I know a lot of you aren't living in the U.S., but...

So is it a pet kind of thing? You take your dog there to have the picture taken with Santa? There's a Petsmart right around the corner from me, I might have to get me some of that.

Who would win the fight?

I forgot about that. Superman used to fly around the earth a couple of times and arrive before he left. Neat trick.

Lol... I have done those horrendous drives, too, as a younger person. So gad that now I have kids as an excuse to break up trips and give them (and me) leg stretching time!

Did you like Denver? How long did you stay?

We didn't really use Denver as our destination, we were just going to Colorado to hunt elk. Denver was the last major city we went through so I used it as the destination. We were in and around a town called Gunnison I guess. I know I have a shirt that says Gunnison so we must have been there. We stayed two weeks and had a blast.. wow things are so big out west compared to the east. Our mountains are 5,000 ft tall and yours are 15,000. When you see an animal it is a mile away and around here you don't see them until they are 50 yards from you. There are big bears there that will eat you too, we don't have that. I go to the Smoky Mountains and chase the little black bears around the woods. I saw a grizzly bear in Colorado and decided the mountain wasn't big enough for both of us, so I turned around.

One thousand and one, one thousand and two, one thousand and three, one thousand and four, one thousand and five.

Back in my day they actually had homes for the mentally ill. Of course they were mistreated and abandoned and it just looked bad so they closed them all. Now the mentally ill are basically living amongst us as outpatients and when one of them snaps things like Sandy Hook happen. I guess we have to choose between having warehouses full of borderline crazy people and having the occasional mass murder. Sometimes I wonder which is best...

Would you rather be intelligent and live a lifetime being poor or be not that academic and be wealthy for life?

Really compared to how most people lived 1,000 years ago or even just a couple of hundred years ago we are all rich. Not too many people don't have heat and air conditioning and food. It used to be a constant struggle just to feed yourself and keep warm.

What is intelligence?

I think there are a lot of different kinds of intelligence. Problem solving abilities, artistic abilities, communication abilities... and a lot of people that are really good at one of these things can be really bad at others. That's what gets me, are they really smart or really stupid?

Like the rain man dude from the movie. In real life Albert Einstein was one of the greatest mathematical minds ever but supposedly he had trouble tying his shoes and had to keep a piece of paper with his address in his pocket because he would get lost and not be able to find the house he lived in and have to ask directions all the time. Going from work to his house...

And I've noticed a lot of really creative people aren't exactly good mathematicians. Eddie Van Halen is one of the best guitar players/musicians I've ever listened to and he can hardly put a sentence together. The Beatles were probably the most incredible songwriters of all time and all of them got horrible grades and dropped out of school.

Intelligence is very hard to describe and even harder to measure.

I hardly ever post anything on facebook and when I do, hardly anybody replies.

Me too. I think the problem is that we don't have enough friends. I've noticed there are people with over 1,000 friends on facebook. I don't even think I know 1,000 different people's names...

What you have to do is send a friend request to everyone you went to high school with whether you ever actually talked to them or not. Then send one to their brother and sisters, everyone you've ever worked with and their brothers and sisters and parents too. Why not?

Then you just kind of start out with random people. Peruse the web and start looking for young girls with sexually suggestive profile pictures. I kind of feel like you can't really lose friending girls like that.. well you know unless you have a significant other who is the jealous type. Yeah that has to be it. Be the most popular chihuahua in a bear suit on the web!

That was so long ago! Do you happen to know the date of it? I can't even remember now when I drew that!

At least 10 years ago I guess. I don't know. Actually Yeti showed me where it was on photobucket... your photobucket lol.

hows everyone in the UK finding the snow?

You're only driving from Memphis to Nashville in one day? That's not far about 200 miles maybe 4 hours. Of course you have to stop at Graceland and say hi to Elvis and then stop at the country music capitol of the world. Nobody just drives through Nashville.

Me and some friends drove to Denver, Colorado in less than two days once. about 20 hours only stopping to use the bathroom and hit a fast food joint. We were a lot younger...
