When Hell Freezes Over…

October 3rd, 2008

Drunker than skunks, Ole and Sven die in a snowmobiling accident and go to Hell.

The Devil observes that they are really enjoying themselves.

He says to them, ‘Doesn’t the heat and smoke bother you?

Ole replies, ‘Vell, ya know, ve’re from nordern Minnesooota, da land of snow an ice, an ve’re yust happy fer a chance ta varm up a little bit, ya know.’  


The devil decides that these two aren’t miserable enough and turns up the heat even more.

When he returns to the room of the two guys from Minnesota , the devil finds them in light jackets and hats, grilling Walleye and drinking beer.

The devil is astonished and exclaims, ‘Everyone down here is in abject misery, and you two seem to be enjoying yourselves?’

Sven replies, ‘Vell, ya know, ve don’t git too much varm veather up dere at da Falls, so ve’ve yust got ta haff a fish fry vhen da veather’s dis nice .’

The devil is absolutely furious. He can hardly see straight.

Finally he comes up with the answer. The two guys love the heat because they have been cold all their lives.

The devil decides to turn all the heat off in Hell.  The next morning, the temperature is 60 below zero, icicles are hanging everywhere, and people are shivering so bad that they are unable to wail, moan or gnash their teeth.

The devil smiles and heads for the room with Ole and Sven.  He gets there and finds them back in their parkas, bomber hats, and mittens.  They are jumping up and down, cheering, yelling and screaming like mad men.

The devil is dumbfounded, ‘I don’t understand, when I turn up the heat you’re happy.  Now its freezing cold and you’re still happy.  What is wrong with you two?’

They both look at the devil in s urprise and say, ‘Vell, don’t ya know, if hell iss froze over, dat must mean da Vikings von da Super Bowl.’

Women are Evil by Nature!

September 28th, 2008

A woman went up to the bar in a quiet rural pub.  She gestured alluringly to the bartender who approached her immediately.  She seductively signaled that he should bring his face closer to hers.  As he did, she gently caressed his full beard.

‘Are you the manager?’ she asked, softly stroking his face with both hands.

 ’Actually, no,’ he replied.

 ’Can you get him for me? I need to speak to him,’ she said, running her hands beyond his beard and into his hair.

‘I’m afraid I can’t,’ breathed the bartender. ‘Is there anything I can do?’

‘Yes. I need you to give him a message,’ she continued, running her forefinger across the bartender’s lip and slyly popping a couple of her fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently.

‘What should I tell him?’ the bartender managed to say.

‘Tell him,’ she whispered, ‘There’s no toilet paper, hand soap, or paper towels in the ladies room.

No Regrets…

August 6th, 2008

I’m not easily impressed, but anybody who can help someone lose 100 pounds in six months is one impressive result I’ll take my hat off to.

Would you agree that it’s one heck of an achievement if you could defeat your horrible genes, overcome a lack of motivation, and conquer a spirit that is ready to give up because everything you’ve tried to lose that stubborn belly fat has failed?

That’s why I wanted to remind you that tomorrow night at midnight, Vince DelMonte’s brand new ab shredding and fat loss program, Your Six Pack Quest,  DOUBLES in price!

You probably already know the variety of options you have in getting a six pack:

1) You can hire a trainer for $50-100 an hour. At 2-3 sessions a week for six months, you’re looking at a six month bill of up to $7,200.

2) You can buy your own home gym which will run you $1500 easily but it’s probably cheaper to just buy a gym membership for $500-700 a year and rely on the free training session the gym will provide.3) You can buy a years worth of fitness magazines which could run you $100-200 easily but you’ll have to sort out all the contradicting information.

4) You could buy more supplements that will definitely help your health but definitely not transform your body from a 2 pack to a 6 pack.

I guess, how much you would pay to change the way you look and the way you feel will depend on how badly you want to make your friends jealous and have those feelings of empowerment that six pack abs can provide.

Think about how you’ll feel when you look in that mirror, lift up that shirt and see your 6-pack rippling. No lighting tricks … just your abdominals looking just like a professional models’.

Oh yeah, there is no pressure to order right now but I would hate for you to be at a pool party where you would like to wear a tiny swimsuit or impress the girls around you who are wearing tiny swimsuits, but you’re hesitant to take your shirt off because of your pot belly or flabby stomach.

That would be very frustrating and annoying - especially when you think back to this letter and wish you had started using  Vince’s fat searing program.

