G00SE and I had to pass through a metal detector to get into the courthouse to apply for our marriage license. First I had to wait while he took our pocket knives out to the truck, then there was an intense moment of suspense while I prayed the underwire wouldn't set it off. It didn't. G00SE thought I was joking! A friend of mine had that happen when she was doing her psych practicum--at a men's prison. I'm not sure it gets any more embarrassing than that. Then I got to laugh at him when his belt buckle set it off! Ah, adventures in metal detectors these days.


What is truly wrong in undies? Edible thongs. Ewwwwww!

Water squirt sends grizzly bear fleeing

Billings Gazette Wyoming Bureau 5/31/02
A 32-year-old woman sustained minor injuries last weekend in an encounter with a grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park.
The woman, who is a U.S. Postal Service employee at the Lake post office in the park, met up with the bear Saturday while she was jogging around the Lake Lodge Cabin Loop,
park officials said Thursday.
Abigail Thomas said that she stood perfectly still when she saw the subadult grizzly about 15 yards to her right.
She said the bear stood on its back legs, sniffed the air, dropped down and slowly approached her.
After sniffing her from the waist down, the bear "very gently" closed its mouth around Thomas' right thigh, applied a small amount of pressure and then released it, park officials
said.
The bear fled when she then squirted water between its eyes.
The bite did not break the skin. Thomas suffered only minor bruises.
Park officials praised Thomas for remaining calm and focused during the encounter. They also remind visitors to observe bears at a distance and that it's illegal to approach
within 100 yards of a bear.
Visitors are also encouraged to carry bear spray, watch for signs of bears and avoid hiking or jogging alone or at night.

Hmmmm, I've read and re-read the article and nowhere does it say the squirt was from a water bottle as we all assumed. all it says was that "she squirted water between it's eyes." Good shot!

Flying Hooters!
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Will Vanguard Airlines, known for its low fares, and Hooters Girls, known for their high-cut shorts, soon be corporate cousins?

Hooters of America Inc. chairman Robert H. Brooks is thinking about buying Vanguard, the Kansas City-based discount carrier that filed for bankruptcy protection and grounded its fleet last month. On Wednesday, a bankruptcy judge told Brooks he can give Vanguard $50,000 per week for the next three weeks to pay a keleton staff, while Brooks examines the company's books and decides if he wants to buy. A newly formed company called Hooters Air Inc. will make the payments.

So what kind airline would Hooters Air Inc. run? Vanguard spokeswoman Elizabeth Cattell said it's too soon to know. "If it'll be 'Hooters Girls' flight attendants, it's too early," Cattell said.

But she didn't dismiss the idea.
