I am using this list to send out an email whenever I have updated this page. It is a moderated list, so you will not receive junk mail from me. And the provider, Coollist says they do not ever distribute/sell names either. I have no reason to doubt them, and you can check out their site to read their policies (or hell, start your own list!)

Boat Security Part II

As I mentioned in the last issue of the Big Dump Truck, a homeowner on our commute to Waltham was using his/her mailbox as a sort of anchor for a boat they had in their driveway. I just wanted to update the faithful readers of The Big Dump Truck to some recent events. The boat is gone. This leads me to believe one of two things happened. Either

someone stole the boat, or
the boat owner is a faithful fan of the Big Dump Truck and saw how silly it was to attach the rope to the mailbox.

In either case, I'm kind of sorry to see the mailbox standing there, alone, cold, with no boat attached. And now I can't even take a picture of it.

Olestra

I have never eaten Olestra, nor do I plan to. It doesn't fit into my "dietary plan" at this time. Well, if it didn't have any nasty side effects, I probably would fit it in on a daily basis - who am I trying to kid?

On the other hand, someone over at my current favorite ezine, Zug (that's the zine, not the "someone") wrote an article called Ole Olestra about how he tested some products made with Olestra to find out about those side effects. If nothing else, you should visit because they have their own theme song.

Frightening News of the Week

Apparently, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Jackson are expecting #2 in December. I cannot comment any further on this story. We'll let the tabloids pick it up from here.

Lord of the Dance Update

The thing we learned about Michael this week: biographical information about him now states that he is a concert flautist! This information goes nicely with the golden gloves boxer information!

I don't have much else to say about Michael this week, but boy, others do! Here are a few links for you to follow.

Michael Flatley - The Lord of the Dance - Unofficial Site Front Page - this one has over 43,000 hits!

The Official LotD site - Check out this quote from their biography page! "What ever spark was ignited in Michael Flatley at conception or birth has grown into a mighty and many tongued fire."

Article on Michael from the Syndey Morning Herald Daily News - A must-see for the picture of Michael's calves and feet.
