Mormon MILFs licking muffins

Got your attention, didn't I?




What says Mormon better than a MILF licking muffins?

Honestly, I'm not sure if I can continue to write about this topic without laying the innuendo on pretty thick. Not that I haven't already, right?

Regardless, this has upset the church officials (I'm not sure why...). Chad Hardy, CEO of the company who prints these lovely calendars, was excommunicated from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and was refused his degree from Brigham Young University.

General Motors seeks 1 for 100 reverse stock split

GM (1.60 at time of entry) is seeking a reverse stock split of 1 for 100. You may well know by now that GM hasn't been doing too well if you've paid any attention to the media. If you are unfamiliar with stock splits (or reverse stock splits) what this means is that for every 100 shares that you own you will now own 1 (example: you own 1000 shares before the reverse split. You will own 10 after the split).

What this will try to do is make the company appear to be stronger than it really is by boosting the stock price from 1.60 to $160 per share (1.60X100). I can see why they would want to increase the price per share, but who would want to pay $160 per share for a company that just filed for bankruptcy?

Kiefer will face third-degree assault charges from his headbutt of a fashion designer. He is also still on probation for driving while intoxicated.

For those of you who watch American Idol

If you've watched American Idol long enough to listen to Paula Abdul speak, her apparent "craziness" is due to a very potent painkiller. Abdul has reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome and is on a drug that is 80 times more potent than morphene.

Starting up again

Some of you may know that I have tried a workout program a number of times over the past two years and have not made it all the way through. I am giving it another attempt and feel good about it so far.

The program is p90x (www.p90x.com) and is one of the few workout programs you will find yourself watching longer than you wanted to. There was something about the program that drew me to purchase the DVDs and get started on the workouts. Granted, I haven't completed the program in the 2+ years that I've owned it, but I can undoubtedly see the results over just a few weeks of exercising.

If you've ever found yourself watching the informercial and thought about buying it, I would say it is worth the purchase if you can commit yourself to doing 90 days of intense exercise.
