The Trevor Spot

Now you can too.

We should all think of the needy this time of year. Even Jon.

Chirstmas was great this year. Everyone had a good time at our house even though Layla was feeling under the weather. :-( Brooks was especially unlucky when his train home didn't arrive on time due to a crash on the tracks - the rain was coming down pretty fierce so he decided to take a cab home to the tune of $100 and he didn't get home until 12 midnight or so. I wish he had just come back here so I could have driven him home, but he didn't. I felt bad for not waiting for him when I dropped him off so I will reimburse him for the cab fare. I got a new cell phone which is cool and a bunch of games for the computer: Jedi Academy, XIII, Max Payne, Star Trek Elite Force II and Spiderman for the PS2. Nice. Shireen got a new laptop to use at law school - but I'm sure she will let me use it too! ;-) Back to work tomorrow kiddies....

Well, it's only ONE mad cow ...but the way everyone reacted to Canada when they had one mad cow, the beef industry is going to be hurting badly.

Trevor, I'm sending the "Season's Greetings!" letter ahead of a small gift I've purchased for you. The small shoulder-sitting parrot will follow in time for your holiday shopping excursions. This is a small South American Mall parrot and is most comfortable standing on your shoulder in a mall during holiday shopping excursions. Her name is Lupe and I only had time to teach her two lines, which she's been trained to repeat frequently: "Richard L. Benson!" and "Don't forget Richard L. Benson!" You can teach her other lines; it only takes a couple of months of simple repetition. By the way, you will be envied by all other shoppers because wearing trained parrots in malls is the newest "in thing" this year! Yes, people will be pointing at you with jealous envy pumping through their hearts! So, this trend is so new I don't want you to be surprised if you only see a very few others wearing their fashionable parrots as...

Or 5ives . But wouldn't it be pronounced Five-ives if you wrote it this way? Anyway it's entertaining.

All shopping has not been completed. Why must I always procrastinate so much at Christmas?

Snowflake , that is.

I was just watching the "Rikki Lake" news show on TV and saw an incredible feat! A guy "sucked up" milk from a glass through his nose, and then squirted it in a stream about six feet away from him through his eye! I'm not kidding! He squirts it through his tear duct or something. It's a thin little white stream, and he strains so hard I thought his head was going to explode. As of this moment, I'm converting to a Rikki Lake fan!

I pulled the kids in the wagon in the Laguna Niguel Holiday Parade on Saturday morning with the Y-Indian Papooses. It was good family fun - next year maybe it would be more fun for the kids to actually SEE the parade.

Who knew that the movie was taken from a series of trading cards ? I certainly didn't. From what I can see, they pretty much captured the look of the martians exactly.

I'd say someone with too much time on their hands. Pentrix - Videos .

Boy, Trevor, are you ever the tall-standing "financial midget!" Do you remember that clutch of old pennies you gave GAVE me for FREE? Yesterday I was astute enough to get to a Border's bookstore and search out a coin book to find out their present value. You're not gonna like what you hear! Are you ready? Now I ONLY checked two of the coins, the 1935 D and the 1919. To further flummox your "uncanny" financial cunning, I want you to know that the coins can fall into about 12 different gradings, or qualities that define the coin's condition. Knowing that I further want you to know that these coins, though still SECOND from the BOTTOM in the grading scale were still worth, well, A BUNDLE! Yes, the 1935 D weighed in with a value in U.S. dollars at $0.10 and the big winner, the 1919 penny stumbled across the finish line worth $0.15! Of course, I fainted dead away and fell to the floor. Several clerks had to attend to me to bring me around. Lucky for me,...

Google Bombing is bad, m'kay? I think that Google Bombing tarnishes the image people have of Google. When someone can effectively modify the search results to obtain some random result, it's like biting an into an apple and finding the insides have been replaced with lard. I'd like to think that when I search for something on the web, my results will be accurate and apply to the terms I am searching for. I hope Google will come up with some way to detect when people are trying to create a "Google Bomb" so they can disfuse it before it goes off, but I doubt it.

A self rotating computer workstation with it's own heat, air filter and lighting system! Right?

Here's a good reason.

CMNN (Costa Mesa News Network) Sunday, June 6, 2003 Man Recovers Memory of UFO Abduction A Costa Mesa man recovered his memory over the weekend, a memory of terrifying significance. Richard Benson, a Costa Mesa man, the local town drunk, a known village idiot, and a notorious and obnoxious liar reported recovering a memory "stolen" from him by aliens from another world. "Them aliens did something tricky to me, like forcing me to drink plenty of decent scotch whisky, a quart or better, then they stuffed my pocket with one-dollar bills, about three of them, and told me they were taking a human being from earth home with them to study. I saw the aliens wrestle a banjo from the man because a banjo is a feared weapon of mass annoyance on their world and they swore they only did it to protect themselves." The Costa Mesa then man took a long swig from a bottle wrapped in a brown paper bag before continuing. "Yup, I knowed the man they took, too," bragged the f...
