What am I?

I'm round. The color of my skin is orange. I have half-moon shaped pieces of fruit inside of me that tastes fruity and citric in nature.

People make juice out of me. Some have pulp and some don't. Tropicana makes me from concentrate. And the picture of me on the front of the juice carton is also orange in color.

Sometimes the whole container is colored orange.

Craigslist funny posting for band member (22 years old)

I occasionally frequent Craigslist to see what bands or musicians are seeking, so that an interesting one might make me want to call and hook up.

Out of most of the posts, I found the following to be pretty hilarious. Especially the last sentence.....lol I can relate. This town blows....

Here's the posting for "Musician wanted".

Date: 2008-07-28, 2:40PM EDT

I'm a lead singer/rhythm guitarist and I want to get a record deal. Do you? I need a drummer,lead guitarist,bassist and maybe even some keys. I'm not big headed at all but I do know that when it comes to talented rock singers around here I'm one of the best. I'm with a band right now but I don't know if they have what it takes. I'm looking to do a little mix up of sounds. Style influences include classic rock(zeppelin,styx,van halen,queen)alt rock(My Chemical Romance,audioslave,foo fighters,tool,disturbed) and I even like some hip hop.(by hip hop I just mean the beats).I'm 22, so I need other musicians who are around the same age.18-30 please. No old people. Sorry grandpa's. When it comes to drummers I want someone with "Tool" talent. I'm not really into alot of cymbals, I like hearing drums. When it comes to bass maybe someone who can collaborate strongly with the percussion and rhythm guitar, who can handle sick ass bass solos. Lead guitar is definately key in this, I need a LEAD GUITARIST, someone who is more interested in making the song than taking the song.Jimmy Page-ish/Slash-ish/someone with a knowledge of classic with a newer twist. I want experienced people who all have stage presence and when not on stage manage to stay humble. But by all means be as y as you want on stage, I wanna rock audiences and leave a lasting impression.Anyways hit me up if your interested. Lets make music history, and get the hell outta this god forsaken area.

Bigfoot finally captured

The You Tube video of the beast was taken down by the user  a few days ago. A cop insists he wouldn't jeopardize his reputation if he hadn't captured it.

It's been a big buzz lately. Only time will tell.

Here's the story...

 

Has a real Bigfoot finally been caught?

Is Bigfoot for real?

Maybe...

A Clayton County Police officer says he and a friend have the body of a Bigfoot.

The animal -- a legendary, hairy hominid that supposedly lives in remote forests -- is said to be dead, frozen, and "shocking."

Matthew Whitton, a 28-year-old, who has been with the department for six years, and Rick Dyer, a 31-year-old former correctional officer, posted a video on youtube.com, last week, claiming to have the male Bigfoot corpse.

Whitton and Dyer co-own bigfoottracker.com, offering exploration expeditions in the North Georgia Mountains,

On their web site Whitton and Dyer announced an alleged discovery: "We have located a family of Bigfoot, and besides the clear photos and video, we have something even more shocking, a BODY."

Stay tuned...

The Clayton County Police Department responded to the news with an official statement giving the department some distance.

"That's his own personal business," said Police Chief Jeff Turner. "That has nothing to do with the business of the Clayton County Police Department. As long as he's not engaged in any type of illegal activity, his business is his business."

Turner said it is against department policy for any officer to represent himself or herself online, as an officer or anything other than an individual, private citizen, and said he does not know that Whitton has violated that policy.

Whitton is currently on leave, recovering from a gunshot wound to his left hand during a response to a Stockbridge armed robbery earlier this month.

The people who believe in Bigfoot and are searching for evidence responded to the announcement with a mixture of disbelief, ridicule and hope. The Bigfoot Field Research Organization, a California-based group claiming there have been 61 Bigfoot sightings in Georgia, officially described Whitton and Dyer as "idiots" and "clowns," and warned their claims are a scam to advertise their business.

Tal H. Branco, an Arkansas man who writes a regular column about Bigfoot research, said a lot of Bigfoot people think the whole thing's a hoax, but a lot of people are hoping, too, that they do have a Bigfoot body.

"Maybe Whitton did obtain the hard evidence required to solve one of the world's greatest mysteries," Branco said. "It is apparently being promoted by a police officer that has everything to lose as far as his profession is concerned, if it is a game, a hoax or just a joke. On the other hand, if it is true, and the Bigfoot body is in his custody ... his decision to announce it on an Internet web site before the body was examined by an expert certainly indicates a lack of good judgment."

In one video, posted online by "RDYER678," Whitton and Dyer interview a "pathologist" who is shocked at the Bigfoot, but then, in a follow-up video, the pair admits the "doctor of pathology" is actually Whitton's brother. Standing in a kitchen, Whitton's brother says to the camera, "Live and let live. What happened to that? Guys just trying to have a little fun, you know?"

Dyer said the claims are not a prank, though, and not just an attempt to have fun. Reached on his cell phone Tuesday, he insisted the body is real and will be unveiled on Sept. 1 on the web site.

"Why would we jeopardize Matt's job? Why would we risk the embarrassment of the backlash that we would get? We just have a lot to lose if this is a hoax ... I thought Bigfoot trackers and hunters were ridiculous and I made fun of them, to be honest, and I still do. They know nothing as fact. We do," Dyer said.

