I’ll do anything for a…

A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after-work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy young man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes away from him. The young man noticed her overly attentive stare & walked directly toward her. Before she could offer her apologies for being so rude for staring, the young man said to her, ‘I’ll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $100, on one condition.’ Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The young man replied, ‘You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words.’ The woman considered his proposition for a moment, withdrew from her purse and slowly counted out five $20 bills, which she pressed into the young man’s hand along with her address. She looked deeply into his eyes & slowly, meaningfully said, “Clean my house.”

Who is Matthew Abram Groening ?

Who is Matthew Abram Groening? The world knows him as the creator of The Simpsons, Futurama and Life in Hell. Groening was born February 15, 1954 in Portland, Oregon)[1]
He grew up in Portland, he is the middle child of five children. His mother, Margaret Wiggum,[5] was once a teacher, and his father, Homer Philip Groening, was a filmmaker, advertiser, writer and cartoonist.[6] Homer, born in Main Centre, Saskatchewan, Canada, grew up in a Mennonite, Plattdeutsch-speaking family.[7] Matt’s grandfather Abram Groening was a professor at Tabor College, a Mennonite Brethren liberal arts college in Hillsboro, Kansas before moving to Albany College (now known as Lewis and Clark College) in Oregon in 1930.[8]

From 1972[9] to 1977, Groening attended The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington,[10] a liberal school which he described as “a hippie college, with no grades or required classes, that drew every weirdo in the Northwest.”[11] He served as the editor of the campus newspaper, The Cooper Point Journal, for which he also wrote articles and drew cartoons. Later in 1977, at the age of 23, Groening moved to Los Angeles to become a writer. He went through what he described as “a series of lousy jobs,” including being an extra in the film When Everyday Was The Fourth of July,[15] bussing tables,[16] washing dishes at a nursing home, landscaping in a sewage treatment plant,[17] and chauffeuring and ghostwriting for a retired Western director.[18][19]

Groening described life in Los Angeles to his friends in the form of a self-published comic book entitled Life in Hell, which was loosely inspired by a chapter entitled “How to Go to Hell” in Walter Kaufmann’s book Critique of Religion and Philosophy.[20] Groening distributed the comic book in the book corner of Licorice Pizza, a record store in which he worked. He made his first professional cartoon sale to the avant-garde Wet magazine in 1978.[20] The strip, entitled “Forbidden Words,” appeared in the September/October issue of that year.[16][21]
Groening gained employment at the Los Angeles Reader, a newly formed alternative newspaper, delivering papers,[9] typesetting, editing and answering phones.[17] He showed his cartoons to the editor, James Vowell, who was impressed and eventually gave him a spot in the paper.[9] Life in Hell made its official debut as a comic strip in the Reader on April 25, 1980.[16][22]
Vowell also gave Groening his own weekly music column, “Sound Mix,” in 1982. However, the column would rarely actually be about music, as he would often write about his “various enthusiasms, obsessions, pet peeves and problems” instead.[11] In an effort to add more music to the column, he “just made stuff up,”[15] concocting and reviewing fictional bands and non-existent records. In the following week’s column, he would confess to fabricating everything in the previous column and swear that everything in the new column was true. Eventually, he was finally asked to give up the “music” column.[23]

Life in Hell became popular almost immediately.[24] In November 1984, Deborah Caplan, Groening’s then-girlfriend and co-worker at the Reader, offered to publish “Love is Hell”, a series of relationship-themed Life in Hell strips, in book form.[25] Released a month later, the book was an underground success, selling 22,000 copies in its first two printings. Work is Hell soon followed, also published by Caplan.[9] Soon afterward, Caplan and Groening left and put together the Life in Hell Co., which handled merchandising for Life in Hell.[16] Groening also started a syndicate, Acme Features Syndicate, which syndicated Life in Hell, Lynda Barry and John Callahan, but now only syndicates Life in Hell.[9] Life in Hell is still carried in 250 weekly newspapers and has been anthologized in a series of books, including School is Hell, Childhood is Hell, The Big Book of Hell and The Huge Book of Hell.[4] Groening has stated that he will “never give up the comic strip. It’s my foundation.”[26]

