Once upon a time there was a princess.

This princess had been cursed by an evil witch.
"ONLY TRUE LOVE CAN SAVE YOU NOW"
MWAHAHAHAHA

The princess was put into a permanent catatonic state after the evil witch ran her over with a car, and peeled out on her dead little eyes.

Yes sir, it seemed like only true love could save her now.

Months passed.

Years.

Nurses came and went. The ICU was lonely for Princess Ballsack.

One day a handsome doctor came in, and saw Princess Ballsack laying there. Stunned by her beauty, he called upon his nurse, "Pray tell good nurse, who is this fair lady that doth occupy a room in my humble ICU?"

"Why, that is Princess Ballsack sir. Hit and run, down on 128th street."

"I must fix her!" exclaimed the good doctor. He went to work. Toiled over her. Paced back and forth. Appeared in many a montage with bad 80's music in the background.

Finally he came up with an idea.

It was a brilliant idea i assure you, so brilliant i can't even relate it to you. Anyway, he pursued this idea, and applied it upon Princess Ballsack's head, fixing her peeled-out upon face. A truly stunning beauty did Princess Ballsack become, so stunning, that a good nurse gazed upon her and kissed her cold, dead lips.

The doctor was horrified - such a breach of patient trust!

BUT...the princess woke up! Princess Ballsack gazed upon the nurse and knew instantly she was in love.

"No, no no no no! this isn't how this was supposed to happen!" cried the stupid doctor.

The princess and her lesbian lover lived happily ever after in a nice 3rd story walkup in the village, the doctor commited suicide the next day.

THE END

Damn KP, you're funny.

Went sailing. People are idiots. Don't know the rules, but we're racing. Dangerous and annoying. Oh well.

Why do you have to be quiet at tennis matches? I've played tennis, it's not that hard to concentrate. Basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, baseball, basically every other sport on the planet except for golf you can make noise, but not tennis.

I don't even understand the golf thing, but I definitely don't understand the tennis.

Any of you divers have a knife you swear by? I'm looking for a safety knife for sailing. I think I want a fixed blade, since I don't trust myself to open a folder underwater at night. Sheepsfoot so I cut the line and not myself, and serrated, at least partially.

Something with a sheath that is solid, and I can attach to a belt, or a PFD, or just a lanyard and tucked somewhere.

Well, in the caves I only cared about cutting braided nylon guideline, so I just used a steak knife with most of the blade cut off. The flattened tip could be used as a screwdriver (scooter work, light case, etc).

Now-a-days you can pretty much buy something with the same form factor.

It will be televised on Holovision, which will be invented in the next 5 years. This is how I will make the millions that will fund the creation of my TDKMR superhero team.

Move over, superbowl, there's a new beefneck sport in town.
Annendum: large ditches will be built and filled with water in front of the cities. In these man made lakes there will be battleships, acting as goalies.
