These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelosium is inert, and has no charge and no magnetism. Nevertheless, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Pelosium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelosium has a normal half-life of 2 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a biennial reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelosium mass will increase over time, since each reorganization will promote many morons to become isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Pelosium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/833250900591376941-7453303233237758720?l=fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/feeds/7453303233237758720/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=833250900591376941&amp;postID=7453303233237758720' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/7453303233237758720'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/7453303233237758720'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/2010/02/heaviest-element-newly-discovered.html' title='Heaviest Element Newly Discovered'/><author><name>Ryan_Th3_K1d</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07366108526860289155</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ivUWZHSnMIM/TDUgXwnVmdI/AAAAAAAAE8Q/HHla914dnoQ/S220/running.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833250900591376941.post-1622872785770188102</id><published>2010-02-05T13:47:00.006-07:00</published><updated>2010-02-05T13:54:48.490-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AR-15'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='guns'/><title type='text'>My AR-15</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This ar is made by Daniel Defense, it's the DDM4. 16" barrel, Magpul stock, and 30-round PMAG etc....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ivUWZHSnMIM/S2yFb-YFqoI/AAAAAAAAE3I/ip6HHMHSCgY/s1600-h/IMG_8936_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RUSH: One more thing about Mark Sanford, before we go to the break and get back to your phone calls.  I would posit something here.  And there's a lot of people.  I've gotten a lot of e-mail since the Sanford story broke: "See, Rush? This is why Republicans have to get rid of social issues.  We just have to get rid of them, because this hypocrisy is going to kill us.  People are people; human beings are human beings.  They're going to have affairs.  They're going to have abortions. They're going to do this.  And in politics, we're going to lose people.  People are going to have affairs.  Democrats don't lose people when they're hypocrites because they aren't hypocrites, Rush, because they don't have standards and we do.  So we've got to get rid of the social issues, Rush." I'm hearing this from a lot of people.  It's something for you to think about.  Just a little think piece here.  How about the fact that society needs hypocrisy? (interruption)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll be happy to explain it, Snerdley. It's simple as pie.  I shouldn't have to explain it, but I'll be glad to.  I'm not saying hypocrisy is a virtue, but it is a necessary evil.  Society needs it. "But, Rush! But, Rush! How can you say that?  Isn't hypocrisy preaching moral values and not living up to them?"  Yeah, that's exactly right!  That's what, in this case, hypocrisy is.  But hypocrisy does not deny moral values.  If somebody can be immoral and not be a hypocrite, then what's happened to standards?  You want a party run by a bunch of people who have no standards?  You've got it.  You've got it in the Democrat Party and you've had it for years -- and look where it has taken us! Hypocrisy does two things, both at the same time: Hypocrisy shows -- and you're not going to want to hear this.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're not going to want to agree with me on this.  I know you're not.  But hypocrisy shows that there are moral values in a culture.  Without moral values in a culture, it would not be possible for anybody to be a hypocrite.  The fact that we are calling Sanford a hypocrite is the proof that there are still standards of dignity and morality that apply in our society.  It also shows... This hypocrisy, it also shows that violating those moral values are wrong.  We all think Sanford's an idiot, right?  We all think he's stupid.  We all think he's wrong.  Especially when you read the statement his wife issued.  His wife said, "I'm willing to take him back.  I'm willing."  She said, "I view my life. I've got one legacy in my life, and that's the character and dignity I instill in my children," and that's why what my husband has done is so hurtful and so harmful.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"All the work I've done helping to get him elected and helping him do his job means nothing to me if my kids don't turn out."  Why does she care?  Well, because morality and dignity matter.  And without hypocrisy, we wouldn't know what morality and dignity are.  But moral equivalency, on the other hand, that rationalizes away any morality.  The Democrat Party exists on moral equivalence.  The Democrat Party exists on the concept of defining deviancy down to where nothing is wrong and nobody can be criticized.  And I think any healthy society needs moral values -- and, therefore, must preserve them.  Hypocrisy is a lot more helpful in preserving morality than moral equivalence is.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in a culture with no morality, where anything goes and there is nothing wrong.  Then you wouldn't have to worry about raising your kids.  Just give birth and let them do what they want to do.  It doesn't matter because there's nothing wrong. But you know there are. You know there are certain things -- and, by the way, since we're all human and we all stray and we all stray off the path, it doesn't mean morality is wrong and it doesn't disqualify somebody who strays from knowing what morality is.  