Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Thursday, September 27, 2007 15 Of Your Sparks

Won't be around during the day today. We are BUILDING a Habitat For Humanity house here in Memphis for one deserving family. Though not a true ServiceMaster employee, they asked if we wanted to volunteer and we jumped on the opportunity.

Since its founding in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller, Habitat for Humanity International has built and rehabilitated more than 150,000 houses with families in need, becoming a true world leader in addressing the issues of poverty housing. 300 of those homes have been built here in the US.

We were involved with one back in ~~200o~~ 2000 (where is my editor!) and truly felt a warmth the day the family was able to move in. Our group is one of the last in the home, so we are doing the touch-up things....~~fictures~~ fixtures(That dang proof reader must be asleep)and the like.

Ever been involved in one? Let us know...

So, last night Steroid-head played his last game as a SF Giant. It is ironic that the Giants have BOOTED him after getting their multiple sell-outs and can forever talk about the current home-run king being a member of their team...guess, giving him one more year might actually show they condoned how he did it. Katherine, you have to be disgusted by the way this was handled...

We don't like the guy...it IS obvious...right? But the Giants are acting like total asses on this one....especially when they say they would sign him at the end of next season IF he wants to retire a Giant...BUSH LEAGUE!

Now, which American League team will come up with the dollars and hire him as a DH?

Still feeling the effects of not sleeping well for a few days... arg...

OK, we will let you, our loyal guests cast a BALLOT on this one
(You can select two) - OH CRAP even a misspelling here, that we can't fix!:

Opinion Polls & Market Research

In BASEBALL, the Yankees wrapped up the Wild Card this evening... High 5's to Tug, Travis and Bud and all the rest of you who bleed pinstripes as we do....OK, well Travis just wants them to spank the SUX...LOL

OK, TUG sent us this link last night and we had to share it for one main reason...

in case you have never seen it...watch when the countdown gets to :53... Yankees/Oakland playoff game... Ball hit to right field...the outfielder overthrows the ball and the runner is going to be safe at home...BUT out of no where comes Mr. Derek Jeter to catch the ball and flip it backward to the catcher to get the out...

THIS is a play that only a true superstar would have even put them self in a position to make...and one of the great things we have always loved about him...to this day, he calls his manager MR. Torre...He has so much respect for the people around him...
