MARY POPPINS UMBRELLA

So, after going through about 4 of those dinky little girly umbrellas in the last 6 months or so with our crazy St. Louis weather, I finally broke down and bought a serious umbrella. It's about the size of a Buick and I think if a strong gust of wind comes by me I'm going to learn what it's like to go parasailing. But unlike my previous umbrellas, this one doesn't buckle if I sneeze in it's direction. And because of it's enormity, it actually keeps me dry. However, I feel like I just ripped the umbrella from my patio table to walk around with it over my head. I almost impailed a couple of gardeners working on the street today because I haven't quite gotten used to how to maneuver with this gigantic thing yet. I feel a bit like jumping off of my garage with it, just to see what would happen. I can't help but have visions of Mary Poppins floating around with her umbrella as I walk the streets of St. Louis, trying to stay dry. Now all i need is a carpet bag and a spoonful of sugar................

I'LL SHOOT YOU!

Yes, that's right, I said "I'll shoot you"........if you are a guest on shootpaul.com, that is. A friend of mine just launched a brilliant site. He is a live hamster in a cage for you to shoot with a paintball gun 24/7 via web cam. you go to the site, buy rounds of paintballs and shoot them at your leisure. Feel free to inflict the pain and feel good about it. After all, he asked for this. And there will be various guests from time to time to keep it interesting. For instance, tonights guest was Jake Houvenagle, there was also rollerskating in a grass skirt and lots and lots of paintballs. Check it out. You won't regret it.