Life in Hell caught the attention of James L. Brooks. In 1985, Brooks contacted Groening with the proposition of working in animation for the FOX variety show The Tracey Ullman Show. Groening and Deborah Caplan married in 1986[17] and had two sons together, Homer (who goes by Will) and Abe,[38] both of whom Groening occasionally portrays as rabbits in Life in Hell. The couple divorced in 1999 after thirteen years of marriage.[18] Following this, Groening was in a six-year relationship with dating expert Lauren Frances.Groening identifies himself as agnostic[58] and a liberal[59] and has often made campaign contributions to Democratic Party candidates.[60] His first cousin, Laurie Monnes Anderson, is a member of the Oregon State Senate representing eastern Multnomah County.[61]


Originally, Brooks wanted Groening to adapt his Life in Hell characters for the show. Fearing the loss of ownership rights, Groening decided to create something new and came up with a cartoon family, the Simpsons and named the members after his own parents and sisters — while Bart was an anagram of the word brat. The shorts would be spun off into their own series: The Simpsons, which has since aired over 400 episodes in 19 seasons. In 1997, Groening got together with David X. Cohen and developed Futurama, an animated series about life in the year 3000, which premiered in 1999. After four years on the air, the show was cancelled by Fox in 2003, but Comedy Central commissioned 16 new episodes from 4 Direct-to-DVD Movies to be aired in 2008.

Groening has won 11 Primetime Emmy Awards, ten for The Simpsons and one for Futurama as well as a British Comedy Award for “outstanding contribution to comedy” in 2004. In 2002, he won the National Cartoonist Society Reuben Award for his work on Life in Hell.

Life in Hell caught the attention of Hollywood writer–producer and Gracie Films founder James L. Brooks, who had been shown the strip by fellow producer Polly Platt.[24][27] In 1985, Brooks contacted Groening with the proposition of working in animation on an undefined future project,[6] which would turn out to be developing a series of short animated skits, called “bumpers,” for the FOX variety show The Tracey Ullman Show. Originally, Brooks wanted Groening to adapt his Life in Hell characters for the show. Fearing the loss of ownership rights, Groening decided to create something new and came up with a cartoon family, the Simpsons.[28] He allegedly designed the five members of the family in only ten minutes.[29]
Groening storyboarded and scripted every short (now known as The Simpsons shorts), which were then animated by a team including David Silverman and Wes Archer, both of whom would later become directors on the series.[30] The shorts premiered on The Tracey Ullman show on April 19, 1987.

Although The Tracey Ullman Show was not a big hit,[24] the popularity of the shorts led to a half-hour spin-off in 1989. The series quickly became a worldwide phenomenon, to the surprise of many. Groening said: “Nobody thought The Simpsons was going to be a big hit. It sneaked up on everybody.”The Simpsons was co-developed by Groening, Brooks, and Sam Simon, a writer-producer with whom Brooks had worked on previous projects. Groening and Simon, however, did not get along[24] and were often in conflict over the show;[16] Groening once described their relationship as “very contentious.”[28] Simon eventually left the show in 1993 over creative differences.[31]

Although Groening has pitched a number of spin-offs from The Simpsons, those attempts have been unsuccessful. In 1994, Groening and other Simpsons producers pitched a live-action spin-off about Krusty the Clown (with Dan Castellaneta playing the lead role), but were unsuccessful in getting it off the ground.[19][32] Groening has also pitched “Young Homer” and a spin-off about the non-Simpsons citizens of Springfield.[33] In 1995, Groening got into a major disagreement with Brooks and other Simpsons producers over “A Star Is Burns“, a crossover episode with The Critic, an animated show also produced by Brooks and staffed with many former Simpsons crew members. Groening claimed that he feared viewers would “see it as nothing but a pathetic attempt to advertise The Critic at the expense of The Simpsons,” and was concerned about the possible implication that he had created or produced The Critic.[34] He requested his name be taken off the episode.[35]

Groening is credited with writing or co-writing the episodes “Some Enchanted Evening“, “The Telltale Head“, “Colonel Homer” and “22 Short Films About Springfield“, as well as The Simpsons Movie, released in 2007.[36] He has had several cameo appearances in the show, with a speaking role in the episode “My Big Fat Geek Wedding“. He currently serves at The Simpsons as an executive producer and creative consultant.

