The GUILD 4-1-2002 Fools Rush In

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Thank you. I used to be a press photographer for a newspaper, so I always had loads of cameras with me. One day while driving home I passed that farm. I loved the fog rising off of the fields and the setting sun, so I got out of the car. The horses started moving towards each other and I was quietly whispering ' touch, touch, touch'. When they did I put my autowinder in gear and snapped off about 20 pictures.

It's one of my personal favorites.

That's the kind of responses we need more of! Silly threats, "Be enviromentally positive or else" need to be fought and fight dirty to win.

Be proud of yourself for that great response!

[B4Ranch]

2nd thought. Why tell them you are armed? That takes away some of the advantage?

Some might give this its own thread, but I'll refrain. Just a little "news to amuse":

LONDON, Ontario -- Would you like anything else with your double-double, sir -- perhaps some pants?

That's what the drive-through clerk at Corunna's Tim Hortons could have asked two men when they ordered their coffee and Tim Bits [donuts] in the nude.

Lambton OPP said two men pulled off the prank and their pants twice in the past two weeks. Both times, the men were passengers in the back seat of a car when they placed their food orders. Both times, the driver pulled up far enough so the clerk would have to deal with the naked passengers.

Police traced the car's licence plate and have charged a 21-year-old Mooretown man and a 22-year-old Corunna man with indecent acts. They will appear -- hopefully fully clothed -- in Sarnia court May 6. source

Police traced the license plate, but I reckon they also could have looked for a man with powdered sugar on his *ahem* "lap."

It's amazing what a hot cup of coffee will do to a nudist. Just the threat of it is enough to make them quit being smart asses.

It's a Barn Swallow. He wants to nest inside our home.

Has it occurred to you he might be looking at himself in the glass? I have a Towhee which comes back year after year to stare into the glass door to my back deck. He actually bangs into it. I've always assumed he was "attracted" to himself in the glass. This morning I got proof. I walked out the door on the other side of the house and there he was, perched on the door of my car, admiring himself in the side mirror! LOL! This poor guy will never "get some" at this rate!

Have you read the book SEABISCUIT?. It is a non fiction book but reads like a novel and it is not just for horseracing fans. I loved it and learnt things about horses.

Hmm...wonder if new hubby had anything to do with Liza evicting her step-mother?

Performer Liza Minnelli smiles onstage at the Royal Albert Hall in London Tuesday April 2, 2002. Minnelli is in London to do four shows at the Hall. The 94-year-old stepmother of Liza Minnelli sued the performer for elder abuse and breach of contract, claiming her stepdaughter has neglected her. The lawsuit filed Tuesday, April 2, 2002, in Superior Court claims Lee Anderson Minnelli was guaranteed housing in the will of her late husband, Vincente Minnelli. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant)

Hubby and I thought he might liked looking at himself on the windows, but we've been watching him carefully for the past 2 weeks. (You can't miss him, that peeping tom,LOL). He will actually pull on the screens with his littl feet and make the screens go "Bong" "Bing." Quite aggravating at 6AM on saturaday morning, LOL. What is so cute, is when he stands on the door knob and looks into the living room. No doubt he enjoys looking at himself too, but it really looks like he wants to come in. What does a Towhee look like? maybe he's a Towhee? Aren't these guys cute? I swear, early in the morning, my back yard sounds like an avery at the zoo. All those birds can get very loud, HA!

[Endeavor]

You just reminded me that I have that book, but no, I haven't read it yet. I've heard it is very good. Perhaps I'll dig it out tonight and get started - with the news these days, I could use a diversion. Thanks, DaisyS

[daisyscarlett]

Oh please do read it and let me know what you think, it dispelled so many conceptions I had about horses.

I CAN believe she wrote it and I wasn't snickering, I was laughing out loud!! The Clinton Rehabilitation Project was doomed before it began. X42 is no longer relevant, and we who couldn't stand him before haven't changed our minds, we're just grateful he is not in a position to do any more damage!

[pubmom]

Tea, my mom lives in the woods, and she's had trouble with birds crashing into her large picture window and sliding glass door. I'm told they think that they are seeing another bird, and try to get to it. That might explain why he's trying so hard to remove your screen.

HLL, I loved your photo of the horses!

What a day it's been! My ISP was down all day, and I wanted to place a bid on EBay. The auction ended before I could get there. Grrrrrr!

We have a peeping tom! It's a Barn Swallow.

Hey! The Chimney Swifts returned to my home yesterday. Click here to hear what we hear every morning and evening. The first Spring we were in this house I thought a bird had become trapped in the chimney. They make alot of noise for such small birds and it drives the cats crazy! hehe!

We had the neatest thing happen a few weeks ago. I was zipping around that morning when I noticed one of the cats who had been doing the "let me in, let me out" dance was looking to come in again. She can wait I thought to myself, then I notice that she's all puffed up and looking nervous. Right about then this huge bird soared right over the pool. Thought to myself, that's an awfully big hawk (we have a couple of pairs that hang around) then it swooped by again and perched on a limb in a tree in the yard. I couldn't believe my eyes, it was an adult bald eagle! And he was checking out my cat! She looked most grateful to get inside again. I've never seen one in person that close before, magnificent he was!

Coulter wrote: "he was a lying, unscrupulous traveling salesman"

To say the least! She was uncharacteristically understated, but of course she's right, Clinton's attempted rehabilitation with the kind assistance of Newsweek magazine is a joke. Has any commentator who isn't Carville not cringed over the statement that pardoning Marc Rich was a mistake because it made him - Clinton - look bad, irrespective of whether it was morally, ethically and legally improper? We still can despise Clinton for his lies, his crimes, all the damage he did to this nation, but now we can laugh at him as the buffoon he is.

Oh, that was a good article Endeavor, thanks!

I swear watching that reprobate squirm is almost as good as seeing him behind bars. What is it, about every couple of weeks some kneepad sporting sycophant comes out to give CPR to blubba's legacy? But alas, they're out of luck. You just can't breathe life into NOTHING! LOL!!

And was it last Monday that President Bush, Gov. Pataki and Mayor Bloomberg gathered at the White House to give Governors Island to NYC for schools? Whoops! No hillary in sight!!! Hehehehehe, that must have frosted her cookies!

SEN. Hillary Rodham Clinton keeps saying she doesn’t covet her old White House digs, but one of her key aides may soon move to Iowa -where all presidential dreams are born. The Post’s Vincent Morris has learned that Clinton spokeswoman Karen Dunn, who helped get her elected and is her chief D.C. spokesman, is eager to quit Hillary’s office and work for Iowa Democratic Gov. Tom Vilsack. For Clinton, having Dunn by Vilsack’s side in Iowa would be a big help in a White House campaign. But Dunn seemed to backtrack last night, claiming she’s not that interested in moving to the Hawkeye State. Page Six

Ugh.

SEN. Hillary Rodham Clinton keeps saying she doesn’t covet her old White House digs,

Uh yeah, right. If anyone believes that I have property in the Everglades I'd like to sell them.

I almost wish that hill would try a run against President Bush. It would give me untold amounts of glee to watch her get stomped into the ground!
