J2times Winner's Column

FINALLY ! A contest winner actually submitted a column for posting , So without further wait .....Here it is from J2Times.

I must say, I was surprised to see that I won (tied) the picture contest for last week. I thought for sure that Rich G had won hands down.

So, as the mandatory TDC line goes, “Let’s do this!”

This will mark the 12th year that I’ve been out here on the east coast. I moved out here from Colorado and still miss it. Some of the best beer in the world is there, like Odell, New Belgium Brewing Company, and “Shoot the Shit” at Flying Dog Brewery.

It was a long weekend for a lot of us Colorado natives. Many of us believed that we were once again heading to the Super Bowl. Number 7 still prevailed in Denver, unfortunately he was playing for the other team. Here’s something for any Bronco fans out there to help with the pain. Elway v. Montana – The Definitive Answer.

For all of you conspiracy theorists, Denver International Airport has some believing that this is more than just an airport. While I don’t buy into this, I’ve seen the murals and they are creepy – especially when you consider that they were commissioned.

Some of the murals have been modified or completely painted over. But they look(ed) like this, the two girls in the coffins – the Jewish girl and the black girl, and finally, there is the blue-eyed blonde-haired boy with the iron fists, hammering out a sword.

All that reminds me of something Richie brought up in the forums a few days ago. Art Bell, of America Coast-to-Coast , lost his wife Ramona a few nights ago to an unexpected asthma attack. I’ve spent many nights listening to Art when I couldn’t sleep and I send my deepest condolences to him. I don’t buy into many of the topics on the Coast-to-Coast show, but Art is a wonderful talk show host and a very good interviewer.

Next time your wife, girlfriend, or anyone of the fairer sex makes you shake your head in bewilderment, think about Mil and his girlfriend Margret and thank your lucky stars.

Prisoners’ Dilemma is a game frequently displayed in television police dramas. Two partners in crime are separated into separate rooms at the police station and given a similar deal. If one implicates (cheats) the other, he may go free while the other receives a life in prison. If neither implicates (colludes) the other, both are given moderate sentences, and if both implicate the other, the sentences for both are severe.

After running a campaign based on Anti-Americanism, it appears as if that was a losing platform for the Liberal party in Canada.

Speaking of Canada, here’s the invasion plan.

With all the talk about free speech in the forums, isn’t it interesting that the Washington Post shut down its blog in response to angry, vulgar attacks aimed at the papers ombudsman. Hmmm, the isn’t it the media that is always screaming free speech no matter what may be compromised?

Finally, a little pitch:

My fiancée and I spend countless hours volunteering for Phoenix Landing. We help place parrots into caring long-term homes. Many of the birds were kept in horrible condition and the organization strives to ensure that every bird we place into an adoptive home is one that is permanent. Besides this service, the organization provides educational seminars (always free to the public) and is in the process of building the “Landing.” The “Landing” will be a place where people can will their birds when they die. In effect, owners will set up a trust with the organization, and they will be guaranteed that the bird will receive care for the rest of its life – for those who don’t know, the bigger parrots can live 60 – 80 years.

We are always looking for help, so if you can, thanks!