That's what the Democrats try to do.  Any Republican who is a normal human failing, they try to disqualify from ever commenting on morality and dignity, and you do not have to live a perfect life in order to be able to comment on morality and dignity because it is impossible to live a perfect life.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all have that little voice in our heads, our conscience.  We all know when we're doing something wrong.  We all know it.  If we just listen to the voice in our heads more often than we do, then we'd do fewer things wrong.  But we're human.  It doesn't mean that we're disqualified from knowing right from wrong, just because we violate the tenets.  So... Look, I'm not speaking in a strict political sense here.  I'm not saying, "Let's scrub the social issues."  I'm simply saying that, 'Give me a society any day where there is hypocrisy as opposed to a society with moral equivalence,' because then we've defined deviancy so far down that we've decided we can't do anything about that particular wrong so we're not even going to try to anymore.  We will cease to exist as a functioning society.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RUSH: Here's Ben in Dayton, Ohio.  Hi, Ben.  Thank you for calling.  You're up next on the Rush Limbaugh program.  Hi.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CALLER:  Hey Rush, college kid dittos from Dayton. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RUSH:  Thank you, sir.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CALLER:  I'm 21.  I'm a student.  I'm an engineering student, but theology is kind of one of my passions, and I just loved your analysis on the need for hypocrisy.  And I just wanted to add -- I'm kind of borrowing from CS Lewis, but when two people bicker, both people kind of consent to an implied moral standard that the other person should like adhere to.  So anyway, I just wanted to say that was a great analysis on your part. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RUSH:  CS Lewis is exactly right.  Did you understand what he said?  When two people argue or bicker over moral standards, it proves they exist.  It's all he was saying.  There is a push to get rid of moral standards, moral equivalency, the left, the Democratic Party.  All I was saying was that hypocrisy is far more useful to a society -- it may not be to a politician, but I'm talking about society, folks.  Hypocrisy is far more useful and valuable to society than moral equivalence is.  Moral equivalence destroys standards.  Hypocrisy upholds them.  I'm not suggesting everybody go out and be a hypocrite.  Again, it's common sense, and common sense is not liberal or conservative.  Well, most often not common sense is conservative.  It very rarely is liberal.  But common sense is common sense.  Moral standards exist.  And when you have a blatant case of hypocrisy, I don't care who it is -- JFK, Clinton, Ensign, John Edwards -- what does it show?  It shows that we've still got standards.  We ought to be going, whew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                        &lt;a href="www.rushlimbaugh.com"&gt;www.rushlimbaugh.com &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/833250900591376941-8746138471051802650?l=fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/feeds/8746138471051802650/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=833250900591376941&amp;postID=8746138471051802650' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/8746138471051802650'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/8746138471051802650'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/2009/06/why-society-needs-hypocrisy_1276.html' title='Why Society Needs Hypocrisy'/><author><name>Ryan_Th3_K1d</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07366108526860289155</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ivUWZHSnMIM/TDUgXwnVmdI/AAAAAAAAE8Q/HHla914dnoQ/S220/running.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833250900591376941.post-9016633933363002562</id><published>2009-06-18T19:02:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-06-18T19:04:14.332-06:00</updated><title type='text'>In honor and appreciation to fathers everywhere!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pOAB-l5o2XQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pOAB-l5o2XQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/833250900591376941-9016633933363002562?l=fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/feeds/9016633933363002562/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=833250900591376941&amp;postID=9016633933363002562' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/9016633933363002562'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/9016633933363002562'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/2009/06/in-honor-and-appreciation-to-fathers.html' title='In honor and appreciation to fathers everywhere!!!'/><author><name>Ryan_Th3_K1d</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07366108526860289155</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ivUWZHSnMIM/TDUgXwnVmdI/AAAAAAAAE8Q/HHla914dnoQ/S220/running.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833250900591376941.post-6081921961188713391</id><published>2009-06-09T10:12:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2009-06-09T10:20:36.418-06:00</updated><title type='text'>The Wonders of US Medicine</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;