Instead of getting compliments on your “improved” physique you’ll be kicking yourself for being further from your 6 pack instead of closer to your 6 pack…

Make some jaws drop and get started on Your Six Pack Quest!

Begin Your Six Pack Quest for 8 weeks.  If you aren’t thrilled with your flatter stomach, increased confidence, and improved health from my Ab Shredding system, just let Vince know and you’ll get your money back.  You only have until 11:59pm on Thursday night to get the “launch price” and then the price DOUBLES for good! 

It has already helped Peter lose 100 pounds in six months so there is no reason you will not achieve the same results!

Don’t live with the regret of missing out on this opportunity to begin Your Six Pack Quest!

Dear John, - Humor in the Face of Defeat!

August 5th, 2008

A Marine was deployed to Afghanistan .  While he was there he received a letter from his girlfriend.  In the letter she explained that she had slept with two guys while he had been gone and wanted to break up with him; plus, she wanted the pictures of herself back.

So the Marine did what any squared-away Marine would do.  He went around to his buddies and collected all the unwanted photos of women he could find.  He then mailed about 25 pictures of women (with and without clothes) to his girlfriend with the following note:

“I don’t remember which one you are.  Please remove your picture and send the rest back.”

On a Six-Pack Quest?

August 4th, 2008

About 6 months ago, I was talking to a National Fitness Model Champion and famous trainer in the industry who told me about this random guy on the Internet, named Peter Carvell, who was building a website and solicited the help of my fitness model friend.

My buddy figured he was just another “tire kicker” looking for free advice and said, “Sure, I can help you get a six pack…”, but never really took him seriously.

My buddy offered Peter all of his ab and fat loss advice freely and this went on for a few months… I know my fitness model friend never took Peter very seriously because so many people write to us saying, “I want a six pack…” but do nothing about it.

If I remember correctly, my buddy said Peter’s chances of getting a six pack were just as good as Tony Soprano becoming a priest:

1) Peter had 100 pounds to lose.

2) Peter had horrible genetics.

3) Peter had serious motivation issues.

4) Peter had tried every diet and fat burner with minor
results.

5) Peter had a very busy and demanding career.

6) Peter messed with a variety of trainers and programs with
no success.

7) Peter was used to only making short term commitments.

8) Peter had little knowledge of how to spend his time in
the gym.

9) Peter was a “cardio” junkie and was determined to lose
all his fat by just biking.

10) Peter LOVES to eat, eat, eat!

Yesterday I received an email from my fitness model friend, Vince DelMonte whom I respect a lot and said, “Do you remember that guy who asked me to help him get a six pack? Man, you got to see these before and after pictures, it’s a transformation so amazing you’ll have to see it to believe it.”

Don’t believe me, check out the VIDEO transformation yourself !

This website shows how Vince DelMonte took a regular guy, cursed with horrible genes and magically transforms his 276 pounds of stubborn, ugly, belly fat into a stunning, sexy, rock-hard body, with eye-popping six pack abs… all in 24 weeks!

Today, Vince launched his brand new “Ab Shredding System” to help you melt off the last 10 pounds to the first 100 pounds.

If you want a complete road map on getting a strong and defined midsection designed from a national fitness model champion, then you need to check out  6 Pack Quest.

Visit Vince’s website to see everything described in more detail, but here’s what the system includes
in a nutshell:

* Your Six Pack Quest e-book (literally EVERYTHING you
need to know about getting six pack abs)

* Ten 84 Day “Hard Loser” Meal Plans

* 3 Day Metabolic Boost Training DVD and Program

* 4 Day Metabolic Extreme Training DVD and Program

* 5 Day Metabolic Overdrive Training DVD and Program

* Ab-Domination Bodyweight Conditioning DVD Program

* Razor Sharp Cardio Abdominal DVD Workouts & Program

* No Nonsense 6 Pack Fat Loss Virtual Trainer

* The Fat Loss Supplement Files

* 24-7 Six Pack Email Coach

* Your Six Pack Quest Audio Program (entire book
in MP3 format)

* 84 Day CHEAP Hard Loser Meal Plans

* 84 Day VEGGIE Hard Loser Meal Plans

* 16 Week Home Gym DVD & Program

* 16 Week Women’s Only DVD & Program

* Meals on the Go Smoothies Recipe Book

* How To Get Camera Ready In 7 Days Audio

I actually burst out laughing when I saw the price of this program which is NOT a misprint and I can honestly say this is, by far, the best opportunity and resource I can offer you to get the trophy of all trophies - 6 pack abs!

