very cute avatar there, ringo! What's your dog's name?

Her name was Gidget. I had to put her down. Second back injury. I was not going to put her through another surgery and recovery. It was hard on both of us the first time. I have two others, Clarence and Calvin.

Those YouTube Guys

Imagine a couple of knowledgable computer geeks, formerly employed by EBAY's PayPal, starting up an Internet site in their garage and then selling that business about a year and a half later for $1.65 BILLION! If they were to make a video on the day of the sale and put it on YouTube, what do you imagine it would look like? Well, it would look exactly like this.

I can tell the suspense is getting to everyone so here's the answers.

1. IIC (Doug) ran the 400 yd dash well under 50 seconds in high school. Jim Cramer ran it in around 49.9

2. Leave it to Beaver was the first weekly tv show to reveal a toilet in 1957. Herman Munster and his wife Lily were the first to be shown in bed together in 1964.

Herman Munster and his wife Lily were the first to be shown in bed together in 1964.

Really? I never would have guessed. I'm going to avoid the temptation to make any jokes involving doing the Monster Mash.

That's right Doug it was the 440. Anytime meters or is it metres get involved it messes me up.

Doug,
He's 51 or 52 but claims to be 62 appearing younger due to a healthy lifestyle and useage of products from companies he promotes.
