This is officer Mike, can you get naked and jump up and down?

It amazes me that there are so many people who will do whatever someone on the phone says just because they say they are a cop.

Falling manaquin

Why do I find this so interesting?

If you were wondering what to get me for Christmas.

Here are some links for some swim wear and undergarments I'd like to receive for Christmas -

Banana hammock
Mint posing suit
Trio cut-out suit

Would anyone come over to use the pool if I was sporting any of those?

This one only Jody would be [un]lucky enough to see me in.

What young kids do in Oklahoma.

I'm thinking about the "Oklahoma Full Auto Shoot and Trade Show" for my next family vacation.

Just in time for the holidays.

Just what you need to celebrate Christmas, a Holiday Darth Vader action figure. I'm waiting for the Michael Myers tree decoration or the Sauron nativity figure. Nothing says Christmas like evil movie characters.

Free access to newspaper archives

Have you ever searched for a article or some information on either the Boston Globe or the Boston Herald only to find it and then realize that they want $2.95 and $3.95 to get the full text of the article? If you have a valid Massachusetts library card you can get it for free. The Massachusetts Board of Library commissioners page has access to both the Herald and Globe as well as the The Republican (Springfield) and the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.

Best looking and dressed revolutionary

I didn't know the Hungarians had such good looking freedom fighters. If you have the time this 1960 propaganda comic is a pretty interesting read. Here is the description from the web page -

"Treasure Chest was a monthly comic book published by the Catholic Guild from 1946 to 1972. Each issue featured several different stories intended to inspire citizenship, morality, and patriotism. In the 1961, volume 17 number 2 issue, the story "This Godless Communism" began. It continued in the even numbered issues through number 20. The entire story is presented here."

If you don't have time to read the whole thing do check out the the drawing of Nikita Khrushchev. He might not have been a good looking man but if you only saw this you would think he was part wild boar.
