12-17-2008 - Someone thinks I know Latin...

Ok, this one comes from Katie Kiss, and I have to admit, that has a lot of potential. (Of course being married and not knowing who this person really is or where they are does limit that potential.) However, it appears that I am fluent in Latin. Yeah, that will come in handy some time. Carpi Babem! (Sieze the babe!)

Hi Mike,I'm glad you finally have my gmail. Now you can e-mail anytime with all your messages! Semper ubi sub ubi or how do say that again in Latin??? How about telling me how to say Merry Christmas. Something major has really changed at school regarding my class. It involves another teacher coming on board. It seems to be a good thing, actually too good to be true. That's when I start getting suspicious! I really have to talk to you one more time before the Holidays by phone. I'll call you tonight.

Thanks,

Katie

Hi Michael,

We just spoke on the phone about the possibility of some veterans from the war in Iraq coming into my classroom after the holidays. I am a 9th grade English teacher at the Urban Assembly Media HS, which is located in the Martin Luther King Educational Campus on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. My students have been reading a book, Sunrise Over Fallujah, about young man from Harlem who enlists in the army and ends up in Iraq. Giving them the opportunity to speak with someone who has been there would be a powerful experience for them, and I look forward to hearing from you. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any more information about what I am looking for.

Enjoy your holidays. I look forward to hearing from you.

10-26-2008 - I'm Politically Active!

Got this in the mail tonight, guess I'm going to have to vote early and often with all the campaigns I've signed up for across the country.

Dear Friends,

Thanks to your support, we are a significant, viable force in the U S Senate Race in Minnesota. While the poll numbers of Coleman and Franken fluctuate wildly, our numbers steadily improve, having risen to the 20% range in spite of name recognition of only 60%. We are now on the threshold of the tipping point where voters move beyond “Can he win” to “With my vote, he will win!” I need your help to push us over that tipping point. The simple political fact is that we need to reach voters who have not heard of me yet. In every public appearance I make, I meet many people who did not know I was in the race and are relieved to find someone to vote for. We need to reach these people this week and the only way to do so is on television. My good friend Bill Hillsman who worked with me on the Kinky Friedman campaign is creating a breakthrough television ad campaign for the last week of this election. Many of you will recall that Bill created the famous ads which pushed Paul Wellstone over the top in 1990 and Jesse Ventura in 1998. I need your help to raise $65,000 by 6:00 pm Tuesday to produce and run this ad to a full statewide audience. The good news is that we’ve already raised $25,000 of this, but you are the critical link to help us get the rest of the way there. If you haven’t had the chance to donate yet, now is the time to make a financial contribution. If you are in a position to give more, please do so today (and give just enough that it hurts a little). Most importantly, grab a few of your friends and let them know that they can make the difference in this race. For the first time in two generations, we can send a message to end the partisanship and paralysis of the two-party system in Washington. Please join me now to make this happen!

Sincerely,

So, what the hell, I'm game. I went to the Papa John's website and reset the password and logged into the account, here is what I found out about myself:




Ok, so my base info:



Michael Brennan

Home Phone 407-373-3799


So, then I logged out, I want to see just how big an idiot this guy has to be to use an e-mail address that is not his when he signs up. Started to create a new account. Look at the screen capture below, you have to input your e-mail address, then enter it again to confirm. This rules out a typo for this idiot.



Finally, I filed a complaint about the order with Papa Johns. Maybe I can get a free pizza or something. I also checked out what he ordered, he got a "White Pizza" (alfredo sauce) with Bacon. Sounds horrible, this must be my gay twin from Florida.

10-22-2008 - Please Stop

After I responded to the mail in the last post, with pretty much the text under their message, I sent one more message to FBLA. Seems I was getting some bouncebacks from their mailing list, including my bad address, they had a 19% error rate. I told them that this was impressive.

When I got up this morning, I had this message in my inbox, guess they finally got the point:

from Bellevue Fbla <bellevuefbla@yahoo.com>

subject Please Stop

Michael,

This is Ben, the president of the BHS FBLA chapter. I would first like to appologize for accidently sending you e-mails that were clearly not meant for you. I misread what someone wrote on the information sheet that I passed around during the first meeting which caused me to end up sending you an e-mail instead of the person who wrote their name and e-mail on the sheet. I would also like to ask you to please stop sending unecessarily rude e-mails to either me, Mrs. Burnard (our teacher advisor), or anyone else in FBLA. You have made your point and I have fixed the problem, so now you should no longer be recieving anymore unwanted e-mails from me or anyone else in FBLA after this e-mail. Thank you very much for understanding.

Sincerely,
Ben

So, while I will cease mailing them, if they have really taken me off the list. However, I'm still concerned that our Future Business Leaders (of America) is being led by someone who spells Mikey M I C H A E L. Not good news for the future.

10-21-2008 - I need a ride...

Ok, somehow I am still involved in the Bellevue High School FLBA. (Future Business Leaders of America)

Evidently I depend on other people for rides, as this e-mail indicates:

from Alex Mennella amennella14@comcast.net

Mikey,

I will be able to give you a ride I live in Spirit Lake, Iowa and your not that far out of the way. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning for thursdays meeting in Bellevue.

