Hey - I know pigs can fly. I live in a city that has flying pig sculptures along the riverfront. The city's unofficial nickname is Porkopolis. I need to get out of this town.

It's a beautiful day out here!!
I think they've all read today's Travel section in the NY Times and are planning a trip to Oregon. Check out the Slide show. Used to live in a house facing east with Mt. Hood just outside my window and she looked just like that every morning. http://travel2.nytimes.com/2005/11/06/travel/06going.html
Oh, and normal people live here too, not just fancy dancy wannabes!! Powells books is the place! The best!!
or....... it's just a busy day!!

An exercise for the brain....
An exercise for the brain....
As it seems to be quiet today, you might like to waste your time with the following "brain exercises" !!! No cheating by looking down for the answers!!!
*************************************
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert. The saying; "If you don't use it, you will lose it," also applies to the brain, so.....
Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence. Take the following test and determine if you are losing it or are still "with it.."
OK, relax, clear your mind and.... begin.
1. What do you put in a toaster?
Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," then give up now and go do something else. Try not to hurt
yourself. If you said, "bread," go to Question 2.
2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows drink?
Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," please do not attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously over stressed and may even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading something more appropriate, such as Children's World. If you said ?water," proceed to question 3.
3. If a red house is made from red bricks, and a blue house is made from blue bricks, and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?
Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said, "green bricks," what the devil are you still doing reading these questions????? If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.
4. Twenty years ago, a plane was flying at 20,000 feet over Germany.
If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines failed. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the third engine fails before he has time to attempt an emergency landing, and the plane crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany.
Where would you bury the survivors? In East Germany or West Germany or in ?no man's land"?
Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated . If you said, Don't bury the survivors," proceed to the next question.
5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?
Answer: One degree. If you said, "360 degrees" or anything other than "one degree," you are to be congratulated on getting this far, but you are obviously out of your league. Turn in your pencil, and exit the room. Everyone else proceed to the final question.
6. Without using a calculator --You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus, and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmarthen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven.
What was the name of the bus driver?
Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember? It was YOU!! Now pass this along to all your "friends" and hope they do better then you did!

You're just trying to get a sex thread started aren't you?
SEX!!!!! Did I read SEX????????
Funny you should bring up PIGS.
This week-end is our 8th annual Pig Fest in Richland, Georgia. This year?s event is in honor of and in appreciation of all the military both past and present for the many sacrifices they have made for the cause of freedom. We plan on giving out "goody bags" to the first 100 GIs and have special shirts for at least 300.
The event is centered around the ?Memphis in May Barbeque Network?. Professional barbecue cook teams will cook up various parts of the hog, the whole leg, the shoulders or the ribs. In 2004 we had 30 cook teams, including most of the top 20 cook teams in the nation. There is also a full carnival with Midway rides. We will have street dances both Friday and Saturday night.
The wife and her sister will each have craft booths during both days. The wife makes "pocket blankets". They look like a pillow when folded up and when used as a throw you put your feet in the pocket to keep your feet warm. She also has several other items. Her sister makes custom handbags and totes.
Even flying pigs can be brought down with a shotgun, just don't stand directly under them. They sure cook up GOOOOOD too . However, them wings ain't as good as the one's buffalos have.
May God Bless,
Danny

Well, I am almost singlehandedly got the site on full alarm this afternoon.
I was going to post a patriotic picture to go with my "Where in the World are VR members" post, and thought I had found one with a picture of an American flag. I wasn't sure if there was a mention of the 4th of July holiday, so after I attached it, I checked to see what it was showing.
My oh My! Some pervert on this site (hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, wonder who That could be?) had sent a 4th of July flag that after about two seconds changes to a picture of a nude HOTTIE guy with the flag draped strategically around him!
Oh My Gosh! Did I ever start editing that picture out of that post!
I think Ross would have banned me immediately if he had seen it. It was a close call!
BTW, any of the ladies want to see the pic, let me know and I'll be glad to send it.
