During a recent password audit, it was found
that an employee was using the following password: 

"MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento" 

When asked why she had such a long password,
she said she was told that it had to be at least 8 characters long
and include at least one capital.

  Security Officer: I'm sorry, but you're not on the guest list.
• 
  
  David Addison: That's because we're not guests. We're looking for a man with a mole on his nose.
• 
  
  Security Officer: A mole on his nose?
• 
  
  Maddie Hayes: A mole on his nose.
• 
  
  Security Officer: [to Maddie] What kind of clothes?
• 
  
  Maddie Hayes: [to David] What kind of clothes?
• 
  
  David Addison: What kind of clothes do you suppose?
• 
  
  Security Officer: What kind of clothes do I suppose would be worn by a man with a mole on his nose? Who knows?
• 
  
  David Addison: Did I happen to mention, did I bother to disclose, that this man that we're seeking with the mole on his nose? I'm not sure of his clothes or anything else, except he's Chinese, a big clue by itself.
• 
  
  Maddie Hayes: How do you do that?
• 
  
  David Addison: I read a lot of Dr. Seuss.
• 
  
  Security Officer: I'm sorry to say, I'm sad to report, I haven't seen anyone at all of that sort. Not a man who's Chinese with a mole on his nose with some kind of clothes that you can't suppose. So get away from this door and get out of this place, or I'll have to hurt you - put my foot in your face.

  Maddie Hayes and David Addison (in unison): Gotta go!

five years? where has the time gone?

the Lord bless you and keep you

and be gracious unto you
the Lord lift his countenance upon you
and give you peace

my oldest, dearest friend
i cannot find

the words to say

how much you are missed

i swear to you

that i will try

to be as dear a friend

to mike, matthew and amanda

as you are to me

say hello

to your mother and father

who you missed so much

these last fifteen years

keep watch over Carol

and her family

for she loves you

and needs you

and is part of you

and will remember you

the rest of her days.

she is good

and pure

and needs your strength

and courage.

please find my dad

shout to him as you did to me

flash him your radiant smile

and warm him with your embrace

save a seat near you

at God's banquet for me

for i love you

as only a best friend could.

i weep

because you are gone

but i rejoice

because you are here

in my heart

and in my mind

always and forever.

time is irrelevant

in the scheme of eternity

for our life here is but

a blink of God's eye.

there are some who believe

that the journey from here

to Paradise

takes a stop along the way

to cleanse us and make us ready

to see the face of God.

i believe

with all my heart

and all my soul

that you found yourself

in the presence of God

the moment you left us

here in this life,

and that surely

your goodness and love

is as perfect as can be

and that you need not

make that stop along the way.

on the random, remotest chance

that you are still making the journey,

that you are moving

toward the light still,

i offer a simple thought,

spoken on the occasion

of my dad's funeral fifteen years ago.

it is, quite simply,

one of the most beautiful prayers

i have ever heard,

and since you are, quite simply,

one of the most beautiful people

i will ever know,

it bears repeating for you.

it

is

said

by some

that when a bell

rings, a soul, waiting

to get into Heaven, gets

its wings to take it there.

the next time i hear a bell

i will close my eyes and pray

with all my heart and all my soul

that you get your wings to speed

you to

Heaven

glory be to the Father

and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit

as it was in the beginning

is now

and ever shall be

the world without end

amen

rest in peace,
dearest friend.

what's next?

---------------------------------------

Not even sure it's got a name...

From its 'why-would-you-do-that' department, smart has developed a fortwo with monster ambitions.

The forfun² has the body of a smart fortwo mounted on an all-terrain Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 series. The Greek 4x4 Rally Champion, Stefan Attart, joined forces with Mercedes-Benz Greece, to design and develop this one-off vehicle.

The engine and transmission are adopted from the Unimog and the vehicle has a six-cylinder diesel engine with a capacity of 5,675 cc delivering 84 bhp. By comparison, a fortwo diesel has a 41 bhp engine.

The vital statistics of the forfun² include ground clearance of more than 2ft, eye popping tires on 26 inch rims, and a towering 12 ft height.

Attart wanted maximum off-road mobility which makes the Unimog 406 the perfect platform. He added oversized wheels, an aluminium safety cage, and his design team used special shock absorbers with manually controlled air suspension, which is an advantage on steep downhill slopes.

Er -- that's it...

hiya, speedy

one word: decadent.

had dinner at the olive garden last night. all was going well until dessert came.

i ordered these italian doughnuts called zeppoli. bite-sized pastries, dusted in powdered sugar and cinnamon, and served with a cup of hot fudge for dipping.

i gained 5 pounds just smelling the damn things.

if you haven't tried them, you haven't lived.

don't feed them, they'll breed!

"the question put to a succession of arms industry executives last may was always the same: would you pay bribes to get a piece of a $15 million contract to equip the presidential guard of an african country?


according to the justice department, almost two dozen executives said yes, put it in writing and wrote checks — without realizing that the african officials getting the bribes were actually undercover FBI agents."
