   <title>To Be Continued...</title>
   <description>&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia,times new roman,times,serif;&quot;&gt;Hey y’all,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will be the last report from TheBig Blog (in its current incarnation anyway).  As a kid, I used to rearrange my furniture every couple of months or so.  (I always wondered why the bed was the only piece of bedroom furniture that had wheels on it.)  That’s basically what I’m doing here.  I’m moving my blogging over to Stephen’z Page.  I don’t know what else I have personal over at TheBigWhiteWolf.com, but it will likely end up there, as well.  I’m not going to give you a new e-mail address to memorize, because let’s face it:  I don’t want to change my address everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t fret, as Stephen’z Blog will be just as fun and entertaining as TheBig Blog.  I think it looks prettier, and I know it is more functional.  Hopefully, the new commenting system will be much better than the last and I won’t be getting any spamvertisements for ED pills, watches, handbags, or handbags containing ED pills and watches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I know you’re itching for a link to the address, so here goes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.stephenzpage.com/&quot;&gt;blog.stephenzpage.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, run check out what I said over there.  :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Stephen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;I&#039;m so glad we had this time together,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Just to have a laugh, and sing a song.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Seems we just got started and before we knew it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Came the time we had to say, &#039;So long.&#039;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>

   <title>Comments will cost you!</title>
   <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia,times new roman,times,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Alright...from now on, I&#039;ll review and consider your comments for just 50¢ via PayPal.  That&#039;s cheaper than a soda in the drink machine.  Just send it to me,  &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:thebigwhitewolf..atsign..gmail..decimal..com?subject=BlogComments&quot;&gt;(TheBigWhiteWolf) atsign (gmail) decimal/period (com)&lt;/a&gt; with a subject line of &amp;quot;blog comments.&amp;quot;  My PayPal account should be hooked into that address, so when I get a note that I got 50 cents, I&#039;ll check my gmail box for your comments and I&#039;ll consider posting them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia,times new roman,times,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;For 50 dollars, I&#039;ll consider it a lot more.  :-)  I&#039;ll even post a separate post for 50 bucks!  C&#039;mon, your spam site can write that off on taxes as part of your advertising budget!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia,times new roman,times,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;-S&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>

   <title>Commenting is back...for now...</title>
   <description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia,times new roman,times,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Alright spammers, I turned the commenting back on.  I was going to upgrade the blog to a newer version which has the CAPTCHA stuff to keep spambots from commenting...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia,times new roman,times,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Unfortunately, I can&#039;t find the database where my bloggings are stored, so I&#039;m hesitant to upgrade and lose all that, so I&#039;m stuck deleting comments about pennis pumps from my great aunt&#039;s obituaries.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia,times new roman,times,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Spam away freshness lovers.  Spam away.  :-P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

   <title>1, 2, 3 --or-- Duffs and chafing and poop eating space monkeys, oh my!</title>
   <description>
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;The other day, I was
looking back and realized that I hadn’t updated TheBig Blog in about a
month.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This can only mean several
things.&lt;o /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I’ve been sitting lazily on my duff,
unwilling to move my fingers on the keyboard in any way unrelated to either my
job or my entertainment.&lt;o /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;Nothing of note has happened since my last
post.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I’ve neither been anywhere
exciting, nor have I read of anything that I felt I should share with you.&lt;o /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;TheBig Blog was invaded by space aliens and
the evil closet monkey who have killed off the commenting section, and they
will no longer allow me to type anything negative in regards to monkeys,
aliens, rectal probes, or eating one’s own poop.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;If you guessed all of the
above, you couldn’t be more wrong unless you chose none of the above and
bubbled in the mark with an unheavy, undark, and incomplete fill using a number
three pencil instead of a number two.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; 
&lt;/span&gt;(Note to space aliens and evil closet monkey:&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;a “number two pencil” is used to differentiate
the hardness of the pencil’s lead and has nothing to do with neither poop, nor
the eating thereof.)&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Come
to think of
it, you may not have been wrong in the first place, but since the lead
mark is
to be read by an optical scanner, and you in your own ignorance and/or
stupidity decided to go ahead and use that number three pencil, then
you, Mister/Miss/Missus/Mistress/Monsignor/Doctor/Reverend/(insert
title here) Number Three Pencil Using Rebel deserve nothing more than
to be
called out for your rebellious stupido-ignoratude.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;(Yes, I made that word up.)&lt;o&gt; &lt;/o&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;Now it’s time for me to
rebut or reinforce myself on the points listed above.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;First off, yes, I have been sitting lazily on
my duff.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I like my duff.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I particularly enjoy the wavering fluffiness
of its cushion when attempting to sit on solid objects.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;If you too enjoy my duff, please call
1-866-DUFFS 01 to vote me as the next American Duff.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I’m making a duff of myself at the moment,
aren’t I?&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Jurors, please strike this
paragraph.&lt;o /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;





&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;Secondly, LOTS has
happened since my last post.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I have
probably shaved a total of sixteen times since then, though those instances
were kept to a minimum because I lacked a fresh razor blade, and the chafing was
uncomfortable.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;That wasn’t an item of
note, I realize, but hey, hey, whaddaya say?&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; 
&lt;/span&gt;Shanda and I drove out to see her Uncle who lives &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;only&lt;/i&gt; an hour and a half away.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; 
&lt;/span&gt;What could possibly be more exciting than a road trip on I-85?&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Aside from watching paint dry or grass grow, not
that much, I’ll grant you that.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I became
an uncle by marriage and friendship.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;(My
wife’s friend had a baby girl.)&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;What’s
even more exciting than that?&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;My church
is evicting itself from its current meeting place.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Apparently having three services in the
auditorium of &lt;st1&gt;&lt;st1&gt;Riverside&lt;/st1&gt;
 &lt;st1&gt;High School&lt;/st1&gt;&lt;/st1&gt; isn’t quite
enough.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;So, sooner or later, we’re going
to be out of RHS and into wherever God takes us next.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Pray for us!&lt;o /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;





&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;Finally, if you’ve been
paying attention to TheBig Blog you would realize that number three is not entirely
true.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I can neither confirm nor deny the
presence of poop-eating rectal-probing alien monkeys or the lack thereof.&lt;o /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;





&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;NTTAWWT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

   <title>Alright, enough of this gooey sh...</title>
   <description>
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia,times new roman,times,serif;&quot;&gt;...show of emotions.  Time to get TheBig Blog rollin!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#039;ve finally decided to try and strike out on my own.  I&#039;m paying monthly for a website, it&#039;s not really being used, and if I get blogging software for free, I&#039;m going to take advantage of it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia,times new roman,times,serif;&quot;&gt;You can see my past blogs by clicking somewhere on the page.  Right now
it&#039;s on the right of the page.  I&#039;m not too sure if I go changing the
templates for this page if it will stay at the right or if it will move
around.  The surest way to make sure it moves around is to say it will
be on the right, or to have it stay at right, say it&#039;s going to move
around.  I don&#039;t know what will happen, and I&#039;m not going to pretend to
know.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That&#039;s a whole lot of nothing that I said right there, I know.  I&#039;m
excited to have my own blog now.  I call it my own, but all I can take
credit for is the content and the logo up at the top.  (A free gmail
invite to the first person telling me where the subtitle came from.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stick around and you&#039;ll find out about my interests.  Click the links,
wherever they may be, and you&#039;re sure to encounter some fun stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyways, it&#039;s past time for me to go home, so...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BYE y&#039;all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia,times new roman,times,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Comments disabled 18 July 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;address&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia,times new roman,times,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/address&gt;</description>
