Quote

Diana Princess of Wales once said:

"They say that it is better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable, but how about a compromise, like moderately rich and just moody?"

Officially....

I am officially in the states, I heard the phrase "sweet tea" and "chicken restaurant" in the same sentence.

The creator of the Frisbee, Superball, Hula Hoop, Slingshot & Silly String

An excerpt from the "Good Old Days" newsletter I subscribe to:

"Richard Knerr passed away on January 17 at the age of 82.
You don't recognize the name? If not, I'll bet you remember these names: Hula Hoop®, Frisbee®, Superball®, Silly String®.

If you were a youngster living in southern California in 1958, you might have noticed an odd pair on your playground demonstrating a new toy. They were Richard Knerr and his childhood friend, Arthur "S Aug 23, 2012 pud" Melin, and the toy they had reinvented and renamed was the Hula Hoop.
Rich and Spud had founded the Wham-O® Company ten years earlier in 1948. Their first try at toy stardom was the slingshot, a Y-shaped stick with rubber straps to shoot small stones or other such missiles toward a target (see the old Wham-O advertisement below).
They had developed the slingshot because they were falconers and needed something to shoot meat into the air to train their birds. "Wham-O" came from the sound they imagined the shot made when it hit its target. Richard and Spud thought their slingshot might be a popular toy for post-War boys.
Boy, were they right! I wonder how many kids got into trouble after breaking a window with the ubiquitous slingshot? And, if you couldn't afford to buy one, you were always on the lookout for just the right forked branch to which you could affix inner tube strips and make your own.
After their early success with the slingshot, Knerr and Melin spent the next decade looking for a new "hot" product. Their inspiration came in 1957 from an acquaintance who had visited Australia and told the two entrepreneurs about children twirling bamboo hoops around their waists in gym class.
Knerr and Melin experimented with toys themselves and often tried them out directly on potential buyers. After a few months with the Hula Hoops on the playgrounds, they knew they had a hit. Wham-O sold more than 100 million Hula Hoops in the first two years of production. The Hula Hoop is now widely recognized as the biggest fad of the '50s.

Then there was the Frisbee, a flying disc that Wham-O introduced in 1958. The plastic disc was originally called the Pluto Platter -- so named because of widespread fascination in the United States with Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). Wham-O bought all rights to the disc design from Walter Morrison, who had applied for a patent for it.

Wham-O marketed the Frisbee as a sport, and dozens of game variations were developed over the years: Frisbee Golf, Disc Football, Disc Baseball, Frisbee Soccer, Ultimate Frisbee, etc. The games made the Frisbee one of the favorite family toys of the 1950s through the 1970s, the time period when a professional Frisbee league was established.

The 1960s brought Wham-O's Superball and the Slip 'N Slide. In 1962, when the limbo dance was popular, the company marketed a limbo party kit complete with dance instructions. It was Rich and Spud's goal to stay on the cutting edge of amusement.

In 1982, Wham-O was sold to Kransco Group Companies, and in 1994, the giant toy-maker Mattel purchased it from Kransco. In 1997, Wham-O became independent again when it was purchased by a group of private investors in California.
That same year, Richard Knerr was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times. "If Spud and I had to say what we contributed, it was fun," he told the newspaper. "But I think this country gave us more than we gave it. It gave us the opportunity to do it.""

Q. Where did the name "Frisbee" come from?
A. Wham-O's Frisbee was originally known as the Pluto Platter, but some credit the design of the flying disc to the Frisbie Baking Company of Bridgeport, Conn. The company made pies that were sold at many New England colleges. It seems that students discovered that the empty pie tins (see illustration below) could be sailed through the air and caught. It was cheap entertainment.
Rich and Spud had heard of the phenomena of the flying pie tins when they bought rights to the Pluto Platter. They initially offered the toy under its original name, but in 1958 the Frisbie Baking Company went out of business. Coincidentally, Wham-O renamed and reintroduced its flying disc as the Frisbee that same year.

