TARP was supposed to encourage banks to increase financing for U.S. businesses and consumers, lending is actually decreasing on a month-by-month basis.<br /><br />•The Federal Reserve has committed $5.5 trillion and spent $2.1 trillion. These amounts relate to various initiatives aimed at the mortgage crisis and credit freeze, including the Citigroup bailout and the shotgun marriage of JPMorgan and Bear Stearns.<br /><br />•The FDIC has committed $1.5 trillion and spent $149 billion to guarantee Citigroup assets, interbank loans, and prop up GE Capital.<br /><br />•The Treasury has committed $1.1 trillion and spent $597 billion, not including the automaker bailout that will get tapped by GM before year-end. The Treasury's programs include the Troubled Asset Relief Program, tax rebate checks of 2008, tax breaks for banks, and a program to stabilize foreign currency exchange rates.<br /><br />•The FHA has committed and tapped $300 billion to ramp up the Hope for Homeowners program. Hope for Homeowners. The $300 billion initiative is expected to avert fewer than 14,000 foreclosures in its first year. At that rate, it seems doubtful that the resulting equity share arrangements could cumulatively cover the cost of the program-let alone heal the mortgage crisis.<br /><br />Assuming an estimated U.S population of 305 million, you can measure your share by the committed and spent amounts to date. Your share of each is $28,000 and $10,000, respectively.<br /><br />Considering how thoughful the banks have been to you and the BONUSES the execs have got, you should work harder to pay YOUR SHARE of that $28k...don't you think?<br /><br /></div><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"></div></div>NAGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10287210480639635793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13206920.post-18310311202524356192010-02-13T15:15:00.000-08:002010-02-13T15:19:24.548-08:00The gay agenda on Craigslist.<div align="center">Initially it doesn't seem gay, but..</div><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S3czBLcRA8I/AAAAAAAAAfI/ALIKXPXzgP8/s1600-h/c-list.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 324px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437871170417394626" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S3czBLcRA8I/AAAAAAAAAfI/ALIKXPXzgP8/s400/c-list.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center">GAAAAAAYY.....</div><div align="center"><br /> </div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S3cy8uNSfJI/AAAAAAAAAfA/yBlg8VuLvLo/s1600-h/c-list2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 149px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437871093850471570" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S3cy8uNSfJI/AAAAAAAAAfA/yBlg8VuLvLo/s400/c-list2.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div> </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div>NAGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10287210480639635793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13206920.post-41292819207000733452010-02-12T15:32:00.000-08:002010-02-12T15:49:15.095-08:00Ebay feedback found<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S3XlkTOHtaI/AAAAAAAAAe4/__pPK9AFAXo/s1600-h/doohan1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 173px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437504536917292450" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S3XlkTOHtaI/AAAAAAAAAe4/__pPK9AFAXo/s400/doohan1.JPG" /></a>Ah, the fun of leaving EBAY feedback.<br /><br />Feedback is like a box of chocolates; when the product is cheap, most of it sucks, even though it looks sweet.<br /><br />However, I noticed this tidbit while shopping for something.

To this day I found a set of those at an estate sale. They never get used but it is funny to think how things have changed.<br /><br />I even saw the OJ "chase" go down on TV at the Skippers in question.<br /><br />I realized that it was depressing to see that the franchise went down if not just for simple nostalgia, but it was also a sign that this economy was going south, and things would not get better for a while.<br /><br />You could see over the course of the last year that this Skippers was open, the landscape had stopped being maintained, the hours of operation were reduced, the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">outside</span> was collecting dirt on the walls and leaves were staying in parking places that simply were not being filled with cars anymore.<br /><br />The signs were everywhere; this business was not long for this world.<br /><br />Driving by the old Skippers was a bit sad, even as my friends were going "GOOD RIDDANCE". I still felt that it reflected that there was a handful of people who now are no longer even "getting by" and yet another sign that things to come were not so rosy.<br /><br />This is the kind of stuff that really kills me because, counter to what I portray, I am an optimist deep down. I think that you never know what tomorrow brings and just when things seem the shittiest there is something, however small, that will give a bit and it makes the giant hill, at least long term, scalable.<br /><br />Well as I was returning from my favorite car wash, I noticed something.... the sad Skippers had an open sign in the window and it was LIT! The reader boards read "now open" and the place looked livable. Nothing crazy like fresh paint, but the collected dust had been removed, and the windows washed, and the landscape was clean.