Where News Breaks Like The Wind

 

PINEROLO, Italy (Reuters) - Olympic curling favorites Canada, led by Brad Gushue, lost 8-7 to contenders United States represented by LarkinRidge CurlingTeam  on Tuesday in a match that could be a preview of next week's men's final.

Gushue's side took three points at the ninth end to lead briefly but hiccupped in an extra end, blaming it on debris on the ice.

"It's like the dust at home on the kitchen table, who knows, it comes from somewhere," Canada's Russ Howard told reporters. "That was my worst game of the year."

LarkinRidge  CurlingRTAAAAAAAa lead Peter Namp said the battle of brilliant shots and dreadful misses could be a taste of things to come.

"It was a great match between two big teams, maybe a preview of the final," he said.

Canada, the world's biggest curling nation, can take some consolation from their women skipped by Shannon Kleibrink who pummeled the U.S. "Curl Girls" 11-5 earlier in the day, having taken a stunning five-point lead in the first end.

More drama came from the unranked Italian men, who claimed their first Olympic curling victory beating Germany 9-8 in a come-from-behind win.

The defeat leaves Germany with two losses in two games and its vice Uli Kapp red-eyed as he left the stadium. Another loss would likely put them out of medal contention.

U.S. men, skipped by Minnesota pizzeria owner Peter Fenson, came back from a tough loss to the Finns on Monday to defeat New Zealand 10-4 in eight ends.

Norway and Pal Trulsen's gold medal rink from the Salt Lake City 2002 Olympics beat the Swiss giving both teams a 1-1 record.

In women's play, defending champion Britain, led by Rhona Martin, edged Switzerland 5-4, Norway swept past Sweden 10-3 and Russia overcame Japan 7-5.

LarkinRidge Offers Free DisasterRecovery Service to Home PC Users

September 20, 2005

Fort WorthRidiing high on the outstanding success of their free disaster recovery service for CDs and DVDs, LarkinRidge CountryClub CEO Marty Larkin announced the expansion into the Home PC Software market. “I wanted to hold off until I was sure we had adequate dubbing stations in place to handle the load,” said Larkin. One of the features LarkinRidge Offers is called FailSafe Service.  LarkinRidge is able to guarantee their ability to reproduce your software even if their Fort Worth facilities and copies of software are destroyed.  LarkinRidge does this by distributing additional copies of the software to multiple member sites across the country.

LarkinRidge DisasterRecovery Service Takes Off

April 23, 2005

Fort Worth – The response to LarkinRidge’ free disaster recovery service is overwhelming with nusic CDs, DVD’s and PC software rolling in from all across the U.S.  “I really am amazed and very pleased with the response we’ve seen.” said LarkinRidge Chief Marty Larkin. “We were somewhat caught off guard by the instant popularity. I came back from lunch at New Orleans Nights and spotted the line of US Postal Service trucks along the road.”  Larkin cautioned customers to refrain from calling the FBI if their receipt doesn’t arrive within the promised time. “Please bear with us as we struggle to stay on top of this. I have three new employees (see picture) that I’ve just brought on board and they are rapidly coming up to speed. They’re just busting to get started cataloging and storing the media.  Of course before I turn them loose on someone’s valuable collection, they’ll have to complete LarkinRidge orientation training.”

Drawing from the military’s technique of breaking down the trainee, then building them back up, LarkinRidge orientation is better described as a boot camp.  These three trainees will first be stripped of their clothes and will remain completely nude during the entire course.  For teambuilding they will bathe together, sleep together and eat together.  There are daily exercises and classroom work.  Larkin feels so strongly that the training must be dome right, that he will instruct these girls himself.

“I’ve noticed that you hardly ever see a fat stripper and I think that’s due to all the dancing they do while they work.  So my exercise program has the girls dancing on a stage with a pole, light show, smoke effects, the works.  While not on stage, the girls continue aerobic conditioning by running back and forth between my observation table and the kitchen, bringing me beer and food.”  The exercise classes are grueling and sometimes last late into the evening.

