Sarah Palin and chat show host Oprah Winfrey. <BR/><BR/>But trouble-prone pop star Britney Spears would be the worst celebrity neighbour, according to a survey published on Tuesday of the most and least desirable well-known faces Americans would have in their backyard. <BR/><BR/><B>Republican vice presidential candidate Palin topped the poll of most desirable celebrity neighbors</B> with 14 percent, closely followed by Winfrey, who was particularly popular with women.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-44622840592692702112008-12-31T22:14:00.000-05:002008-12-31T22:14:00.000-05:00I got a good laugh at the clips on Trish's Dire St...I got a good laugh at the clips on Trish's Dire Straits clip.

A Tojo torpedo sent our troop ship to the bottom. I could only save three of my buddies: Fatty, Stinky, and Brooklyn. They were kind of like you fellas [to Bill, Dale, and Boomhauer], only one of them was from Brooklyn. Out of the sun came a Tojo Zero and put fitty bullets in my back. The blood attracted sharks. I had to give 'em Fatty. Then things took a turn for the worse. I made it to an island, but it was full of Tojos! They were spitting on the U.S. flag! So I rushed 'em, but it was a trap. They opened fire and blew my shins off. <B>Last thing I remember, I beat 'em all to death with a big piece of Fatty. I woke up in a field hospital, and they were sewing my feet to my knees."</B> </I><BR/><BR/>Cotton HillBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-92163512754961983872008-12-31T14:45:00.000-05:002008-12-31T14:45:00.000-05:00:))Hank Hill, Jimmah Carter, and Cotton Hill Pose ...:))<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton_Hill" REL="nofollow">Hank Hill, Jimmah Carter, and Cotton Hill Pose For The Photographer</A><BR/><BR/>I'd never heard of the Hill folks.
