As they say in the radio ads for drag racing, "SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!"  Folks, the gates may open a noon, and there may be "55 funny cars," but we'd only consider going for the 50 cent beers and the wet t-shirt contest.  It's not that we don't like fast cars, but we like loose women better!  Life is full of choices and we've made ours.

I went out at late late night, intending to charge my phone at MiniStop’s I-Charj. I ran towards theplace. I waited ten minutes. During all thosetime, the FHM & Maxim Magazine to my left at a certain portion of the store attracts and tempts my eyes. Oh, human weakness, why can’t you understand that I devote my life to charity.
