The G-8 Summit's recent pledge to offer 20 Billion dollars to the world's hungry equates to approximately $20 dollars for each of those facing a daily crisis of malnourishment.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Sib Ahmalin, a tribesman in Ghana where President Obama has made a stop during his sojourn to the Summit, said that he is personally grateful for the $20 dollars and plans to use it to purchase two Big Mac's and a chocolate shake as well as the larger fries, should his impoverished village ever get a McDonald's franchise.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>"If we do not receive the franchise, my family and I plan to eat the money directly as it contains a needed source of cellulose," stated the suprisingly astute Ghanaian farmer.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>When Asked by Rag Box Food and Health Correspondent Jill Klimhausen how much in the way of nutrients one could expect from a $20 dollar bill, she stated that it would provide sufficient pulp for one decent bowel movement. "This is providing that Mr. Ahmalin and his family still have functioning bowels," she added.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The next G-8 Summit whose dates have yet to be set has already promised to increase the amount of aid to the worlds hungry to include spoons, knives, and forks, should they become necessary in the event real aid is on the way.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>"It won't be top shelf silverware, mind you.

"We pay him a lot of money not to look like an idiot.

"Look, he hasn't done drugs, been caught with a babe on each arm, or otherwise disgraced the league (NBA) or Nike, so cut him some slack."</div><br /><div></div><div>When it was pointed out that videotaping had occurred during the entire pick up game and that the reported slam dunk could have been handled by James in a humorous manner, Menninger confiscated Driftbox's notes and tore them to pieces.</div><br /><div></div><div>This account of events are thus considered hearsay as Driftbox recounted this story from his memory.

A few of the planned expositions and tributes are listed below.<br /><br /><br /><ul><li>Plans are underway for a 400 foot statue of a sequined glove in downtown New York near the Guggenheim Museum</li><li>The Rhinoplasty Center in Sewell N.J. is planning an entourage of 400 doctors and nurses to form a phalanx shaped in the likeness of Jackson's nose and march themselves in unison down Old Mill road and terminate at Washington Lake Park, where the doctors will then disperse in the shape of a giant nosebleed.</li><li>Children in Newton, Mississippi will assemble at city hall where they will run as quickly as possible in all directions when the mayor announces that Michael Jackson is in fact alive, and headed toward the city. "We already have a Jackson hunt planned for next year," stated mayor Dan Johnson. "We have an egg with the face of Michael Jackson on it. We are going to hide it in our park and the child who finds it will be asked to turn it into the police and receive a reward."</li><li>All ELCA Lutheran Churches across the nation who bear the name "St. Michael" will instead name them "St. Jackson" in honor of the King of Pop's generous donations over the years. </li></ul><p>Other venues such as the Mars Candy Corporation are making plans to name a new snack after Jackson called the Jack-O Bar, tentatively made up of a core of dark chocolate and peanuts smothered in a white chocolate coating. </p><p>Television and other media outlets have already agreed to a series of "specials" and "in depth" memorials designed to take his memory into 2020. When asked by The Rag Box as to why the media would now, in essence, deify an individual they spent nearly 30 years vilifying. most responded by saying, "Hey. Dude is dead. We can afford to be nice to him now."</p><p>As a matter of record, The Rag Box wishes to offer its own tribute, already executed by a party of individuals whose video follows. WARNING.

Eight men have allegedly stepped forward to incriminate Senator Craig with reference to the performance of sexual acts at various times. This, in addition to Craig having been caught in a sex sting operation in a public restroom where his shoe allegedly made contact with the shoe of a person in the next stall. Allegedly, Craig's hand was also involved in some way in that incident.<br /><br />Senator Craig has denied all of the allegations, stating that his shoes tend to wander during his brief stays in restrooms and that the emergence of individuals who now claim to have had sex with the Senator has come about because of the holiday season.<br /><br />When asked to clarify the remark, Craig stated that it is no secret that this is the season to be jolly. People are in a festive mood. Who knows where one's shoes will wind up?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8891932570482472180-3650923526619706285?l=ragbox.blogspot.com'/></div>Some Dudenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891932570482472180.post-83402011146494247632007-10-28T08:29:00.001-04:002008-06-13T07:48:11.180-04:00FEMA Underestimates Self...AgainBillions of dollars in materials have been sitting in a warehouse for nearly a year, yet FEMA has never gotten around <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dP5h3nrLqto/RySAuF9nDHI/AAAAAAAAAf4/F0UnVi8MjAw/s1600-h/fema.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5126363805217393778" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" height="180" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dP5h3nrLqto/RySAuF9nDHI/AAAAAAAAAf4/F0UnVi8MjAw/s400/fema.jpg" width="163" border="0" /></a> to see that it could be distributed to, oh, we don't know....New Orleans perhaps? <br /> <br />69,000 people die in the Chinese earthquake.

