Hoot's Friday Fill In

Hello there. Sorry about the missed column yesterday but I had a few celebratory b-day drinks Wed. night and well no column was to be had. I saw Richie that night and he said he would do one for me but he failed to come through or so I thought. Then on Thursday night I saw Rich at the Reef and he tells me that he went to do the column Wednesday night but he could not get on his computer. Turns out some sort of magnetic storm, little gremlins or space aliens fried his comp together with his tv and it melted the insides. Yea I know it sounds fishy but this is what the computer guy told him. Either way he has no access to do the column or answer any emails or messages and he wants me to tell you that he should be back up and runnig with a new pc sometime next week. He sends his hello to all. Until then you are stuck with me. Ha ha!!!

This is freaky. Baby born with two heads!!!

Another sports star goes bad. Former major league slugger Albert Belle was sentenced to three months in jail and five years of supervised probation Thursday for stalking his ex-girlfriend.

I think this has been posted before but I will put it again. Throw paper.

How much should your payraise be??

Or are you getting laid off? Well just go dumpster diving. At least that is what Northwest Airlines says. In a remarkable bit of corporate insensitivity, Northwest Airlines brass gave workers it is laying off a booklet offering "101 Ways To Save Money," including "don't be shy about pulling something you like out of the trash" and "ask your doctor for samples of prescriptions."

That is all. Everyone have a great weekend.

See ya. Peace. Hoot23
