(with apologies to Rodgers & Hammerstein)

Democracies flourish and terrorists frying;
Consumers with money and Arafat dying;
Third world nations removing their kings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the news blows,
When the web slows,
When I'm feeling mad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

Moore getting fatter and Dan Rathers' firing;
Peterson busted and WalMart is hiring;
Cutting off deadbeats from our apron strings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the French speak,
When my bones creak,
When I'm feeling mad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

Football on TV and boobs in our faces;
Kerry defeated and panties with laces;
Politicians in oceans without water wings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the car stalls,
When the roof falls,
When I'm feeling mad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

SBD News Service (Atlanta) - American Medical Association researchers have made a remarkable discovery. It seems that some patients needing blood transfusions may benefit from receiving chicken blood rather than human blood. It tends to make the men cocky and the women lay better.

Lovely Wife sent me some gorgeous photos of sunsets and I'm going to use one of them for my desktop here at work. Problem is, I can't decide which to use.

That's where you come in! You get to make my difficult decision for me. Hey, I'm one step from the VP now. I'm learning the secret of delegation.

Take a look at these three and vote for your favorite:

Sunset one

Sunset two

Sunset three

1 #3 rocks, but since we're talking about work, I'd go with #1. At home, #3 might be a little hard to explain to the boys too...

2 Re: #3 - So... you just bought her a diamond? http://www.markehrlich.com/humor/debeers.htm Anyway, I like #1.

3 Number 2. Definitely. Number 1 looks so fake, and for some reason, Number 3 makes me think of my early 20's, not sure why.

4 Fake or otherwise, I like #1. #2 deserves an honorable mention, though. #3 - Cute, but may require too much explanation.

5 Dude! That should come with a warning label. I think #3 is quite suitable for work.

6 i gotta go with #1. I'd LIKE to go with #3, can you get me her number? :-D

7 I like #1--it has religious overtones [as does # 3, now that I think about it ]
