I'm trying to get Xanga to be more community-ish.  We need more people back here.  Spread the word my children.  Xanga is still alive.  Sure it was on life support for a while there but it's back with slight problems but it's back.  What the hell am I saying?  Oh, there was this incident that is being kept on the down low.  A kid who was home schooled for the first 6 years of his schooling (k-5) had to enroll in the public school because his mother is sick and can't do the teaching.  Anyway, the kid is bored in class and asks the teacher if he can go to the library.  The teacher said that would be fine.  Well the kid is home schooled and has absolutely no clue that the school has its own library.  Instead he goes outside, gets on his bike, and bikes to the city library about a half mile away.  Well all heck broke loose at the school because they couldn't find the kid.  They searched everywhere and then at a recess break he casually puts his bike back on the rack and walks up to the teacher to show her the books he got.  Teacher breaks out in laughter.  They later took a "field trip" to the school library.

List 5 TV characters you'd like to get nasty with:
5  Florida Evans from Good Times

I swear Florida had the worst name in TV history.  “My name is Florida!”  Oh Family Guy, you’re silly!  She had to be the kindest woman ever on TV.  She was a mother and a wife and after a contract dispute she became a widow.  Always putting others before herself.  That is what I love in a woman.  Also she had to put up with J.J. “Kid Dy-no-mite” on a daily basis.  A few years ago on the Howard Stern show, they had John Amos on as a guest.  He played Florida’s husband, James Evans, on Good Times.  Howard said that John was one of the greatest actors ever and should have won countless awards.  John asked why and Howard replied, “Any man who could say that Florida was beautiful deserves an Emmy.”  I laughed.

#4  Dr. Neela Rasgotra from ER

She listens to punk, she’s sassy, sexy, smart, and she speaks with a British accent.  Plus she’s a doctor so I could be a kept man.  I can’t stand the sight of blood and to think that she digs around in people’s insides on a daily basis to save their lives…well that makes me…next.

#3 Officer Tina Hanlon from The Shield

Something about a female police officer drives me wild.  Maybe it is the prospect of being locked up in handcuffs or trying to get out of a ticket through interesting means.  Packing the firepower and ridding the streets of criminals is such a turn-on.  Oh yeah, she has a thing for older men and I am feeling the more I post that I am getting older.  She’s also bi…bilingual.

#2 Edith Bunker from All in the Family

She was the sweetest woman and she put up with all of Archie’s nonsense.  Edith had a great singing voice.  Here’s a strange but true tale:  there was a girl at my college that I had many classes with that my roommate and I referred to as Edith because of the similar resemblance.  The only difference was the hair.  I asked her out but realized that she wasn’t Edith.  Oh well.

#1 tie Marge Simpson from The Simpsons/ Lois Griffin from Family Guy

I think the biggest thrill for me with these two is that they are both chubby chasers.  They both put up with their respective husbands’ incompetent boobery.  Both Lois and Marge have kinky sexual tastes; Marge likes to get it on in public and Lois is a dominatrix.  It’s a tough choice so I called it a tie.

shhhh....I was just trying to see if a post I did a long time ago could be retrieved and get the old copy pasta schtick.
