More various inanity!© Copyright 01-01-09 by Forfyv “I got so depressed, that I jumped, and SPLAT, I ended up here. What about you?” said one grease spot to the other. Have you ever noticed that most women seem to have one breast that is larger than the other? I like that, seems to give them something to […] |

I’ll tell ya, that came as a complete surprise to me, but apparently my assistance in trying […] |

The answer of course is Nothing! This starts with Nothing. (I will use the term “xor” throughout this discussion. Xor is a logical operand that means, “exclusive or”. The reason […] |
Stupid Tuesday, Election opinion© Copyright November 06, 2006 by 45 Mike OK, dunno about any of the rest of you, but I am personally just sick of hearing and seeing advertisements in print, web, radio and TV concerning the elections. If any one of the candidates running in Montana were to tell the honest truth, no one would […] |