The most popular of these vices include marijuana smoking, prostitution, and all forms of gambling. The proponents for decriminalization believe that the new tax revenues produced would help support schools, healthcare, and the impoverished, ease the pain of taxpayers, and reduce the deficit. They also believe that transgressions such as these will take place no matter, but, if properly regulated, would be safer for society in general. It would be a win, win situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,times;font-size:100%;"&gt;Unfortunately, when it comes to lowering taxes and helping the downtrodden, the best-laid government plans seem to fall short of expectations. However, there is one vice, one small illegal indiscretion, that, if decriminalized would solve all our problems.  The United States needs to legalize the victimless crime known as counterfeiting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,times;font-size:100%;"&gt;Once legalized, counterfeiting would be for everyone. This could be accomplished by making Federal Reserve Note paper (complete with silk threads, watermarks, etc.) available to the public. With the correct paper, most computers with the right software would have no trouble replicating U.S. currency. If a household did not have a computer, special over- the-counter counterfeit kits could be made available, with instructions in both English and Spanish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,times;font-size:100%;"&gt;Once in place, universal counterfeiting would prove to be the ultimate stimulus package for the economy. Employees would always have enough money and never have to go on strike. Citizens would have no trouble paying their mortgages and never face foreclosure.  Everyone would gladly pay his or her taxes and there would be no need to have an IRS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,times;font-size:100%;"&gt;Free market consumerism would return with a flourish. People would purchase whatever they wanted and stores would only have to worry about having enough merchandise on hand. Stores could charge the consumer whatever they wanted and the consumer could still afford. Every shopping day would be like the day after Thanksgiving and the day before Christmas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,times;font-size:100%;"&gt;Once legalized, counterfeiting would still have to be regulated.  Parity and fairness would dictate that families earning over $250,000 would only be allowed to print $1, $2, $5 and $10 denominations. Families with combined incomes of less than $250,000 could print $20 and $50 bills. The unemployed could print $100 bills, and ACORN workers and UAW members would be entitled to counterfeit a new denomination, something even larger than the $100 bill (with President Obama on the front).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img title="Obama bill" height="189" alt="Obama bill" src="http://www.americanthinker.com/Obama%20100k%20bill.jpg" width="448" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,times;font-size:100%;"&gt;Universal counterfeiting could be the entitlement program that ends all other entitlement programs and sets us free. It is time to stand up and tell our legislators we want universal counterfeiting.  If they protest, "You cannot just print money," then promptly respond in kind, "Why not, Mr. Congressman? Your doing it."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/833250900591376941-7545612106729240009?l=fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/feeds/7545612106729240009/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=833250900591376941&amp;postID=7545612106729240009' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/7545612106729240009'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/7545612106729240009'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/2009/05/time-to-legalize-counterfeiting.html' title='Time to Legalize Counterfeiting'/><author><name>Ryan_Th3_K1d</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07366108526860289155</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ivUWZHSnMIM/TDUgXwnVmdI/AAAAAAAAE8Q/HHla914dnoQ/S220/running.jpg'/></author><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833250900591376941.post-4123267474071997191</id><published>2009-05-22T23:51:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2009-05-22T23:59:58.983-06:00</updated><title type='text'>A Post Turtle...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ivUWZHSnMIM/SheP8jcblOI/AAAAAAAADt4/q2qneWFvBIo/s1600-h/Postturtle.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img style="text-decoration: underline;display: block;

before the hike Tyler's buddy calls in sick, and since we already rented snow shoes we decided to go by ourselves.  Above is a picture right before we hit the trail at 0840.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

 Pack light!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2.  Leave early: around 5-6am would've been best because the snow would've been hard and we wouldn't have sunk as many

Green replies, lowering his voice so the other shoppers won't hear. "But since you're a good and faithful customer, I'll let you in on it. It's fish heads. You eat enough of them, you'll be positively brilliant."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You sell them here?" the customer asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Only $4 apiece," says Mr. Green.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The customer buys three. A week later, he's back in the store complaining that the fish heads were disgusting and he isn't any smarter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You haven't eaten enough yet," says Mr. Green. The customer goes home with 20 more fish heads. Two weeks later, he's back and this time he's really angry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hey, Mr. Green," he says, "You're selling me fish heads for $4 a piece -- I just realized that I can buy the whole fish here for just $2. You're ripping me off!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There now, you see that?" says Mr. Green.

