Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games... Whoever doesn’t relish that riff on a Saturday afternoon is just bored!
The Quarry is back in session after an extended hiatus. Had some more lucrative endeavors that we occupying the later ego’s time and energies. As much as the Mac Stone persona is an existential slice of my soul the actual tax paying side of my duality is still required to accommodate for such mundane trivialities like food and lodging. Therefore working for cash is not optional.
Eventful several weeks. Appears that we will all be able to head down to the beach with a gas can, create a human chain and open our own refinery. All sarcasm aside, well maybe not all, we have the smartest scientists in the world working on this problem and 2 weeks later the pipe is still leaking? How hard can it be to put a lid on it? Not that we have a competent resolution to offer. These scenarios provide a large stash of rocks to throw and that’s why were here. If any talented physicists read this (highly unlikely) please call BP and help them out. Thanks.
Merry old England cannot bury their embarrassments easily. Sarah Ferguson. Yes, remember the hard partying redhead who made a joke of her Duchesshood (new word!) always wanted to create one... Anyway, she is under investigation for selling access to her former husband the Prince to an undercover newsman. Resorting to this scam to generate income would be a profitable adventure on our side of the Atlantic but over there they must be weeping in their tea about what to do with her. Send her our way; we love our wild and crazy redheads.
Excited in Beantown, Pierce ran his mouth, now it appears the mighty green will back it up. Confessions being good for the soul and all, mine is after the last 20 games of the regular season my bet was on the C’s losing in 2nd round. Not a good year for my picks.
Except for the Rays of course, 5 games up on Yankees- loving every minute of that.
From the It Is About Time file-- Floyd Landis confesses to using PED’s.. Wow, such revelatory disclosures. Taking the team with him over the cliff would have been expected; just amazed it took him so long.
Congrats Jordan Romero 6 of 7 highest peaks- One to go... 13 years old. What an accomplishment... I am in awe of this goal. At 13 all I was looking for was enough money to acquire more record albums and a date for 8th grade dance.
Quick grab the camera!! Just saw Rashard Lewis’s jumpshot hiding behind a dumpster at the 7-11. Think there was some type of cape involved also.. Those homeless magicians are so entertaining.
Quiz time..
Identify the stage names by their real name quiz…
We give you birth names you identify the celeb...
All 5 correct answers will win you absolutely nothing so save your hopes in a jar for another time. But right answers will grant you an overwhelming boost in self confidence. The best byproduct of vacuous trivia knowledge as far as we can tell..So think hard, no cheating.

If you guess them all send me a note..
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! Hug your kids today because tomorrow they will tell you that’s for babies! Then wait till you’re in front of all their friends and plant one on their cheek just to watch them blush.. They deserve that for not picking up their rooms.

When will Friday be here?
Since throwing stones in the quarry is the activity we like best it is imperative to take one for the team on this day. Our fearless bi-racial leader, whom has often been vilified in the quarry, has executed an above average strategy. As often as his decisions have been questioned we must in return commend the decision to reallocate 30 billion of the relief funds, which had been targeted for large businesses, to the small business sector. This maneuver from a tactical standpoint will serve him well in the polls but, more importantly, will do more to generate economic recovery than anything else we have seen in the past 16 months. The frozen credit markets for small business is the culprit in the longevity of the malaise we all feel. Never think that the quarry is a biased or callused arena. Simply call them like we see them. Equal opportunity bombast. On this day kudos are due Mr. O.
My Mea Culpa IS in the rear view mirror now so let’s move on to some interesting news.
Lawrence Taylor- Not only is he an idiot, which was semi obvious to anyone who follows sports, now it appears he is a felon as well. Sad story. This topic typically would not be quarry worthy, other than the legal wrangling, which is proving to be quite entertaining. Even though LT confessed post arrest his lawyer is now claiming he doesn’t even know who the girl is? We shall see how this scenario plays out. Not sure he has Big Ben’s money to make this go away. With a minor involved this may get ugly.
Bret is out of the hospital—Glad to here your up and about, let’s rev up the bus again soon!
Vanessa Carleton- Remember her? She was hit by a car while jogging. A rather dangerous way to make the rags. Better off just over indulging on Slimfast or sleeping with Jesse James. Do you think this errant motor vehicle operator has been stalking her since 2002 and has “A Thousand Miles” stuck in his head so bad he felt a societal obligation to end our consternation? Not being enamored with the song is one thing, but this was extreme.
SATIRE ALERT
Lord Jesus Christ- 50 year old Belchertown MA man was struck by car on Thursday. Not sure why that is funny, it just is. Maybe because adopting that name inspires such a diverse breadth of emotions in each of us. Or, maybe, because irony, even in a sometimes twisted way, is always funny. You have to figure Karma played a role in this somehow.
SATIRE ABORTED
Last observance this week- University students in Europe, as part of a world-wide competition, have created a vehicle that achieved 11000 MPG. Yes you read that accurately, 11000 MPG. Of course the rules of what constitutes a vehicle, test course, procedures etc. are not applicable to our roadways today. Yet, they did place a human being in a vehicle and manage to travel that far during their simulation. Asking all the quarry patrons now, Cant we create a gas/electric hybrid that could do half the results? Say 300-500 mpg? This economic monstrosity that has caused so many wars, cost so many lives and ruins the environment must be eradicated in the next couple generations. So come on kids, create one of those cars we can utilize! Let’s give the ocean and tundra back to the animals that live there.

