Yes, Shane actually got arrested once for "marking" a Tim Horton's donut shop. He marked the back wall by the parking lot. Seems that a couple of the girls who worked there ratted on him, and they got a photo too! It quickly made the rounds of Blind River and even wound up being used as evidence in court. Shane is still carrying quite a grudge about the "skanks" responsible for that little fiasco. Well, actually, he was primarily responsible for it, but you know what I mean...

My dog is capable of marking considerably more than a lousy 1 post per hour! I think he could easily handle a couple hundred posts in an hour, but he'd have to come back for a drink now and then, I guess.

Given his history I would expect Shane to be more interested in 'marking' the area Tim Hortons' than any posts he may come across.

Yeah, but how many cards per hour (cph) would "Shane" leave? That should be computed both with and without beer. Perhaps the Greys can let us know "Shane"'s bladder capacity and output volume.

If he did, at say one calling card an hour, what date would finish? I haven't a clue but I'll bet some mathematician will be able to tell us. Peace is usually good at this sort of things - will someone contact him as a matter of thread urgency please.

I'm not sure a fence of any length would keep out the Greys, seeing as how they have a spaceship. Perhaps if it were REALLY tall.

Then too, do we want to keep out the Greys? They have only done good so far, what with keeping Shane out of jail and away from the women. I do have concerns about their ultimate motive. I can't but wonder what (if anything) Shane is really being trained to do.

David Icke makes for some pretty wild reading. Interesting, but I don't buy all of it. Shane may indeed be in pretty deep this time. I'm surprised the Greys would waste their time playing Euchre, but I guess they want to keep him happy and entertained.

I'm just reading a book by David Ike and fear Shane may be unknowingly having his DNA mixed with the Greys in order to create a new super race. We'll have to start taking the things he says with a pinch of salt as they could just be part of a master plan. The conscious part of poor Shane is likely to be completely oblivious to this however.

I been talkin' to Artixes and the boy about the flippin' total lack of babes out here in space. It is no flippin' good! They say they are gonna help me out with that, but they did not say when. They are so flippin' pashient about every flippin' thing that it drives me nuts!

Artixes and Meklor bet me again last night at Euchre. I now owe them 185 billion dollars or somethin' like that, but I think my winnin' streak is comin' up. I really do, eh? Yep, I am gonna clean there clocks any day now and when I do I will buy this spaceship right out from under the little flipheads and I will start givin' the orders around here! Then there will be a babe in every flippin' escape pod.

So Shane, your vocabulary seems to have increased and your grammer is approaching that of a normal person. The Greys may be affecting you in ways you had not forseen.

You say they give you all the beer you want, eh? What about babes? A fellow has needs. If they are not met one way, they will be in another (Though I prefer not to think about that too much, thanks just the same. Rapaire has provided the seeds of a visual that I feel is best left alone).

Whatever.

One thing that sorta bothers me about life with the flippin' Grays is this. Ya gotta shower EVERY flippin' day! I flippin' kid you not! They insist on it. They are total clean freaks! I have never been so flippin' clean in my life before. The shower is pretty neat. It ain't water. It is some kind of other stuff that works better, but I don't know what you would call it, eh? It looks a lot like water but is more steamy, sort of. Like heavy clouds of steam.

My opinion is that most girls would really flippin' go fer these showers that the Grays have and I am sorry that there ain't none here or I would try and get them in there for a personal demonstrashun of how it works. I have not seen any girls here. None. These flippin' Grays all look the same to me, and I think they only have sex once in 7 years or somethin'!

Even Don is wicked jealous of me, but he don't admit it to nobody. He would rather die than admit that his little brother has got him beat in every flippin' department that counts! You can take that to the bank and cash it, baby! He is flippin' dyin' inside with jealosy. Ha! Ha!

Hey, man, I am just croosin' here, eh? It is so cool in space. You would not flippin' belEEV it. I have been all over the flippin' place with Artixes and the boys and it is majorly cool. These here flippin' Grays are pretty flippin' smart, I have to admit. I tried teachin' 'em Euchre and they picked it up real fast. Now I get beat EVERY time I play! Holy flip. I can't believe it. The Blind River Euchre champ gets beat by a buncha flippin' little skinny guys who don't even care about sex most of the time. Holy flip. They are defanitly smart. No flippin' question about it.

They do not think like us at all. Can you believe it? I thought there was a flippin' E-Mergency or somethin' and that was why they took me. But they are sooooo patient. You would nto flippin' believe it. They don't even work up a flippin' sweat over the fact that there is a, like, threat out there to all life as we flippin' KNOW IT and it has got to be STOPPED! They are takin' their sweet time famillyerizin' me with all kinds of, like, culture stuff that I should know before I, like, go on the big mission. Geez.

Besideds, they think that this whole flippin' reality is just a temporary flippin' dream, so that is why they ain't too worked up about it.

Flip me.

I don't worry about it, though, becaose they can sympathize all the beer I want with a machine they got. It is majorly good beer. It beats Brador all to hell, eh? And I don't get no hangover from it. Un-flippin' beLEEVAble.

So BDiBR's (aka Shane) mission is to save the universe. I think everyone will agree that we can all sleep easier knowing we're in his safe hands. I mean he usually comes out smelling of roses, Marys, Daphnes etc doesn't he? Why should we doubt things will be different this time. And saving the universe could be very beneficial to the long term success on this thread - let's not forget that. So, wherever you are let's now have a chorus of 'For He's a Jolly Good Fellow' followed by three hip, hip, hoorays.

Hmmm CNN is starting the bogus war on Christmas polls and shouting matches early this year.

The poll said that 87% think Christmas represented well in malls and public spaces while 13% think xmas is being attacked.
The talking head brunette however spoke the words "13% think Christmas is represented well".

Have you also seen the total reversal of these vacuous and contentious polls when the talking head reads them aloud?

A reversal here, a decimal point there...a Supreme Court decision that says News shows have a right to lie and cover up any story they print or show...
jeez why even bother?   or is that the point....:(


Jay Leno showed the
USA Today that had the astronomy story (((The Universe may be destroyed SOON))) in their 'A better life' D section of their newspaper.
