  1. Myself and three friends played Monopoly once, nonstop, from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. With only an occasional break to go get more beer!! There were some other stimulants involved as well. I swore after that, I'd never play that damn game again!!

    This was in the summer of 1976, and I've not touched it since!!

  2. Have special plans this 09/09/09?

    Everyone from brides and grooms to movie studio execs are celebrating the upcoming calendrical anomaly in their own way.

    In Florida, at least one county clerk's office is offering a one-day wedding special for $99.99. The rarity of this Sept. 9 hasn't been lost on the creators of the iPod, who have moved their traditional Tuesday release day to Wednesday to take advantage of the special date. Focus Features is releasing their new film "9," an animated tale about the apocalypse, on the 9th.

    Not only does the date look good in marketing promotions, but it also represents the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that we'll see for almost a century (until January 1, 2101), or a millennium (mark your calendars for January 1, 3001), depending on how you want to count it.

    Though technically there's nothing special about the symmetrical date, some concerned with the history and meaning of numbers ascribe powerful significance to 09/09/09.

    For cultures in which the number nine is lucky, Sept. 9 is anticipated - while others might see the date as an ominous warning.

  3. Lady walks into an ice cream parlor on a hot day.

    "I'd like a gallon of chocolate ice cream", she says.

    "I'm sorry ma'am, but we've had a run on chocolate in this weather and we just ran out. We've got 30 other flavours, so please pick one of them." replied the clerk.

    "Oh well, I guess I'll just have a quart of chocolate then."

    "Ma'am, perhaps you didn't hear me. We are completely out of chocolate ice cream, but I'll be happy to sell you another flavour."

    "Oh. Better make it just a pint of chocolate then."

    The clerk has had enough at this point and asks, "Listen, lady, spell the 'VAN' in 'vanilla'."

    The lady is puzzled, but replies "V-A-N".

    "OK, now spell the 'STRAW' in 'strawberry'. he says.

    She slowly replies, "S-T-R-A-W", still not sure what he's up to.

    "OK, now spell the "FUCK" in 'chocolate'."

    She looks at him and says, "There's no 'fuck' in chocolate!'

    He shouts back, "That's what I'm tryin to tell you, lady!"
