Joke of the Month:

A very, very, unattractive women is in the grocery store.  She goes up to the checkout counter and clerk notices she has two kids with her.

The clerk asks, "Are those your kids?"

The lady replies, "Yes they are."

The clerk asks, "Are they twins?"

The lady says, "Why no, they are three years apart, do they look like twins?"

The guy replies, "No, I just can't believe somebody screwed you twice!"

Al-A-Qaeders attack!
From this Blog Entry

Alligators kill 3 in Florida in one week

News release: After 3 deaths of humans by alligators in Florida in the last week, the Bush administration and the Department of Homeland Security have raised the "Alligator Terrorist threat level" to code periwinkle.

It has been determined that these are specially trained Al-A-Qaedaors . Not to be confused with the domestig Alligator.

One of the terrorist Al-A-Qaeders has been spotted in a remote pond in Timbucktoo. An immediate offensive of 25 B-2 Stealth Bombers and the 152nd Walmart division of the National Guard have been dispatched to protect us Americans from this threat.

The Department of Homeland Security has issued these safety tips to avoid being attacked by the terrorist Al-A-Qaeders.

1. By ducttape

Dick Cheneys' Haliburton company will shortly be coming into the area under a 2 billion dollar contract to rebuild the swamp that was drained to catch this Al-A-Qaeder.

Movie Reviews:

X-men III

After seeing this installment I need to go back and watch the first two to see if this was the best one!  As far as action I believe this may have been the best in the series.  Well, except for that scene with Nightcrawler attacking the President in X-II, that is still my favorite scene.

If you haven't seen this move, don't do like I did.  STAY UNTIL AFTER THE CREDITS!

It's hard to picture after the events of this movie that there will be another X-men movie.  If there is it would be hard to top this one after some of the events that happened in this one.  There are a few things that happen in this story that will be sure to catch you by surprise.

This is one of those rare movies I can actually see myself going to see again.  I would rank this as a great 'guy' type of flick.  Don't know if women will get into the way they can with the Spiderman movies. There really isn't much of a 'love interest' story line in this movie.  I think this movie was based on the notion that you had seen the first two movies so there really wasn't a need to develop the characters and explain who they are.

I was also pleasantly surprised with job that Kelsey Grammer did as The Beast.

My recommendation:

Definitely a guy flick. Under 30 male or a 'nerd' then this is a must see movie!