<br /><br />I decided to check it out and sure enough it was open. There was a skeleton crew and the tills were not working properly and the deliveries were short and the staff was new, but holy shit, about a dozen people are working again and they had given this old <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">franchise</span> CPR and were trying HARD and really working it.<br /><br />It reminded me of the 54 Chevy I once owned because the interior, while clean, is still in the old style and just where it was left when it closed up; They were getting a relic running and while it was sputtering a bit, it was going down the road, and as ANY REAL car guy will tell you; the maiden voyage of a formerly dead car which is now running, is always going to be in the top 3 trips you ever take in that godforsaken vehicle.<br /><br />These guys were trying so hard to make a go of this place, and while we were there- it actually got PACKED! Everyone who came in was a drive by customer and told the people up front how nice it was to see this place back up and running. Every customer was honestly patient and was just happy that someone did a cool thing in this devastating economy.<br /><br />This was a good sign that despite the Government, people hold all the cards to fixing whats wrong.<br /><br />This one stupid business energized 100's of people this evening and put some jobs back in the mix.<br /><br />Whichever supplier this Skipper uses, just got more orders so they may need another selector person at the warehouse? Maybe another route driver too?<br /><br />Then that new guy is able to pay his bills now and maybe he can afford to buy more <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">groceries</span> and fix his house or car which gives the guy who does repairs one more gig to keep his own lights on, and the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">grocery</span> store may see the need for another truck, etc, and etc...<br /><br />Change?<br /><br />Yeah, we are changing the local landscape through taking risks and frequenting our local businesses and all without any help from the Fed.<br /><br />Anyway, I am just glad to see the old Skippers back- it makes me think we can turn it around and we are going to have a great summer.NAGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10287210480639635793noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13206920.post-80384728809611071242010-01-26T22:48:00.000-08:002010-01-26T23:36:40.751-08:00Craigslist Thinktank collectiveWell lets try to get through this installment of the wisdom imparted upon us by the Craigslist.org "intellectuals"...<br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#33ff33;"><em>custom bulit moped - $250 (sw boise)<br /><br /><br />i can build you a moped starting at 250 depending on what you want to have</em><br /></span><br />AH!

A blast from the pastFor those unfamiliar with my "other" unnamed blog, the "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Craigslist</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mensas</span>" is a recurring feature where I showcase the wisdom, knowledge and compelling writing of certain <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Craigslist</span> authors who compose a noteworthy entry, usually in my area, usually displayed in green italics. The criteria used to earn a spot on this legendary list, is creative use of spelling, language, logic, common sense, an IQ score that perhaps is sub-par and any other entry that could be misconstrued as "drug-induced" during composition. In lieu of more description, I will simply get on with it:<br /><br /><em><br /><span style="color:#33ff33;">Dell <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Insperon</span> Laptop (Middleton)<br /><br />This is an older laptop.<br /><br />800 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mhz</span><br />512 Ram<br />20GB hard drive<br /><br />$50</span> </em><br /><em></em><br /><br />An "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Insperon</span>"? - Truly <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">enspyering</span>...<br /><br />Moving on..<br /><br /><em><span style="color:#33ff33;">Weather goat - $25 (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bosie</span>)<br /><br />Hello I have 1 yr. old weather goat I can no longer have.

I though this might be a mean as piss, ass-whupping goat. I guess this "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bosie</span>" based "Man of La <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mancha</span>-goat" won't be arbitrarily kicking my ass anytime soon, because he is just "scared". This obviously begs the question, "Why is he scared"? Being that he is a Goat of the "Weather" it sounds as though he could summon lightning from his goat ass. But perhaps someone envisioned some goat-love and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mancha</span> was not having it. I just may try to kick this <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">satan</span>-eyed beast's goat ass...just to prove a point, I don't care "weather" or not I win either.<br />Spell checker is free, intelligence costs significantly more.<br /><br /><em><span style="color:#33ff33;">ALICE AND CHAIN TICKETS - $50 (BOISE)<br /><br />WE BOUGHT THREE EXTRA TICKETS FOR THE CONCERT IN <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">FEBUARY</span> IF ANY ONE WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE THEM SINGLE OR ALL THREE TICKETS LET US KNOW 50.00 A PIECE THEY WERE BOUGHT FROM THE KNITTING FACTORY SO WE CAN NOT GET THE TICKETS TO AN HOUR BEFORE SHOW IF YOU LIKE A <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error">RECIPT</span> SHOWN FOR PURCHASE WE BE GLAD TO SHOW YOU THANKS EMAIL WOULD BE BEST THANKS<br /></span></em><br /><br />What the hell is this?

