Wax Museum - Tyler as Aldo Leopold @ Hillcrest Elementary, 5th grade
He did a really good job. I was proud of his eye contact, rate and rhythm of speech, and that he could remember all of his facts. I hate that there is so much background noise, though.

In Regards to a boy who died suddenly at a track practice in Brillion
You hear of Sooooo many young kids dieing at track practices, football, etc - and it's later determined they had a heart condition. One otherwise not detected during routine physical exams for sports. So, if that's the case what's it going to take for medical doctors and insurance companies to start allowing for and pushing for more thorough diagnostic tests to make absolutely sure kids are healthy? You know, at a certain age colonoscopies or other exams become recommended every ?how many years and covered by insurance - to maintain an individuals health, to look for signs of disease and curb it before it can progress to a life-threatening illness. So, why not allow whatever 'deep' screening is necessary for - all boys and girls upon entering 6th grade, and say - 10th grade, and possibly college IF they might be participating in any kind of rigorous sport, for example? I have a kid who's signed up for track next year in 6th gade. Currently, he's in running club gearing up for the Cellcom. I'm scared that he might have an unknown heart condition. This could be my kid - this could be me. It frightens me and I hope this family knows that they have my condolences and empathy - so much as I can only IMAGINE their heartbreak. It's sad and devastating and my thoughts go out to them and to the lives of every one that boy touched.

I'm sick & TwiSteD, but tha's okay. :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbet Am I the only person who thinks hanging (even of a corpse) is a good idea? - Don't answer that. :) I love wiki!
So, here's my respons on FB to the fact that the WH isn't going to release any pic's of - Ummm, what's his name???? Haha!
I don't understand how people think me and those who also want to see pic's of his dead body are conspiracy theorits. It's just that he caused so much pain and grief I want to be certain he's dead. I can't say I don't trust our governmen...t but, truthfully - the american people have been lied to throughout history because mama and daddy thought it best. Get my point? There is just a little bit of weariness on the issue, in my opinion. And, I just have to say this: why on earth should we respect his culture, his people, his religion - what the heck about my culture, my people, and my religion. I was (as an american) the one hurt and he is the one who did the hurtin'! Frankly, the sob should've been strung up for the world to see and left to hang while the birds feasted on his rotting corpse. Okay - that's how I really feel. :) Now, despite how his death has been or will continue to be treated by us - the americans - we can expect some type of retalliation. So what we did (or do) with his corpse - really doesn't matter. That's my opinion.
Of course, I like the idea of quartering his body, too. The parts could be dispersed to museums all over the nation/world, even.
At any rate - I hope to GOD that Obama doesn't make it another 4 years!

Prove it
Buried at sea? First of all, how about 'dumped at sea.' Seems more appropriate. Second of all, how convenient. And, the excuse is it's islamic traditions that require a body to be buried within 24 hours. Personally, I'd say string the body up to rot - for all the world to see and deny the bastard any religious righs, whatsoever. But, I know that can cause much turmoil whether they were OBL supporters or not - because it's a religious thing - and we're not God, or whatever they believe in - yada, yada, yada. But, give the American people - and our allies proof. This is just too convenient and I'm calling it a conspiracy.
There - I've said it.

Help! I'm ShRinKing in all the wrong places!
Apparently, I'm getting shorter. And, I just learned my feet have shrunk. 7 1/2's - not 8's. (Now, maybe my plantar fasciitis can begin to heal - if that was, indeed, the cause.)
I'm just shrinking in all the wrong places! No wonder I look fluffier!
