do that rattlesnake shake

A rattlesnake rancher who had more than 400 bottles of vodka containing snakes seized last week said the contraband is an "ancient Asian elixir" used purely for medicinal purposes and not bootlegged booze as law enforcement contends.

Officials from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission seized 411 bottles of reptile-infused vodka last week from Bayou Bob's Brazos River Rattlesnake Ranch in Santo, Texas. But Bayou Bob, aka Bob Popplewell, contends the liquid is legal to sell, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

"It's almost a spiritual thing," Popplewell told the paper, saying he caters to the Asian community and that the liquid is used for wellness and stability. He likened the concoction to cough syrup.

But officials disagree with Popplewell's medicinal argument, saying the use of an alcohol requires a state license, according to the Star-Telegram.

"He doesn't have any permit at all," TABC Sgt. Charlie Cloud said.

TABC officials filed charges for the sale of alcohol without a license and possession of alcohol with the intent to sell. Penalties for those charges include up to a year in the county jail and fines up to $1,000 upon conviction.

Flat Panel TVs

I don't have a high-def tv, but have been looking at Best Buy. Seems that I can get a 37" or 40" tv for about $1000 or under. So that's lookin' pretty good for me soon. I'll probably get an LCD or DLP technology - from what I heard I'd not get a plasma. I'd suggest spending time at several of the stores checking out the televisions as well as checking out your friend's tv's. So far I've heard bad things about Panasonic - and good things about Sony and Samsung.

There are several types of flat-panel technologies:
LCD -
Rear projection type (it's the mirrors)
Plasma -
Front projectors

It's true what they say about Musicians

It's now true what they say. Music is about drugs and rock n roll.
According to a new study conducted by medical researchers, thirty-three percent of popular songs contain explicit content and forty-two percent of songs hint at substance abuse...Who would've thought that.

Five Types of Guys Women Love

Sounds like a trick question, right? Well the reason I ask this question is because there are certain "types" of guys which women absolutely LOVE. If you can fit into one of these categories, you'll discover that it'll require very little effort to attract a woman.

Now have no fear! If you do NOT fit into any of the following "types" of guys, there is still you can use a woman's attraction to your benefit. But, before we get to how to do that, let's cover the 5 core categories of men which trigger instant attraction in a woman:

The Professor
Men with intelligence can be very sexual to many women. Simply behaving in an authoritative manner, you can make women insane with passion.

Of course, intelligence is the most evident in the "The Professor" archetype . To many women, he seems like a guy who is more mature then other men. His wide variety of knowledge makes women feel comfortable in his presence.

The Cop or Fireman
If you ever paid attention to women when their around firemen or police officers then you know many of them are instantly attracted to these type of guys. In fact, there are some women who turn into "sexual animals" whenever they have a chance to engage a cop or fireman in a conversation.

A lot of these tendencies have to do with these professions have a reputation for taking risks and saving the lives of others. Plus their uniform seems to attract women.

The Musician
Music has a direct link to people's emotions. That's why women can be easily seduced whenever their around "The Musician".

To a lot of girls, a musician is more in tune with his emotions then other guys. In their heads, they think this guy can be a source of sensual lovemaking. Plus a woman might envision this guy writing a "special" song for her.

The Cook
Food is considered one of the most powerful aphrodisiacs known to man. By being able to whip a few fantastic meals, "The Cook" is a great person for attracting women.

When a man knows his way around a kitchen, he is showing positive qualities like creativity and a provider of pleasure. Both of these characteristics are highly attractive to many different women.

The Dangerous Guy
Women are intoxicated by a guy who can live his life on the edge and is not afraid to do his own thing. That's why "The Dangerous Guy" is one of the most seductive personality traits to women.

This guy cares little for what others think. Instead he is not afraid to take risks in life. When around a man like this, women envision themselves going on exciting adventures and being pulled away from their boring lives.

nice guys always finish last?

Why is it that nice guys always finish last? So let's look into it with a deeper perspective. We all like being around nice people when it comes to friends and family but why doesn’t it work when it comes to relationships? Why are nice guys always taken for granted? Learn some of the major reasons why women hate nice guys and what measures can be taken to stay away from that "Nice guy" image.

Well the definition of a nice guy is different when you ask a woman. According to females nice guy defines a person who is insecure, always seeks approval, has a strong need to be wanted and loved, always acts as a yes man, desperate and they tend to over do almost everything.

