Some trucks have been sporting “bulls balls” hanging on their hitch. These uncannily realistic decorations have several manufactures and come in several different colors, patterns and sizes. The original creator, John Saller, says his company (bullsballs.com) has done really well. People are intrigued in his products because they are funny. Some people do find them obscene. Even legislators have made attempts to ban animal genitalia displayed on vehicles. Saller doesn’t mind though, because every attempt to rid his products is advertisement and his sales increase.

I have noticed that people judge towns based on “famous” people who were born/raised there. Now that Urbana welcome sign says, “Home Town of Miss America 2003,” the town has a much better first impression.

I met God at Pekara. She was an African-American lesbian feminist. This is what she said:
. . . People fear death. Because of this fear they lead selfish lives that ultimately lead to unpleasantness. If people didn’t fear death, they would try to help others out more, and this attitude would be more life fulfilling. That is also why they think they believe Jesus was resurrected, because they don’t want to believe in ultimate death.
I can’t tell you whom I would vote for in the Election.
I don’t believe everything written in the Bible, but some of it is nice.
