Condoms don't guarantee safe sex. A friend of mine was wearing one during sex and was Shot dead by the woman's husband.
Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.
Marriage lets you annoy one special person for the rest of your life.

The Death of Redemption
I met the messiah on an overcast morn While we both stood in line for the dole. Frostbite nights in his carton on Montegue St. Had visibly taken their toll. Still, the smile that he gave me promised some hope As we shared a cold throwaway “Remember son, that the game must be won before you reach the end of day”. —– I didn’t see him the following week Though I thought that I once heard his voice. I started work as a fast food temp I didn’t really have any choice. A glimpse of a smile on a hamburger More >

The Security System
Madge and Bill lived in a neighborhood which, in their words, “was going to the dogs”. Their five bedroom New Jersey house boasted matching wallpaper and carpets, a dining table that could comfortably sit 20 people but never did, and a waterless dolphin shaped swimming pool in the back garden which they were very proud of. They moved in, seven years earlier, together with their twin poodles Tweedledumb and Tweedledunn, one dead parrot (an heirloom) and their four kids Mark Anthony, Fletcher, Donna and Jor-el ( they were founder members of the local Marlon Brando Fan Club). East Gandol was More >
The High Heel Marathon
Not everyone gets to participate in the Olympics or even the New York Marathon, what about all the fashion conscious women around who wouldn’t be caught dead without a pair of high heeled Pradas. For these fine women, and the occasional man (see below), the high heel marathon was invented.

Angry Birds, Super Mario and Glee
Angry Birds is a multi level smartphone game making history. Almost 10 million copies of it have been downloaded. At present count there are over 600 levels to the game with more being added all the time. The idea behind the game is to kill or blow up an army of pigs using a catapult and a variety of egg laying and exploding birds. Yes I know it sounds stupid but can 10 million people be wrong? The game calls for a combination of accuracy and planning, oh and a fine sense of humor. Remind you of Super Mario, the More >
Burka Band
The Burka Band was an all-female indie rock band from Kabul, Afghanistan, now disbanded. They performed anonymously, all of the members wearing burqas in an apparent protest against the Taliban’s rules regarding Islamic dress. They released a single, “Burka Blue” and a self-titled album in 2002. They have been called the “Spice Girls of Afghanistan” and played Western rock instruments – electric guitar, drum kit while wearing traditional head-to-toe burkas. Their hit single features them singing about burkas, in English: “…My mother wears blue jeans now, and I am so surprised, the things are changing faster, I don’t know if it’s right…”

There Goes the Bride
Maybe all these special wedding photographs aren’t such a good idea, especially when they find their way to the internet.
Just one more quarter darling - I think it's my lucky day

Mata Who? No This is from 5th Ave

I'm getting the feeling that these clever pre-wedding photos aren't all that clever after all

Vigeland
Vigeland Sculpture Park is one of those wonders that you come upon and then can’t resist the necessary Wow!. Because of its location in Frogner Park, Oslo, Norway, it is not as well known as it should be and is thus even more mind blowing. Imagine a great sculptor who’s complete work is collected in one single place and you may begin to realise what I’m getting at. 3 km northwest of the city centre you’ll find 212 bronze and granite sculptures created by Gustav Vigeland depicting the cycle of life.
