Wow, I guess it is.  My bad, Cactus.

I'm surprised the FBI is directing people to go to a third party website that looks like one of those typical scam sites, though.

Yeah, I'm sure that the FBI isn't doing the least bit interested in what is on people's computers. 

Qwest used to block me off accessing the internet regardless of virus scans showing my computer clean, so I know it's been done.

JR, that it might be a scam was my first thought when I saw the article in the local Sunday paper.  I decided otherwise when Yahoo had it too.

Dick Clark has died.  He was 82.

Sad to see him go but I have to say that it was really painful to watch him on New Years Eve after he had the stroke.

Just have it done when you can wear tight jeans for a couple of says and then pack them with ice.

The surgery itself doesn't bother, but if you are active the first few days afterward, the internal bleeding results in some very uncomfortable bruising.

Congrats, buff!  The technology for vasectomies has come a long way.

All, I have three bleacher tickets for the Sunday May 20 game against the White Sox. Bought them for an acquaintance heading to the US in an effort to educate them as to where the greatest ballpark in the world is. They have now changed their plans and can't go on the 20th. (They will still be going to Wrigley earlier in the week, so I won't have to kill them). What is the best way to sell 'em? They are e-tickets so can be e-mailed. Looking to sell them at face value if possible! Is Stub Hub a worthwile place to sell 'em? Any assistance would be appreciated. Cheers!

Take me out to the tattoo parlor... </sarcasm>






Pasco baseball fan's tattoos tell story of America's pastime

By Dori O'Neal, Tri-City Herald
 
PASCO - Mike McWain of Pasco is devoted to baseball. To pay homage to the game and its iconic players of yesteryear, McWain had a field of dreams tattooed across his back, shoulders and arms.

"Shoeless" Joe Jackson is there, along with Honus Wagner, Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig, Walter Johnson and Ty Cobb.

The 39-year-old nuclear operator and union steward at Hanford admits his obsession with baseball is more about its history than the game itself.

"The first sport I ever remember watching on television was baseball," McWain said. "I was about 8 years old, and I watched the whole game, which was unusual for me. I think Pete Rose was playing."

As he grew up, his obsession escalated. He played the game and collected baseball cards through school and still has a few thousand cards stashed in boxes somewhere, he said.

But it wasn't until 1997 that McWain got his first baseball-themed tattoo. It was etched across his left shoulder and depicts the hand of God reaching through clouds holding a bat-swinging Babe Ruth in his palm.

McWain had a theme in mind to complete the scene, but 11 years passed before he caught the itch to finish the project.

Here's one for Scoop.  I know she goes in for things like boogers and bodily functions.

What is a frog catcher?

Hint:  I made the name up yesterday.
Hint#2:  The question should probably be What are a pair of frog catchers?
Hint#3:  I counted them one day, mine, not the catchers, they're easier to count.  Or I should say I lost count one day after fifty or so escaped.
