A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience. "Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents."
Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?"
"Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like...Helloooooo? It's only 25 cents!!!!
Joke 2 (from Stevo):
A blonde calls her boyfriend and says, "Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get started."
Her boyfriend asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"
The blonde says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a rooster."
Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle.
She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table.
He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces I into anything resembling a rooster."
He takes her hand and says, "Second, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then .." he said with a deep sigh...........
"Let's put all the Corn Flakes back in the box."

Daily Mail Newspaper - October 30, 2007
New technology that can make tanks invisible has been unveiled by the Ministry of Defence.
In secret trials last week, the Army said it had made a vehicle completely disappear and predicted that an invisible tank would be ready for service by 2012.
The new technology uses cameras and projectors to beam images of the surrounding landscape onto a tank.
Now you see it: How the tank might look with background images beamed onto the side
The result is that anyone looking in the direction of the vehicle only sees what is beyond it and not the tank itself.
A soldier, who was at the trials, said: "This technology is incredible. If I hadn't been present I wouldn't have believed it. I looked across the fields and just saw grass and trees - but in reality I was staring down the barrel of a tank gun."
How the technology works in a combat situation is very sensitive, but the MoD is believed to be testing a military jacket that works on the same principles.
It is the type of innovation normally associated with James Bond, and the brains behind the latest technology is the MoD's very own "Q" - Professor Sir John Pendry, of Imperial College London.
He said the only drawback was the reliability of the cameras and projectors.
But he added: "The next stage is to make the tank invisible without them - which is intricate and complicated, but possible."

We, like so many people, are huge Simpsons fans. Below is a picture from a Simpsons Halloween party we hosted a couple of years ago. Rob went as Mr. Burns and Lori as Otto. We had beer and donuts as snack food, played some funs games and had a great time.

Mikael Håfström, the director, does an excellent job of placing you in the panic of the situation and orchestras events that prescribe fear. Håfström keeps your attention through out this movie by personifying "the room" with his stylist direction, intense sound effects and subtle clues. If you are a Carpenters' fan, after seeing this movie, you will have a different sentiment for the song "We've Only Just Begun." Can't explain...just have to see.
M. Night Shyamalan is one of my favorite directors. Håfström is on stride to join that group. "1408" is the best thriller of the year. Since "1408" was released on June 22, I'm not sure how long it will remain in theaters. So don't delay, call the Dolphin Hotel and ask for room 1408. You will not be disappointed.

Basically, the series looks at today's popular songs and how the words can reflect scripture and God's message. It is a great series.
This week the worship band performed "What I've Done" by Linkin Park. The band is amazing every week. This week they were exceptional. Before we go further, let us mention that we realize the purpose of the band and it's role during the service. They play with the true intent to worship and serve genuinely with humility. With that said, today they rocked. We have heard many bands, in many bars, perform many cover songs, from many different bands. Today's performance at church ranks with the best. The band was impressive, but the vocal by Dave Holt was phenomenal! Dave hit every note with such accuracy, it was as if the song was written for his voice. This extraordinary performance not only showcased the hard work and talent of the worship band, but begged for an encore. Sadly, after Jeff finished his sermon, they re-played only a third of the song and we were dismissed. Encore...Encore!
You can check out the sermon here at lifepointnow.com. If you are not familiar with the song, here are the lyrics:
In this farewell There’s no blood There’s no alibi Cause I’ve drawn regret From the truth Of a thousand lies
So let mercy come And wash away What I’ve done
I'll face myself To cross out what I’ve become Erase myself And let go of what I’ve done
Put to rest What you thought of me Well I cleaned this slate With the hands Of uncertainty
For what I’ve done I start again And whatever pain may come Today this ends I’m forgiving what I’ve done]]>http://drennans.com/index.php?entry=entry070715-2221272007-07-16T00:00:00Z2007-07-16T00:00:00ZLive Free and Don't See I like action movies. "Aliens", "Die Hard", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "The Road Warrior" and "The Matrix" are a few of the classic action movies. As I write this, I am still trying to vanquish this movie from my mind. "Live Free and Die Hard" is no action movie....it is barely a movie.
If you want to see a great movie, check out "Knocked Up" or "Ratatouille". You will not be disappointed.