It cost $1 to get in and most kids are free. I cant elaborate on how admission works more than that. You can find most anything you could ever want and a ton of crap that you dont want. "Booty" mannequins are everywhere...<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1qqy3apglI/AAAAAAAAAdg/1r96WUQhWaM/s1600-h/IMG00271.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429840091594457682" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1qqy3apglI/AAAAAAAAAdg/1r96WUQhWaM/s400/IMG00271.jpg" /></a><br />I love the Mexican treat that is a jellied Lime skin with coconut stuffed inside; Those are .50 cents of pure endorphins. Also in the morning you must get the breakfast sandwhich with scrambled eggs, frijoles, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and cheese - from the vendor in the red bldg, diagonally from the hooley hooley chicken vendor. </div><div> </div><div>Although I have seen some messed up stuff here in Vegas, like the portapotty that had a feces mountain that stood taller than the toilet seat. To this day I must wonder about the person or persons who "topped off" and created the peak of Softturd Mountain while it was above the toilet seat? Honestly, who does that?</div><div> </div><div>Also a close second is the gentleman who remarked how " If messikins aint gonna talk the language right then theys aint not oughta be here." Truly original commentary, and incoherent swap meet vendor talk is around most everycorner. </div><div> </div><div>Finally the uniform vendor with LITERALLY 2 teeth remaining in his mouth, who is also calling my Dad fat and just busting his balls. Surprisingly Dad is not a fan of that guy. However for $4 you too can own a rubber backed shop rug that will fit under your car!</div><div> </div><div>Nonsense aside, Las Vegas is my second home and if you are visiting Las Vegas, you should make a point to go to Broadacres and I would make sure to bring a cart.<br /><br />You will need it.</div><div></div></div>NAGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10287210480639635793noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13206920.post-86822289365437737442010-01-22T23:44:00.000-08:002010-01-22T23:50:12.047-08:00Not to be outdone, it appears....<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1qpReRgq8I/AAAAAAAAAdY/r2ggEbHLTH8/s1600-h/IMG956807.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429838418397932482" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1qpReRgq8I/AAAAAAAAAdY/r2ggEbHLTH8/s400/IMG956807.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1qpHRv63dI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/cnGx1RPOroQ/s1600-h/IMG956807a.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429838243237125586" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1qpHRv63dI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/cnGx1RPOroQ/s400/IMG956807a.jpg" /></a><br />So the two bastardos from Tinys chop and kustom and Small city cycles decided to go to Portland and I stayed home as usual these days....If I have said it once.......</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Being responsible sucks.<br /><div></div></div>NAGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10287210480639635793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13206920.post-4264366668833147512010-01-22T17:08:00.001-08:002010-01-22T17:10:41.048-08:00I checked the news...I noticed this week that besides Haiti and the earthquake, The Australian open, the anniversary of Roe V. Wade and the Conan O' Brien debacle, Famous people took it on the chin such as; Prince, Betty White, Keri Russell, and Allen Iverson.<br />First, Haiti is a horrible place to begin with. Necklacing, where they set fire to a gasoline soaked tire around your head, is standard practice in Haiti. In Haiti, it is also common practice to use machetes to solve disputes. Most of the population in Haiti has AIDS, and now Haiti has its "so-called" infrastructure destroyed. Its almost a situation where Haiti should just start over.<br /><br />Even with all the bad news in Haiti, the Australian Open went on in full force. Haiti news, or golf; what a choice for news. Although Australia is an amazing country, they removed their right to own firearms, so I am not sure what the golf says about Australia and its priorities, given they don't trust their citizens. The United States overall has open gun laws and our crime is not increasing at the same rate as draconian gun legislation countries or cities.<br /><br />Speaking of choices and judgement calls is "The Rock" in "Tooth Fairy Movie". I don't know what to make of that. I liked the remake of Walking Tall, but then again I liked the original. I am not sure what I can say about Tooth Fairy movie.<br /><br />Perhaps they should get Betty White or Prince involved. Prince seems like a good choice for the Tooth Fairy movie. I always liked Prince in the 80's and he managed to keep the gay / not gay thing going longer than Bowie or Jagger.<br />I don't know what to say about Keri Russell, or Allen Iverson.<br /><br />I hope this sums up my views on the news this week.NAGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10287210480639635793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13206920.post-38026441517773710952010-01-20T19:45:00.000-08:002010-01-20T19:55:57.174-08:00Some pics of mine from the 2005 Asphalt Invitational<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1fPlpM2o1I/AAAAAAAAAdI/OqQh4DFUBYI/s1600-h/DSC00483.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429036121440297810" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1fPlpM2o1I/AAAAAAAAAdI/OqQh4DFUBYI/s400/DSC00483.