Yes, it happened in Barcelona, Spain the saturday before Christmas this year. Now I don’t know about you, but something seems gross about this; unfair if you will. This woman will be almost 90 when these kids are about to enter college. There is also the possibility they may have neices and/or nephews three times their age. People just seem to be getting a little too carried away with intro fertilization nowadays.

Obviously some people do not take too kindly to another person basking in the pungent smell of their ripe, carrion smelling farts while within smelling distance of others. An example of this comes from North Platte, Nebraska where two men in a small holding cell got into a fight because one of the men kept ripping farts in close proximity to the other. Sheriff Jerome Kramer is quoted as saying:
“You just can’t get a reprieve from one another. “When you’ve got a guy causing problems passing gas, there’s no way to get away from the smell.”
No kidding! LOL!!!

So they caught Rush Limbaugh with 29 viagra tablets at Palm Beach International Airport after he arrived from the Dominican Republic on a private jet. Now why did they have to blow up the man’s spot like that? LOL!!! Guess they haven’t seen these Dominican women? A man would need to stack up on such things to handle one of them, and at his age, the man has got to get it up to keep up, if you know what I mean.
Rush is in some trouble, however. Turns out that the pills apparently were not his, but belonged to a doctor or doctors. Since this one brings a smile to my face, I have to keep up with this one. Rush, I don’t blame ya’ man. Dominican women can be insatiable. So I hear.

The dream has been realized. Our Miami Heat has won the 2006 NBA championship in dramatic, gut wrenching fashion. Again, Dwayne Wade a.k.a “Flash” rose to the occasion.
For you who do not live here to go through the roller coaster season we experienced here with this team, it was certainly the worst of the times and the best of times and the best was the best there could be. Fans questioned the acquisitions and questioned them even more when the players they brought in stunk up the joint. The team failed miserably against the NBA’s elite teams, sometimes being thoroughly embarrassed, even losing in the regular season to the team they beat tonight, the Dallas Mavericks, by over 30 points. When they lost the first two games of this series and looked like the Heat team we saw for much of the year, many of us figured the inevitable might be delayed by one or two games and Dallas would eventually win the championship. Well in a dramatic twist of fate and 6 minutes away from practically being swept in the series, they stormed back to win 4 straight games and snatch victory from what seemed more like the gaping chasm of defeat. Forget jaws.
Interestingly enough, two of the acquisitions actually proved, in the biggest game of the season, to be exactly what they were brought in for. Antoine Walker, much maligned throughout the season, came through in terrific fashion and James Posey played defense to the point where Dallas star, Dirk Nowitski disappeared in the 4th quarter. Not to be forgotten, Alonzo Mourning came up with the game of his life on defense. Point blank Dallas shots were returned to their senders and he dropped in some timely baskets. And then there was Udonis Haslem, busted shoulder and all, coming up with herculean numbers and rebounds.
Dwayne Wade. What can be said about this humble 23 year old? When the Heat was down by 14 points and Dallas seemed poised to run the Heat out of the arena, it was Dwayne Wade who stepped up, sank crowd silencing baskets and got the Heat back into the game where they quickly eased past Dallas to a lead they would not relinquish beyond that point. So for tonight and all of next season until another champion is crowned, South Florida will be proud of their champions, the Miami Heat! Off to South Beach we go!

I’m not sure there has ever been a night in my recent memory I have not seen a story on the news that does not involve some incident caught on camera. We’ve seen them all - robberies, assaults, burglaries, brutal beatings, carjacking’s and other offenses. Some are even funny. I’m almost sure many of the suspects seen in the videos have themselves seen similar type news footage of crimes caught on camera. So tell me, why then do these fools rush in to commit their crimes in this high tech world of cameras and alarms? Sometimes the cameras are not even discreet. Big, huge white moving objects in store corners, some perched atop the corner of roofs and some even right above the entrance doors.
Recently here in South Florida a woman was raped after leaving a popular night time hangout, one with cameras at every turn including the garages. The suspect was caught on camera apparently staking out his victim. His car was also caught on camera as it left the establishment to follow his victim to her home. There were at least two or three pictures of him from different camera angles. Needless to say, that while he was able to get away with his brutal crime, it did not take long for police to find him and arrest him. Guess it is true that fools do rush in, in this case, without checking their surroundings

There is a guy around these parts, about 6 feet 3 inches, maybe a little past 200 pounds or so. He has done some amazing things not seen in years and has galvanized the South Florida community. We have all watched his progression since he came here and thrilled to see where he has arrived and has, by his exploits, taken our emotions. I am speaking of one other than the super special, Dwayne Wade, shooting guard for the Miami Heat basketball team. He is the talk around the water cooler today in many south Florida offices as well as offices nationwide.
Unfortunately, Dwayne’s shining moments in these NBA playoffs might be falling under the radar of many around here because of the huge amount of soccer fans in this area of the world, however, ESPN and other sports agencies have taken notice of what we already knew here in South Florida and that is, that Dwayne Wade is a very special player. “Flash” is becoming an icon not just in this area, but in the annals of basketball and also sports history and he is only 23.
In one game earlier this year against perennial powerhouse, Detroit, he scored 17 straight points to help the Heat win what seemed like a sure loss to the Detroit Pistons. If not for that game, the Heat would have lost 4 games to Detroit this year in the regular season without one win against their heated rivals. We now know what he did to Detroit in the playoffs. For all who know him and for us who have seen him all year long on he local stations, this is not really a surprise, but I think the showcase he is putting on exceeded even the most ardent fan. On a night when the Dallas Mavericks labeled Dwayne as enemy number 1, employing every possible defensive scheme to stop him including hard fouls and triple teams, he still scored 43 points and most of them in pressure situations, two of them at the free throw line while standing there all alone, thousands of fans cheering with 1.9 seconds on the game clock, his team down by one, needing one to keep their season and championship drive alive and another to put his team in the driver’s seat. He calmly sank both free throws, neither one touching the rim. Nothing but net. They might as well have been daggers placed with precision into the hearts of the collective Dallas team and organization, at least for this Father’s Day night.
Miami is a city in a county once called “Dade County.” In the minds of his fans, the area has become affectionately known as “Wade County.” Watching him play, you would know why.
