You would call for a person in charge of ticket checking and have the person in your seat removed. You would properly be asked to show your ticket, and you would gladly and proudly do so, for you have bought and paid for that seat. The person in your seat would also be asked for a ticket, which they would not be able to produce They would be called "gate crashers" and they would properly be removed.<br /> <br /> Now in this huge stadium called the USA we have had millions of gate crashers. We have been asking security to check for tickets and remove the gate crashers. We have been asking security to have better controls in checking at the door. We have asked security to lock the back doors. Security has failed us. They are still looking the other way. They are afraid to ask to see the tickets. Many people say there is unlimited seating, and whether there is or not, no one should be allowed in for free while the rest of us pay full price!<br /> <br /> In "section AZ", of "Stadium USA", we have had enough of the failures of Security. We have decided to do our own ticket checking, and properly remove those who do not have tickets. Now it seems very strange to me that so many people in the other 49 "sections", and even many in our own "section" do not want tickets checked, or even to be asked to show their ticket! Even the head of Security is chastising us, while not doing his own job which he has sworn to do.<br /> <br /> My own ticket has been bought and paid for, so I am proudly going to show it when asked to do so. I have a right to my seat, and I want the gate crashers to be asked to show their tickets too. The only reason that I can imagine anyone objecting to being asked for their ticket is that they are in favor of gate crashing, and all of the illegal activities that go with it, such as drug smuggling, gang wars, murder, human smuggling for profit, and many more illegal and inhumane acts that we are trying to prevent with our new legislation. Is that what I am hearing from all of the protesters such as Phoenix Mayor Gordon, US Rep. Grijalva, even President Obama? If you are not in favor of showing tickets, (proof of citizenship, passport, green card, or other legal document) when asked, as I would do proudly, then you must be condoning those illegal activities."<br /> <br /> <br /> Written by a US Citizen, Globe, Arizona.<br /> <br /> This makes perfect sense to me. What do you think?<br /> <br /> Since Obama has never shown his ticket I guess he feels obligated to not ask others to show theirs.<br /><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/544124361080525869-7276482008002299982?l=surfwithtom.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tom Canzonerinoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544124361080525869.post-50257383175644320882010-06-02T21:59:00.001-04:002010-06-02T21:59:49.206-04:00<a href="http://aqualeads.com/m/891a7ch87fdcdq4f9/blog"><img src="http://aqualeads.com/i/120x90_70527ch94ae15idba.gif" width="100%" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/544124361080525869-5025738317564432088?l=surfwithtom.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tom Canzonerinoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544124361080525869.post-79806215569555033842010-02-17T00:48:00.001-05:002010-02-17T00:49:57.113-05:00<div style="color: red;

But how to prevent them from rolling about the deck was the problem. The storage method devised was to stack them as a square based pyramid, with one ball on top, resting on four, resting on nine, which rested on sixteen. Thus, a supply of 30 cannon balls could be stacked in a small area right next to the cannon. There was only one problem -- how to prevent the bottom layer from sliding/rolling from under the others.</span><br /><br /><span>The solution was a metal plate with 16 round indentations, called, for reasons unknown, a Monkey. But if this plate were made of iron, the iron balls would quickly rust to it. The solution to the rusting problem was to make them of brass - hence,Brass Monkeys. Few landlubbers realize that brass contracts much more and much faster than iron when chilled. Consequently, when the temperature dropped too far, the brass indentations would shrink so much that the iron cannon balls would come right off the monkey.</span><span></span><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d9d2e9;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #d9d2e9;"><br /><span>Thus, it was quite literally, cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen,and inserted it into the turkey, and re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the oven. <o></o></span></span></span><br /></div></div><div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird. With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, "Patricia, you've cooked a pregnant bird!" <o></o></span></span></span><br /></div></div><div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry.

Yes, Christmas cards. This is coming early so that you can get ready to include an important address to your list. </span></div><div> </div><div><span style="color: red; font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: large;">Want to have some fun this CHRISTMAS?