Dyer said the Internet announcement and the obvious lie were meant to draw detractors and "build hype." Other Bigfoot researchers were dismissed by Dyer, and he said he and Whitton are the best trackers because they "have a body."

He said the animal is about eight-feet tall, and about equal to the size of "three silverbacks," adult male gorillas, and nothing like the reported descriptions in the books.

"I've never seen anything like this," he said. "It's a lot more than animal."

Dyer did not say how they came into possession of the carcass, and declined to let a news reporter look at it, but swore it was being well-preserved and would be revealed.

Dyer said he and Whitton plan to sell the Bigfoot body and make a lot of money.

"As of right now," he said, "we've been offered a million bucks for it, from a very credible source. But we'll make 10 times that. This will change history forever."

UFO bombshell

Alien contact covered up, says Apollo veteran Edgar Mitchell

 

FORMER NASA astronaut and moonwalker Dr Edgar Mitchell - a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission - has stunningly claimed aliens do exist.

And he says extra-terrestrials have visited Earth on several occasions - but the alien contact has been repeatedly covered up by governments for six decades. 

Dr Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview that sources at the space agency who had had contact with aliens described the beings as 'little people who look strange to us.'

He said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.

Chillingly, he claimed our technology is "not nearly as sophisticated" as theirs and "had they been hostile", he warned "we would be been gone by now".

Dr Mitchell, along with with Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard, holds the record for the longest ever moon walk, at nine hours and 17 minutes following their 1971 mission.

"I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real," Dr Mitchell said.

"It's been well covered up by all our governments for the last 60 years or so, but slowly it's leaked out and some of us have been privileged to have been briefed on some of it.

"I've been in military and intelligence circles, who know that beneath the surface of what has been public knowledge, yes - we have been visited. Reading the papers recently, it's been happening quite a bit."

Dr Mitchell, who has a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering and a Doctor of Science degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics claimed Roswell was real and similar alien visits continue to be investigated.

He told the astonished Kerrang! radio host Nick Margerrison: "This is really starting to open up. I think we're headed for real disclosure and some serious organisations are moving in that direction."

Mr Margerrison said: "I thought I'd stumbled on some sort of astronaut humour but he was absolutely serious that aliens are definitely out there and there's no debating it."

Officials from NASA, however, were quick to play the comments down.

In a statement, a spokesman said: "NASA does not track UFOs. NASA is not involved in any sort of cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe.

'Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue.'

Gorilla chase

There was a man that owned a giant gorilla and, all its life, he'd never left it on its own.

But eventually he had to go on a business trip and had to leave his gorilla in the care of his next-door neighbor.

So he explained to his neighbor that all he had to do was feed his gorilla three bananas a day at three, six and nine o'clock.

But he was never ever, ever to touch its fur.

So the next day the man came and gave the gorilla a banana and looked at it for a while thinking, .Why can't I touch its fur? as their didnt seem to be anything wrong with it.

Every day he came in and looked for a little while longer as he still couldnt understand until, about a week later, he'd worked himself into a frenzy and decided that he was going to touch the gorilla.

He passed it the banana and very gently brushed the back of his hand against its fur.

Suddenly the gorilla went ape <snip> and started to jump around, then it turned and began to running towards the man who, in turn, ran through the front door, over the lawn, across the street, into some one else's sports car and drove off.

In the rear-view mirror, he could see the gorilla in its own sports car, driving right behing him.

He drove for two hours until the engine began to splutter and the car just stopped. He jumped out and began to run down the street, over a brick wall, into someone's front garden and up the apple tree.

He turned around to find the gorilla right behind him beating its chest.

The man jumped down and ran back in to the street screaming, until it became dark and he thought he'd lost the gorilla.

The man ran into an alleyway then, suddenly, he saw a giant shaddow coming down the street ahead.

The gorilla!

It came to the end of the alley, stood and looked striaght into the bloodshoot eyes of the man and came towards him slowly.

This time there was no escape. As the gorilla neared him, the man began to feel faint.

The giant beast came face to face with him, raised its mighty hand and said, Tag! You're it!

Speculators and deregulation blamed for high oil prices

Back in 2000, the word energy was taken out of a bill which only left the word agriculture in it, which passed, and that's how speculators were given a free ride to over-speculate on futures markets. The CFTC was not able to police the speculators anymore. Also, with only a 5 percent margin, they can buy futures on a much larger scale. And when it's time to actually take delivery on the product, they just simply roll it over. Ordering the margin back to about 50 percent, it'll be much harder to to manipulate.

The real price of oil is between 40 and 80 bucks. The rest is the speculator's profits.

So, for those who think supply and demand is the culprit, think again. I won't even get started on who's making more money than the oil companies, which is the world bank and the IMF.

Missing horse

A cowboy walks into a saloon and has a beer. When he's done, he walks out of the saloon and notices his horse is missing.

He runs back inside thinking someone stole his horse, so he makes a big announcement.

He tells everyone that his horse is missing and wants it back. He also says that he'll have one more beer, and after he finishes his beer, if the horse isn't back, he really doesen't want to do what he did back in Texas.

So he sits down and slowly drinks his beer. After he's done, he walks outside, and sure enough his horse is back. As he's mounting his horse, the bartender runs out and asks, By the way cowboy, just outta curiousity, what did you do back in Texas?

The cowboy replies....I had to walk home !
