I've been playing around on the random story page and stumbled across frank_little, he only has 7/8 stories posted, and they are nothing more than snippets, but they are very entertaining reads. Would be nice to see him post up more.

Hey all you film buffs out there, and I know there are quite a few on this site. I'm trying to recall a Film with James Woods as a sleezy (James Woods playing sleezy? Never!) boxing promoter who trains a black forty year old ex-boxer back into shape, to put him in the ring as a - um - 'ringer' to win a huge bet. It's about 15 or 20 years old. My girl friend and I couldn't get into the film we wanted to see and had to opt for this one.

I recommend the book Shiloh (not the one about the dog) by Dusty Rhodes.

This woman is so out front, brave and honest. It takes the breath away.

Football season again, although I'm not too sure that all of our eloquent footie fans will be able to understand Mr Goss's big words!

Radio posted this question on another forum ( http://www.abctales.com/forum/2005/08/17/whos_the_boss )
and I thought it was important enough to post here.
If you could choose a country to be 'boss' of the world, in place of America, who would it be?
Hard question that certainly makes you think... better the devil that you know?

Where I work, we've had a rash of self inflicted injuries lately. Every time an accident occurs, I have to fill out about 10 pages of paperwork, do an investigation and make official pronouncements about how to move forward. I've formulated the following universal safety rules (not OSHA approved). Feel free to use them in your own workplace.
