   Some of the interrogation mechanism’s now available through John Ashcroft’s Patriot Act are just a tad over the edge.

   Thinking it would be the deciding factor in getting an editorial job with the LA Times, this aspiriring scribe still messed up when trying to fork his own tongue.

    Roy was not the first member of the Horn family to have things go awry in the entertainment business. Little known cousin, Bobby, was the first Horn family member to suffer accidental injury while entertaining. Bobby’s lack manual dexterity did not allow him the keen edge required to successfully perform as a knife juggler. (apparently he also had problems with fly fishing). Thus the public was deprived of ever seeing Siegfried and Roy and Bobby perform together.

    Kids in tropical countries used to miss out on the fun of freezing your tongue to a pole, but not anymore.

    Swordplay and Zen. It is here that swordplay becomes an art. Even gubernatorial candidates and the governor-elect in California know to pass on this art form.

    “Introduce me! Ohhhhh, I just love his puppy dog eyes. I can ignore all the rest, and let’s face it, the jewelry and sword stuff is a bit over the top. But those eyes. Those puppy dog eyes!”