The trouble with most diets is that one doesn't get enough to eat (the starvation diet), or you don't get enough variation (the liquid diet), or you go broke (the all-meat diet).  Consequently, people tend to cheat on their diets, or quit after 3 days, and go right back to stuffing their faces after it is all over.  Is there nothing one can do. . . .? &lt;p&gt;  . . . . The new &lt;strong&gt;Toddler Miracle Diet&lt;/strong&gt;, used by millions  of trim toddlers the world over!!! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt;DAY ONE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breakfast - One scrambled egg, one piece of toast with grape jelly. Eat 2 bites of egg, using your fingers; dump the rest on the floor. Take 1 bite of toast, then smear the jelly over your face and clothes. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Lunch - Four crayons (any color), a handful of potato chips, and a glass of milk (3 sips only, then spill the rest). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Dinner - A dry stick, two pennies and a nickel, 4 sips of stale beer. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Bedtime Snack - Toast piece of bread and toss it on the kitchen floor. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt;DAY TWO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breakfast - Pick up stale toast from kitchen floor and eat it.  Drink half bottle of vanilla extract or one vial of vegetable dye. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Lunch - Half a tube of "Pulsating Pink" lipstick and a cigarette (to be eaten, not smoked).  One ice cube, if desired. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Afternoon Snack - Lick an all-day sucker until sticky, take outside, drop in dirt.  Retrieve and continue slurping until it is clean again.  Then bring inside and drop on the rug. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Dinner - A rock or an uncooked bean, which should be thrust up your left nostril.  Pour iced tea over mashed potatoes; eat with a spoon. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt;DAY THREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breakfast - Two pancakes with plenty of syrup, eat with fingers, rub in hair.  Glass of milk:  drink half, stuff pancakes in glass. After breakfast, pick up yesterday's sucker from rug, lick off fuzz, and put it on the cushion of your best chair. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Lunch - Three matches, peanutbutter and jelly sandwich.  Spit several bites onto the floor.  Pour glass of milk on table and slurp up. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Dinner - Dish of ice cream, handful of potato chips, some wine, coffee. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt;FINAL DAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breakfast - A quarter-tube of toothpaste (any flavor), bit of soap, an olive. Pour a glass of milk over bowl of cornflakes, add a half-cup of sugar.  Once cereal is soggy, drink milk and feed cereal to dog. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Lunch - Eat crumbs off kitchen floor and dining room carpet.

If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices &amp;amp; strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Money talks. Chocolate sings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11.Q. Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous? A. Because no one wants to quit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That way, at least you'll get one thing done.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/833250900591376941-2618393370177801055?l=fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/feeds/2618393370177801055/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=833250900591376941&amp;postID=2618393370177801055' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/2618393370177801055'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/2618393370177801055'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/2008/12/chocolate.html' title='Chocolate!!!'/><author><name>Ryan_Th3_K1d</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07366108526860289155</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ivUWZHSnMIM/TDUgXwnVmdI/AAAAAAAAE8Q/HHla914dnoQ/S220/running.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833250900591376941.post-644965689623818026</id><published>2008-12-20T23:19:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-20T23:19:27.160-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A late Friday's Funny</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.i2i.org/images/bailout%20claus%20ii-b_hummel.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Portable BBQ Grill! This is for real -- you too can get your very own free Portable BBQ Grill from any of the following fine establishments (if your local store isn't listed below, you may find that they do have the free Portable BBQ Grill available anyway, so be sure to check it out!):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;A&amp;amp;P | Albertsons | Big Lots | Brookshire's | Costco | Food Lion | Fry's | K-mart | Kroger | Meijer | Publix | Quality Markets | Safeway | Sam's Club | Shurfine | Target | Tops | Vons | WalMart | Winco Foods | Winn-Dixie | &lt;i&gt;and many others!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;I especially like the higher shelf which is great for keeping the kids' hot dogs warm while you're finishing up the adults' burgers or steaks! Just make sure to get the plain metal grills, if you can find them ... the plastic-coated grills don't last as long, and they tend to make the food taste a bit odd!