The actual program is based on some very “old school” and clever techniques that I’ve never seen on any other website or magazine.

I’m positive that if he can help Peter lose 100 pounds in six months then there is no reason you will not be able to achieve the same results!

If you’re happy with how you look and feel right now, please feel no pressure at all to use Vince’s “6 pack in 6 months” program.

Instead, start your day off with some new knowledge, he shares freely on the site, to blast away 5 dirty fat loss lies:

1) The body of your dreams is locked inside this “pill.”

2) Lots of cardio is the key to your success.

3) Not everyone can have a six pack… it’s all your genetics.

4) Follow this diet for a flat stomach.

5) Follow this ab workout for eye popping results.

Click here to start your six pack quest and discover the truth on these dirty little lies!

Vince is offering a half priced discount until Thursday August 7th at midnight…

Hurry, because in 84 hours at midnight he’s DOUBLING the price of this program that promises to get rid of your big belly, love handles and stubborn fat and will make you “that guy” or “that gal” who turns heads at the gym, on the streets and at the beach.

What does it take to go fishing?

August 1st, 2008

Four married guys go fishing.  After about an hour the following conversation takes place:

The first fisherman exclaims, “You have no idea what I had to do to go fishing this weekend.  I had to promise my wife that I would paint every room in the house next weekend!”

The second fisherman says, “That’s nothing!  I had to promise my wife that I would build a new deck for the swimming pool!”

The third fisherman replies, “Man, you guys both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I would remodel the kitchen for her!”

They continue to fish for a while until they realized the fourth fisherman had not said a word.  So they ask him, “What’s the deal?  You haven’t said a word about what you had to do to go fishing!”

The fourth fisherman answers, “Well, I set my alarm for 5:00 am.  When the alarm went off I gave the wife a nudge and said, ‘Fishing or Sex?‘ and she replied, ‘Wear a sweater!‘”

What’s in You?

July 30th, 2008

Five surgeons were discussing the types of people they like to operate on.

The first surgeon says, “I like to see accountants on my operating table  because when I open them up, everything inside is numbered. ”

The second responds, “Yeah, but you should try electricians!  Everything inside them is color-coded.”

The third surgeon says, “No, I really think librarians are the  best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order. ”

The fourth surgeon chimes in with, “You know, I like construction workers.  Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over. ”

But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed, “You’re all wrong!  Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There are no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine.  Plus, the head and the ass are interchangeable.”

A Little Bit of Home in a Foreign Land

July 27th, 2008

This Army soldier in Iraq, with his tiny ‘plot’ of grass in front of his tent, is heart-warming! Here is a soldier stationed in Iraq, in the big sand box. He asked his wife to send him dirt (U.S.soil), fertilizer, and some grass seed so that he can have the sweet aroma, and feel the grass grow beneath his feet. When the men of the squadron have a mission that they are going on, they take turns walking through the grass and the American soil — to bring them good luck.

If you notice, he is even cutting the grass with a pair of a scissors. Sometimes we are in such a hurry that we don’t stop and think about the little things that we take for granted.

As you go to your picnics and parties this summer, slip your shoes off, walk in grass, and think about the soldiers that protect your liberty.   They are friends, family, brothers, sisters, moms and dads!

Support Our Troops!
Thank You!!

Truck Fishin’…?

July 26th, 2008

Water, Water, Everywhere, But Not a Drop to Drink…However, There are Plenty of Carp to Spear!

First off, our hearts and prayers go out to the victims of the recent flooding.

We did find some time to do a little fishing and get some early bow-hunting practice. With a valid fishing license, a lifted truck, waders, a fishing spear, and a bow-fishing rig, we spent the afternoon prowling some of the flooded back-roads.

Standing on the truck and using polarized sunglasses gave us a nice advantage when trying to pick them out of the murky water. A good spot to look for them is a wood-line along the side of the road, next to a big ditch. With a grassy yard bordering one side, we found hundreds of fish feeding on the thousands of dead worms that had drowned and were laying on the bottom. There was a nice gravel road that led to some out-buildings that we were able to park on.

We asked the owner of the property if we could fish in her ‘backyard’. Be sure to ask for permission when you find your hot-spot if venturing off the road and onto someone’s property.