Who is Amaury Nolasco Garrido


Who is Amaury Nolasco Garrido, you probably know him as Fernando Sucre on the television series Prison Break. Nolasco was born in Puerto Rico on December 24, 1970.

Puerto Rican born Amaury Nolasco had no intention of becoming an actor when he was studying biology at the University of Puerto Rico on the road to becoming a doctor, but a casting director who recruited him into an appearance in a commercial changed his plans, and within a few gigs he was hooked. He packed his bags and moved to New York, where he enrolled at the American-British-Dramatic-Arts School and began appearing on shows like CSI and ER.
Within a few years, Nolasco had built up a resumé that made him more viable for substantial movie roles. In 2003, he landed a small part in 2 Fast 2 Furious, and in 2004 he scored a role in the Bernie Maccomedy Mr. 3000. These big breaks were nothing, however, compared to the job he got in 2005 when he was cast as series regular Fernando Sucre on the hit series Prison Break. On the heels of this success, Nolasco nabbed a supporting role in the David Spade comedy The Benchwarmers, but much more impressive was the role he signed up for later that year, joining the cast of the hotly anticipated big-screen version of Transformers, slated for release in 2007.

Nolasco was a supporter of the presidential campaign of Barack Obama and made a guest appearance in Will.I.Am’s music video, “Yes We Can”.[1]

He has been romantically linked to former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres.
Nolasco has guest-starred in various television series such as Arli$$, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and ER. His first role on a feature film was as “Orange Julius” in Universal’s 2 Fast 2 Furious. He then went on to co-star opposite Bernie Mac in Mr. 3000.
Nolasco’s additional television and film credits include guest-starring roles on George Lopez, CSI: NY and The Benchwarmers. He also appeared on Mind of Mencia as a guest on Sunday, April 29, 2007. He also starred in the smash hit Transformers movie, released during the summer of 2007. His most high-profile role to date is FOX’s hit series Prison Break.

He has 3 ALMA Awards nominations :

2008 Nominated ALMA Award Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Television Series for: “Prison Break” (2005)

2006 Nominated ALMA Award Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Television Series
for: “Prison Break” (2005)

NJ Cops

Two men were driving through New Jersey when they got pulled over by a NJ
cop. The cop walked up and tapped on the window with his nightstick.
The driver rolled down the window and WHACK,” the cop smacked him in the
head with his nightstick.

“What the hell was that for?” the driver asked.”You’re in New Jersey, son,” the cop answered. “When we pull you over in New Jersey, you better have your license ready by the time we get to your car.” “I’m sorry, officer, ” the driver said, “I’m from New York and didn’t know your laws here.” The cop runs a check on the guy’s license–he’s clean and gives the guy his license back.

The cop then walks around to the passenger side and taps on the window. The
passenger rolls down the window and “WHACK,” the cop smacks him on the head
with the nightstick. “What’d you do that for?” the passenger demands.
“Just making your wish come true,” rep lied the cop. “Making WHAT wish come true?” the passenger asked. “Because I know you New Yorkers,” the cop says, “two miles down the road; you’re gonna turn to your buddy and say…..” I wish that asshole would’ve
tried that shit with me!”

WHY NOT TO RENT!

A businessman met a beautiful girl and agreed to spend the afternoon
with her for $500. They did their thing, and, before he left, he told
her that he did not have any cash with him, but he would have his
secretary write a cheque and mail it to her, calling the payment
“RENT FOR APARTMENT.”

On the way to the office, he regretted what he had done, realizing
that the whole event had not been worth the price. So he had his
secretary send a cheque for $250 and enclose the following typed note:
“Dear Madam: Enclosed find a cheque for $250 for rent of your
apartment. I am not sending the amount agreed upon, because when I
rented the place, I was under the impression that:

#1 – it had never been occupied;
#2 – there was plenty of heat; and
#3 – it was small enough to make me feel cosy and at home.

