PS there's a 150 more.

some time today I am putting our new data base into place. I will be shutting down the board for a little while to make sure the transition is a smooth one. The board should not be down for too long, but, I will be shutting off my aim so I can enter all the perl scripts and shit without interuption. I'll update this thread when I am about to begin.

All i have to say is WOW. Everyone knows that he cant possibly win, but it shows that "anything can happen" in the WWF. Im looking for the Taker to come down and just destroy Maven for 10 minutes. One thing is for sure, it will bring ratings, based on the fact that the casual fan who watched tough enough will tune in to watch this match.


Maven To Get WWF Title Shot On RAW
Posted By Ashish on 01.25.02

The WWF has announced that Maven will face Chris Jericho this Monday on RAW for the WWF Undisputed Title. Also confirmed for RAW, Kane takes on The Big Show and Kurt Angle faces Steve Austin for #1 Contender status. The WWF is also promising the next step in the entire NWO storyline.

Whats in your shitter to use while pushing out a big ole harry?

This months novelty item at the Onehung household is a hand held wheel of fortune game.

How do you just make it through an extremly shitty fuckin day?

I am not talking about any shitty day, mind you. I am talking about that one fuckin day where everything just seems to be in the damned shitter every time you turn around. That one cluster fuck where nothing you can or will do seems to help better your miserable situation. I am not talking about the "I want to kill myself" shitty day though. I don't have those kind of thoughts actualy and I am come to the bitter realization that i am the odd one at this point for not ever having such thoughts.

I just tried to take a fuckin walk with the walkman blaring some harsh agressive shit and believe it or not, it seemed to help. I totaly just lost myself and was able to handle things much easier.

So no one want's me here? You think I'm stalking someone? You think that I'm a post whore? Well then, I say my goodbye to you.



























I'm going to lunch.

<font color=red>Junior High Love
(Desert Sessions Vol. 3&4)

"Old school, new school, shit I didn't go to school"

There's a party in your mouth
Yeah, I wanna come
Lift your skirt up, spread your legs
And I'll load my gun, I would load my gun
'Cause we were young
In junior high love
We were young
In junior high love, oh yeah

Then I'll bend you over
And jam it up your cunt
Fuck your ass and kick you out
There's no doubt
I'll kick you out
'Cause we were young
In junior high love
We were young
In junior high love, oh yeah

(Ooo) In junior high love, yeah
(Ooo) In junior high love, yeah
In junior high love, go

'Cause we were young
In junior high love
We were young
In junior high love
We were young</font color=red>

The following was shared by Diane Berke in the May-June 1998 edition of On Course magazine:

A few years ago, at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash.

At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish to run the race to the finish and win. All, that is, except one little boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times, and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy cry. They slowed down and looked back. Then they all turned around and went back. Every one of them.

One girl with Down's Syndrome bent down and kissed him and said: "This will make it better." Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line.

Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for several minutes. People who were there are still telling the story. Why?

Because deep down we know this one thing. What matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What matters in this life is helping others win, even if it means slowing down and changing our course.

I think I need a snack. Maybe I'll have some more coffee instead. I have lately become addicted to Certs Cool Mint Drops. I've been eating them like they're candy. I'm a freaking addict.



















Oh yeah, it's 12:04

Here's a good one, for most unual death. Is Metallica really worth it? :roltflmao:

Quote:this year's winner is the late John Pernicky and his friend, the late Sal Hawkins, of the state of Washington, who decided to attend a local METALLICA concert at the George Washington Amphitheatre. Having no tickets (but having had 18 beers between them), they thought it would be easy to "hop" over the nine foot fence and sneak into the show. They pulled their pickup truck over to the fence and the plan was for Mr. Pernicky, who was 100-pounds heavier than Mr. Hawkins, to hop the fence and then assist his friend over. Unfortunately for Mr. Pernicky, there was a 30-foot drop on the other side of the fence. Having heaved himself over, he found himself crashing through a tree. His fall was abruptly halted (and broken, along with his arm) by a large branch that snagged him by his shorts. Dangling from the tree with a broken arm, he looked down and saw some bushes below him. Possibly figuring the bushes would break his fall, he removed his pocket knife and proceeded to cut away his shorts to free himself from the tree. Finally free, Mr. Pernicky crashed into holly bushes. The sharp leaves scratched his entire body and now, without the protection of his shorts, a holly branch penetrated his rectum. To make matters worse, on landing, his pocket knife penetrated his thigh. Mr. Hawkins, seeing his friend in considerable pain and agony, threw him a rope and proceeded to pull him to safety by tying the rope to the pickup truck and slowly driving away. However, in his drunken haste/state, he put the truck into reverse and crashed through the fence landing on his friend and killing him. Police arrived to find the crashed pickup with its driver thrown 100 feet from the truck and dead at the scene from massive internal injuries. Upon moving the truck, they found John under it half-naked, scratches on his body, a holly stuck in his rectum, a knife in his thigh, and his shorts dangling from a tree branch 25-feet in the air.