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ivUWZHSnMIM/SUaKPTKzoEI/AAAAAAAACyA/4qmIAOYJiEs/s1600-h/freebbq.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 375px; height: 288px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ivUWZHSnMIM/SUaKPTKzoEI/AAAAAAAACyA/4qmIAOYJiEs/s320/freebbq.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280059608586756162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/833250900591376941-8475657682601355258?l=fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/feeds/8475657682601355258/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=833250900591376941&amp;postID=8475657682601355258' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/8475657682601355258'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/8475657682601355258'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/2008/12/free-bbq-grills.html' title='Free BBQ Grills'/><author><name>Ryan_Th3_K1d</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07366108526860289155</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ivUWZHSnMIM/TDUgXwnVmdI/AAAAAAAAE8Q/HHla914dnoQ/S220/running.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ivUWZHSnMIM/SUaKPTKzoEI/AAAAAAAACyA/4qmIAOYJiEs/s72-c/freebbq.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833250900591376941.post-7805325258841171942</id><published>2008-12-12T20:26:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-12T20:34:19.220-07:00</updated><title type='text'>GUNS!!!!!</title><content type='html'>Here is a few pictures of my new 9mm, holster and belt for the wheel gun, Malcolm's shotgun, and the gun safe full!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/ryanpaulweaver/GUNS#"&gt;http://picasaweb.google.com/ryanpaulweaver/GUNS#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/833250900591376941-7805325258841171942?l=fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/feeds/7805325258841171942/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=833250900591376941&amp;postID=7805325258841171942' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/7805325258841171942'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/7805325258841171942'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/2008/12/guns.html' title='GUNS!!!!!'/><author><name>Ryan_Th3_K1d</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07366108526860289155</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ivUWZHSnMIM/TDUgXwnVmdI/AAAAAAAAE8Q/HHla914dnoQ/S220/running.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833250900591376941.post-9139523973913533516</id><published>2008-12-10T22:19:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T22:20:37.711-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='keyboard'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='printer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mouse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dumb computer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='computer'/><title type='text'>What happens inside your PC</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Computer:Monitor, display this document, ok?&lt;br /&gt;Monitor: No prob, boss.&lt;br /&gt;Computer: OK, now it looks like Mouse is moving around so, Monitor, will you move the pointer icon accordingly?&lt;br /&gt;Monitor: Anything you ask, boss.&lt;br /&gt;Computer: Great, great.

Messy</title><content type='html'>I know that most, if not all, of you visitors to my blog out there have a immaculate bedrooms all the time, I, in fact, do not.  Some times my room is sooo messy that it's hard for me to find my own bed in the usual mess of snowboarding equipment, gun stuff, school books, electronic stuff/computers, hunting stuff, dogs, dirty clothes, clean clothes, and shoes that my floor is often littered with.  It so happened that one morning a few weeks ago mom came in and told me i had to clean my room before i ate breakfast.  Well, with my favorite meal hanging on the line i decided that it might be worth it to clean my room.  While cleaning my room i started finding items that i thought were lost.  And that is when i started thinking...you know maybe a messy room is better than a clean one.  Because if you loose something and your room is messy chances are it is in your room and all you have to do is start picking up a little and you'll find it.   But if you had a clean room then when you lost something it's going to be harder to find because it's probably not in your room and it's somewhere else, either in the rest of the house or you left it at a store you were recently at or you left it at a friends house.  So I deducted that having a messy room was more adventagous for me because then I could find lost items quicker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I propose that everyone should leave their room messy so that we don't loose as many items!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/833250900591376941-7503043862916571561?l=fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/feeds/7503043862916571561/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=833250900591376941&amp;postID=7503043862916571561' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/7503043862916571561'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/7503043862916571561'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/2008/12/clean-vs-messy.html' title='Clean Vs.

