Life Lessons learned from watching Horror Films

1. Don't split up...that's when everything goes from bad to worse
   
2. When in a creepy place (local haunted\abandoned house etc.), don't have sex...those people always go first
3. Related to #2: it's always good to be a virgin or to bring one along...that person usually has the power to break the current curse
   
4. Be able to run faster than at least one other person...in case you can't break the curse :)
   
5. Go for the head: A head shot or decapitation usually stops the bad guy\zombie\creature
6. Until you've removed the head, don't stand idly by the slain bad guy\zombie\creature...they're most likely going to cure their wounds and attack again
7. If cornered, always lie to the bad guy\zombie\creature...when they ask "join me or die", say "OK" and then wait for an opportunity to betray them later. Don't say, "No way scum! Death to you and your legions!" as this only invites anger and certain death.
8. ??? You got any more ???

Who Killed the Electric Car?

Have you seen this documentary yet, http://www.whokilledtheelectriccar.com?

I'm ashamed of owning a GM car after watching this -- I will not buy another.

Pictured here is an EV1 -- GM started it in 1996...and just 10 years later had successfully killed almost all traces of it. Ooo, they make me so mad!

New Song -- Questionaire

I have these lyrics swimming in my head...but, I can't decide if it's POP, Metal, ???

When they came to me I was thinking some form of Rock \ Metal -- Maybe something like DIO, Dokken, or some other 80's rockers etc. But then the next day I had some more Pop melodies in my head. If you have any thoughts, let me know:

You know I'm no good for you
You know that I'll destroy you
You know that you should...fly away...

You knew it from the start
That I would break your heart
You knew that you should...fly away...

fly away...fly away...fly away...fly away...

If you hang around to see
I'll take you down with me
And you'll wish you had...flown away...

You'll feel the burning fire
Of unreachable desire
And you'll wish that you had...flown away...

flown away...flown away...flown away...flown away...

[Guitar Solo]

You decided you should stay
And you curbed my evil ways
And I'm glad you didn't...fly away...

My soul's internal fire
Won't be my funeral pyre
Because you didn't...fly away...

fly away...fly away...fly away...fly away...

Fall

I love fall, for its
Fall trees...
and Fall leaves.
Of Red, yellow and orange...
and the cool breezes, blowing swirls of color

Someone at Stouffer's LEAN Cuisine messed up

I found these at the store tonight...The "Teriyaki" box shows the chicken on a bed of noodles; The "Chow Mein" box shows the chicken on a bed of rice??? Hmmm, do they know what Chow Mein or Teriyaki is?

From Wikipedia:
Chow mein (also known as chao mian in Chinese-speaking communities) is a generic Chinese term for a dish of stir-fried noodles, of which there are many varieties.
Also from Wikipedia:
Teriyaki (kanji: 照り焼き; hiragana: てりやき) is a cooking technique used in Japanese cuisine in which foods are broiled or grilled in a sweet soy sauce marinade (tare in Japanese).

*Notice how the chicken in the "Chow Mein" box looks like it has a teriyaki sauce on it...while the "Teriyaki" box, above, appears to be lacking the teriyaki.

Hmmm, Stouffer's needs a little quality control?
