CHEATERS MEETS DATELINE

Q: What's one of the sickest shows ever on TV?
A: Dateline's "To Catch a Predator"

And by sick I mean disgusting. Not disgusting in that the show itself is bad as far as the production of it is concerned, but disgusting in the content. All the perverts who end up on this show. Dozens of shows spanning 4 years.

If you're not familiar with the show, they use hidden cameras to catch men allegedly attempting to hook up with underage girls, sometimes boys. The pervert arranges to meet these underage kids, usually through the internet, these pervs actually show up, then the host of the show, Chris Hansen, comes out from behind the curtains or bushes or whatever, with cameras rolling, to ask these pedophile maggots what the @&$% they're doing.

So if there's anybody that should know all the tricks of the hidden camera game, it ought to be Chris Hansen, right? Well....maybe not. The cameras seem to have been turned on Hansen suggesting that he may be cheating on his wife. The National Enquirer says they have videotaped Hansen arriving at a restaurant with 30 year old Kristyn Caddell. Hansen is 52, married with 2 sons.

The Enquirer goes on to say the two had a romantic dinner, were filmed driving back to Caddell's apartment where they didn't emerge until 8 the next morning. Caddell then drove him to the airport.

Now keep in mind, this is the National Enquirer reporting. No word on if any space aliens were involved, or if Bill Gates actually has computer chips implanted throughout his body.

Now before all you pedophiles start jumping for joy that karma is coming back on Mr. Hansen, keep in mind that the WOMAN he was with (allegedly) is 30 YEARS OLD!

And looks like this:

So you still lose, maggots!

As of this writing, it is unclear if the TV show "Cheaters" has any future episodes involving Mr. Hansen and/or his wife.

VACATION ALL I EVER WANTED

It's summertime! The kids are out of school and families all across this great nation of ours are loading up and going on vacation. Going to their favorite lake to camp, a national park, Disneyland, a cruise, Hawaii, or for some, traveling abroad, to Europe, the Far East, etc. With a wide world of places to visit and see, I thought I'd mention a few places that maybe aren't quite that high up on most people's "places I really wanna see" list.

Everybody goes to the big tourist attractions, ends up spending a fortune and having to deal with the ginormous crowds. And once you get back home, you feel like you need a vacation from that vacation. Well, how about hitting some spots that are a little less crowded, where you can do things at a leisurely pace, take your time, relax?

Now, I don't know what most of these places have to offer but I'm sure figuring something out won't be a problem.

As a native Texan, I ask, how many of my fellow Texans have ever been to:

I'm hoping that would be Hostess Ding Dongs 'cause that would be freaking sweet!! If not, probably best to keep driving.

Want to get out of state? How about:

Good morning 56ers, it's a brisk 56° in 56 today.

Don't feel like doing much on your vacation? Then this is a must for you:

Nothing like spending a week in Nothing.
Unless you want to spend in Gas, Kansas;

Is that a water tower or......
Moving on, the town folk may be a little red in the face when you're driving through;

Hmm, I thought Brett Farve embarrassed Minnesota.
While you're in the "land of ten thousand lakes" here's 3 you can't miss...or maybe you should;



Hey, didn't Brett Favre.......ew, nevermind. And why is Lower Spunk Lake above Upper Spunk Lake?

Heading east to Wisconsin;

And if it's 934 miles away, I'm afraid you're going to stayalone.

If you thought there was nothing to do in Nothing, wait 'til you get to;

If that's too boring for you, you can liven things up with a trip to;

You can even stay at;

Probably not a trip you want to take with the family.
There's other places you can have family fun;

Now you've got a theme vacation going that you can cap off with a trip to;

When driving from Nothing to Boring, wouldn't it be nice if there were a nice place to visit between the two?

"Where are you at?"
"Between, Georgia."
"Between Georgia and what?"
Is this a "Who's on First" skit?

A little too much fire water when the Nipmucs named that lake.

Can't get enough action in Intercourse or Horneytown? There's always Assawoman Bay, Delaware;

And you've got to be quiet too. Definitely don't want to wake.

So there's just a few of the lesser known vacation destinations. As for me, it's hard to decide. All those sound like nice places but I think I want to maybe get out of the country for a change.

Where to go, where to go.....aw, Phuket.......as in Thailand;

I'll leave you with a few images of Phuket;

Bon Voyage!!!!

SIGN, SIGN, EVERYWHERE A SIGN

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign,
Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind,
Do this, don't do that,
Can't you read the sign....

I think just about everyone has heard that song before. Written by the Five Man Electrical Band in 1970 and climbing to #3 on the Billboard charts, "Signs" is about intolerance and exclusion with signs going up all around telling people what they can and can't do, what's acceptable in this establishment and what is not, where you can go and where you can't. Written in an era of social and political change, the song (40 years later) still fits in with today's hustle and bustle world.

Today, signs are more prevalent than ever with billboards littering major thoroughfares, signs warning you of street construction, lane changes, where to turn, and where to stop. All kinds of businesses put their signs up, trying to draw in as many customers as they can. 40 years after that song was written, there's still signs telling people what to do and where to go.

Unfortunately, even the signs sometimes get a little confused.

Then there's signs that could really use some education or at least a decent spellchecker.

Maybe if signs could think.

There's signs that warn you of the dangers this world has to offer.

How about a sign that tells your fortune?

Crap!! I guess I better not move to that street.

Restaurants aren't opposed to signs either.

There's signs that are probably a good idea.

You may be laughing at some of this, but drowning is not a laughing matter.....even if the sign says to.

Signs need some time off too.

Yes, we have no bananas, but we do have;

Not into fruit? How about......

Or you could always just read a book.

And don't think the police won't use a sign.

Of course, to help pay for a new toilet they're going to have to find a way to generate some cash.

"Do you know why I pulled you over? I clocked you doing 10¼ in a 9½ zone. Driver's license and registration."

Probably not the best ad a furniture store has come up with...

How about a little innuendo?

And finally, businesses are always trying to promote their service as being the best.

And the sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside,
UGH!!!
