Funny, edgar. I do remember paying bills on the first of the month. That was simpler.

MOSCOW – The winner of the Karaoke World Championships may not achieve world fame, but at least he or she won't have to worry where the next meal is coming from — the top prize is 1 million Russian dumplings.
With an unusual purse like that, it's clear that karaokists retain a sense of humor about a pursuit as derided as it is popular. But they're also serious enough about it to have traveled from as far away as Australia and Nigeria for a three-day battle-of-the-no-bands in a Moscow banquet hall.
The first night of the competition Thursday seems to show that karaoke is at a tipping point. It's gone far beyond caterwauling in front of a group of sozzled buddies and regretting it the next morning; most of those on stage here have serious pipes and carefully worked-out moves. Yet it retains the casual camaraderie of a barroom at midnight.

Now further humor.

It's still a favourite of mine ed. When I was a child I imagined she was wending her way round the foothills when she was coming. I grew out of that interpretation at some point but I can't remember when it was.

I always figured that old red rooster was pretty tough eating, even boiled.

tastes much like crow, i'd imagine...

When Jason Grodensky bought his modest Fort Lauderdale home in December, he paid cash. But seven months later, he was surprised to learn that Bank of America had foreclosed on the house, even though Grodensky did not have a mortgage.

Grodensky knew nothing about the foreclosure until July, when he learned that the title to his home had been transferred to a government-backed lender. "I feel like I'm hanging in the wind and I'm scared to death," said Grodensky. "How did some attorney put through a foreclosure illegally?"

Bank of America has acknowledged the error and will correct it at its own expense, said spokeswoman Jumana Bauwens.

I applaud the rescue shaft being drilled to resue the miners. What I wonder is, why did they wait until someone got trapped to drill it?

Wow.....

He he.

LONDON — A wealthy British businessman who owns the company that makes the two-wheeled Segway people transporter has been found dead in a river in northern England after apparently falling off a cliff on one of the vehicles, police said Monday.

The body of 62-year-old James Heselden and a Segway personal transporter were found in the River Wharfe and he was pronounced dead at the scene, West Yorkshire police said.

Police said a witness had reported seeing a man fall Sunday over a 30-foot drop into the river near the village of Boston Spa, 140 miles north of London.