Remember to ‘aim low’ due to the refraction of light in the water and add a little extra if you have some height do to the angle. We used a 15 foot spear that collapsed down to 8 feet. The extra length is nice when up in the air. If you don’t use a vehicle, one trick we’ve done is to use a 10 foot step ladder. We’ve set them up in the water, a flat-bottom John boat, or on a pontoon boat deck. We used a shorter ladder on the boats, as they can get unstable.

Be careful! Never underestimate the power of the water! Especially when wading! Swift currents can easily sweep you off of your feet and waders can fill up fast! There is a lot of trash in the water and there can be deep holes. Don’t venture into unknown areas! I prefer to use the spear (collapsed to 8 foot) when wading so I can probe in front of me as I walk. Find someone experienced to go with and never go alone into remote areas.

Rough fish such as carp kill game fish by eating their eggs. They will be all over the place rotting away when the water recedes. They make great fertilizer for the garden and they don’t taste ‘too bad’ when smoked.

White Bread or Whole Wheat?

July 24th, 2008

SO, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

The two biggest differences between white bread and whole wheat are the processing and the nutritional value. Flour is made from wheat berries. The wheat berry is made up of the bran, the germ and the endosperm. All parts are filled with nutrients and are used in whole wheat flour.

White bread on the other hand, uses only the endosperm - the starchy inner layer. There is a total of 30 nutrients missing in white bread. The nutritional difference is immense and has measurable impact on our health.

THE IMPACT OF SWITCHING

The fiber content of whole wheat bread has several health benefits.

Fiber helps the digestive system. It also creates a ‘full’ sensation and thus can help with weight control. Research has been conducted by Harvard and other organizations that shows men and women who eat high-fiber foods have less heart attacks and strokes than those who don’t.

There is also an increased risk of diabetes in children who eat refined white flour - a risk that has been proven by the increase in cases of childhood diabetes.

READ THE LABEL!!

Watch out for words like ‘wheat flour’ or ‘enriched wheat flour’ as they can be mostly made from white flour with just a small amount of whole wheat added in.

Look for ‘whole wheat’ or other whole grains, like oat. And don’t be mislead by the name of the product. Names like wheat, whole bran, stoned wheat, 12 grain and others are still mostly white flour. The only way to know for sure is to read the label.

Any Questions?

Which is Better for You, Coffee or Tea?

July 24th, 2008

Most people cannot function without either their morning cup of coffee or tea. While, it’s mostly the caffeine that gets people going, a side benefit from drinking these beverages is that you may be boosting your immune system and helping to fight disease.

While the health benefits of drinking green tea have been much publicized, few people realize that drinking coffee can have health benefits as well but recent studies show that coffee may share some of the healthy attributes that green tea has shown.

Like green tea, coffee has antioxidants including quinines, chlorogenic acid and tocopherols as well as essential minerals such as magnesium. All of which help in glucose metabolism and result in those who regularly drink coffee having a reduced risk of diabetes. Both coffee and green tea have been shown to contain compounds which have antibacterial properties that can help prevent tooth decay and may help to fight food poisoning.

Green tea has been shown to have a role in the prevention of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cataracts, and to help boost your immune system. In addition, green tea may also help you lose weight and is said to help lower blood sugar and cholesterol as well as slow the aging process.

Coffee is said to contain compounds that boost the activity of enzymes which may protect against colon cancer (according to animal studies published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry). Other health benefits of coffee include a reduced risk of developing Parkinsons Disease, help in relieving asthma symptoms, stopping tension headaches, and inhibiting the formation of gallstones.

When it comes to the question of how much coffee or tea you need to benefit the answers can be a bit confusing. While most everyone agrees that the caffeinated should only be taken in small amounts (no more than 3 cups of coffee a day) to avoid the addictive qualities of the caffeine, it’s a bit more vague on how much tea is recommended. Some say 10 cups a day, others say you can experience the benefits with 3 cups a day.

Health Tips - Hydrogen Peroxide

July 14th, 2008

Some benefits of using that plain little ol’ bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store.

1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (Easy to do in the shower.) No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash.

2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep them free of germs.

3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters.

4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.

5. Remove fungus from your feet - spray a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.

6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day.  Gangrene that would not heal with any medicine, was healed by soaking in peroxide.

7. Put two capfuls into a douche once or twice a week to prevent chronic yeast infections . 

8. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach or most other disinfectants will.

9. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into a tissue.

10. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.

11. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages, but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, faddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually so it’s not a drastic change.

12. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils, fungus, or other skin infections.

13. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.

14. Use peroxide to clean your mirrors, there is no smearing, which is why I love it so much for this.

Hydrogen Peroxide is described as an effective anti-viral, antibacterial, and anti-fungal, and can be used for anthrax decontamination. This sort of supports the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide, don’t you think?Also: your body makes hydrogen peroxide to fight infection which must be present for our immune system to function correctly. White blood cells are known as Leukocytes. A sub-class of Leukocytes called Neutrophils produce hydrogen peroxide as the first line of defense against toxins, parasites, bacteria, viruses and yeast.Simply put, it is the oxygenation of the body. Sickness and tumors are generally oxygen-hating growths which thrive in oxygen-poor bodies.15. Gargle with hydrogen peroxide, put drops in the ear and nose to end colds, flu, chronic sinusitis (including polyps), and infections.

16. Use as a vegetable wash or soak to kill bacteria and neutralize chemicals.

17. Disinfect your dishwasher or refrigerator.

18. Use it on trees and plants as a natural fungicide, insecticide, and as a weed killer.

19. Clean with hydrogen peroxide when your house becomes a biohazard after its invaded by toxic mold, such as those with water damage.

Throughout the world hydrogen peroxide is used instead of chlorine as a safer and eco-friendly municipal water purifier. Some use H2O2 in pools and spas.  Dr. Edward C. Rosenow, author of 450 published medical papers and associate at the Mayo Clinic for over 60 years . . . proved [more than] 70 years ago (1914) that bacteria could be found consistently in the lymph nodes that drain joints (J.A.M.A., April 11, 1914).  He was probably the first scientist to postulate that H2O2 would help arthritis because of its ability to supply oxygen to oxygen-hating organisms causing arthritis (Streptococcus viridans).

————————

 I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be without!  With prices of most necessities rising, I’m glad there’s away to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner!

Heatstroke

July 11th, 2008

Injury to internal organs is caused by an excessively high body temperature and this serious and potentially deadly illness that can usually be prevented. Even so, Heat Strokes still happen all too frequently.

Athletes are particularly vulnerable to heat stroke — athletes who wear body-covering uniforms and practice in the hottest temperatures — but it can affect anyone.

Heat stroke can occur when you are in an extremely hot environment for a long period of time. It also happens when people overexert themselves on very hot days.

You should be alert to heat stroke on days when the relative humidity is at least 70 percent and temperatures are 95 degrees Fahrenheit and higher.  Other heat-related afflictions that may be a sign of looming heat stroke include heat cramps and heat exhaustion, which is characterized by pale, moist skin; headache; dizziness; nausea; increased heart rate; low blood pressure; elevated temperature and profuse sweating.

The symptoms of heat stroke are more severe than those of heat exhaustion and may include:
• Initial profuse sweating.
• Hot, dry red skin.
• High fever.
• Vomiting.
• Confusion.
• Seizures during cooling.
• Unconsciousness.
• Sometimes lack of sweating, though athletes may perspire.
• High body temperature (often 105 degrees or higher).

Anyone experiencing these symptoms should immediately seek emergency medical help.

Some steps you can take to keep cool despite hot temperatures include:
• Avoid overexertion.
• Drink a quart of fluids an hour.
• Wear loose, light-colored clothing made of light fabrics.
• Wear a hat and sunblock.
• Stay in the shade or indoors when possible.
• Open windows and use fans and/or air conditioning; if you don’t have air conditioning, go to a public place that does (such as a mall, library or movie theater).
• Avoid dehydrating beverages such as caffeine and alcohol.

What are your vacation plans?

June 12th, 2008

 Billy Bob and Luther were talking one afternoon when Billy Bob tells Luther,”Ya know, I reckon I’m ’bout ready for a vacation.  Only this year I’m gonna do it a little different.  The last few years, I took your advice about where to go.  Three years ago you said to go to Hawaii. I went to Hawaii and Earlene got pregnant.  Then two years ago, you told me to go to the Bahamas, and Earlene got pregnant again.  Last year you suggested Tahiti and darned if Earlene didn’t get pregnant again.”

Luther asks Billy Bob, “So, what you gonna do this year that’s different?”

Billy Bob replies, “This year I’m taking Earlene with me.
