All I can say here is...atleast it was divided equally.

BERLIN - A 43-year-old German decided to settle his imminent divorce by chain sawing a family home in two and making off with his half in a forklift truck.

Police in the eastern town of Sonneberg said on Friday the trained mason measured the single-story summer house — which was some 8 meters (26 feet) long and 6 meters wide — before chain sawing through the wooden roof and walls.

"The man said he was just taking his due," said a police spokesman. "But I don't think his wife was too pleased."

After finishing the job, the man picked up his half with the forklift truck and drove to his brother's house, where he has since been staying.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. - Attempts to duplicate a movie stunt landed one man in the hospital with burned genitals and another facing criminal charges.

The men were trying to do a stunt from one of the “Jackass” movies, in which a character lights his genitals on fire.

Jared W. Anderson, 20, suffered serious burns to his hands and genitals, according to the criminal complaint. Randell D. Peterson, 43, who sprayed lighter fluid on Anderson and lit him on fire, was charged with felony battery and first-degree reckless endangerment Tuesday in Eau Claire County Court.

Witnesses told police that Anderson, who was drunk, volunteered to do the stunt Sunday after watching the movie, the complaint said.

After Peterson ignited Anderson, he ran into the bathroom, jumped into the tub and put the flames out, according to the complaint. He was taken to Luther Hospital, and eventually treated at the Regions Hospital Burn Unit in St. Paul, Minn., for second-degree burns.

Anderson told police that he didn’t want anyone to get in trouble because of the stunt.

Peterson was freed on a $2,000 bond. He has a hearing scheduled April 16. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.

Another reason I need to adopt a dog...and now I know what my cats are actually trying to tell me when they vomit on the carpet.....   Excerpt from the Diaries of Dogs & Cats

EXCERPTS FROM A DOG'S DIARY Day number 180 8:00 am - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVORITE! 9:30 am - OH BOYI A CAR RIDE! MY FAVORITE! 9:40 am - OH BOY! A WALK! MY FAVORITE! 10:30 am - OH BOY! A CAR RIDE! MY FAVORITE! 11:30 am - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVORITE! 12:00 noon - OH BOY! THE KIDS! MY FAVORITE! 1:00 pm - OH BOY! THE YARD! MY FAVORITE! 4:00 pm - OH BOY! THE KIDS! MY FAVORITE! 5:00 PM - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVORITE! 5:30 PM - OH BOY! MOM! MY FAVORITE! EXCERPTS FROM A CAT'S DIARY DAY 752: My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant. DAY 761: Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair.. must try this on their bed. DAY 766: Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I am.. .Hmmm. Not working according to plan. DAY 768: I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo". What sick minds could invent such a liquid? My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth. DAY 771: There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call "beer". More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to my power of "allergies". Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage. DAY 774: I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...

 

 

 

 

 

It is another Sunday evening, a weekend of a bad storm, no power, and I was more concerned that I might miss tonights episode of QAF than anything else.  I had no power for 28 hours, due to the storm, all I had was my laptop and season 2 QAF on DVD...so I go through the first episode on that disk in the dark, and realized just how amazing the actor Gale Harold is.  (not to mention very, very HOT).  I wanted to find out more about him now since I watched the CD in the dark last night.  I watched tonight's episode, and found myself laughing one minute from Brian's one- line comments like when Ben and Brian were driving back to the hospital, and Ben's hands were full of blood from him fighting with the protesters at the vigil.  Ben asks Brian for something to clean his hands off with, Brian hands him a towel from the back seat of his car and Ben gives him a quarky look when Brian quickly replies, "It's my cum towel...for when your on the go..."

Later on, Brian is with his partner Justin, and asks him to marry him.  I was in tears!!!  AS IF IT WAS A SOAP OPERA!!!  I couldn't believe a character like Brian's has "gone soft", no pun intended.  I was so happy, I almost wished for a moment that I was Justin...but then again, it was a little hard for me being a woman and all...  When he said the line "I'm taking a chance on love..." I cried like a baby!

I cannot believe just how much I have fallen in love with this show over the years.  People often ask me why I like QAF as much as I do.  My reply is in two answers...1.) The show gives me the chance to see a show that isn't your typical family, reality, or soap opera and 2.) I can't deny it any longer.....THE GUYS ON QAF ARE HOT!!!  That's right...I am a straight girl who adores hot guys like Brian Kinney, Hal Sparks, Ben, and of course Emmett!  I love them all!!!  If I had to choose one though that I find is a lot like me, I would definately say Brian Kinney!!!!  When I read that Gale Harold who plays Brian Kinney is a SINGLE, STRAIGHT, GORGEOUS MAN, I thought to myself, THERE IS A GOD!!!  HAIL MARY!!!  It gives me a little hope that there are still HOT, STRAIGHT guys in the UNITED STATES!!!! (NOT THAT THE GAY MEN ARE NOT HOT, OH THEY ARE...AND IF I WAS A MAN...I WOULD SOOOOO BE LOOKING IN THAT DIRECTION!!!)  Unfortunately, us straight girls need to try and wrangle some of those hot guys for ourselves every once in a while!!1  (in my case...when they don't stand me up that is...) 

 So, if Gale Harold, or anyone who knows him reads this...pass the word that a woman in Wisconsin thinks he's "my Prince Charming" (if you saw tonights episode, you would understand...)!!!!!

  

I have enjoyed watching Showtime's origional hit series, Queer as Folk since it aired it's first controvercial episode.  I wanted to see what it was going to be like, and to see what life was like in other people's lives.  I also have a thing for the hot guys on the show as well.  Brian Kinney, played by Gale Harold is one of my favorites.  He is the loud, obnoxious, "who cares what anyone thinks of me, I'm F*ING BRIAN KINNEY!"  The show has had some very great plot structures with regards to issues like; homophobia, AIDS, and the most recent, gay marriage.  Tonight's episode had me on the edge of my seat.  One minute I was laughing at Emmett, and the next I was in tears thinking that one of the other main characters may have been killed in the bombing at Babalon.  This show has helped me to see the pure hatred that some individuals have towards people who are different than them, and how other people choose to live their lives.  I have a pure heart, and believe that we should stop looking at people as gay, straight, Mexican, Catholic, Republican, youth, or old.  We are all human, and that is all that matters in this world.  The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of how much people place a "lable" on others, is that they tend to not look at putting a lable on themselves first.  For example, September 11, 2001...how many people were going around asking, "are you gay, are you a Republican..." instead everyone that came out of those chared buildings, or who were on those planes were not labled...they were human.  The only lables that came out of 9/11/01 were "terrorists, Al-Qeada, and Bin-Ladden".  Maybe we need to look at these type of events and see that in the event of tradegy, we are all human, not labels and use that in our everyday lives instead of being so hypocritical of others.  At this time in the world, we do not need to worry about who in the world is gay or straight, we need to be more worried about who are terrorists, and who are not!
