Everyone needs to take the time and read this... This is a chain letter....

=== message ===
Everyone needs to take the time and read this. Just take a break from all your other stupid bulletins about who is gonna die or if your love life will suck for 7 years and be serious and do the right thing. Repost this or you have no soul seriously. A kid needs our help so do the right thing.
Hi my name is Matt Dawson. I am 23 years old, and I have a large tumor on my brain and severe lung cancer. The doctors say I will die soon if this isn't fixed, and my family can't pay the bills. "The Make A Wish Foundation" has agreed to donate 7 cents for every time this message is reposted. For those of you who repost, I thank you so much. But for those who don't repost it, I will still pray for you. Please, if you are a kind person, have a heart. Please, please, PLEASE REPOST THIS MESSAGE!
Matt Dawson
702-355-6198 Home
Please feel free to call me for anything.
hey it wont cost you but 10 seconds of your life

Lets think about this for a little bit...


--- There is no such number... try doing a reverse look up on this number by ausing anywho it does not exist. Even if it were an unlisted number you can still prove that it is not a real number. The Area Code is for lower Nevada... The second three digits are the prefix and these coincide with the ones in Las Vegas.

--- So if there was such a person who did have this number in Las Vegas, Nevada, they probably don't anymore... They would have been inundated with so many "get well" soon phone calls he would have had to change his number...

--- Have you tried to call the number? Do you know anyone who has?

--- There is no way any foundation is going to be able to check up on how often this message is reposted, e-mailed or anything else. mySpace might be able to check, but even for them it would be very difficult.

--- There is no in-obtrusive way for you to check this. There is no website where you can check how Matt Dawson is doing. So you have to call someone at home - with the risk of intruding on their dying process or their healing process. Either way: not a good idea. Since there is no way of checking when the message was sent for the first time, you also have no way of checking whether it is still relevant - if it even was relevant to begin with.

--- The Make a Wish Foundation does have a website and actually warns against this kind of chain letter...

In conclusion I know we all want to be good people but let us not get abused because of our generosity.

Everyone knows that the there will be a Transformers movie that is going to be released in 2007. What I am hoping to be the first to report in my little group of friends is that there has been announced a new Voltron: Defender of the Universe movie. Apparently two guys at New Line bought the right Voltron and then brought the project to Mark Gordon. This guy did do Speed so it should be a good film... It just will not have a good cast. He also did The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Which I was not to crazy about... Bring on the flame war... Fish once said that I expect every film to be great that's why I do not like so many films... But come on look at LXG it was lame... The only character who had any depth was Dorian Gray and he had the smallest part of all the main characters. Stuart Townsend is a good actor... He would have been a lousy Aragorn but still. The truth of the matter is that I do not expect every movie to be great but I do expect them to be interesting... Come on $10.00 for a damn movie ticket. Let me tell you... If I spend ten dollars on a movie... That is no longer two hours of entertainment... that is an investment into the Hollywood industry.

Back to Voltron... It appears that Voltron is a very lucrative commodity to have the movie rights to... It has generated $750 million in worldwide licensing and nearly $200 million in toys and merchandising since 1984. For the record... the Lions were the best Voltron. Followed by the space ships with the vehicles as a very distant third... after all it took 15 people to make vehicle Voltron. One person would get a hangnail and the world was in jeopardy because they could not assemble to make the robot.

So here it goes... two giant robot pictures from the 1980's. Now that we have Transformers and Voltron all we need is the Thundercats. [Note: They are going to release the Tundercats on DVD soon.] [On totally unrelated news... My birthday is coming up.] If they do make a Thundercats movie, it could either complete the holy Trinity of my child hood. Or it could be the trifecta from hell. Why is are all of my childhood dreams being destroyed... Why not make a He-Man movie next... They can have Calista Flockhart play Skeletor. For those of you who do know know how this movie will work.. It will be something like this
1. I'll form the head!
2. Form blazing sword!
3. ???
4. Profit!

They could make this more permanent. Such as "Voltron Office Of Home Land Security."

Bastards... While you're at it, go back in time and kick my dog, slash my bike tires, and burn down my fort. I swear this movie ticket better come with 20 hours of free therapy. Anyone who watched the show knows that it was basically the same thing every week... and that was to kill the beast thing with sword. And there were so many recycled action sequences it was not even funny. This movie is going to suck but you know what... I am going to watch it anyway... And you know what... I will probably like it... Damn you inner child. And for anyone who knows me knows that when I say Inner child I mean the whole Von Trapp family.

I have provided a good picture in the music link to show how Transformers are NOT as cool as Voltron... Let the flame war begin... Also the following link provides one of the funnies Voltron movies I have ever seen... It takes a while to download but I swear it is totally worth it... [note there might be an error message when it tries to play in media player... Just hit YES.]

p.s. I am going to slap the first small child, with a hockey stick, that gets it wrong and says that Voltron is a just like Power Rangers.

NOTHING lasts forever.

That said, many items are less obvious than the spoiled milk in your fridge — there's no expiration date or other obvious signs they have outlived their use. So how long should you let your stuff linger before replacing it? He is what the experts have to say about a "best by" date for, well, just about everything:

Air Filters
Replace after: Six months
Why: Filters become clogged with dirt and other particles, reducing the energy efficiency of your heating and cooling systems.