Top baby names for 2009
Girls- Isabella,Emma,Olivia,Sophia,Ava
Boys- Jacob,Ethan,Michael,Alexander,William
Fastest rising name—Cullen—Apparently the ubiquitous impact of “Twilight” is becoming evident.
Have a fantastic week. Tell someone you haven’t spoken to in a while how much you appreciate them. Then stand back and chuckle at the look on their face. Keep laughing. Life is far too short to passively wait on miracles to find us so create one your self.

Monday, news you should know
This week’s post has a public service theme. Found several interesting topics swimming amongst the superfluous plasma we call headline news.
Since simple medical services are accessible in this country for most everyone who can walk into a clinic we have not put much thought into dehydration remedies. Thank you Bangladesh, They have invented homemade Gatorade. A quart of water, pinch of salt handful of sugar is all it takes. Next time you have bouts of “distress” with your stomach give this recipe a go. Much more healthy than pharmaceuticals and cheaper too. I know, way off the beaten path for the typical rants you experience in the Quarry but sometimes we need to change things up!
Staying on this topic. Did you notice the Yogi in India who has not eaten or drank anything for 70 years? At first glance my hyper cynical scientific evaluation was crackpot. However, the doctors who are studying this gentleman (I wont spell his name out because none of us could pronounce it anyway) have been observing for the last 7 days and the Yogi has not eaten, drank or used the bathroom during that period. How can that be? Either the testing facility is in on a well designed hoax or we are witness to a fascinating medical breakthrough. A few more days should prove evidentiary.
Now we should be back on track with some zealous diatribes aching for a voice.
Jan Brewer is a genius. For those outside the know, she is the Gov. of AZ. You remember the completely irrelevant piece of desert to the east of California. Not anymore. Ms Brewer has implemented one of the most courageous laws we have seen in many years. Immigration is rock on which this country was built but the illegal visitors have got to go. The economic ramifications are too numerous to mention, however the biggest monster in the closet we all must recognize is the impact of the healthcare bill. Mandated services for all will result in a liability our great grand kids will be unable to pay. Adding illegal aliens to the mix, who do not pay for their own coverage, will allow for an even higher debt. A quarry commendation is warranted for you Gov. Brewer for your foresight and bold stance
Only the marginally sane in Colorado could squander tax funds with a Commission for Extraterrestrial Affairs. Certainly the good people of the state will rise up and ridicule this nonsense into embarrassing oblivion. Think maybe there just might be more productive uses for this currency?
Justin Beiber- Mrs. Stone made me aware of a painful factoid this morning. Beiber fever is insidiously sadistic. His new album is #1. The catastrophic reality of our pop culture is tumor inducing. Maybe it is harmless pop music written for 14 year old girls but there isn’t anything else that can sell more copies? Suburban parents shelling out hard earned cash for this drivel is may require a 30 day detox .
As of this writing Rays 17-7- Twins 15-9- This appears to remain a race that will bear watching and of course, some quarry wagers if only for the right to crow about it!
Lakers/Cavs Final That will be Epic. Called that 2 months ago. Thunder gave my prognostications a scare but this final is destiny. Lebron will get his ring in a 7 game war for the ages.
Bret will be back, better than ever. Quarry altered advice; get back to chasing bar trash on the bus. Celeb Apprentice is too lame for the last of the hair band icons.
Steve Carrell- Michael Scott is one of the funniest characters on TV. The role is timeless and will go down in Sitcom history in the top ten. That being said, Steve is contemplating leaving the show next season. Big mistake. So many have tried and so few succeed in transferring their talent to other mediums. Stick with what you do best. Ride this horse till it drops and the cancellation vet walks in with the black bag.
Observed a panhandler the other day that was actually dropped off at the corner of a busy intersection by automobile. Left me with some curious musings His sign read four kids to feed. Wouldn’t it have been much wiser to stand close to home? Gasoline is not free. This same gentleman was also consuming a purchased caffeinated beverage from a vending machine. Isn’t water still available without cost (or very low cost) from most everywhere? Just sayin’ One day when more time and space is available a quarry based solution will be made public for this impractical behavior. Until then speculate at will on how to rid our society of freeloaders.
Only 4 days till Friday. Hang in there! Share a smile today, Pass that joke on. We can all use some levity on a Monday. Until next post be safe, happy and consistently mellow. If you cant keep cool don’t unload on anyone who signs your check.