Insecure- Now not all nice men might be insecure but most of them are when it comes to dealing with the opposite sex. Nice guys are so insecure about their want for attention that they lose it all eventually. No woman prefers an insecure guy.

Seeking approval- Oh boy here's the age old story again! Have you ever come across a guy who always asks for approval in other words always needs an opinion for whether he is right or wrong? This is a common feature in almost all those so called "Nice men" out there.

They always need love- Women are known to be more emotional than men but sometimes men act like women and become cry babies. They always seek love and attention from the opposite sex. They would do almost anything on this planet and fall to any levels to get it.

She's always right- This is what those nice guys think about the women they're with. No female prefers a "Yes man". They all prefer guys who have strong beliefs and opinions and who know how to stand up tall and rise to the occasion.

The desperate act- Don't you think "Nice men" look desperate sometimes? Most nice men find it hard to say what's on their minds and mostly fall into the desperation zone. And once you get the "Desperate tag" It's very hard to get out of it.

Now it does not mean that you have to act like a jerk to get female attention. Women do not like jerks either. You do not want to fall into the "Bad boy" zone. Women dislike bad guys more than they hate nice men.

2nd Date Blues

How not to get a second date.

1. Lateness
You planned out this date in great detail. You obviously planned also not to be on time. It is one thing to call and let her know you are running a little behind schedule but are on the way. It is another to show up an hour later (or worse) and not even give her the courtesy of a phone call. When it comes to going out somewhere, many women are sticklers for promptness. You do not get a second chance to make a first impression and showing up late tells her you are not really taking this date seriously

2. What conversation?
Your date starts talking and talking and talking. Not because she wants to but because you do not have anything to say other than an occasional "uh-huh". It could be nerves on your part or you were just unprepared to speak on any subject. Whatever it is, having to drag conversation out of your date is not a woman's idea of fun.

This goes for the opposite end of the spectrum also. Practicing conversation hogging or slapping down her opinion each time she attempts to contribute to the discussion may give her the following impression: "This guy is a jerk." Chances are that's not the vibe you wanted to give out.

3. What humor?
You don't know any jokes. You don't make any humorous comments. As a matter of fact, when she says something funny you go out of your way to analyze it and find the serious point in what she was trying to say. Yuck. No one wants to be around a stick in the mud. Sharing some laughs with her can work absolute wonders so lighten up.

Now keep in mind she never agreed to go out on a date with Bozo the Clown either. Laughing at anything and everything is not healthy. Doing this could make her a little nervous about you. She could also come to the conclusion you have some serious issues to work out.

4. Pretend
This is known in some circles as lying. Sure you want to impress her but exaggerating your importance is not the way to do it. Starting a dating relationship with a lie is a formula for disaster. If your date senses that you are lying, that disaster will come sooner than you think.

5. She reminds me of...
If you want to guarantee this is your last date with her than start here. You are out with her and talking about your ex wife, former girlfriends or any other women you have on your mind is not going to further the relationship. She agreed to go out on this date with you. You would do well to treat her like she is the most important woman in your life at this moment.

Is this an offensive ad??

A fitness club ad running in Boston magazine that depicts nuns sketching a naked man has triggered protests among some members of the Bay State's Catholic community.

The ad for the Equinox Fitness Club is running in this month's issue and some Catholic organizations blasted the photo saying it was offensive.

C.J. Doyle of the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts said the ad shows contempt for the Catholic religion.

** Hmmm - not that offensive to me. But any press is good press. **

That Time of the Year Again

It's that time of the year again when thoughts turn to girls peddling their wares down the street. Of course I'm talking about Girl Scout cookies - my favorites are tagalongs, shortbread, and caramel delites. Not too fond of thin mints - but I know chicks go crazy over mint and chocolate.
Gone are the days of going door to door. Now I see troops at target, walmart, heb, randalls - kinda taking the easy way out if you ask me. Also have people at work soliciting for their kids. Just saw a girl scout cookie sheet on our work fridge (where's the no solicitation policy). Believe me the kid could get more sales simply going cube to cube in the girl scout uniform. I'm a sucker for kids selling crap door to door. Just because I know what a pain it is selling overpriced crap out of catalogs. Back in my day selling candy bars for the baseball team we simply went door to door in the neighborhood.
