Upgrade
I just upgraded WordPress (the software used to run the site) to version 1.5. Everything seems to be running fine. I’m not really sure what took me so long to do it except that I was scared to screw up.
Plenty of more updates to come.
Yes!!!!
We have achieved internet access.
Thank God.

A woman walks into the downtown welfare office, trailed by 15 kids…
“WOW,” the social worker exclaims, “are they ALL YOURS???”
“Yep they are all mine,” the flustered momma sighs, having heard that question a thousand times before. She says, “Sit down Leroy.”
All the children rush to find seats.
“Well,” says the social worker, “then you must be here to sign up. I’ll need all your children’s names.”
“This one’s my oldest – he is Leroy.”
“OK, and who’s next?”
“Well, this one he is Leroy, also.”
The social worker raises an eyebrow but continues. One by one, through the oldest four, all boys, all named Leroy. Then she is introduced to the eldest girl, named Leighroy!
“All right,” says the caseworker. “I’m seeing a pattern here. Are they ALL named Leroy?”
Their Momma replied, “Well, yes – it makes it easier. When it is time to get them out of bed and ready for school, I yell, ‘Leroy!’
An’ when it’s time for dinner, I just yell ‘Leroy!’ an’ they all comes arunnin.’
An’ if I need to stop the kid who’s running into the street, I just yell ‘Leroy’ and all of them stop. It’s the smartest idea I ever had, namin’ them all Leroy.”
The social worker thinks this over for a bit, then wrinkles her forehead and says tentatively, “But what if you just want ONE kid to come, and not the whole bunch?”
“I call them by their last names.”

Mardi Gras
As some of you may know, its Mardi Gras time.
Gather around boys and girls and I’ll tell you a Mardi Gras related story.
Several years ago, Coors Light had their worst Mardi Gras related sales ever. Bud Light had record sales – never duplicated. No one has ever been able to figure out the reason.

Chili Cook Off
Notes From An Inexperienced Chili Taster Named FRANK, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast:
“Recently I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment, and I happened to be standing there at the judge’s table asking directions to the beer wagon when the call came. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn’t be all that spicy, and besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted. ”
Here are the scorecards from the event:
Chili #1: Mike’s Maniac Mobster Monster Chili
JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.
JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor, very mild
FRANK: Holy shit, what the hell is this stuff? You cold remove dried
paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that’s the worst one. These Texans are crazy.
Chili #2: Arthur’s Afterburner Chili
JUDGE ONE: Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
FRANK: Keep this out of reach of children! I’m not sure what I am suppose to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.