-Alex

So, I have to ask what kind of idiot spells Mikey M I C H A E L in their e-mail address? And what kind of brain damage does it take to keep giving it out as his own? And why do I know someone who uses such poor grammar? "your not that far out of the way." How about "you're" instead, Alex?

Future leader of what business?

10-19-2008 - I didn't vote for you...

Got this in the mail. Anyone out there have any idea WTF "FBLA" might be? Females Brushing Lesbian Aerola? Fat Bald Ladies Attacking? I'm at a loss...

M Brennan, Esq My Ref MB
Thornfield House,
Crowsley Road,
Lower Shiplake,
Oxfordshire,
RG9 1UJ. 14th October 2008

Dear Martin,

I have just realised, after finding my note of telephone conversation hidden under a pile of papers, that I have not replied to your phone call of some time ago for which I apologise.

Answering the points raised the answers are as follows:

Personal tax allowances for children

All of a child’s income is chargeable on the child and he or she has full entitlement to personal allowances and reliefs. In most cases only the personal allowances will be available. Returns and claims may be made by a child in respect of income within his control but otherwise these are the responsibility of his parent or guardian who is also liable for payment of any tax in default of payment by the child.

Dependent Relative Relief

Dependent relative relief is not available after 5th April 1988 unless the residence was acquired before that date and the following conditions were met by that date:

the dependant relative must occupy the dwelling house rent free and without any other consideration,

Only one dependent’s dwelling house can qualify at any one time,

A husband and wife can claim for only one such dwelling house between them,

The dwelling house must be the sole residence of the dependent relative, and

The dwelling house must have been acquired before 6th April 1988 and the conditions above fulfilled in relation to a dependent relative before that date.

From the information that you advised to me being that the property was purchased in 1987 and the dependent relative lived in it as their sole residence then the property would qualify for the relief so long as all the other conditions mentioned above were met. If this was the situation then the profit of £200,000 (sale proceeds of £270,000 less purchase price £70,000) would not be taxable and be treated as similar to the position of a principal private residence.

Inheritance tax

The rules on Inheritance tax and the availability to give away assets in ones lifetime are that each individual has a tax free amount of £312,000 before Inheritance tax commences that usually applies at the time of death. However lifetime gifts are allowable and no inheritance tax will be chargeable on those gifts if the donor survives seven years after the gift was made. If the donor dies within the seven years then a percentage of the full charge will be made as follows:

0 – 3 years 100%
3 – 4 years 80%
4 – 5 years 60%
5 – 6 years 40%
6 – 7 years 20%

Once the seven years has elapsed then the overall allowance of £312,000 is reinstated.

I trust that this answers the questions raised and if you need further clarification do not hesitate in contacting me.

Yours sincerely,

Alan Patmore

mailed-by verizon.net

hide details 10:02 AM (18 minutes ago) Reply



i never send shit out-but this is soo friggin funny

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!

JOHN MC CAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure — right from Day One! — that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn’t about me…….

DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won’t realize that he must first deal with the problem on ‘THIS’ side of the road before it goes after the problem on the ‘OTHER SIDE’ of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he’s acting by not taking on his ‘CURRENT’ problems before adding ‘NEW’ problems.

OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I’m going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don’t really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road…

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken’s intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he’s GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer’s Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I’ve not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.

JERRY FALWELL:
Because the chicken was gay! Can’t you people see the plain truth? That’s why they call it the ‘other side.’ Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like ‘the other side’. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It’s as plain and as simple as that.

GRANDPA:
In my day we didn’t ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn’t that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.

ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra…#@&&^(C% ……… reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?

DICK CHENEY:
Where’s my gun?

AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens!

9-30-2008 - Octopost!

I have not a single idea what an Octopost is, but evidently I'm in business regarding them. And as this was a reply, that means some dummy sent this looking like it came from my e-mail address...

David,
Thank you both for coming.
I have read your document and have no comments except for the forecast it's a little optimistic with 200 post-drivers a year in three years time.

To get started we need the brochure translated in to Swedish, also completed with a photo showing our Octoposts.

To give prices (witch is important), we need a pricelist (valid for a certain period), with included transport cost.

The sooner you have these things ready, the sooner we can start.

Best regards Leif

Winter 2007 - Matchmaker make me a match

In November/December last year, someone signed up for Matchmaker with my e-mail address. I neglected to save the profile, but did download their profile picture. Come on, if you are going to pretend to be me, at least get some better looking chicks. Damn, there goes my rep again!

Funny thing, this message looks like it sort of came from me, but it didn't. I'm not sure who this guy is, but needs to stop drinking so much beforehe brings home the chicks from the party. Damn, you're killing my rep! And WTF is "only two rows so far"?

