I know these aren't bikini pics, but here's a lady who's going to burst onto the scene: Heather Nevenner, soon to be Mrs. Dan Dickau (Gonzaga U. All-American point guard). Enjoy!

Hopefully, my son and I will be sitting close enough to the Gonzaga section on Thursday!

Waukesha? What, do they think they are Madistan?

Good thing that she's not in Pennsylvania.....She'd be on a crusade to rename the towns of Intercourse and Blue Ball.....

Hey, I grew up in Lancaster. Favorite local saying:
The best way to get to Paradise is through Intercourse.

The Guinness books have not run into trouble in schools before, said Cawthra Burns, vice president of marketing and communications at Gullane Entertainment, which publishes Guinness World Records

What I think happened is that the school probably had a yearly update of GWR, and didn't see the change that started with the '98 version. Before 1998, the Guiness Book was bland looking, but with more facts than the current version. There was about twice as much material in the older version than the newer versions, and the older version was more of a reference book than the present versions. Basically, it was nothing more than a very popular reference book at the time without the glitzy pictures.

I guess that the marketers of the Guiness Book wanted to sell to the hip, Generation X crowd, so they put in more ridiculous entries, left out the more intellectually based facts, and plastered the book with photos of Madonna, J-Lo, and whatever the hot item of the year is. Personally, I don't like the new versions -- it looks just like a glorified version of the Enquirer or Star magazine, not the good old reference book that it used to be. I've been reading the book since '68 as a young lad in London -- couldn't put it down then, and it wasn't because of the pictures (because there were hardly any).

OK, but where does Blue Ball fit in?

that's for when you can't get there from here

[KC_Conspirator]

Want to bet this wacko teacher has "Heather has 2 Mommies" in her library?

[AmishDude]

You grew up in Lancaster? Welcome. Your friend,

[AmishDude]

Bird-in-Hand

[mamelukesabre]

You can't really be amish, can you? Aren't amish forbidden to use or own anything invented after the steam engine?(or something like that)

[brewcrew]

women clad in what is described as the world's most valuable bikini

Or the world's strongest bikini....

Adolescent boys looking at girls in a skimpy bikini? What is happening to this country? Why, when I was a boy, we didn't even have skimpy bikinis. We had to walk seven miles to school. Both ways. Uphill there and back. Without shoes. In winter. When the snow was deep. Think we had time to look at girls in skimpy costumes? Why, we didn't even have time. Time didn't get here to Abilene until long after I was grown. Kids nowadays are lucky. When I was a boy we only had bad luck. Bad luck and worse luck. Just the two kinds.

[deadrock]

I thought pork fat ruled.

[Whilom]

Okay, now, this is getting serious. Where'd you get that picture of my wife?

[AmishDude]

I have my children running on hamster wheels just so I can have enough power to be online.

[mamelukesabre]

What movie is that from? I know I've heard some of that before in a movie.

[mamelukesabre]

There's just one problem with that story, amishdude. The computer itself wasn't invented untill way after the steam engine. And the internet after that.

[shaggy eel]

,,, great, a Victorian era slant on education. Fits well with female chauvinists and the feminist agenda.

[AmishDude]

Actually, I'd heard that the limit was anything since "the time of Christ". Amish are not permitted to use bicycles or anything with those chains. But this is at my business and I'm at my business where my partner is English. Ja, that's the ticket.

Or the world's strongest bikini....

Or, the world's strongest stool

There are some images, no matter how hard I try, that I'll never be able to purge from my mind. Thanks for adding to an already sick collection.
