Have you been to a movie lately? If so, was the song "Warrior" by Kid Rock one of the previews?
First, am I the only one surprised he allowed one of his songs to be used in - much less wrote one especially FOR - a National Guard recruitment video? He just seems so anti-establishment to me. It creates an interesting dichotomy in my mind.
Anyway, Warrior is a tough-driving aggressive song. A great choice by the Guard. Heck, makes me want to sign up. And the "subliminal" messages are not subtle.
Actually reminds me a lot of the song used in the intro to The Ultimate Fighter on Spike.
Be jealous. Be very very jealous.
This guy's music is so loud through his ear phones I can hear every word from 5 feet away. Zoinks!
It is time to build in an auto-save option.
I am SO TIRED of losing posts when a technical burp happens.
FIX THIS PLEASE!!!!!

All you cat-lovers out there know about Doctors Foster & Smith, right?
Love... love... love!
Wish I had a million dollars... love!
Got their new cat-alog today (hee hee) and here are all the things I want to get for my babies.
1. Catspa
CatSpa activity center for cats
ensures sensory heaven for all kitties. Features a variety of textures
your cat can rub, massage, and groom against. From low textured
platforms to removable brush inserts, this playground even hides
catnip. Rim guard prevents catnip tracking and rubber feet prevent
slippage. Catnip (1/2 oz. bag) included. Removable parts for easy
cleaning. Measures 20" diameter, overall height 6".
2. Peek-a-Prize
Tantalize your cat's instinct to hunt! Toys peek out, but can your cat
free the prize? Stimulating and challenging, this interactive puzzle
box keeps your cat mentally active. Place toys or treats inside for
your cat to reach, bat, and scoop, and ferret out. Sturdy all-wood
construction lasts years, and box includes two assorted toys to get the
fun started. Also makes great toy storage until the game begins again.
3. Laser Light Show
This cat toy's automatic laser chaser
keeps your cat on the prowl. The laser dot, which circles, pauses, and
then circles again, cannot be caught - which keeps your cat moving. The
Ba-Da-Beam features a rotating laser that can be directed into one of
two adjustable positions - straight ahead for wall use, or downward
toward the floor.
4. Thing in a Bag
Cats think this durable,
claw-resistant bag is really alive. "Thing in a Bag" shakes randomly,
bringing out your cat's stalking instinct. When activated, inner
battery-operated shaker operates for 3 minutes before turning off
automatically. Self-fastening bag closure. Requires 3 AA batteries, not
included. 5" x 2" x 9" high.
5. Crinkle Tunnel
Crinkle tunnel mimics the paper-bag
sound cats love. Do you remember the times you brought home groceries,
and your cat darted into the first empty bag you unloaded? Likewise,
this crinkle tunnel is just the right size for cats to roll around
inside and play. Crinkle liner between the outer leopard print and
neutral inner fabrics makes the tunnel crackle with every touch. It
features two 6" peek holes, a hanging toy for batting fun, and a sturdy
spiral frame that resists collapse.

Post diameter is 6". Base measures 21" x 21". Fleece crow's nest measures 12-1/2" x 17".
