I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.

I got a chain letter by fax. It's very simple. You just fax a dollar bill to everybody on the list.

Strange Quotes About Retirement:

I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box. - Bette Davis quotes (American actress, 1908-1989)

I have never liked working. To me a job is an invasion of privacy - Danny McGoorty Irish Pool Player

Retirement at sixty-five is ridiculous. When I was sixty-five I still had pimples. - George Burns

When a man retires, his wife gets twice the husband but only half the income. - Chi Chi Rodriguez quotes (Puerto Rican golfer, b.1935)

Nothing is more usual than the sight of old people who yearn for retirement: and nothing is so rare than those who have retired and do not regret it - Charles de Saint-Evremond

Sooner or later I'm going to die, but I'm not going to retire. - Margaret Mead

There are some who start their retirement long before they stop working. - Robert Half

The question isn't at what age I want to retire, it's at what income. - George Foreman

Retirement: When you quit working just before your heart does - Anonymous

Musicians don't retire; they stop when there's no more music in them. - Louis Armstrong (American leading trumpeter, 1901-1971)

There is an enormous number of managers who have retired on the job. - Peter F. Drucker

Retirement is like a long vacation in Las Vegas. The goal is to enjoy it the fullest, but not so fully that you run out of money. - Jonathan Clements

The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender. - Vince Lombardi

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - How Smart is Your Right Foot?

Try this:

This information comes from an orthopaedic surgeon...

It will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can out-smart your foot, but you can't, can you?

1. WITHOUT anyone watching and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with you right hand.

Your foot will change direction. It's automatic - there's nothing you can do about it!

"May the tree of liberty flourish round the globe, and every human being partake of its fruits."

"May noise never excite us to battle, or confusions reduce us to defeat."

- Memorial Day Toasts & Quotes

"To her we drink, for her we pray, our voices
silent never.
For her we'll fight -- let come what may, The Stars
and Stripes forever."

"Here's to the Army and Navy, and the battles they have won. Here's to America's colors-- The colors that never run!"

"May the tree of liberty flourish round the globe, and every human being partake of its fruits."

"May noise never excite us to battle, or confusions reduce us to defeat."

"Soldiers have many faults, but they have one redeeming merit; they are never worshipers of force. Soldiers more than any other men are taught severely and systematically that might is not right. The fact is obvious. The might is in the hundred men who obey. The right (or what is held to be right) is in the one man who commands them." - Gilbert K. Chesterton

"The nation which forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten." - Calvin Coolidge

"An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep." - Arabian Proverb

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - EULOGY FOR A VETERAN


Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.


I am the Gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of
quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

B3ta email 631 - 23 MAY 2014


Read these words in a rumbling baritone:

-------------------------------------------------


: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK


 >> Sir Ian Bowler at the UKIP Carnival <<

 "Sir Ian went to the UKIP carnival today,"

 explains alter-ego Natt. "So that you didn't

 have to..."

http://b3ta.com/links/Sir_Ian_Bowler_at_the_UKIP_Carnival



 >> The Thirteen Doctors <<

 "My new thing that I made!" glees MistaRoosta,

 as all the Doctors morph into each other. Has

 the effect of showing just how off-beat Matt

 Smith's looks really are.

http://b3ta.com/links/Doctor_Who_The_Thirteen_Doctors



 >> Rubber Balls presents... Nigel Farage TV <<

 Does it seem like Nigel Farage is on television

 quite a lot these days? "This is the first

 video of a comedy enterprise founded by fellow

 b3tan Harry Webshiter and myself," writes

 jonofthesouth.

http://b3ta.com/links/Rubber_Balls_presents_Nigel_Farage_TV



 >> Arsenal's manager meets The Lion King <<

 Beautifully weak punnery by dogfood.

http://b3ta.com/links/Well_done_Arsenal_and_their_boss



-------------------------------------------------


: USVSTH3M

 We make things


 * Who should you have voted for in the EU

 elections? Well, yeah, we did this before the

 ballots closed, but still a mildly interesting

 question innit.

http://usvsth3m.com/post/86407754618/



 * Hot, drinkable cat food - A coffee company

 asked us to write some sponsored content and we

 responded by making coffee out of all the brown

 things you can buy at the local shops. It was

 not as nice as coffee.

http://usvsth3m.com/post/86208465508/hot-drinkable-catfood



 * Who's Your Celebrity Birthday Double? - Tell

 us when you were born and we'll work it out!

 Now upgraded for slightly more pleasing

 graphics. Yeah! Incremental!

http://games.usvsth3m.com/your-celebrity-birthday-double/



-------------------------------------------------


: QUESTION OF THE WEEK


 >> NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES II <<

 You told us (at considerable length) about your

 brushes with death:

http://b3ta.com/questions/neardeathexperiences2/



: Pulse-pounding sample extract:


 "The car turned. Yanked left out of the fast

 lane in a blur of screeching metal and burned

 rubber. In milliseconds the rear end had

 flipped out to the right.


 "And for one perfect moment. For one clear as

 day, intoxicatingly frightening moment, I was

 facing the wrong way down the M1. Oncoming

 traffic seemingly inches away. I swear I caught

 the eye of a gobsmacked HGV driver..."

(Albert Marshmallow)



  >> This Week: Not having sex <<

  The stench of a bag of bean sprouts popping

  open is a real passion-killer, I can tell you

  for nothing. Tell us about the shag you

  didn't have because you blew it.

http://b3ta.com/questions/notgettingsex/



-------------------------------------------------


: SITES IN BRIEF

 Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates


 >> UKIP Top Trumps <<

 What with the EU elections being this week,

 Ukip has been hard to avoid. Here's an

 illustrated guide to their... colourful lineup

 of council candidates.

http://b3ta.com/links/UKIP_Top_Trumps



 >> Crufts for tarantulas <<

 We were unaware that this was a thing - now our

 only disappointment is that there aren't more

 pictures of lovely long-legged spiders.

http://goo.gl/Ub1i79



 >> There is a cat hiding in this picture <<

 But it's at the vet's so might take a while to spot it.

http://imgur.com/gallery/MCGwrkx



 >> Beastie Boys turned in to old school comic <<

 Nice little comicbook adaptation of Beastie

 Boys video Sabotage - in memory of MCA.

http://dereklangille.blogspot.it/2012/06/for-adam.html



-------------------------------------------------


: VIDEO SCHMIDEO


 >> If David Lynch directed Return of the Jedi <<

 Minor fact-bomb: David Lynch WAS originally

 slated to direct the Star Wars sequel. Someone

 has had fun packing three-and-a-half minutes of

 Jedi with as many Lynch in-jokes as possible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PALjbTo1D5U



 >> Microscopic view of the carpet in The Shining <<

 Beautifully sinister little bit of animation.

http://b3ta.com/links/1179911/



 >> Ohio replaces lethal injection <<

 The Onion's amusingly dark take on how capital

 punishment could be made more human by

 including enormous, decapitating robot

 claw-arms.

http://b3ta.com/links/1181029/



 >> Dad tries to catch ball <<

 Very much doing the viral rounds this week -

 bloke tries to catch a ball while carryiong his

 child. The result is not to his credit.

-------------------------------------------------


 WHAT HAPPENED NEXT:


 * B3MUSED - B3ta Music Website is back (sort

 of). Old-school b3tan zacherynuk writes, "It's

 been off-line for about a year, but with some

 horrendous hacks it's working again.


 "However, some FUCKING HAIRLESS CUNT STOLE

 B3MUSED.COM so a new name needs to be found -

 Newsletter comp time?"


 Check out the music (and maybe suggest a new

 name):
