Musicians offered ‘crossroads pact with the Devil’

A voodoo practitioner from Norwich is auctioning his services on eBay
to help musicians gain fame by making a pact with the Devil at the
crossroads.

Doktor Snake says he has made the pact himself (before he got a publishing
deal) just like 1930s bluesman Robert Johnson reputedly did.

He says he will also provide a "genuine Devil’s contract," which
will serve as a binding agreement between the musician and the Lord of
Darkness.

It seems to me that Arnolds main obstacle to overcome
in his mad dash to the governor’s mansion will be all of the ridiculous old
photos of his floating around. Back in the day, Ronald Regan was able
to deep-six Breakfast with Bonzo and other embarrassing vestiges for the duration of his political career,
but in the cyberage I don’t think that is possible.

There is, of course, competition for the "biggest obstacle" tag from the
candidate’s propensity to speak his mind, such as it is, as in this quote
on Diversity: "After watching mulattas shake it, I can totally understand
why Brazil is devoted to my favorite body part, the ass." (true quote)

How many times have we heard it said, "Oh, Lord, give
me a sign!" Alas, too often the reply is vague and ambiguous: the
phone rings at an opportune time, a feather falls from out of the blue,
a water stain appears that resembles a religious image.  We all
want to know if God exists; maybe He just needs a reliable method to
let us
know He’s here.

Blogger’s confession – the picture published yesterday
in the article about a Komodo Dragon receiving acupunture treatments
was not Tirto, the actual dragon in the case but a file photo I found
at a zoo website.

Here is a REAL photo of Tirto getting his treatment from vet Oh Soon
Hock. Asked what he planned to do with the used dragon needles, the dragon doc merely
repeated his name.