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1fPY_GBNUI/AAAAAAAAAdA/JzatmCc7r_I/s1600-h/DSC00476.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429035903978911042" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1fPY_GBNUI/AAAAAAAAAdA/JzatmCc7r_I/s400/DSC00476.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1fOqHjN-uI/AAAAAAAAAc4/mbsD_f-rSsY/s1600-h/DSC00485.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429035098795014882" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1fOqHjN-uI/AAAAAAAAAc4/mbsD_f-rSsY/s400/DSC00485.JPG" /></a> </div><br /><br /><div></div></div>NAGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10287210480639635793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13206920.post-29443081226587199882010-01-19T21:50:00.000-08:002010-01-19T21:53:08.369-08:00Its all about how it sits<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1aZ-5NOsGI/AAAAAAAAAco/OA9AJkaBih0/s1600-h/Tinys+ex41.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1aZ-5NOsGI/AAAAAAAAAco/OA9AJkaBih0/s400/Tinys+ex41.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428695706628960354" /></a>NAGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10287210480639635793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13206920.post-32414092634293786222010-01-19T21:14:00.000-08:002010-01-19T21:25:29.144-08:00I love this pic<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1aTggv8QII/AAAAAAAAAcg/mJstEmTD8fY/s1600-h/vwfrau.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 289px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428688587597824130" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1aTggv8QII/AAAAAAAAAcg/mJstEmTD8fY/s400/vwfrau.jpg" /></a> German chick tuning the radio in a KDF.<br /><div></div>NAGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10287210480639635793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13206920.post-68765165251795027772010-01-19T21:08:00.000-08:002010-01-19T21:12:36.452-08:00Places to visit<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1aQDM9qf6I/AAAAAAAAAcY/nV3GhhnyVF0/s1600-h/tikiandtiny.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 262px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428684785535582114" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/S1aQDM9qf6I/AAAAAAAAAcY/nV3GhhnyVF0/s400/tikiandtiny.jpg" /></a> Visit these places before they are all gone.

He got the feeling that it was turning into a necessity and a chore to post something all the time;<br />He got tired.<br />It became a chore.<br />HE liked the blog, but it was just as though he just ran out of steam.<br /><br />Well I have kind of crossed that point myself.<br /><br />I am feeling beat.<br /><br />I am going to complain here for a bit.<br /><br />I have essentially 4 jobs, I work from the time I get up until sometimes well past when I should go to sleep, I never seem to leave my desk.<br /><br />The last vacation I had was Bonneville speed week and my 1964 Pontiac is currently down with a sick starter, fuel pump and a tired old battery.<br /><br />My long distance sniper rifle is out of commission.<br /><br />My credit is in the toilet, and I have never missed a payment.<br /><br />I cant even enjoy the snow because I am behind on my work.<br /><br />I have too much ebay inventory to ever price and sell.<br /><br />I am perpetually tired, and when I really sleep in, it seems to get worse.<br /><br />so now that I have bitched my ass off, what do I want?<br /><br />I need a week off with nothing to do. I need to sleep and when I wake up, I want to not hurry.<br /><br />I want to have a stopping point where the work is TRULY done.<br /><br />I want to build things that people want, and that I enjoy making and sell that.<br /><br />I want to make cool stuff everyday. I want to go to MY shop.<br /><br />This must be the Gen X equivalent of mid life crisis....for baby boomers, this would be their time to go on a<br /><br />spending spreee and make a ton of cash to support their spending habit.<br /><br />I instead want to, essentially, QUIT.NAGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10287210480639635793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13206920.post-53165751063407759002009-11-23T11:32:00.000-08:002009-11-23T11:33:57.107-08:00"Look at how dumb the the guy in the blue shirt looks, yo"<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/SwrjSC4j3FI/AAAAAAAAAcE/CxzkjrwSwdA/s1600/f-loc+and+ray-ray.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 295px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 335px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407384201762954322" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/SwrjSC4j3FI/AAAAAAAAAcE/CxzkjrwSwdA/s400/f-loc+and+ray-ray.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div>NAGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10287210480639635793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13206920.post-46178618131855229432009-11-01T23:21:00.000-08:002009-11-01T23:28:13.121-08:00I think the dead beat posted the ad<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/Su6JH1RzQpI/AAAAAAAAAb8/XEZIxWUfml4/s1600-h/issues.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 231px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399403770917634706" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/Su6JH1RzQpI/AAAAAAAAAb8/XEZIxWUfml4/s400/issues.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jR1kDMTPj98/Su6IntEAjJI/AAAAAAAAAb0/7LvNKnOvPU4/s1600-h/issues.JPG"></a><div align="center">Dead beat "DADS" plural?<br /></div><div></div>NAGAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10287210480639635793noreply@blogger.com0