February 08, 2008: teafragging

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=teafragging&defid=1268330

It's [teabagging], but in video games. When playing online or split-screen in a First person shooter game, and you've just [frag]ged someone, you walk over the opponent's digital carcass, and then press the crouch command repeatedly to embarass the victim while he or she respawns.

It is truly embarassing, and should only be done by professionals. This means you need to earn some respect before you teafrag somebody, or else you will face the wrath of the victim.

1: "Dammit! I just got teafragged by some [noob]!"

2: "That was me, stupid!"

1: "Fuck."

New Form of Breast Cancer

 Please pass this one on to all of the women that you know~

Different kind of Breast Cancer - DO NOT DELETE
Please forward to all of the women in your lives . Mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, friends, etc..

In November, a rare kind of breast cancer was found. A lady developed a rash on her breast, similar to that of young mothers who are nursing.

Because her mammogram had been clear, the doctor treated her with antibiotics for infections. After 2 rounds, it continued to get worse, so her doctor sent her for another mammogram. This time it showed a mass.

A biopsy found a fast growing malignancy. Chemo was started in order to shrink the growth; then a mastectomy was performed; then a full round of Chemo; then radiation. After about 9 months of intense treatment, she was given a clean bill of health.

She had one year of living each day to its fullest. Then the cancer returned to the liver area. She took 4 treatments and decided that she wanted quality of life, not the after effects of Chemo. She had 5 great months and she planned each detail of the final days. After a few days of needing morphine, she died. She left this message to be delivered to women everywhere:

Women, PLEASE be alert to anything that is not normal, and be persistent in getting help as soon as possible.

Paget's Disease: This is a rare form of breast cancer, and is on the outside of the breast, on the nipple and aureole It appeared as a rash, which later became a lesion with a crusty outer edge. I would not have ever suspected it to be breast cancer but it was. My nipple never seemed any different to me, but the rash bothered me, so I went to the doctor for that. Sometimes, it itched and was sore, but other than that it didn't bother me. It was just ugly and a nuisance, and could not be cleared up with all the creams prescribed by my doctor and dermatologist for the dermatitis on my eyes just prio r to this outbreak. They seemed a little concerned but did not warn me it could be cancerous.

Now, I suspect not many women out there know a lesion or rash on the nipple or aureole can be breast cancer. (Mine started out as a single red pimple on the aureole. One of the biggest problems with Paget's disease of the nipple is that the symptoms appear to be harmless. It is frequently thought to be a skin inflammation or infection, leading to unfortunate delays in detection and care.)

What are the symptoms?

1. A persistent redness, oozing, and crusting of your nipple causing it to itch and burn (As I stated, mine did not itch or burn much, and had no oozing I was aware of, but it did have a crust along the outer edge on one side.)

2. A sore on your nipple that will not heal. (Mine was on the aureole area with a whitish thick looking area in centre of nipple).

3. Usually only one nipple is effected. How is it diagnosed? Your doctor will do a physical exam and should suggest having a mammogram of both breasts, done immediately. Ev en though the redness, oozing and crusting closely resemble dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), your doctor should suspect cancer if the sore is only on one breast. Your doctor should order a biopsy of your sore to confirm what is going on.


This message should be taken seriously and passed on to as many of your relatives and friends as possible; it could save someone's life.

the green flash

Thank-you Johnny Depp for bringing this to my attention:

From Wiki:
"Green flashes and green rays are optical phenomena that occur shortly after sunset or before sunrise, when a green spot is visible, usually for no more than a second or two, above the sun, or it may resemble a green ray shooting up from the sunset point. Green flashes are a group of phenomena stemming from different causes, and some are more common than others.^[1] Green flashes may be observed from any altitude (even from an aircraft). They usually are seen at an unobstructed horizon, such as over the ocean, but are possible over cloud tops and mountain tops as well."
