OK, I'm having a terrible time trying to sleep tonight, so I fired up the old laptop and started hitting the Stumble button on my browser. Lo and behold, I came up with 10 compelling reasons to drink beer. I knew there was a reason I was so healthy... If you start with #10, there's no reason to read further. I'm not sure that isn't supposed to be #1. #8 scares me, but my hair has never been shinier.
1. Beer strengthens cordial muscle. There are lots of potassium, magnesium, phosphorus in beer and it is excellent prophylaxis of myocardial infarction (heart attack), hypertension and heart failure. And nonalcoholic beer and dark beer of some brands could decreases the possibility of blood coagulability and thus decreases the risk of clots formation.
2. Beer appeases and cheers up. Hops bitterness renders drowse, and alkaloid isomorphine which is in hop by chemical characteristics is analogous to morphine.
3. Beer withdraws uric stonesMany sorts of beer withdraw uric stones. It happens like that: potassium intensifies natrium and chlorine segregation by kidneys, and urine formation deeply increases. Thus demineralization of organism happens and uric stones are being withdrawn.
4. Beer softens skin and enlarges breast. In XVI century pharmaceutical chemists recommended women to wash themselves with beer in order to have soft skin. And Prussian Queen Louise who had flat breast was advised to drink beer and smear her breast with beer three times per day.
5. Beer strengthen bonesBeer is the main source of silicon. This mineral plays a large role in strength of bone and muscle system.
6. In 100 grams of beer are only 37 KcalTo compare in 100 gram of kefir − 59 Kcal. That means that drinking beer after work is not so harmful for the figure. And so called “beer bellies” form not from beer but from sausages to beer.
7. Beer is good for mental work. There are lots of group B and P vitamins in malt and hop, and they improve mental activity.
8. Beer hastens hair growth And vitamins B and P affect hair growth. It is recommended to make nourishing masks from beer for hair once a week. And if you wet your clean hair with beer and then use hair rollers – after that you will get tight and bright ringlets.
9. Beer is good while having cold. Beer has bactericidal behaviour, if you drink warm beer while having cold or flu, it is possible to recover faster. In Medieval times during plague and cholera epidemic brewery workers rarely were ill. And while having toothache before teeth were rinsed with beer.
10. Beer is good for male potency. Zinc which is in beer is good for male potency and it prevents prostate inflammation.

Greatest WWF Tag Teams of ALL TIME
Alright, I know you're thinking, "man, Jeff, could you have a more white trash blog?" The answer? Probably so! But, c'mon on, give me a break, I don't watch NASCAR, I quit playing competitive darts, I don't drink Natural Light, I don't belong to a bowling league, and I rarely eat at the Waffle House. Let me have one vice, will ya?
Anyway, Bevo sent me a list of the greatest WWF Tag Teams of all time. I'm not sure I completely agree with this. I mean, where are The Acolytes? Come on people, they were #2 all time, not "Honorable Mention".
Anyway, here's the list, judge for yourself (I don't care who you are, you're by yourself reading this, you know you have an opinion, no one else has to know).

Arrested Development Quotes
You all know this is my favorite show and I'm VERY disappointed it was cancelled while still in its infancy. Fortunately, someone put together a nice list of quotes from the show. Like this one:
Tobias: Oh, come on. Don’t leave your uncle T-bag hanging.
George Michael: Please don’t call yourself that.

Great sayings
So, we inherit lots of things from our parents and their parents. Hair color, height, if you have hair on your knuckles (or your head, or back...) and the list goes on and on. One thing I got from my elders were some great sayings. Some of those sayings were:
From my dad's dad (Pawpaw) - "I don't think I understand all I know about that"
Pawpaw - "I'll be" (drawn out "I'll")
Pawpaw - "What kind of deal is that" (thanks to my brother for reminding me of that one)
My mom's dad (Papa) - Mon Dieu ("French for My God")
and possibly my favorite:
From my dad's mom (Mawmaw) - "I'd rather owe you than cheat you out of it".

Some funny pictures
These look like they're from Japan, some just make me scratch my head, a few make me laugh. I really like the Ronald McDonald.

How to clean a toilet (or a cat)
1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.
4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power-wash" and rinse".
6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.
9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.
Sincerely,
The Dog

Wednesday, March 05, 2008Rachael - She's Craaaaaazy
I have no idea how I managed to run across this website. It was a link off of a link off of a link on some page on the Internet somewhere (Thanks Al Gore). Anyway, you need some time to read the entire page, but man, this broad is whacko. If you ever think your relationship is bad, you gotta read this. He's also got a blog, http://thingsrachaelandiargueabout.blogspot.com, but it looks like it isn't complete as the other link.
I'm not sure what the dynamic of their relationship really was. I do get an impression that he may had lead her on a bit. At one point, he mentions how he moved into a 2 bedroom apartment AFTER she moved out. Regardless, this chick is OUT THERE. Here's an excerpt: Rachael (7:18:59 PM): soooo how come i'm like 25 on your myspace now? did i do something ?Me (7:18:59 PM): OH Me (7:19:00 PM): nope Me (7:19:03 PM): remember they're all random Rachael (7:19:25 PM): they were random now they are changed Rachael (7:20:11 PM): that makes them not random anymore Tuesday, March 04, 2008To Caucus or to Primary
Man, I'm sitting here watching election coverage (yes, that makes me old and boring, I can't help it), and I'm CONFUSED (shut up). I had to figure out what the difference between a caucus and a primary was. I don't remember caucuses before, maybe I never really paid attention, not sure. Anyway, thanks to the power of the Internet, I'm only mildly less confused than before. Here's the most easily understood definition (at least for me):
From http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art16013.asp The two main ways of assigning delegates are primaries and caucuses. A primary is simply an election that allows voters to go to the polls and cast their ballot for a candidate, thus determining their percentage of the state's delegates. A caucus is a state convention that provides a public place for party members to gather, hear speeches, and vote for delegates to represent candidates at the national convention. Some states only allow voters to participate in their party's primary while other states have no party restrictions and allow voters to participate in any one primary they choose. I hope you feel more enlightened. Information you NEED to know
Don't pretend like you don't care.
WrestleMania 25 is slated to take place in Houston, Texas at the Reliant Stadium -- home of the NFL's Houston Texans -- which holds a capacity of 71,500 for football games, and should hold far more for wrestling. The event will take place on Sunday, April 5, 2009. Sunday, March 02, 2008Obama, a TRUE Military Scientist
Yeah, he's an idiot. This is the worst idea I've ever heard of.
Thanks to my uncle (career military) for sending this on to me.
