Google chupacabra for inspiration. It's a mexican version of the vamp.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Except McCain also knows that in order to beat Obama he needs to pull in independent voters who aren't going to be swayed by Republican Loyalty and will be influenced by "straight talk" about the state of affairs.

“Not dead yet!”
Well, and there was the Korean woman landing out of bounds on both vaults. Bullshit, says I.

I hate PBS. They are airing the last of the Inspector Lynley mysteries now. When I need to go to bed. Bastards.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Allyson, Gerald Durrell had a description of his encounters with vampire bats in one of his books. I thought it was in The Drunken Forest, but Wikipedia says it was The Whispering Land.
I don't currently have copies of those, but your library might.

The conclusion I've come to WRT to the scoring is that it's become like some of ice skating in that you get scored on your reputation, not the actual performance, which is total BS.

In women's gymnastics, if you land inside the lines then step out, it's not considered out of bounds. Also, the vault score is the combination of both, so if you do a kick-ass one and blow the second, you could still do well.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've got about 5-6 automated calls today for Miguel Sanchez warning about possible fraud on his Visa card. What exactly do I have to do to make these calls stop?
Tom, we had a scam going on in town here--a batch of phone numbers (my mobile included) were getting "fraud" calls about debit cards being cancelled. Turns out they were bogus and fishing for info--some people called the numbers back and got taken--the cash was taken out in Eastern Europe. Report the calls to your provider and to Visa.

Hivemind: Since DH has been placed as director of marketing in his last promotion he would like to know what people think of a keychain tag with your car insurance info on it or possibly with the phone numbers to call in case of an accident.