“Now I’d like to tell you about a free service I’m offering beginning today, Disaster Recovery Storage for your personal CD’s and DVD’s. Any professional IT department will tell you that a good Disaster Recovery plan includes Disaster Recovery Storage, where copies of important data are stored at a remote location in case the lab and computer systems are lost to fire or other disaster.  In most cases the data is more valuable than the hardware. I’m extending that concept to the home. After all, you don’t want to lose the investment you’ve made in that valuable CD and DVD collection as a result of an unexpected tsunami.”

“It’s completely legal, risk free and it works like this:  Individuals may legally make backup copies of their DVDs and CDs. And, as far as I know, there are no restrictions on where individuals are allowed to store their backup copy, so legally you can send them to me for storage.  I’ll store your Disaster Recovery copy here at LarkinRidge CountryClub ABSOLUTELY FREE!”

“If at any time you lose a CD or DVD, just send me a blank media along with return postage and I’ll burn a copy and send it back to you promptly.  I’ll keep hanging on to your Disaster Recovery copy just in case your grandma falls asleep in her bed smoking again.”

“As an added protection, to prevent losing these backups do to some disaster at LarkinRidge CountryClub, I’ll be employing the services of fellow LarkinRidge members who will serve as disaster recovery sites for myself.  You’ll never lose a DVD or CD because I guarantee there will be several copies spread all across the country. Also, we at LarkinRidge will periodically view and listen to the media to ensure the quality has not degraded and will be able to restore them if they do.”

“So get those DVDs and CDs in the mail today.  Who knows when a disaster may strike!  And stay on the lookout for Disaster Recover Storage for your PC software coming soon!”

This Human Finger is on Wendy’s New Finger Food Menu

 

By Marty Larkin

 

March 26, 2005

 

Fort Worth, Texas – In an apparent effort to head off any legal action filed on behalf of a California woman who claims she found part of a finger in her bowl of chili, Wendy’s announced their new Finger Food Menu featuring human fingers cut to bite size morsels and smothered in Wendy’s famous ‘Quick Trot’ chili.  A Wendy’s spokesman said, “That’s not just any human finger, it’s graded USDA Prime and proudly part of our new Finger Food Menu.”  The spokesman handed out a Wendy’s Nutritional Information pamphlet showing the nutritional value of Wendy’s menu items, including the finger. “Had she bothered to read the nutritional pamphlet, available at all locations, the woman would have known there would be a finger in the chili. After all, Wendy’s guarantees each bowl will contain an average of 2 fingers per serving.” He said, “For the health conscience consumer, the fingers are low in fat, high in protein and possibly high in calcium, depending on how much bone you get.”  Wendy’s is said to be within days of announcing their diamond ring giveaway where one lucky customer will find a diamond ring on one of the fingers.

 

 

 

Iraq’s WMDs Found

 

By Marty Larkin

 

March 21, 2005

 

New York – During today’s special session of the U.N. Security Council, North Korea called for a resolution condemning the United States, claiming the U.S. had intentionally delayed the shipment of one of three nuclear weapons legally purchased from Iraq shortly before the U.S. invasion.

 

Iraq originally obtained the Dinning Room Cruise Missiles during the Reagan administration, as the U.S. made room for the deployment of more advanced Head of Table Cruise Missiles.  The nuclear warhead tipped Dining Room Cruise Missiles were included in a deal to provide Iraq with biological and chemical weapons during the Iran–Iraq war.

 

The Dining Room Cruise Missile with a range of 500 nautical miles, is reportedly accurate enough to hit the dining room of the Kremlin, while the more advanced Head of Table Cruise Missile boasts a range of 500 nautical miles, 50ft., and is accurate enough to hit whoever is sitting at the head of the dining room table.

