| Larry - Hi all, Since I can’t have my annual Lights in the Heights party this year because I moved off the route, I am going to host the Tues night Christmas skate at my house (Dec. 13th). Instead of meeting at TAS, we will be meeting at my house, doing a nice social 8 – 10 mile skate to view Christmas lights in the Heights area & then heading back for a party! We will have food, drinks, music, fire & most likely video. Everyone is welcome to bring food or drink if they like – I will have beer & other drinks here. I am sure we can talk Joel (and/or Joelle!) into bringing some wassail.
There will be plenty of street parking (nice wide streets here) and I will hand out maps before the skate with directions to my house or post directions via email.
Hope to see you out. And if you don’t want to skate, please come by anyone and enjoy a Christmas party with the skate group.
Laurie
P.S. If you have a Christmas costume or lights – wear em & we will be our own Christmas parade!
| Larry - CALLING ALL SKATERS:
The makers of the movie "Headhunter" would like skaters to come be a part of the Art Car Parade scene shooting on Saturday, Nov 12. Kristy and I are meeting at Re-Hab bar (1920 Houston Avenue...where the bike trail meets Houston Avenue) at 10:30 to decorate the skater sag wagon and then head down to the shooting location. Anyone who wants to ride with us in back of her truck are welcome otherwise just meet at the Crocket Street overpass (link below).
The director is hoping to have some colorful costumes around the cars but I believe a volunteer skater shirt from any of the art car parades will work as well. The Art Cars were instructed to be there at 10am but the casting company said for skaters to be there by Noon and expect to run till at least 4pm. So, we’ll be going at 11am just in case...

I realize this is last moment but wouldn’t be a skater event otherwise, right? So get your skates on and let’s show these people the Houston Skate Force in all its glory!
Hope to see many of you there!
| Larry - Two old guys talking.
One said to the other: "My 85th birthday yesterday. Wife gave me an SUV".
Other guy: "Wow, that's amazing! Imagine, an SUV! What a great gift!"
First guy: "Yup. Socks, Underwear and Viagra!"

| Larry - Which side of the fence?
If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!
If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrat’s demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it..
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".
| Larry - Origin of Left & Right
I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left." By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:
"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Ecclesiastes 10:2
Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.
Can't get any simpler than that.
Spelling Lesson:
The last four letters in American ... I Can.
The last four letters in Republican ... I Can.
The last four letters in Democrats ... Rats.
End of lesson. Test to follow in November, 2012
Remember – November is to be set aside as RODENT EXTERMINATION MONTH!

All the patients were shouting, '13....13....13.'
The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks, so I looked through to see what was going on.....
Some crazy bastard poked me in the eye with a stick!
Then they all started shouting '14....14....14....
| Larry - Did you know that President Barack Hussein Obama flew Bo, their DOG , in
on a separate smaller jet to Maine for their vacation? I wonder if that sets
well with all the unemployed, hurting, U S citizens who can't afford food,
but we can pay for this. The above is true. I Googled "Bo the dog flying
to Maine " and got 76,700 references verifying this. One of them follows:
Michelle Malkin: Just Plane Crazy: Obama’s Dog Flies to Vacation on
Separate Jet Doug Powers:
The Obamas arrived at their vacation spot in Maine , and
the local paper, the Morning Sentinel, described the scene:
The president was the first to walk onto the tarmac, dressed casually in a
pale blue Oxford shirt and khakis. A few minutes later, the first lady,
dressed in black caprice, a tank-top and sandals, walked onto the runway.
Shortly afterward, Malia and Sasha joined their parents. Baldacci and his
wife, Karen, presented the family with gift bags full of Maine-made goodies,
including baskets made by the Passamaquoddy Tribe, popcorn from Little Lad’s
Bakery in East Corinth, iconic L.L. Bean bags, University of Maine ice
hockey hats, and an assortment of other Maine foods and books.
Karen Baldacci said the bags for Malia and Sasha contained one loon toy
and one chickadee toy that sound their natural calls. Arriving in a small jet
before the Obama’s was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as
a present by the late U S Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.; and the president’s
personal aide Reggie Love, who chatted with Baldacci.
The president who said the rest of us are going to have to sacrifice to
get out of these hard economic times let his dog fly on his own plane? Not
enough room on Air Force One (a Gulfstream on this trip) for a Portuguese
water dog and Reggie Love?
My dog saw this story and wants his own jet now, too.
Oh, by the way, Mr. Love, Bo's handler, is paid $102,000 a year to take
care of him. What side of the ballot will you mark in November? This man is
taking the nation for every cent he can and then some.
| Larry -
A Simplified Explanation.
The folks who are getting free shit, don't like the folks who are paying for
the free shit, because the folks who are paying for the free shit, can no
longer afford to pay for both the free shit and their own shit.
And, the folks who are paying for the free shit, want the free shit to stop.
And the folks who are getting the free shit, want even MORE free shit on top
of the free shit they're already getting!
Now..... The people who are forcing the people who PAY for the free shit,
have told the people who are RECEIVING the free shit, that the people who
are PAYING for the free shit, are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.
So .... the people who are GETTING the free shit, have been convinced they
need to HATE the people who are PAYING for the free shit by the people who
are forcing the people who are PAYING for the free shit and GIVING them the
free shit in the first place. Now.... Ain't THAT some SHIT!
| Larry - President Obama has just confirmed that the DC earthquake occurred on a rare and obscure fault-line, apparently known as "Bush's Fault".
Obama also announced that the Secret Service continues an investigation of the quake's suspicious ties to the Tea Party.
Conservatives however have proven that it was caused by the founding fathers rolling over in their graves.