However, I found out that it had been previously occupied, that there
wasn’t any heat, and that it was entirely too large.” Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately returned the cheque for $250 with the following note:

“Dear Sir:
First, I cannot understand how you could expect a beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied indefinitely. As for the heat, there is plenty of it, if you know how
to turn it on. Regarding the space, the apartment is indeed of regular size,
but if you don’t have enough furniture to fill it, please do not blame
the management. Please send the rent in full or we will be forced to contact your present landlady.

20-year-old sentenced to four years in prison for sexually assaulting


CLEARWATER – A 20-year-old Titusville man was sentenced to four years in prison today for sexually assaulting his grandparents’ Yorkshire terrier.

Nicholas Densmore pleaded no contest to one count of animal cruelty in October.

On July 30, 2007, Densmore was staying with his grandparents at 4243 Dartmouth Ave. N., St. Petersburg, when his grandmother saw him in a motor home at the back of the residence, according to a police report.

Once he saw her through a window approaching the motor home, she saw him pick up her Yorkshire terrier, Dutches, by the scruff of the neck and flee, the report states. The dog was found whimpering in a trash bin, the report states.

DNA analysis of towels found with the dog showed traces of the dog’s blood and Densmore’s semen, Pinellas-Pasco Assistant State Attorney Patricia Manteiga told Pinellas Circuit Judge Nancy Moate Ley. A veterinary exam showed the anal area of the dog was torn, the report states.

The state attorney’s office requested a five-year prison sentence, the maximum penalty. Ley said that levying the maximum penalty would preclude ordering Densmore to undergo psychological evaluation upon his release.

The four-year sentence she meted out will precede a year of probation during which Densmore will be psychologically evaluated and treated. He also has been ordered to undergo a 12-week anger management course.

Densmore’s family — including his 76-year-old grandmother Claudette, who told authorities she caught him in the act – told the judge they did not want him to be sentenced to prison. They wanted him to remain at his grandparents’ house so they could ensure he takes prescribed medications.more

7 childern and 30 years of rape/incest

30 years of years of incestuous abuse, the 56-year-old father was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison with the possibility of parole in about 20 years after pleading guilty last month to rape and assault.

The point that he violated his children for such a long period of times goes beyond all belief! Some where in this picture where is the family? No one could see that the children looked like grand dad, and red flags should have popped up? Why when the children went to school with bruises, did no one report this incident?

The sentence of life was not enough… He should have been castrated first and then given the electric chair!

At no point in time should any man get away with violating his children.

It sad that the children have been jaded my the fathers sleazy lust to have sex with his children. I can not imagine the hurt and pain that they have endured over the years with physical and mental abuse!

Unfortunately these women and their children lives have been ruined!Lets just hope that the cycle of abuse ends with the last generation!

Father sentenced for rapping daughter for 30 years!

After 30 years of silence this year, the 56-year-old father was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison with the possibility of parole in about 20 years after pleading guilty last month to rape and assault. , During years of incestuous abuse, the man fathered nine children from his two daughters.
The case carries echoes of the case of Josef Fritzl — an Austrian man who confessed to imprisoning his daughter in a cellar for 24 years and fathering her seven children.
Prosecutor Nicholas Campbell said the daughters were raped regularly from an early age. If they resisted, they would be punched, kicked or held to the flames of a gas fire.
The father refused to let the girls take birth control pills. The father even held a knife to his eldest daughter’s throat and told her: “It’s never going to end.”
The father made his elder daughter pregnant seven times, fathering two children by her. She bore two other children but they died the day they were born. He made his younger daughter pregnant 12 times; Campbell said she has five surviving children. more

Psalm 55:22 — you really need to read this.

‘Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.’
This was written by a Metro Denver Hospice Physician:

I was driving home from a meeting this evening about 5 pm, stuck in traffic on Colorado Blvd., and the car started to choke,sputter and die – I barely managed to coast into a gas station, glad only that I would not be blocking traffic and have a somewhat warm spot to wait for the tow truck. It wouldn’t even turn over.

Before I could make the call, I saw a woman walking out of the ‘quickie mart’ building, and it looked like she slipped on some ice and fell into a Gas pump, so I got out to see if she was okay.

When I got there, it looked more like she had been overcome by sobs than that she had fallen; she was a young woman who looked really haggard with dark circles under her eyes. She dropped something as I helped her up, and I picked it up to give it to her. It was a nickel.