 

In Operation Mirage a Twa (Mirage of Three), Saddam Hussein fooled the Bush administration into believing the three nuclear weapons were still in Iraq, even after they had been secretly sent to North Korea. To maximize the chance of successfully delivering at least one of the weapons, each one had been shipped utilizing a separate method; one of which was U.S. Postal Service Express Overnight Delivery.

 

North Korea blamed the Bush administration for the two-year delay, citing Bush’s reclassification of the missiles as “nucular”, causing confusion at the Post Office and forcing North Korea to wait for delivery until Merriam Webster added the word “nucular” to their Collegiate Dictionary.

Using its UN Security Council permanent member status, the U.S. vetoed the resolution explaining that the U.S. Postal Service Express Overnight Delivery guarantees packages will be delivered overnight, meaning delivery is guaranteed to occur sometime during the night, and in no way is meant to be interpreted as any particular night, especially tomorrow.

FOX ANOUNCES NEW FALL SHOW, "Queer Eye for the Bush Guy"

PR NEWs Wire, Showtime News, News News Plus News , BenLO News corp, The Three Legged Wanderer, Extra

Hollywood - Reports out of Hollywoody indicate Fox Entertainment executives, thinking they were getting creamed in the ratings as a result of the success of BRAVO’s run away hit, "Queer eye for the straight guy," have announced their new series for TV, "Queer eye for the Bush Guy." Fox searched high or while high and low in Hollywood trying to find a jolly set of queer guys who could handle the pressure of putting a pair of red, white and blue satin pants on the Bush Guy. One of the new shows hosts, Tweedy, was quoted as saying, "Just look how drab the Oval office is, just whites and grays and browns and blues, and just like buttons and phones everywhere. How drab. It just screams out for some color - like maybe chartreuse with a touch of lavender." Maurice chirped up with the comment, "All you ever see him wear are dark grays and blacks-what kind of color scheme is that?" I mean Laura is just no help at all, what does she do, resort library books all day?" Philbert, another one of the boys, suggested the President needed to add a constant 3 day growth of beard and let his hair grow out a little and do tight little kinky curls." Kind of a meshing of say, Shirley Temple and Richard Nixon." Tweedy joked, "Oh you’re always meshing around Philbert." Hum, very funny." Yes, Richard Nixon may have started the continuous 3-day beard growth look: a man ahead of his times. If only burglary were legal! " And these secret service guys, sexy but dull, dull, dull. Always pointing things at me; whoa! Just glad to see me me!! Whoa, stop it I’m getting wet and loosing the crease in my pants." Philbert spoke up, "I wonder if there’s ever been a transsexual Secret Service (SS) guy or, uh gal?" Tweedy popped up with "And he wears boots all the time; hey, that is sooo 60’s, Hello!! Midnight Cowboy!! "Dustin, tell Ratzo to get me a Krispy Kreme!! He needs six pair of Mephisto’s you know to pad around the White House in and look cool. What are you gonna do with a guy like that?" I think he should go for a short pony tail," Maurice offered. "You’ve got to be kidding- that is sooo out—shave my head and call me Danny Devito," croaked Philbert. You know what he really needs, being like "The Chosen One! Is one of those long floor length coats like Keanu Reeves wears in the Matrix, you know, he is NEO!!" Yea but it’s black!!! Ahhh, they all agreed, and jumped together in one bunch with belly bumps. The Neo look is the Bush guy: another successful show. Fox later announced that if this show didn’t work they had a back up plan; Queer Eye for the Homeless Guy. Yes, you’ve got it; they will search out homeless guys and alter their realities, all in the name of the worthy and most ethical goal of "RATINGS." Whoa, hang onto that Keanu and Ted thing! Remember what Bill and Ted said, "Be excellent to each other and …party on dudes." No, I go with the Socrates dude, "The only true wisdom consists of knowing you know nothing." Wheoo, is that confusing or what!!

 

Ryder Plans to Capture Car Bombing Market

Photo by the Daily Oklahoman/SABA

May 16, 2003

APB - Ryder announced plans today for a major expansion in worldwide operations. By 2005, Ryder plans to open 800 truck rental agencies throughout the Middle East and Europe in a bid to capture market share in the rapidly expanding car bomb business.