Hi Mike, Arrived home safely. We had an hour delay at Shannon, but everything went smooth. Althea and Barry got stuck with their connecting flight for about a 3 hour delay. We had a lovely time in Adare, and was happy to see everyone. Dolly hasn't changed at all, she's the best. Thanks for the pictures and books. Give our love to Rose, she's so good to Dolly. Please God, Dolly will come for a visit next year. John is off to the races today with some buddies, maybe he'll get lucky and do better than the Limerick races. Regards, Christine and John

I don't know who these people are, or care really, but they are home, their very boring e-mail and funny photos are below:

Hi Michael.............Amazingly, we made it back ok. The flight from Shannon was delayed an hour. Arrived in NY at 3pm EST. Then the luggage was delayed. We finally said goodbye to John and Christine at 4:30. Our flight to Orlando was to be at 7:30. We didn't take off until 10:15pm....a horrendous experience in a dirty airport with no place to sit and air conditioning. I thought we were in hell. Maybe we were. Arrived in FL at 1:30am on 7/10. Our ride home was on time (praise be) and we arrived at our front door at 2:30am. Up again at 6am ....Barry to work and I to the laundry room. HA rose and Michael, we can't thank you enough for your wonderful warm hospitality. I am telling everyone about the good gentle folk of Adare. Michael, thanks for the CD. I have already imported your pictures into my pictures and will be showing the family next week. Here is the shot of us all in the pub on our last night together. Also one of "herself" doing a reel with the visiting troupe at the visitor's centre. I thought Michael Relihan was going to split his sides with laughter. Rose, we can't wait to hang our Slainte plaque above the bar. Will send a snap of that when we do.You and Michael are the ultimate hosts, giving gifts to people whom you've never met. You speak well for Adare. Let's keep in touch. With gratitude and love,Althea & Barry Toth (pictures below)

6/20/2008 - Jesus Hates Yoga

This was e-mailed to me by roseoftralee@frontiernet.net - some sort of militant Catholic group. Very disturbing that Jesus Hates Yoga.

If you want to see the funny website this was extracted from, click here.

Yoga Exercises and the Christian

YOGA IS POPULAR

Yoga exercises sound so beneficial. Book shops and libraries are full of yoga books. Doctors, clergy, teachers, and professional people practice it. Yoga claims to work on the muscular, glandular, and physical nervous systems. Wonderful physical and emotional benefits are promised. Indeed, yoga is a complex subject, with many different types, but this tract will be confined to the Christian perspective. Many Christians practicing yoga have expressed indignation when its connections to Hinduism and Eastern Mystical Religions are pointed out. Some Christians even declare that when they are relaxing or practicing yoga postures, they keep their thoughts on Jesus, and are therefore protected. Both Christians and yoga teachers are heard to loudly deny that yoga is any kind of a religion, but rather a beneficial exercise.

PRINCIPLES BEHIND YOGA EXERCISES
In truth, yoga exercises are NOT just of a physical nature. They cannot be separated from their mystical, Hinduistic purposes. Yoga teaches that there are some 72,000 invisible psychic channels, which constitute another-dimensional body. This "subtle" body is claimed to connect to the real body in seven predominant places, ranging from the base of the spine to the top of the head. The teachings of Hatha (physical) yoga teach that at the base of the spines lies coiled a great serpent power called Kundalini. A former yoga teacher for ten years, and former vice-principal of a large yoga school, now a Christian, comments
"Every posture is designed to stimulate this power to uncoil itself and rise up through the nerve centers in the spine, which are closely related to the endocrine glands, until it finally reaches the pituitary gland--the thousand petal lotus--and when this occurs after long and disciplined practice, perfect enlightenment is achieved."
A Christian need not be instructed on the significance of the original serpent, Satan the Devil! (See Revelation 12:9)

THE PURPOSE OF YOGA
The purpose of the yoga exercise is to align the "subtle" body with the real one, and thereby alter the consciousness of the practitioner in a specified way. The positioning of the body in the yoga postures opens up the practitioner to "vibrations" which teach him the "wisdom" of yoga. As a person proceeds with the physical yoga exercises, it will not be too long before he is asked to practice the "meditation" along with the postures. Often, this begins with just an urging to "empty the mind of all thought", and then progresses into real Hindu meditation. Christian meditation as taught throughout the Bible is a FILLING of the mind with the words and precepts of God, and is the exact opposite of yoga meditation.

PHYSICAL BUT NOT SPIRITUAL?
Skeptical Christians should go to their public library and read ANY authoritative book on Hatha Yoga (physical yoga). These various books will make it clear that physical yoga is just the first step to spiritual yoga, and its roots are solidly in Hinduism. One Christian authority on Yoga, Mother Basilea Schlink of the Darmstat Sisters warns in a pamphlet,
"...every Yoga posture was originally designed to worship the Hindu god Krishna".

YOGA'S VIEW OF JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is presented by yoga as just one of many great masters like Buddha, Krishna, and Mohammed. Yoga teaches that there are many ways of reaching God, all equally good. If Christians are seeking peace and relaxation in yoga, then they are seeking the world's way, not the Way of Jesus Christ. John 14:27 puts it well, quoting Jesus Christ,
"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."
The true peace from Jesus Christ sustains the Christian through all circumstances, not just while exercising or meditating.

IN CONCLUSION
Christians practicing yoga need to cease immediately, repent of it, and ask God's forgiveness.

Yoga is not just exercise!