Tom Striggles, who has been an indigent for over 20 years marveled recently when told that a portfolio contained important information about a person's general financial health and the various business and investment activities that the financially educated were involved in. "Jeez, a portfolio, eh? That's what I used to wipe my ass with."<br /><br />Not to be discouraged, Amy Nussbaum, Chief Market Analyst for the Rag Box told Striggles not to worry. Everyone is wiping their asses with their portfolios right about now.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8891932570482472180-7797114424324792673?l=ragbox.blogspot.com'/></div>Some Dudenoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891932570482472180.post-17530534084228804992007-10-18T09:00:00.000-04:002007-10-18T09:09:52.810-04:00Russian and Chinese Threats LaughableWe mock your childish attempts at threatening the great power of America. We photograph ourselves with the Dalai Lama and point our middle fingers at you, you lead producing lipstick, toy sending, stinky leather making slant eyes. And as for you, Putin, kiss our collective asses. Threaten us on Iran? We will attack them whenever we feel like it. And just to update you, we don't need a reason. We didn't need one to go into Iraq, and we don't need one to go into Iran.<br /><br />And as for your saber rattling on building new nuclear weapons. We've got news for you Cossack Boy. Our "old" nuclear weapons work just fine. Radiation tends to last a long time. A new nuclear weapon in what, a new shell casing? We will bury you with our weapons and Moscow will glow like a burned out cinder in the night. You would do well to step down and go back to the promise your government made about the possibility of Democracy, not the neo-Stalinist State you now have produced. And keep you Cosmonauts on your side of the International Space Station. They don't use deodorant.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8891932570482472180-1753053408422880499?l=ragbox.blogspot.com'/></div>Some Dudenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891932570482472180.post-85510839443609997992007-09-18T17:20:00.001-04:002007-09-18T17:33:46.046-04:00If I Stole It<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dP5h3nrLqto/RvBBG98yssI/AAAAAAAAAfA/0cSVrWy-AFs/s1600-h/oj.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dP5h3nrLqto/RvBBG98yssI/AAAAAAAAAfA/0cSVrWy-AFs/s400/oj.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5111657165030077122" border="0" /></a>Un-convicted murderer and would be author Orenthal James Simpson found himself on the other side of the law yet again when the former football great was arrested in Las Vegas after a bungled attempt to acquire sports memorabilia he claims belonged to him.<br /><br />Simpson is planning a new book "If I Stole It" to detail the plans he drew up in the botched break in.<br /><br />"I'm not saying I stole anything, but if I did, this is how I would have done it. I would have completely screwed it up and placed myself on the front burner of every tabloid on the planet. I would have been arrested, and possibly convicted if I did, in fact, commit the alleged crime," stated the affable person of interest.<br /><br />The family of formerly alive Ron Goldman have already planned to confiscate any rights to the book as soon as it is written, if Simpson decides to do so.<br /><br />An alternate title for the book had been in the works "If I steal It, They Will Come." and, although the latter part of this choice appears to have worked out, the first few chapters would have to be re-written, as Simpson was unable to acquire any of the memorabilia he stated as belonging to him. Hence, a re-write of the new title of the alleged book-in-progress, "If I Act Like An Idiot, They Will Come."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8891932570482472180-8551083944360999799?l=ragbox.blogspot.com'/></div>Some Dudenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891932570482472180.post-43085199853415622852007-09-15T09:45:00.001-04:002007-09-15T19:46:38.847-04:00Anorexics Nervosa About British Report<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dP5h3nrLqto/Ruvh-t8ysrI/AAAAAAAAAe4/s76Ayr_L814/s1600-h/model.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110426669784674994" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 232px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 233px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dP5h3nrLqto/Ruvh-t8ysrI/AAAAAAAAAe4/s76Ayr_L814/s400/model.jpg" border="0" /></a>The International Association for Anorexia Nervosa (IAAN) nervously reacted to a British report that suggested medical screening for runway models. So-called Ultra Thin models have been banned from appearing in fashion shows in other countries, an alarming trend according to the IAAN.<br /><br />Helen Flipboard, President of the IAAN stated that"...if this trend does not stop, we are threatening a hunger strike. Let them stick that into their twinkies!"<br /><br />Such a strike could cripple the industry, in which some experts have suggested that up to 40% of all runway models suffer either from some form of an eating disorder or idiocy.<br /><br />To underscore the severity of the situation, actress Nicole Richie was recently sentenced to 4 days in prison for a DUI violation. The sentence was to have been carried out to term. However, the slim actress merely walked between the bars of her cell and through a thin crack in the LA Detention Center's outer door, leading to a limousine in which she managed to squeeze herself between the front and rear windows.<br /><br />"Obviously, this sets a dangerous precedent not only for models and actresses, but would be criminals who would be able to use it as an advantage during crime sprees," offered Jim Pressfin, a prison official for the Detention Center who spoke on condition of anonymity.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8891932570482472180-4308519985341562285?l=ragbox.blogspot.com'/></div>Some Dudenoreply@blogger.com0
