Strange News!
Tylenol has a generic name of Acetaminophen.
Aleve is also called Naproxen.
Advil is also called Ibuprofen.
Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.
Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink". Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO.
Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

Yesterday we had a family get together and so I thought I would post an Ode to my favorite food.
RIBS!
What can I say about them. When you start eating you just can not stop. There is something about the tender goodness as it falls of the bone into you mouth that makes you dream about them.
My mother and her husband have mastered the art of the Rib. They were smoked for 5 hours then cooked for 2. They were saying to feed our family it took 20 lbs. of Ribs and 2 Gallons of sause.
But I will tell you. It was all worth the time.
Step over Chile's I want my Mothers Baby Back Ribs!!

We live in a world that is just too sad. A Pepsi guy drinking a Coke, what is the world coming to. We live in a world with no loyalty. Sports stars, company CEO's and customers. It is almost like we dont care about anything or anyone but ourselves. Everyone hates Walmart but yet everyone shops there. Now I understand the it is cheaper so we are forced to shop there. I just needed to vent for a moment.

I thought this was a funny story. I don't know if it is appropriate but I liked it. It reminds me of the joke in deperado.
A guy goes over to his friend's house, rings the bell, and the wife answers.
" Hi, is Tony home?"
" No, he went to the store."
"Well, you mind if I wait?"
" No, come in."
They sit down and the friend says "You know Nora, you have the greatest breasts I have ever seen. I'd give you a hundred bucks if I could just see one."
Nora thinks about this for a second and figures what the hell - a hundred bucks. She opens her robe and shows one. He promptly thanks her and throws a hundred bucks on the table.
They sit there a while longer and Chris says "They are so beautiful I've got to see the both of them. I'll give you another hundred bucks if I could just see the both of them together."
Nora thinks about this and thinks what the hell, opens her robe, and gives Chris a nice long look. Chris thanks her, throws another hundred bucks on the table, and then says he can't wait any longer and leaves.
A while later Tony arrives home and his wife says "You know, your weird friend Chris came over. "
Tony thinks about this for a second and says "Well did he drop off the 200 bucks he owes me?"
