Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following questions. They have to be real; nothing made up. You cannot use any word twice and you can't use your own name for the boy/girl name question.

Cheese 'n' Rice! Like readin' a freakin' legal contract....

Dick. (The boys NAME, people! sheesh)

3. A boy's Name:
Dagwood. (And not just the cartoon guy--It's real. I looked it up.)

4. A girl's Name:
Delilah. (Tom Jones, with pants tight and chest bare, sang about her. So tragic.)

today...

... as I stepped into the shower, I did my usual spider-check: tub--clear. walls--clear. shower curtain--clear. Then I happened to glance up at the ceiling and saw

THE
SCARIEST
SPIDER
EVER.

It was big as a house.

Well, of course, showering with the beast ready to drop onto my unprotected noggin was out of the question. Luckily, I keep a house-sized glass mason jar for just such emergencies.

I made a run to the kitchen for the jar and, after a brief scuffle, had the eight legged fiend inside. Having first seen the spider on my ceiling should have clued me in that it was a climber, but I didn't (clue-in) until it made an immediate dash up the jar's side toward the open top.

Another mad dash to the kitchen for plastic wrap and it was my hapless prisoner. I was once again in the showering business. You wanna see a picture...?

today...

Room for Rent: clock radio, knife, roll of quarters included.

Excerpt from this story in today's Salt Lake Tribune:

A South Salt Lake man allegedly bound his wife, brought her 2-year-old into the room and threatened to kill the child with a dumbbell if she did not confess to an affair he suspected.

In charges filed Tuesday, police wrote that the man held the woman captive for three days... choking her with a cable, cutting her hair off with a knife and beating her.

A Soviet Agent Who Moved Among the Hollywood Elite

With a radio transmitter hidden in her vacuum cleaner and a homey fire burning in the living room to destroy incriminating documents, Elizaveta Mukasei posed for decades as a housewife while pursuing her real job as a Soviet spy.

Um. This lady had a spy radio vacuum. How cool is that and where can I get one? I wonder if she had a shoe phone or a pen that fires poison darts....
