More Snakes and Toilets
Not to scare the Boston Bandit from ever going to the bathroom again, but here is another story about snakes and toilets, this time in New Jersey. Just click on the pic or here.
In case you wanted to make your own game movie - here are the instructions
I think the guys from Rooster Teeth were the first pioneers of making a movie using video games with Red vs Blue. But here is your very own Halo Movie Starter Guide.
Election 2004 Results
Red for 100% Republicans
Blue for 100% Democrats
Purple - somewhere in the middle.
This first map is interesting. There may be a lot of red and blue areas, but I was surprised to see how much purple is in this map. I was really surprised to see how purple Alaska is.

Here is a 3D version of the map. Height is voter density (voters per square mile) so that volume represents total number of voters.

Yup, Mike Brown can't manage
There is no doubt that the local government made mistakes concerning Katrina, and re-election will tell us what their voters think about their leadership. But I think what was stated at the Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing pretty much proves that Mike Brown was not capable of handling the Federal EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT Agency:WASHINGTON (AP) -- In the midst of the chaos that followed Hurricane Katrina, a Federal Emergency Management Agency official in New Orleans sent a dire e-mail to Director Michael Brown saying victims had no food and were dying.
No response came from Brown. Instead, less than three hours later, an aide to Brown sent an e-mail saying her boss wanted to go on a television program that night -- after needing at least an hour to eat dinner at a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, restaurant. Continued . . .

TERRORISED.. BY A 10FT TOILET SNAKE
Meet Keith...a 10ft boa constrictor who has been captured after popping up in the loos at a posh block of flats. The snake had terrified tenants since it was first spotted in a toilet last week, after living in sewage pipes for three months. People had to put bricks on their loo seats to stop the Keith slipping into their bathrooms.
You can find the rest of the story here.
Reading is FUNdamental
WifeGeeding is a kindergarten teacher and Reading is FUNdamental week is fast approaching. Yesterday she talked to our Dallas Cowboy neighbor Sean Ryan (practice squad) about being a guest reader in her classroom. He generously accepted. Sean is just a really cool guy, and HUGE. I would not want to tick him off. He also has the biggest pecs I have ever seen. Yes that sounds gay, but dang, their huge!
SisterGeeding in the movies
SisterGeeding has a bit part (non-speaking) in a Disney movie being filmed at Texas Stadium. The film is called Invincible and stars Mark Wahlberg and Greg Kinnear. She was suppose to be the water girl, but was later moved to a reporter and an extra in the stands. So far she is enjoying the experience, and mentions that Wahlberg likes to ride his moped during slow times around the field and abruptly corrected someone when he/she called him Marky Mark. Greg Kinnear is obsessed with cross-word puzzles.

Blogging Issues
I'm having some technical difficulties concerning the bag today. I'm having some problems posting (which is why it was a short post today) and I understand there is some trouble making comments.
Please bear with me.
Arkansas State's leading scorer is sitting out because he refuses to wear the teams' Adidas shoes.
But what cracks me up the most is the name of the head coach, which can be found in the second to last paragraph. You can read the article here.
Retired NFL Numbers
Chicago leads the list with a total of 13 retired numbers. The NY Giants are second with 11. And in case you are wondering, Walter Payton was not only the greatest running back in the NFL, but the greatest player in the history of the NFL.
In case you ever wanted to calculate a QB Rating, here is a QB Rating Calculator

And even though he didn't have the higest QB rating for a career, Montana is the best QB of all time.
In case you are wondering why on earth wifeGeeding stays married to me, it's because I have her programmed.

The Harriet And George Letters
The Smoking Gun has several letters from the two posted on its website. The only thing I can conclude and I steal this from The Smoking Gun, "the old gal loves exclamation points." "Sadly, the document dump did not include Miers's e-mail or IM messages, which are surely filled with loads of sappy emoticons."

Bring Back Jake Plummer's Mustache
To: Jake Plummer

In this topsy-turvy world there are few things all mankind can agree on. The sun is good, killing is bad and Jake Plummer has the most amazing mustache in the history of bewhiskered upper-lips. But, sadly, Plummer shaved said mustache late last week in a move that not only betrays all fashion sense, but also the entire United States of America.
Jake Plummer, please bring the mustache back. We, your countrymen and women, need it. Two hurricanes, rising gas prices and political divisiveness have torn our country apart. With your mustache, maybe we can begin the long process of healing. Without it, Jake, we as a society are doomed.
Sincerely,