The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches.  That's an exceedingly odd number.  Why was that gauge used?  Because that's the way they built them in England, and English expatriates built the US railroads.  Why did the English build them like that?  Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways (in the coal mines), and that's the gauge they used.  Why did 'they' use that gauge then?  Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.  Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?  Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.  So who built those old rutted roads?  Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and  England) for their legions.  The roads have been used ever since.  And the ruts in the roads?  Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels.  Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing.  Therefore, the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot.  Bureaucracies live forever.  So the next time you are handed a Specification/Procedure/Process and wonder 'What horse's rear came up with it?' you may be exactly right.  Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the back ends or the rear ends of two war horses.  (Two horses' back ends.)  Now, the twist to the story: When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank.  These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory at Utah.  The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs  had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site.  The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains.  And the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.  So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's behind.  And you thought being a horse's rear wasn't important?

  Whenever your kids are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God had trouble with His kids. After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam. The first thing He said to Adam was: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Don't eat from the forbidden fruit in the middle of the garden".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Forbidden fruit? Adam inquired.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Yes, you may eat of all the fruit in the garden except from the tree in the middle of the garden." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; We got forbidden fruit! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; So then God created Eve &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; One of Adam's first conversations with Eve (not recorded in the Bible) follows: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Hey, Eve...we got forbidden fruit!" &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "No way!" &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Yes way!" &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Don't eat that fruit!" said God. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Why?" &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Because I am your Father and I know it won't be good for you!" said God. A few minutes later God saw the telltale sign of apple cores on the ground. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" the First Parent asked. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "I didn't do it," said Adam &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Not me," said Eve &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Then where did these apple cores come from?" asked God. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "We both did it," Adam admitted. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Then why did you?" &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "I dunno" Eve answered. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "She started it!" Adam said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Did not!" &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Did too!" &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "DID NOT!! It was the snake's fault." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus, the pattern was set and it has never changed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; But there is reassurance in this story. If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give your children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God's first children were disobedient, what makes you think yours won't be? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Advice for the day: If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: Take two and keep away from children. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/833250900591376941-2848682467512150996?l=fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/feeds/2848682467512150996/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=833250900591376941&amp;postID=2848682467512150996' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/2848682467512150996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/2848682467512150996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/2008/03/god-adam-and-eve-and-your-kids.html' title='God, Adam and Eve, and Your Kids'/><author><name>Ryan_Th3_K1d</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07366108526860289155</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ivUWZHSnMIM/TDUgXwnVmdI/AAAAAAAAE8Q/HHla914dnoQ/S220/running.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833250900591376941.post-9070674882827683093</id><published>2008-03-17T09:40:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2008-03-17T09:43:17.019-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Deer Education...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;This didn't happen to me...but its still just as funny&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first step in this adventure was getting a deer. I figured that, since they congregate at my cattle feeder and do not seem to have much fear of me when we are there (a bold one will sometimes come right up and sniff at the bags of feed while I am in the back of the truck not 4 feet away), it should not be difficult to rope one, get up to it and toss a bag over its head (to calm it down) then hog tie it and transport it home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I filled the cattle feeder then hid down at the end with my rope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cattle, having seen the roping thing before, stayed well back. They were not having any of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After about 20 minutes my deer showed up -- 3 of them. I picked out a likely looking one! , stepped out from the end of the feeder, and threw my rope. The deer just stood there and stared at me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wrapped the rope around my waist and twisted the end so I would have a good hold. The deer still just stood and stared at me, but you could tell it was mildly concerned about the whole rope situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took a step towards it...it took a step away. I put a little tension on the rope and then received an education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing that I learned is that, while a deer may just stand there looking at you funny while you rope it, they are spurred to action when you start pulling on that rope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That deer EXPLODED.