6 in one hand; half a dozen in the other


i just heard this on the radio. i hear people say it--but they usually say it so fast or only part of it so i never paid attention to it. i always knew what it meant. but never REALLY knew. now i do, and i feel smarter

does asparagus make YOUR urine smell funny
yes
no
not mine, but i can smell others
Free polls from Pollhost.com

Does that seem like a strange question to you?

We had some great asparagus at the crab hash and pee discussions ensued. I mentioned that "it is fun to eat because it makes your pee smell funny"--some people did not know what i was talking about. I thought it affected everybody the same way---turns out, Only some people (about half) have the gene for the enzyme that breaks down mercaptan into its more pungent parts. The process is so quick that your urine can develop the distinctive smell within 15 to 30 minutes of eating asparagus. HERE is one of the articles i found.

here is another one http://www.drdaveanddee.com/asparagus.html it is kinda funny

i wonder which of the survivor "groups" have the genes to make the AWESOME smell....?

too early for HNT? crab hash pictures

not a lot of out of towners this year, bunch of DTBW's friends from high school were there, food was great, trail was normal crab hash style, good to chill by the water.

first night there i went with ass grabber to surf behind the boat. the throttle broke, we had to cruise back with his tiny back up motor with no lights after dark.

astros game on sunday

the weekend torture continued--I took the girls to another sporting event!!!! "awwww dad.... i don't wanna go to the game"

this was my first game to go to this season. have to go every year to get the "mandatory" photos taken. i took some of these from the right field outfield deck seats. my camera zooms pretty good.

it is intersting to see the changes in the park form and notice things that i have never noticed before.

there is a "homerun" pump in center field--it counts up every home run--the count is at 706, my first picture was when it was 12.

we have a "brick" for both kids in the walkway--check them out

also, check out the new pennant and the beer prices

anynone know what the "DK" is for under the '97 pennant?? Posted by Picasa