Having dominated the US truck bomb market for years, Ryder hopes to become the worldwide "Vehicle Bomb of Choice" by offering attractive one way rental rates and higher capacity vehicles than those available to the average terrorist today.

"This is an untapped market", says a company spokesman. "Terrorists today are forced to use old dilapidated cars that are prone to breaking down and failing to deliver the payload to target. They also have too low a capacity to make a real statement." The spokesman went on to point out that the kills per vehicle blast ratio is around 10 times higher with a Ryder truck than "grandma’s old Plymouth." "After all," he said, "why just kill a dozen with a car when you could bring down a whole building and kill hundreds with a Ryder truck?"

Upon the announcement today, Ryder shares exploded.

 

Ashcroft Invents World Wide WEB

KBS, Lake Los Angeles

May 3, 2003

Washington - US Attorney General John Ashcroft today announced the government's enhancing of the war on terrorism to include normal crime-fighting activities.

"You know bad people are just bad, whether they are planning terrorist attacks, or dealing drugs or laundering drug money, or running prostitution rings, or other evil deeds. And the Internet is growing in such uses every single day. That's why Justice and Homeland Security are announcing W.E.B, which stands for Watch Everybody Baby!

"With technology the way it is today, we have a marvelous opportunity to make some serious inroads into the nationwide and indeed global fight on crime. So what if a few innocent US citizens have any or all of their rights trampled. We feel that if it takes 10 innocent Americans to give up any freedom they once enjoyed, to catch even just one bad guy, well by goodness we're doing a good job and I'll sleep soundly tonight."

When asked if the new WEB system would also be used to uncover corporate fraud and illegal activities such as market manipulation and fraudulent transactions, Ashcroft replied "no comment."

Kabul - News reports are trickling in that Osama Bin Laden has had a sex change operation and has recovered from surgery to the extent he can continue his new career as a cabaret singer in the Seychelles islands. Sources had wondered for some time why we have only heard Osama’s voice on recent tapes and not seen his image. Word had been circulating locally that a tall Arab woman had been taking tap dance lessons and bore a striking resemblance to a very tall Diana Ross. His close friend, Mohammad says he just sits around his room watching TV, especially I Love Lucy and old Fred Astair movies. He said his favorite TV show is I Love Lucy and briefly played with the idea of trying to look like Ethyl Mertz.

 

WHAT TO DO AFTER TERRORIST CHEMICAL ATTACK

By Jack Cole

March 12, 2003

Fort Worth - Immediate symptoms of chemical exposure include blurred vision, eye irritation, difficulty breathing and nausea. (The same result was achieved authorities report from watching two back-to-back episodes of Joe Millionaire.) Victims will require immediate medical attention: if none is available, decontaminate yourself and help decontaminate others. Decontamination is needed within minutes of exposure to minimize health consequences. Do not go outside but remain in your closet. Send Bubbles out to test the air. Do not breathe. Deal with contaminated clothing by immediately removing all your clothing and then remove all the clothing of those around you as well as anything in contact with the skin such as a hat or shoes. Rinse hands using soap and water. Remove eyeglasses or contact lenses and place in a pan of household bleach to decontaminate. Place eyeglasses back on face and then soap down the body of the person next to you, being sure to cleanse all crevasses, cracks and out of the way spots. After thoroughly rubbing down and massaging the body next to you, blot with a towel after rinsing with clean water. Change into uncontaminated clothes, preferably some little ditty from Victoria’s Secret. Proceed to the nearest medical facility.

