated but finished the season 17-0.)

VA - Keep Your Rubber Balls At Home

Richmond, VA - State Del. Lionel Spruill introduced a bill Tuesday that would ban the display of rubber testicles dangling from motorized vehicles.

The idea came from a constituent whose young daughter spotted an example of the trail hitch adornment and asked her father to explain it

"'I didn't know what to tell her,'" Spruill said the constituent told him before Spruill vowed to stop such displays.

"I said, 'Sir, I'm going to be a laughingstock, but I'm going to do it,'" he said.

Spruill plans on bringing the $24.99 set of trailer testicles with him for a legislative show and tell.

"I'm going to do it," Spruill told a handful of reporters after Tuesday's House session adjourned. "I'm going to bring them out here and show them to you till they tell me to stop."

In other related news......

Due to lack of campaign funds and press coverage Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani plans to employ a new strategy to gain more air time. Giuliani will mend the whizzinator to the bottom of his pant leg and walk with noticeable limp.

Guilty By Association

Continuous education is a huge part of my life. I'm constantly trying to learning new things by reading, listening to CD's or attending seminars.

Anytime I learn something new, two things happen.

1) I want to share it with the world
2) I learn that there is so much more that I have yet to learn

You still following me? Good. Please continue.

I was reading a recent post on Mike Litman's blog and it reminded me of an old tale from Aesop's Fables.

The tale is shown below.

-------------------------------
"The Ass and his Purchaser"

A man who wanted to buy an Ass went to market, and, coming across
a likely-looking beast, arranged with the owner that he should be
allowed to take him home on trial to see what he was like. When he
reached home, he put him into his stable along with the other asses.
The newcomer took a look round, and immediately went and chose a place
next to the laziest and greediest beast in the stable. When the master
saw this he put a halter on him at once, and led him off and handed
him over to his owner again. The latter was a good deal surprised to
seem him back so soon, and said, "Why, do you mean to say you have
tested him already?" "I don't want to put him through any more tests,"
replied the other. "I could see what sort of beast he is from the
companion he chose for himself."

Moral of the story: "A man is known by the company he keeps."

-------------------------------

Mike touches on this topic in his recent posting entitled "Soaking in the Wrong Information.

I see Mike Litman as a mentor and I truly believe that he can teach us so much. So, I encourage you to check out Mike's recent posting and join his online community.

Thanks for being you!