At that moment, everything came into focus for me: the crying woman, the ancient Suburban crammed full of stuff with 3 kids in the back (1 in a car seat), and the gas pump reading $4.95.

I asked her if she was okay and if she needed help, and she just kept saying ‘I don’t want my kids to see me crying,’ so we stood on the other side of the pump from her car. She said she was driving to California and that things were very hard for her right now. So I asked, ‘And you were praying?’ That made her back away from me a little, but I assured her I was not a crazy person and said, ‘He heard you, and He sent me.’

I took out my card and swiped it through the card reader on the pump so she could fill up her car completely, and while it was fuelling, walked to the next door McDonald’s and bought 2 big bags of food, some gift certificates for more, and a big cup of coffee.

She gave the food to the kids in the car, who attacked it like wolves, and we stood by the pump eating fries and talking a little.

She told me her name, and that she lived in Kansas City Her boyfriend left 2 months a go and she had not been able to make ends meet. She knew she wouldn’t have money to pay rent Jan 1, and finally, in desperation, had called her parents, with whom she had not spoken in about 5 years. They lived in California and said she could come live with them and try to get on her feet there.

So she packed up everything she owned and put it in the car. She told the kids they were going to California to see their grandparents for Christmas, but not that they were going to live there.

I gave her my gloves, a little hug and said a quick prayer with her for safety on the road. As I was walking over to my car, she said, ‘So, are you like an angel or something?’

This definitely made me cry. I said, ‘Sweetie, at this time of year angels are really busy, so sometimes God uses regular people.’

It was so incredible to be a part of someone else’s miracle. And of course, you guessed it, when I got in my car it started right away and got me home with no problem. I’ll put it in the shop tomorrow to check, but I suspect the mechanic won’t find anything wrong.

Sometimes the angels fly close enough to you that you can hear the flutter of their wings…

Psalms 55:22 ‘Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.’

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, ‘What is Politics ?’

Dad says, ‘Well son, let me try to explain it this way:

I am the head of the family , so call me The President .

Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government .

We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People .

The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class .

And your baby brother, we will call him the Future .

Now think about that and see if it makes sense.’

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.

He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.

So the little boy goes to his parent’s room and finds his mother asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, ‘Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.’

The father says, ‘Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.’

The little boy replies, ‘The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit .

Charges filed for over $67,000 in child support

The Jackson County District Attorney’s Office filed more charges last week against two men who reportedly owe over $67,000 in child support and interest. One man owes money to two different women.

Brian K. Gulbronson, 37, Black River Falls, faces 16 failure to support charges in two separate cases while Darrell J. Towne, 38, Holmen, was charged with six similar offenses.

According to the criminal complaints, Gulbronson owes $40,372 in child support and $20,365 in interest as of Sept. 30. In one case, Gulbronson was to pay $84 a week beginning in July 2002, and his last payment of $165 was last March. In another case, he was supposed to pay $71 a week beginning July 2002, and his last payment of $135 was last March.

According to the complaints, Gulbronson has been found in contempt of court on at least two occasions. He last served 60 days in jail this summer but has not been in contact with the child support agency since his release. more

Delinquent support pay earns man prison time

COLUMBUS — A 44-year-old Columbus man who “pathetically failed” in his last chance to catch up on a stack of unpaid child support bills was sentenced to 18 months to four years in prison in Platte County District Court.

District Judge Robert Steinke told Richard Delancey Wednesday he had “pathetically failed to comply with the terms of his probation” while sentencing the defendant to prison for his summer 2007 convictions on four counts of criminal nonsupport.

Steinke on Wednesday revoked the four-year probation sentence he imposed last summer against Delancey in what the judge at the time promised would be the defendant’s last chance to avoid a prison cell.

“While you don’t take the terms of your probation seriously, I do,’’ Steinke told Delancey, standing before him in front of the bench. “I gave you the opportunity to change your life … it simply has not worked. The court is without any option. You have to be held accountable.”

Criminal nonsupport is a Class IV felony, punishable by a maximum of five years imprisonment, $10,000 fine or both and no minimum sentence. more
