Outhouse Rag

As some of you know…I have another Blog

Dedicated to Google Satellite images of Landmarks called AsGoodAsBeingThere. Currently all the landmarks are in the US but now that Google maps have included other continents I will do the same. What sets AsGoodAsBeingThere apart from other sightseeing blogs is that I provide information about the landmark including photos, latest news links, hotel and motel locations and a link to the landmark’s website. Think of it as your source of visiting landmarks before you travel. I am committed to updating both AsGoodAsBeingThere and The Outhouse Rag on a daily basis.  So please give AsGoodAsBeingThere a look and return here for some input and what I could do to make it a great site that people will want to visit before traveling.  Thanks, Bruce

The newest use for the Web? Sending messages back from the grave. Seriously.

Afterlife Telegrams -- With the help of terminally ill volunteers, our service is sending telegrams to people who have passed away.

For a donation of $5.00 per word (5 word minimum), we can have telegrams delivered to people who have passed away. This is done with the help of terminally Ill volunteers who memorize the telegrams before passing away, and then deliver the telegrams after they have passed away. We call this an "afterlife telegram". The $5.00 per word fee, depending on the wishes of the messenger, it is either given to a relative, donated to a charity or used to pay for medical bills. The company does not keep any of the fees from the sale of the telegrams.

Since we can not guarantee delivery nor prove that a message has been delivered successfully, our customers do not pay for "deliveries". They pay for "delivery attempts". What we do guarantee is the following:
1) The messengers have memorized their telegrams before passing on.
2) The messengers have promised to do what can be done to deliver their telegrams to the addressees after passing.

As Driven’ and Cryin’ song goes, “I’m going straight to hell, just like my mama said… I’m going straight to hell”. If you would like for me to send a message to someone in hell for you, I’ll do it for $10 per word, hey I plan on buying a very nice fan. Just email with request and payment.

Do we really feel safer now?

Selkie goes to the airport

"This morning, I arrived at the airport with an hour to make my flight. I kissed my fiancee, wiped off the tears, and queued up for the TSA checkpoint with my laptop out, my shoes off and my identification in my hand. There were three people in front of me; I had plenty of time." It goes down hill from there.

Selkie's follow-up post

After reading this I ask; Has the TSA caught anyone with a bomb in the last three years? 

I do not fly as often as I use to infact I haven't flown since 9/11 but what scares me is that I am a 41 year old that has had Bilateral hip replacement surgery back when I was only 35.  What should I expect?  I'll tell you one thing I will not buy a one-way ticket and I will not be crying at the airport, because real men do not cry at airports.