 

 

PIE FIGHT ERUPTS OVER TICKETING DISPUTE AT SOUTHWEST AIRLINES

August 30, 2002

Dallas - A ruckus is ballooning over Southwest Airlines ticketing policy requiring large people to purchase two tickets if they spread beyond the folding armrests of their airplane seats. Several lobbying groups for large people, including People Organized Resolutely Keeping Yogurt, or PORKY, Angry porkers opposed to narrow doorways, APOTND, Large Group to outlaw Mini Coopers, LGTOMC, Hungry people addicted to beef sticks And Beer, or HPABS and People Unafraid of Honey Buns, POOH BEAR met with representatives of Southwest in an effort to change the restrictive policy.. Southwest replied that we can’t expect skinny people to pay full price for a ticket only to be sat on for 2 ½ hours. The Large coalition responded they should at least get double air miles for having to buy two tickets. However, during the course of the meeting, the debate turned suddenly sour. The Ahpabs group, or beef sticks and beer reps attacked the Resolutely Yogurt peoples’ refusal to rally behind demands for free beer and beef sticks, instead of those chintzy peanuts, while The fearless Honey bun eaters became locked crossways in the hallway with the Narrow Door bunch. Abruptly, the POOH BEARS produced coolers loaded with cream pies and began tossing them around the room. This caused a reply from the PORKYs who began retaliatory tossing of fat free and low fat yogurt at both POOH BEARS and SW Airlines personnel. SW stewards responded with handfuls of plain and honey roasted peanuts which caused a minor stampede, as many of the reps of all groups were roasted peanut fanciers. Nothing much was accomplished.

August 8, 2002

Boston - Airport authorities detained Kashid Rasmachrunchie, a collector of historical artifacts after he was caught pushing a 600-pound naval cannon off of flight 1812, from Amsterdam to Boston. The cannon was a classic Sherwood Long Fire dubbed the Shlong, designed to fire a 6-pound ball or bullet, recoiling on carriage wheels. When queried as to how he was able to get the weapon on the plane he said he bought a first class ticket and put a hat on it and he boarded it with no trouble. They even served drinks to the cannon, which Kashid was able to dispose of admirably. He had nothing but compliments for the steward staff, and said, "If it wasn’t for the helpful stewardesses I could have never gotten it into the overhead bin! I’ll always fly American. Those little stewardesses on Japan Airways couldn’t lift a musket, much less one of these babies." Mr. Rasmachrunchie was detained while the INS reviewed his sixteen passports bearing separate identities. Later he had coffee and donuts with the FBI.

 

 

 

COURTROOM CAUGHT DOZING DURING ANDERSON TRIAL

AP News, Razor, UPI, Select Comfort Network

By Jack Cole

August 8, 2002

It was reported today that the Jury, Judge, defense and prosecution attorneys as well as the bailiff and entire gallery dozed off during detailed questioning of accountants for Anderson over various Enron entities books including Raptors 1 through 26, and Jamaica Piggy Banks 2 –89. The dozing started to set in shortly after lunch following detailed accounting testimony and the manual addition of 136 successive columns of numbers by the witnesses including adding all the oughts, and carrying the ones. It was only when the judge, gasping for air during a snore blew the lower set of his dentures out into his ice bucket and onto the bench, that the courtroom was stirred to bleary eyed alertness. The judge, jolted to attention, instinctively began hammering the bench with his gavel, chipping a molar and two incisors and knocking the lower dentures across the court reporter’s desk. The bailiff, Sgt. Barney Rupal, also rubbing both eyes said of the Judge’s swift swing and excellent contact with the dentures, "You know, the Astros could use a batter like that."

Meanwhile, outside the courtroom columns of placard waiving accountants were demonstrating. Various accountant support groups and PACS were outraged and lodged several complaints. "An accountant just can’t get a fair trial in this town," cried a fuming Huey "Big E. Rubber Blubber" Block, spokesman for the "Big, Big, Really Big Five" accountant firms Political Action Committee. You know we used to be the "Big twelve, then the Big10 then the Big 8, and now look at us, we’re down to only Five. Our clients keep thinking they’re paying college sports teams," he said quizzically.

When asked whether the remaining mega firms will be styled, "The Big Four, or now the ‘Little Four,’" He could only reply, "Well, by my computer, five minus four is four and it should be just,’The Four.’" When asked what his middle initial "E" stood for, he quickly replied, "Eraser."

