Song of the Week
"Killer Queen" - Queen
She keeps moet et chandon
In her pretty cabinet
let them eat cake she says
Just like marie antoinette
A built-in remedy
For kruschev and kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You cant decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
Chorus
Shes a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from china
Went down to geisha minah
Then again incidentally
If youre that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from paris
For cars she couldnt care less
Fastidious and precise
Chorus
Drop of a hat shes as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild..
Shes all out to get you
Chorus

M & M Duel
This is just bizzare....
"M&M Duels
Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.
Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theatre of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.
Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.
When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."
This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.
There can be only one."

Song of the Week
"Fancy" - Reba McEntire
I remember it all very well lookin back
It was the summer I turned eighteen
We lived in a one room, rundown shack
On the outskirts of new orleans
We didnt have money for food or rent
To say the least we were hard pressed
Then mama spent every last penny we had
To buy me a dancin dress
Mama washed and combed and curled my hair
And she painted my eyes and lips then I stepped into a satin
Dancin dress that had a split on the side clean up to my hip
It was red velvet trim and it fit me good
Standin back from the lookin glass
There stood a woman where a half gown kid had stood
She said heres your one chance fancy dont let me down
Heres your one chance fancy dont let me down
Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck
And she kissed my cheek
Then I saw the tears wellin up in her troubled eyes
When she started to speak
She looked at a pitiful shack
And then she looked at me and took a ragged breath
She said your pas run off and Im real sick
And the babys gonna starve to death
She handed me a heart shaped locket that said
To thine own self be true
And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
The tow of my high heel shoe
It sounded like somebody else that was talkin
Askin mama what do I do
She said just be nice to the gentlemen fancy
And theyll be nice to you
She said heres your chance fancy dont let me down
Heres your one chance fancy dont let me down
Lord forgive me for what I do, but if you want out
Well its up to you
Now dont let me down you better start movin uptown
Well, that was the last time I saw my ma
The night I left that rickety shack
The welfare people came and took the baby
Mama died and I aint been back
But the wheels of fate had started to turn
And for me there was no way out
And it wasnt very long til I knew exactly
What my mamas been talkin about
I knew what I had to do but I made myself this solemn vow
That is gonna be a lady someday
Though I dont know when or how
I couldnt see spending the rest of my life
With my head hung down in shame you know
I might have been born just plain white trash
But fancy was my name
Heres your one chance fancy dont let me down
Heres your one chance fancy dont let me down
It wasnt very long after a benevolent man
Took me off the street
And one week later I was pourin his tea
In a five room hotel suite
I charmed a king, a congressman
And an occasional aristocrat
Then I got me a georgia mansion
In an elegant new york townhouse flat
And I aint done bad
Now in this world theres a lot of self-righteous hippocrits
That would call me bad
And criticize mama for turning me out
No matter how little we had
But though I aint had to worry bout nothin
For nigh on fifteen years
I can still hear the desperation in my poor
Mamas voice ringin in my ear
She said, heres your one chance fancy dont let me down
Heres your one chance fancy dont let me down
Lord, forgive me for what I do
But if you want out well its up to you
Now dont let me down
Your mamas gonna help you uptown
I guess she did

100 Person Village
There was a kids show on TreeHouse the other day that was teaching what the world looked like if it was made up of 100 people. I thought it was quite interesting, so I looked up some of the facts on the internet. Now bear in mind this is an average as the reports were not all as up-to-date as I would have liked them to be, the show seemed more accurate and in-depth.
If the world were a 100 person village this is what it would look like:

Song of the Week
"Sugar We're Going Down" - Fall Out Boy
Am I more than you bargained for yet
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(A notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)
Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
[x2]
Is this more than you bargained for yet
Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)
Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
We're going down, down in an earlier round

We're going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we're going down swinging (Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
We're going down, down (down, down)

Hamster Part 16
I cleaned the hamsters cages today and as I was cleaning the boys' cage a funny thing happened... I put the boys in the empty cage while I cleaned their cage, I dumped out their slumber house and there was a tiny hamaster in it, still moving around all fuzzy and furry!! Apparently ALL the hamsters in the past litter were girls!
So now GP & Chipmunk have had a baby. I named it Vole. It's awfully cute, I honestly have no idea if it's a boy or a girl, but it's probably two weeks old by now, problem was they had it in the hosue the whole time so I didn't even know it was there 'til I dumped the house out.
I don't know what I'm going to do about preventing more baby hamster though! I can't have this many cages!! LOL

GoodTree
Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are apparently contributing their technology to a new search engine website called GoodTree that gives money to charity when you use it.

"Search for Good: GoodTree and GoodSearch
October 25, 2006 10:36 AM - Celine Ruben-Salama, New York, NY
James Currier had a vision to create an online service that would harness the Internet to benefit charity. GoodTree, which originally launched summer of 2005, went offline in November 2005, and re-launched in July 2006 was the result. The search engine which combines results from Google, Yahoo, MSN, and AskJeeves is free, has no banners or pop-ups, will never ask you for money, and will never send you spam yet raises “a lot of money for charity.”
Too good to be true? Not at all. All the leading search engines contribute to the results so you will find what you’re looking for using it. Clicking around the Internet you generate money for brand-named vendors who pay to have potential customers visit their websites. These pennies add up to total of billions of dollars in aggregate for whole search sector. By using the GoodTree search engine, 50% of their gross revenues go directly to the many charities individual users select.
Top-rated and among the most proven and effective in their categories the charites listed are impressive. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, you can suggest a category. The environmental category contains Earth Island Institute, Earth Justice, Conservation Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club Foundation. Users can select as many charities in as many categories as they want.
Start using GoodTree and keep an eye on your “charity tree” on the top right hand side of the homepage to track of the amount you have money you have generated. The service is only marketed by word-of-mouth, so be sure to tell your friends. It is a great example of a small, individual contribution that you can make, without making major changes to your day-to-day life.
GoodSearch, powered by Yahoo!, works similarly to GoodTree. Happy searching!"
