Here's how it works: I give you three songs, you figure out the connection. It could be anything. Ready?

1. Billy Joel - Pressure

2. Meatloaf - Paradise by the Dashboard Light

3. Tim Curry - I Do The Rock

Very nice car! Beautifully restored, great paint job, and I like your choice in rims. I got a real good look at your car since I nearly broadsided you when you decided that the red light in the left turn lane on Crow Canyon Road didn't apply to you. So, despite the presence of oncoming traffic, you gunned it through the intersection.

Guess you didn't see me, huh? With my load, my truck massed about 7,200kg. I was doing about 72km/h. When I saw you flashing in front of me, I stood on my air brakes. I nearly lost control of my truck trying to avoid killing you. It took every ounce of my driving skill to keep from going off the road into a telephone pole or hitting another innocent driver.

And rest assured, dear lady, had I not abused my brakes and tires, I would have killed you. Had I not seen you coming around, my truck would have hit your little car like Juggernaut. My front end is just high enough to allow me to roll large portions of your car underneath the truck. My engine would have ended up in your lap. That's assuming the collision didn't break your fool neck, or the shattering glass and metal didn't kill you.

I was so shaken up by this near miss that I ended up sitting on the side of the highway for about 15 minutes trying to collect myself. I almost flipped a turn to follow this bitch and either commit felony assault with a deadly weapon on her, or call the cops and get her ass busted.

I can only hope that when she finally does kill herself, she doesn't take anyone with her.

Hey y'all!

714!!!!

714!!!

Bonds Ties the Babe With Home Run No. 714

Barry, meet the Babe. Barry Bonds tied Babe Ruth for second place on the career list with his 714th home run Saturday, ending a nine-game drought with a shot into the first deck of elevated stands in right-center leading off the second inning against the Oakland Athletics.

The ball landed about eight rows up in the seats overlooking the high fence just to the left of the out-of-town scoreboard. Though the A's don't provide estimated distances on home runs, the ball appeared to travel about 400 feet — far from being one of his trademark behemoth drives.

Booed when he was introduced before the game, the San Francisco star received a long standing ovation after his home run, and the game was delayed about 90 seconds.

The ball was caught on the fly by 19-year-old Tyler Snyder of nearby Pleasanton, who was cheered by fans around him and quickly left the Coliseum with his souvenir.

Bonds had gone 29 at-bats without a homer since hitting No. 713 with a 450-foot drive May 7 in Philadelphia. His teenage son, Nikolai, a Giants bat boy, was waiting for him at home plate and they embraced.

Got a hair cut today... more of a mowing.

My hair has been buzzed down to 1/16th on an inch. I can do a decent impersonation of Rob Halford now. Or Anton LeVay

Pictures will follow.

This was done for comfort and convenience. I have pretty thick hair, and it bugs me on hot days. I also have to be careful about falling asleep with damp hair, or going out on windy days. No longer a problem! Also, I'll save time and money due to lowered shampoo usage and faster drying after showers.

I really need to hit Goodwill before the con and find a black turtleneck and long black coat.
