If vampires can't go out in the sun, then how do they handle windburn?

I've always wanted to see a Billy Jack movie where he confronts a white guy for calling a native American a Pamunkey, leading to a very embarrassing scenario.......

I'm wondering how it's possible that not one but two of our national sports teams won games over the weekend?

It has been a long time since I've had to get up a 4 am to start work.

Still sucks as much as I remember.

If you put holy water in a humidifier, you create a gas chamber for vampires . . .

Heck, after a year of people dipping fingers in it (it's only emptied and refilled every Easter weekend) holy water is so dirty the mist would probably give anything the plague.

Reading a book by Anne Bronte, the least known and least popular of the Bronte sisters, and it's about a teenage girl who leaves her sheltered home to take up a position as governess to several children, one of whom is a young boy who gets his kicks by torturing and mutilating animals. I know Rochester and Heathcliff had issues, but I did not know there were incipient serial killers found in the Bronte canon.

Seeing a picture of a watch next to an android got me wondering...
Did Data have to synchronize his internal chronometer every day, or was it always three seconds fast?

Anyone wishing to get their names recorded in the history books could always be the founder of the Mongolian navy.

Know what'd be a fun thing to do if you were a supermodel in the pre-cell phone days? Go out to a town in the middle of nowhere and pick up some guy and take him to bed, then leave, knowing you'd just set him up for the rest of his life with a story nobody was ever going to believe.

Coooooooool!

My husband recently bought a worse for wear 180-year-old house (at least 180 years old) in a nearby state so he can restore it and sell it, and my daughter and I and a few others are going there Halloween evening into the early night to see if we encounter ghosts.

We have EMF readers (well, ok digital recorders), some fairly effective heat detectors, digital cameras, and of course, our own fine-tuned senses.    

Oh, and at least six people have died in the house, maybe more, it has an old well with a stone lip around it, there's no electricity on-site (because of copper thieves likely to be none for a while), and there are the foundations of several outbuildings on the property, one of which was almost certainly an Antebellum slave cabin.

Also, since it is above the river on a bluff and when the garden gets plowed stone artifacts such as spear points have turned up there, it might even be said to be on the grounds of---wait for it---"an aNciEnT INdIanN buUiaL grOuNd." I mean who knows?

And in la piece de resistance, in the natural stone basement/cellar, there is a bunch of old '80s looking heavy metal stuff with upside down crosses and pentagrams painted on the walls along with 666 and some lurid sentiments about....well, "stuff."

Man, this place. Should be fun!

I'll let you guys know on All Saints' Day how it went.

Watching a nooz story about a drop in catalytic converter thefts.....

Makes me wonder what car part thieves will target if we go all electric.....

Does Facebook's "Stories" feature make their "Memories" feature pointless?

Remember back when a TV wasn't getting a channel right and you'd have to give it a hit to get it working?

I wonder if that would work with people?
