Soy Products-"Making our Kids Gay"
He does go on to state that soy sauce is perfectly acceptable. "Unlike soy milk, it's perfectly safe because it's fermented, which changes its molecular structure. Miso, natto and tempeh are also OK, but avoid tofu."
In an effort to combat any any deviant soy or tofu effects, the Christian Coalition is encouraging parents to enrich their childrens' diets with whole milk, red meat, and other wholesome heterosexual-safe foods.
Stay tuned next week for Mr. Rutz's compelling research into the link between hummus and child pornography-"The Hidden Life of the Chickpea Freaks".

Suri, You Jest
Katie Couric's big premier as leading lady anchor for CBS.....which topic will she tackle first? Republican government gone bad, controversy in Iraq, U.S. oil crisis, paper vs. plastic....? Or perhaps, a sneak peak at that famous mystery baby that has kept us frantic with anticipation....stay tuned for more cutting edge reporting, America.
Go Monarchs!
The Sacramento Monarchs are only 1 win away from winning consecutive WNBA Championship titles (stay tuned for the big finish tomorrow night in Game 4). And, if you look closely in the pic, you can see my buddy Jess (Kara Lawson is conviently framing her head with an "L" shape). We know a real Monarchs fan we we see one!!
Hope everyone tunes into the game-these gals are awesome to watch, however, the league is still grossly lacking the support and recognition it deserves. Show 'em how it's done, ladies!!

Lake Getaway
Ahhh...nothing lake an escape to Smith Mountain Lake for the weekend. Ms. Ellie was kind enough to share her condo and boat with us. She also sends her belated apologies to the resident birds of Bernard's Landing (they are welcome to return to their peaceful setting now). Good weather, good friends, and lots of relaxation-couldn't have asked for more!

Weekend in Bath
Spent the weekend camping in Bath County. Also had fun tubing on the Cowpasture River (a very long, SLOW ride to say the least). For those of you who haven't had the pleasure, I highly recommend visiting Bath County for any type of outdoors adventure-beautiful country everywhere. Thanks to all of our Camp Nimrod buddies for the hospitality as always!

Welcome-You've Got Hate Mail
For those who have had the pleasure of actually cancelling an AOL account, finally someone has posted proof as to what the experience is like. I myself am a proud ex-AOL member, and believe me-I had the EXACT same experience as this guy. Check out his cancellation phone call here. Hey, AOL-"NO" means NO"!!!

Show Me the Water
But, you see, then me & Dugan thought we saw a snake-I told Dugan that Mommy hates snakes and that we needed to scare it away....next thing I knew, the snake was in the water and we HAD to chase it-right?
Sorry-Mommy. Maybe my medicine isn't all gone.. It really wasn't our fault...

Send in the Clowns
OK, enough already. Against my better judgement, for fear of giving her a second of extra attention...would someone please shut her up!
Is this a media ploy to distract our attention from the daily idiocracy in Washington? Did you think we wouldn't see that pitiful stunt pulled by Senator James Inhofe (R-OK)? Clean your closets, Senator....
By the way-I think Dick still has an opening in his hunting party-interested, Ann?

Gold Diggah Style
That's right....here they come. The team with the top handicap and now the team with the hottest shoes. This week was the debut of the official Diggah footwear-see how they shimmer! The shoes certainly did the trick too....the Diggahs were on fire. 3-3 for the night and team members set their personal records on top of it. Suffice it to say that there were heads turned and hopes of the season championship stripped from all attending. Beware the gold toes!!!

Summer is Here
Ahhhhh....nothing like beaches, the sound of ocean waves, and enjoying a fun libation by the waterside. My "Painkiller" started the weekend off just right. A quick stop in Duck, NC and we we now have made it to Avon, NC in the Outer Banks. Lots of fun here...visiting with old friends and playing LOTS of games. I have a new favorite card game now-cribbage! Look out friends-you will be forced to many hours of playing my new game now. :) Hate that it will all end tomorrow...alas, back to start my school days again (of yeah, and that nasty thing called work). Check in with ya later!