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second thing I learned is that pound for pound, a deer is a LOT stronger than a cow or a colt. A cow or a colt in that weight range I could fight down with a rope and with some dignity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A deer -- no chance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That thing ran and bucked and twisted and pulled. There was no controlling it and certainly no getting close to it. As it jerked me off my feet and started dragging me across the ground, it occurred to me that having a deer on a rope was not nearly as good an idea as I had originally imagined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only upside is that they do not have as much stamina as many other animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A brief 10 minutes later, it was tired and not nearly as quick to jerk me off my feet and drag me when I managed to get up. It took me a few minutes to realize this, since I was mostly blinded by the blood flowing out of the big gash in my head. At that point, I had lost my taste for corn-fed venison. I just wanted to get that devil creature off the end of that rope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I figured if I just let it go with the rope hanging around its neck, it would likely die slow and painfully somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the time, there was no love at all between me and that deer. At that moment, I hated the thing, and I would venture a guess that the feeling was mutual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the gash in my head and the several large knots where I had cleverly arrested the deer's momentum by bracing my head against various large rocks as it dragged me across the ground, I could still think clearly enough to recognize that there was a small chance that I shared some tiny amount of responsibility for the situation we were in, so I didn't want the deer to have to suffer a slow death, so I managed to get it lined back up in between my truck and the feeder - a little trap I had set before hand...kind of like a squeeze chute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got it to back in there and I started moving up so I could get my rope back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that deer bite? They do! I never in a million years would have thought that a deer would bite somebody, so I was very surprised when I reached up there to grab that rope and the deer grabbed hold of my wrist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, when a deer bites you, it is not like being bit by a horse where they just bite you and then let go. A deer bites you and shakes its head -- almost like a pit bull. They bite HARD! and it hurts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The proper thing to do when a deer bites you is probably to freeze and draw back slowly. I tried screaming and shaking instead. My method was ineffective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems like the deer was biting and shaking for several minutes, but it was likely only several seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I, being smarter than a deer (though you may be questioning that claim by now) tricked it. While I kept it busy tearing the bejesus out of my right arm, I reached up with my left hand and pulled that rope loose. That was when I got my final lesson in deer behavior for the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deer will strike at you with their front feet. They rear right up on their back feet and strike right about head and shoulder level, and their hooves are surprisingly sharp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learned a long time ago that, when an animal -- like a horse -- strikes at you with their hooves and you can't get away easily, the best thing to do is try to make a loud noise and make an aggressive move towards the animal. This will usually cause them to back down a bit so you can escape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was not a horse. This was a deer, so obviously, such trickery would not work. In the course of a millisecond, I devised a different strategy. I screamed like a woman and tried to turn and run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason I had always been told NOT to try to turn and run from a horse that paws at you is that there is a good chance that it will hit you in the back of the head. Deer may not be so different from horses after all, besides being twice as strong and 3 times as evil, because the second I turned to run, it hit me right in the back of the head and knocked me down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, when a deer paws at you and knocks you down, it does not immediately leave. I suspect it does not recognize that the danger has passed.

When we first got there it wasn't snowing hard at all. But by the middle to the end of the day it was snowing really hard...so there was lots of powder which made for some awesome riding. I brought the camera to take some video's of us snowboarding. I'm wearing a black helmet and Malcolm has the green one on...thats the only way to tell the difference without us standing next to each other. Tyler is in the white camo...Rachel is in all black...and Daniel has a yellow helmet on. Because it was so cold the battery didn't last very long, so we didn't get much footage. Most of the stuff we were doing in the video we were able to land by the end of the day...but the camera didn't last that long because snow and electronics don't mix.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy the video...more is sure to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="357" height="290" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-3fd0a2b34f018ff9" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v17.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D3fd0a2b34f018ff9%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331591644%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D63BAA48DE582E71C00994404E2696F225C600819.8470DA838253FEAD0B5E4E804ABAF29D2E317F49%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D3fd0a2b34f018ff9%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D651ugZyLu31rtAXAQgeAxgMjMR4&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="357" height="290" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v17.nonxt8.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D3fd0a2b34f018ff9%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331591644%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D63BAA48DE582E71C00994404E2696F225C600819.8470DA838253FEAD0B5E4E804ABAF29D2E317F49%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D3fd0a2b34f018ff9%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D651ugZyLu31rtAXAQgeAxgMjMR4&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/833250900591376941-5694028891331437915?l=fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=3fd0a2b34f018ff9&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/feeds/5694028891331437915/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=833250900591376941&amp;postID=5694028891331437915' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/5694028891331437915'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/833250900591376941/posts/default/5694028891331437915'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fiddlerontheground.blogspot.com/2008/03/eldora-snowboarding-trip.html' title='Eldora Snowboarding Trip'/><author><name>Ryan_Th3_K1d</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07366108526860289155</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ivUWZHSnMIM/TDUgXwnVmdI/AAAAAAAAE8Q/HHla914dnoQ/S220/running.jpg'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry></feed>
