My dad can't swim either. That's just scary when you think of it. But there was a backstory where his sister basically threw him into the water at the beach when he was a baby and so he never learned to swim.

george carlin says that swimming isn't a sport swimming is a way to keep from drowning...I guess I never understood what was so hard about keeping one's head above water ...
I actually don't know if she can swim...but I was told by one of her neighbors (girl I knew in college) that she couldn't.

Tawny Kitaen, got arrested for beating up MLB pitcher Chuck Finley. You know the sound guy for the White Sox actually got fired because he played that Whitesnake song when Chuck Finley went to take the mound for the Indians in Chicago shortly after the arrest? Talk about the management not having a sense of humor.

no ****...wow.

I think the 1980's might also be the last time I listened to an entire rap album. That is when it was good and you could understand them....

now where is that Heavy D and The Boys tape when I need it????
