HUMOR – Three Princes

Michelle got this in her e-mail tonight:

Once upon a time there lived a king. The king had a beautiful daughter, the princess. But there was a problem. Everything the princess touched would melt. No matter what; metal, wood, stone, anything she touched would melt.

Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her.

The king despaired.

What could he do to help his daughter?

He consulted his wizards and magicians. One wizard told the king, “If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured.”

The king was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man that could bring his daughter an object that would not melt would marry her and inherit the king’s wealth.

Three young princes took up the challenge.

The first prince brought a sword of the finest steel. But alas, once the princess touched it, it melted. The prince went away sadly.

The second prince brought diamonds. He thought diamonds are the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once the princess touched them, they melted. He too was sent away disappointed.

The third prince approached. He told the princess, “Put your hand in my pocket and feel what is in there.” The princess did as she was told, though she turned red. She felt something hard. She held it in her hand. And it did not melt!!!

The king was overjoyed. Everybody in the kingdom was overjoyed. And the third prince married the princess and they both lived happily ever after.

Question:
What was in the prince’s pants?

M&M’s of course. They melt in your mouth, not in your hand.

And Your Here Because?

Sarah needs a new title. I need a new layout. Will it make that much of a difference to you? There aren’t many sites that I look at on the `net (I just don’t have the time), but the ones I do it’s strictly due to content. Whether it’s cool photos, great writing, good music or just new faces, I might have a comment about the design, but I certainly wouldn’t stop visiting a site because of it.

I know a lot of sites out there have excellent design, MUCH better than anything I do here. But then a lot of sites have nothing to say, but “WOW, look at the really kewl design I made” or “Brand new layout – Woot!” If that’s all a site has to offer my interest is lost pretty quick.

Sarah’s site reminds me of those yummy chocolate oranges my Mom has over the holidays. Who cares about the shiny foil wrapper? It’s all about the chocolate baby.

Today’s Key Phrases

Hmmm… so searches for my site aren’t as clever as “slimy gross nasty soup pictures“, but I thought I’d share a few of today’s successful search phrases:

snowball fight
femme fatal
happy drunks
kangaroo
jumping away
cat with beer
gotcrack
punk kittens
lake lewisville party pics
largest identity theft in history
john madden impersonations

or

It was the largest identity theft in history. It took place amidst some happy drunks who gotcrack just in time to see a kangaroo jumping away from this femme fatal slam-dancing which probably made for some great lake lewisville party pics, but then punk kittens doing john madden impersonations only make sense to a cat with beer recovering from last night’s snowball fight.

Tuesday…

Marcus & SamanthaWOW. This day is going by really fast. I blinked and it’s already past 3pm? Damn… okay here’s my quick Thanksgiving summary:

Michelle & I had an enjoyable time down in Corpus Christi. It’s always nice to get out of town and visits with her sister’s family are relaxing from the standpoint that Rudy & Diana don’t have a computer or even talk about the Internet and the twins do something new each day. Marcus & Samantha are almost a year & half old, but they are already walking AND running. Even the smallest increase in motor skills or mental capacity brings cheers & hollers and I have to say, being there you can’t help but get caught up in the excitement.

Staying in Corpus also means baseball, specifically Michael’s pony league games. Michelle’s family has some great athletic genes. Michael just turned 10 and you can already tell what a natural athlete he is. Add the discipline his father brings to every practice session and Michelle’s nephew might very well be the Tiger Woods of baseball. Case in point, out of three games played last weekend the two Michael didn’t pitch his team lost 14-2 & 14-0. The one game he did pitch the team won 9-2. He wasn’t even playing for his regular team. Too bad the coaches didn’t listen when Rudy said “My son is a pitcher”. Ah, the politics of the PTA circuit.

Michael throws a strike!

So all-in-all our weekend was good. I didn’t think about the `net while we were gone, but a lot of stuff happened eh?

Can you believe Tony can’t get his book printed? He was told his book was obscene and anti-American. WTF? Tony says the book may not make it out until after Christmas. Too bad, I wanted some reading on the long flight up to Detroit over the holiday.

OK, I’ve work to do. More posts later.

Are We There Yet?

So it only took twelve hours to get home from Corpus Christi. That’s about four hours more than Michelle or I needed this evening. Not only did we miss tonight’s episode of Alias, but we literally parked on the highway for 30 minutes increments all the way from San Antonio `til Dallas.

I thought about ranting on this subject at great length, but I’m just pissed and quite frankly exhausted from the drive. Tomorrow should be a better day.