Auto Mechanics 101
So, as advertised, I took my car to the dealership for my "free" state inspection. Shortly thereafter, I got the dreaded phone call. It seems that they found some crack in my vehicle (NO-not in the glove box!!) According to the crack police, I was in big trouble. I'm not sure what a manifold is, or how you crack it....all I can tell you is that it's BAD. Perhaps the missing brake pads were related to the random crack?
In summary:
VA State inspection at the dealership: $0
Pack of nabs from the lobby: $0.75
Diet coke from the lobby: $2.00 (took 2 tries)
Price of VA State sticker: $872.00 (after repairs)
Being told you're busted for crack: PRICELESS
Easy on the manifold, y'all!

Notes from the Gold Diggahs
The injury report continues this week, unfortunately. Bill encountered multiple problems....he reported both sweaty balls and a "butt pull" (he assures me the two were unrelated, but a gal has to wonder...things that make you go hmmm). Aside from that, we all walked out on our own accord.
Stay tuned next week for a sneak peek at the Gold Diggahs custom team shoes-GO TEAM!! Tip for the night: "I see your Elvis and raise you a turkey."

Winey Weekend
This was a weekend devoted to the grapes.....from planting to indulging, there was fun to had by all. Saturday started with the annual "planting" festivities at a friend's vineyards. This year we planted/re-planted a stock of Cabernet. Also learned how to "rub" the grapevines as a finishing task. Sunday was enjoying the art of wine from the other side-drinking! We attended the Spring Open House at beautiful Chateau Morrisette. This is ALWAYS a great time-nothing beats a little hometown Cabernet Franc! Ellie also enjoyed flirting with the Black Dogs themselves. Do yourself a favor and visit this winery-gorgeous land and awesome people await you.

I have no doubts that the bar can only be raised next Wednesday night. Stay tuned for updates from Team Gold Diggahs ("I'm not saying we the..."). Tip for the night: It's all about the dots and arrows.

Rantings From Camp Dittohead
This fool never ceases to amaze me. What is most bothersome about Rush Limbaugh, is the seemingly large group of mindless followers that he has, otherwise know as "dittoheads". While I respect the need for diverse groups in our society, this particular one is a stretch for me.
During one of his recent programs, Capt. Dittohead referred to the alleged victim of a rape by members of the Duke University lacrosse team as a "ho". You be the judge....

Fear the Turtle
Not sure what all of the hype was about the Men's NCAA Championship....if you wanted true, edge of your seat action, it was all in Boston tonight. The Lady Terps rallied an awesome 13 point comeback and extended the play action into OT before nailing a 78-75 win over Duke. It was basketball (not just women's basketball) at it's best. Shout out to both teams for fine performances!!
Happy Birthday, Ellie!

Congratulations, Miss Ellie!
Ellie also continues her Search and Rescue training (which means lots of hide and seek games in the woods....big fun for a lab gal like Ellie). She is actually already very good at it....it's her mom that needs more training. :)

Voted Lately?
"And let me say in conclusion, thanks for the kids. I learned an awful lot about bathtub toys-- about how to work the telephone. One guy knows- several of them know their own phone numbers- preparation to go to the dentist. A lot of things I'd forgotten. So it's been a good day." - January 21, at aHead Start center in Catonsville, Maryland

Condi Seeks Running Mate
There has been much chatter about Rice entering the 2008 Presidential campaign. In an effort to repair the damage caused by her affiliation with the W. Administration, Condi has been spotted making several key alliances around the nation. When asked if he would consider being a 2008 running mate, Elmo declined any comment, but did comment that George W. "does not play nice with others". (In an episode of The Simpsons a parody of post-9/11 America, Elmo appeared in a political prison after supporting opponents of George W. Bush, he said, "Elmo go to wrong fundraiser.")

Holla!
Keeping in step with one of my favs, Ellen, I will periodically post Shout-Outs, or "Hollas" to those special people who just simply deserve it.
I am proud to give my first Holla to a best friend of many years-Jessica. From endless road trips, to roadside sleeping, to many "exposing" Harrisonburg adventures (Paul-here's your towel AND your spine!) I could ramble on about Jess, but in the essence of time (and privacy), please check out this wonderful article on her and Jazz......