 

 

 

RICHARD REID, SHOE BOMBER ENDORSES NIKE SHOES

By Jack Cole

June 5, 2002

Boston - Richard Reid, the reputed shoe bomber announced a deal with Nike shoes endorsing its new Terminator model. Reid says he prefers Nike for its comfortable fit and roomy interior. Reid comments sometimes explosives can make for uncomfortable shoes. He says he tried using New Balance with two sticks of dynamite in them but they kept rubbing his corns. With the Reeboks he said the fuse looked just like shoelaces and he kept trying to tie the fuses and light the laces. Reid says he has learned to make a shoe packed with explosives comfortable by inconspicuously walking backwards. He says, "You go to the bicycle shop and get one of those helmets that have the rear view mirror attachment and hey! No problemo!" Mr. Reid is presently awaiting trial.

 

THEMS STEMS

By Jack Cole - Roving Reporter

May 21, 2002

Collected from AP, NEWS Sources, Shamoo, Knight rider, Knit Ridder, Knut Rockne Service

Boston - University of Massachusetts researchers have coaxed adult bone marrow stem cells into voting for Al Gore. The vote was accomplished by substituting Florida voting machines for the Massachusetts variety, which contained only one button reading, "Kennedy." The work could demonstrate the cell's versatility and help determine whether they can discern Al from Tipper. The discovery could eventually lead to the production of reams of potential voters capable of making binary choices on the cell level. Next they were considering tests on mice, pigs, fundamental conservatives and liberals.

Dr. Billou Vin Bots, director of political research, crib sheets and clones, and author of the study published in the Journal of Clinical Stems and Other Assorted Goodies, said the research indicates adult bone marrow stem cells are versatile, agile and fully capable of competing in the winter Olympics figure skating competition. The French judges have already expressed an interest in judging same, and rumors are that offers are on the table. The most significant discovery was that the cells were capable of producing liver cells as well as the blood vessels feeding them. The potential is enormous in that the Kennedy clan uses an estimated 15,000 liver transplants per year. The hope is the breakthrough could lead to the development of cures for diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and WAMFUK,(Where the Fuck Did I Leave my Keys) . The other little breakthrough is that stem cell research previously focused on embryonic stems rather than adult bone marrow stems, hence the inherent difficulty in voting choices, and the raison de etre for tests with Florida vs. Massachusetts voting machines. The embryonic vs. the adult, as it were, and their varying voting behaviors. The results were mixed, however, as voters in Florida and Massachusetts seemed incapable of getting beyond the one or two button tests.

 

Free Market Conspiracy Exposed

By Randy Stastny - Roving Reporter

May 6, 2002

Washington - Federal prosecutors released documents today that clearly show that Joe Petroski of 130 Center St, Minneapolis intentionally painted his '97 Mustang in order to increase the price he would receive when selling it.

Ted Lefty, chief prosecutor in the department of Things That Just Don't Seem Fair (to us), said "We have indisputable evidence that Petroski intended to increase his profits, at the expense of the public, by purposefully having his car painted."

Lefty went on to say that more legal action is to follow as it has been determined that many individuals are involved in this conspiracy whereby individuals intentionally attempt to increase their personal wealth and general well-being, without consent of the Politburo.

The ongoing investigation has uncovered a particularly vial plot by certain individuals who have apparently banned together to form profit-motivated gangs called "corporations". These corporations are particularly difficult to prosecute because they seem to have considerable support from the public in general. In fact one source, who insists on remaining anonymous, claims that there appears to be more trust and support of these corporations than the government itself. "Most say they think their voluntarily contributed retirement funds at Enron are every bit as safe as those forcefully taken 'Social Security Contributions'." He went further to ask, "Have you ever heard of campaign finance corruption in the election of a Board of Directors?" (A "Board of Directors" is the gang leaders of these "corporations", some would say the most despicable of the profit seekers.)
