The way I heard it, he overdosed on caffiene, started screaming "Sam
Donaldson is the great Satan!" and threw pretzels at everyone until Ann
punched him.
It's probably just a rumor.

I must put the rumors to rest.  Actually, the reason I was laughing so hard
was because of the show that followed Ann and Sandy's.  You see, it was
ladies' night, and Cliff and Paul Savage were up there "dancing" (who goes
to see the steps?) around. Cliff had this pair of bikini underwear on that
read "Mighty Apollo SYSOP."
 
Of course, I wasn't laughing near as hard as the women in the audience.

Joy, even in the saddest moments
And a sense of calm even in
Moments of chaos...
Every man desires these qualities,
Some even search to the ends of the Earth.
 
To smile in the face of sorrow
And to laugh in the face of pain
Revel in the spoils of victory
And to lose honorably
Never to speak a harsh word or
To judge another without judging yourself
Old world values are sometimes the best.
 
If you have all of these qualities,
Surely you are a man of the world.
 
And all of your dreams should be within your reach.
 
Find yourself, find the person inside
And help that person to grow, and to flourish
Gather the seeds of happiness and plant them generously.

that you make. Seems kinda boring, when you consider that you know the punch

First of all, do you believe everything that "little birds" tell you?  Do
you always talk to animals?  What ELSE do you do with animals, Ann?  Sicko.

Second of all, if I was in town that weekend, it was a coincidence.  And a
lucky one, too, for whoever it was that decided to let me take the credit. 
Which is fine with me.  Sure, I'll take the credit, why not?  I'll let
everyone think I'm a wild, crazy guy with a wild, crazy sense of humor.  Why
should I mind?

Who sent me a sacreligious picture but you?

Who does not appriciate Twisted Sister but you?

Who stays up so late at night but you?

Whos finger prints were on Thang but yours?

These all add up to point the finger at the guilty party - you!

I did not add them up at first and accused poor James Hawley of this
dastardly deed. Why don't you give me a full confession?

Ann, I think we've found the HOLE in your reasoning.  

First of all, ducks are not "little birds".  Likewise, little birds do not
go "quack quack".  Canaries - they're little birds.  Pigeons are even -
little birds.  But ducks?  Uh uh.  I reccomend you subscribe to Ranger Rick.

Secondly, you claim my fingerprints were all over the thang.  You can't be
serious.  I was wearing gloves the whole time, honest!  Actually, since
you've never met me, seen me, or talked to me, there is no way you could
have my prints.  I am not on file at the police dept.  Unless....unless ROD
gave them to you!  That traitor!

Thirdly, why would I want to get revenge on you, SWEET LIL' ANNIE BABY?

Fourthly, why are you being so secretive about your informants, i.e. the
little birds who told you it was me?  Perhaps if I were able to confront
him/her/them about it, they'd FESS UP!  YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE OUT THERE. 
Probably a group-masterminded plot to set me up.

Fifthly, Dee Snyder is butt-ugly.  You know that.  So what's the problem?

Sixthly, you're just a big stubborn AZZ-HORE.

Date: 07/29/88  Time: 04:32:36

Koop's point is a valid one. He is saying that while a diet low in saturated
fats and cholesterol will offer a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease,
there are genetic factors to consider. If your family history shows little
or no such illness, it is probably not necessary to severely restrict your
intake of all fats. Simple moderation may be all that is called for. On the
other hand, if heart disease and high serum cholesterol levels are common in
your family, a diet severely limiting fat intake, as well as close
monitoring of cholesterol is necessary.

Besides, all the man is doing is his job. Finding facts that affect the

looking for it? It must be something very important because they were going
very far!
After a while, Sandy cried "LOOK! The clouds are parting a bit"!
"Yes. They are and that place looks familiar" said Nick.
Ann looked smug. "Ha! I should have guessed this is where Dean would take us
on our quest. It's the wierdest, most decadent place on earth and also the
hardest one to go on a quest in"!
"It does look a bit familiar Ann" said Sandy, "But I can't see good enough
to really tell."
"My friends, this place is no other than 'Fruitcakeland' California! Good
old Hollywood to those of you that don't know! Your really rotten Dean to do
this to us!"
Before Dean could reply, the van started decending very rapidly. Now they
could all see clearly and where they were going to land.
"Oh no" cried Cliff. "We're going to land right on ...........

... Dolly Parton sunbathing NUDE!  But she started turning over and
deflected us into her large swimming pool.

"Just as well, the van needed a good washing anyway", said James.

"Have you ever washed that thang?", Ann asked.  James wasn't sure what she
was talking about since his shorts had just slipped down.  Ann started
smiling.  "I've seen that before.  If I could just remember where..."

James jumps back in the van, and drives it out of the pool.  Dolly pulls her
top on and comes over and starts flirting with Nick.  "I just LOVE guys who
wear all black!", she said with a Southern purr.  "If only Johnny Cash
weren't married."

Nick starts to say something, but everyone jumps into the van.  "Hey, we're
going to see the Carson show, want to come?", screams Ann in her raspy
cigarette voice.

Dolly hops in, and off they are to stand in line in the hot sun to get
tickets!

        I read in the Republic this morning that if tobacco became illegal
that addicts of this drug would turn to crime just as heroin addicts do.
        A cigatette smoker usually uses about 20 cigarettes per day but a
herion addict only shoots up several times a day.  If heroin were made legal
a lot of crime would not happen.  A heroin addict can function while on that
drug just as a cigatette smoker can maintain.  Take nicotine away from a
smoker and watch them freakout, same as with a heroin addict.  I heard it
was more difficult to 'kick' tobacco than heroin.
        A heroin addict that I know explained to me that when he wakes up in
the morning, he feels like he has a cold and generally feels 'down'.  The
first thing he wants is a 'fix' to put him 'right'.  The same applies to a
nicotine user.  
        Both can function but both need their drug in order to do so.
        Some day in the far distant future, it may be discovered that
mankind was addicted to animal meat and other animal protein such as cheese
and milk.  Certainaly, if humans gave these substances up, many would die
but the remainder, the survivors, would have bodies like we would not
believe.  We would be lighter, stronger, and more intelligent.  We would not
have to send these substances through our system as they slow us down with
weight and make us hotter from digestion.   
        Perhaps someday, far from now, humans will not need to visit the
toilet as often as he does now.           ADDICTS ALL!         Rod

I can't sleep.  I spent too much time of the beach, and got a sunburn.  It
was Black's Beach, so I hurt ALL OVER.
Seriously, I kept my swimsuit on.  Most people there do; there's some places
you don't want a sunburn.  That's a great beach though; not too crowded (at
least compared to Pacific Beach or La Jolla Shores) and excellent surf.

    Well, you could rub on some suntan lotion, but that has it's own little
problems.

Probably it's not crowded because you have to walk forty miles down a damn
mountain to get there.

It's not crowded because everybody's partying over at my place. . . 
 

 
Seriously, I bought a place, but it's not finished yet, so that can't be the
reason I have a life.