Computers
Replace after: Four years
Why: Unless you're using your computer for very basic functions (i.e., word processing), technology will have likely advanced enough that you need a significant upgrade. Rather than trying to put a new processor into an old computer, you're typically better off buying new. With laptops, there isn't much you can do to upgrade them and upgrading your desktop is possible, but unless you're a technology whiz, that process can be as expensive as buying a new computer (and infinitely more complicated).

Cosmetics
Replace after: Three months to two years
Why: Microbe growth in makeup can cause skin irritations and infections. The worst offenders are liquid cosmetics, which build up bacteria more quickly. Keep mascara for a maximum of three months; other liquids and creams (eyeliner, foundation) for no more than a year. Powders (eyeshadow, blush) can be used safely for up to two years.

Fire Extinguishers
Replace after: 10 to 12 years
Why: The pressurized contents of a fire extinguisher de-pressurize over time. Eventually, it just becomes a block of 'stuff' inside the cylinder rendering it useless in fighting fires. Extinguishers can deteriorate faster if left in a high-humidity environment. Check your extinguisher on a monthly basis for corrosion, a sure sign air is leaking out.

Mattresses
Replace after: Seven years
Why: Mattresses wear out over time. One that sags or is uneven won't keep your spine in line as you sleep, which means you may have trouble sleeping. It's likely you'll also experience neck and back pain while awake. There's also an ick factor to old mattresses — they collect dust, dirt and allergens that can't be removed.

Perfume
Replace after: Two years
Why: Exposure to light, heat and air lighten and alter perfume notes. It weakens the scent.

Pillows
Replace after: Two years
Why: Pressure on the pillow as you sleep causes it to flatten, and develop uncomfortable bumps and lumps. To test if your pillow still has life in it fold it in half and rest your hand on top for 30 seconds. Then let go. If the pillow pops back, it's fine. If it remains folded, it's time to buy a new one.

Running (and Walking) Shoes
Replace after: 300 to 500 miles run
Why: Foam-like material in the mid-sole of the shoe stops bouncing back. You lose the shock-absorbing capacity. And that can lead to heel and arch pain, or even stress fractures. Judge how much life is left in your shoes by the way they feel. When a running shoe becomes uncomfortable, it's time to toss it. You can lengthen the life of your running shoes, by alternating between two pairs. That gives the foam mid-sole time to decompress between runs.

Smoke Alarms
Replace after: 10 years
Why: Constant stress on a smoke detector's sensors from particles in the air — everything from cigarette smoke to pet dander to pollen — render it unreliable. Its ability to sense smoke deteriorates. The result will be one of two extremes: either the smoke detector will sound the alarm for just about anything, or it won't go off at all.

Spices
Replace after: One year
Why: Dried herbs and spices lose their flavor over time Whole spices, such as star anise or coriander, may last slightly longer — less of the spice is exposed to the air. To tell if your spices are past their prime, open the bag or jar and take a whiff. If there's no scent, there won't be any flavor.

Toothbrushes
Replace after: Three months
Why: Toothbrush bristles frayed from use remove plaque less effectively than those of a new brush. Swapping out your brush will also limit exposure to bacteria that build up on the bristles.

Dear Toshiba

I am trying to get another copy of my operating system disk but I can not seem to find anyone who will give this to me. I have a Toshiba Satellite (model Number A75-S2112). I called customer service and she told me that it would cost 44 dollars. Why is it so expensive for another copy of this disk? I have already paid for a license for Windows Home edition. I just need the disk. You can not tell me that it costs you 44 dollars to press another copy of this disk and ship it to me. AOL sends out disks by the truck load and they don't charge 44 dollars. I am sorry if I seen annoyed but the woman on the other line seemed content on charging me 44 dollars until she stated that I cold get the slower delivery price for 39 dollars. She seemed like she was trying to con me. I have tried to to send you an email but it keeps asking me for my customer number. That is a great way in telling me that I am not prepared to speak with you becuase I do not have this number.

Thank you for your time in this matter.

25 Things You’ve Always Wanted to Say at Work

01. I can see your point, but I still think you're full of shit.
02. I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a fuck.
03. How about "never"? Is "never" good for you?
04. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying.
05. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.

07. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.

11. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.
12. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.

14. I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
15. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!?
16. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.
17. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.
18. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.

Choosing a wife

A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon gets her hair done, new make up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her.

Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs.

Fun in Math Class

Casio is now celebrating their billionth calculator leaving the production line. Now everyone remembers the fun they used to have on the basic calculators.

Everyone was making rude and funny words and nobody was paying attention to the teacher. You write something. Turn the thing upside down and you laugh your head off. A spokesman for Casio said: "Casio calculators have always been at the cutting edge of technology - but they are great fun as well, as every schoolboy and girl knows. Well in honor of Casio's great achievement. I provide you with the 5 greatest Calculator words ever.

1. Boobies (5318008)

3. Boogie (316008)

Wait and watch the W Watch

So W just went to Albania and received a hero's welcome. You can see in the video bellow how much they love that guy. But then again... what do they know. Seriously they are all over him. They are giving him hugs and giving him kisses. Why do they get to be that close. The American public can't even ask him questions let alone get that close. So what happens... W gets his watch stolen... thats right... watch the video and you will see. Not that I can blame the Albanians... Those Mickey Mouse watches are hard to find. The best part about all of this... W denies that his watch was stolen... According to the White House he gave it to his Secret Service staff. "It is not true," said Albania's police director, Ahmet Prenci. I don't get why the criminal is so hard to find. Just look for the the Albanian carrying his balls in a wheelbarrow. Thats it from me... I am off to check Albanian Ebay.