But the program has been canceled, in part because a registered sex offender was found volunteering in the Operation Santa program in Maryland. <a href="http://www.newser.com/story/74416/post-office-drops-north-pole-letter-program.html">...More</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/544124361080525869-4304367108638897358?l=surfwithtom.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tom Canzonerinoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544124361080525869.post-40155963484859666652009-11-15T21:12:00.001-05:002009-11-15T21:15:05.717-05:00MelodyLinks for Melody<br /><br />You can target your ads and earn cash while surfing these sites<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><a href="http://beachpartysurf.com/?ref=1030">beachpartysurf.com</a> </b></span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><a href="http://www.hogshollow.com/?ref=677">hogshollow.com</a> </b></span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><a href="http://shareadspace.com/index.php?ref=360">shareadspace.com</a> </b></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/544124361080525869-4015596348485966665?l=surfwithtom.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tom Canzonerinoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544124361080525869.post-73206708385152584292009-11-15T19:54:00.000-05:002009-11-15T19:54:09.922-05:00Living In MichiganDear Diary,<br /><br />August 12<br />Moved to our new home in Michigan. It is so beautiful here. The views are so majestic. Can hardly wait to see them with snow covering them. I love it here.<br /><br />October 14<br />Michigan is the most beautiful place on Earth. The leaves are turning all the shades of red, gold and orange. Went for a ride through the beautiful hills and saw some deer. They are so graceful, certainly they are the most wonderful animals on Earth. This must be paradise. I love it here.<br /><br />November 15<br />Deer season starts today. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it will snow soon. I love it here.<br /><br />December 2<br />It snowed last night! Woke up to find everything blanketed with white. It looks like a postcard. We went outside and cleaned the snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight (I won) and when the snow-plow came by, we had to shovel the driveway again. What a beautiful place. I love Michigan.<br /><br />December 12<br />More snow last night. I love it. The snow-plow did his trick again to the driveway. But I love it here.<br /><br />December 19<br />More snow last night. Couldn't get out of the driveway to get to work. I'm totally exhausted from shoveling. Darn snow-plow.<br /><br />December 22<br />More of the white shit fell last night. I've got blisters on both hands from shoveling. I think the snow-plow hides around the curve and waits until I'm done shoveling the driveway. Idiot!<br /><br />December 25<br />Merry Stinking Christmas! More friggin snow. If I ever get my hands on that son-of-a-bitch who drives that snow-plow, I swear I'll kill the bastard. Don't know why they don't use more salt on the roads to melt the goddam ice.<br /><br />December 27<br />More white shit last night. Been inside for 3 days except for shoveling out the driveway after that snow-plow goes through every time. Can't go anywhere, car's stuck in a mountain of white shit. The weatherman says to expect another 10" of the shit again tonight. Do you know how many shovels full of snow 10" is?!<br /><br />December 28<br />Fucking weatherman was wrong. We got 34" of the white shit this time. At this rate, it won't melt before next summer. The snow-plow got stuck up the road and that bastard came to the door and asked to borrow my shovel. After I told him I had broken 6 shovels already shoveling all the shit he pushed into the driveway, I broke my last one over his fucking head.<br /><br />January 4<br />Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get food and on the way back a damned deer ran in front of the car and I hit it. Did about $800 damage to the car. Those fucking beasts should be killed. Wish the hunters had killed them all last November.<br /><br />February 10<br />Blew out a fucking tire on my car yesterday when I hit a pothole the size of Lake Michigan! Bent the rim and threw the whole damn front end out of alignment. The garage can't fix it until next week because they have too many other cars waiting ahead of me!<br /><br />April 13<br />Can you believe we're still getting more fucking snow?!! It's springtime for chrissakes!! The flowers are already blooming! Where's that snow shovel?<br /><br />May 3<br />Took the car to the garage in town. Would you believe the thing is rusting out from all that fucking salt they put all over the road!<br /><br />May 10<br />Moved to Florida. Can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would ever live in that God-forsaken state of Michigan.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/544124361080525869-7320670838515258429?l=surfwithtom.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tom Canzonerinoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544124361080525869.post-72175336389129846392009-11-15T06:01:00.001-05:002009-11-20T03:47:20.256-05:00Santa Died<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media2.woodtv.com//photo/2009/11/11/Russell_Schestag2_20091111231835_320_240.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media2.woodtv.com//photo/2009/11/11/Russell_Schestag2_20091111231835_320_240.JPG" /></a><br /></div>SAND LAKE, Mich. <br />The man who <b style="font-weight: normal;">looked and lived like Santa, Russell Schestag</b>, died of a heart attack Sunday 11/08/09 at his Sand Lake home.
