MICHAEL JOHNSON WORLD RECORD 400 METERS..43.1 AND 200 METERS......WIZARDOFBAUM

As part of the build-up to the 2012 Summer Olympics, Johnson made a documentary, Survival of the Fastest, for Channel 4 which investigated the dominance of Afro-American and Afro-Caribbean sprinters.[27] The program made the controversial suggestion that a side effect of the slave trade may have been to accelerate natural selection as only the very fittest could survive the brutal process, resulting in a population predisposed to superior athletic performance.[28] In 1988, Jimmy "the Greek" Snyder was fired from his job at CBS Sports for making similar claims.

WHAT OLD RETIRED PEOPLE DO FOR FUN...WIZARDOFBAUM
Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.
Well, for example, the other day my wife and I went into town and went into a shop. We were only in there for about 5 minutes.
When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and said, 'Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?'
He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi turd.
He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tyres+.
So my wife called him a shit-head.
He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes.
The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
Personally, we didn't care. We came into town by bus.
We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired.
It's important at our age.

TODD CHRISTOPHER ELLIOT POEMS,,WIZARDOFBAUM
Tuesday, June 30, 2009
THE BOOGYMAN
He comes in the night
to scare and fright
Hideous in looks
much worse then in books
And while you sleep after you have read
he is hiding under your bed
When you roll over and see the horror before your eyes
you know that it cant be lies
For the Boogyman has always been in your mind awhile
and now you cant be in denial
You close your eyes to make the horror go away
and hope it wont ever come back another day
But we all know the Boogyman is real
and definitely the real deal
So be good to others
including your sisters and brothers
And treat your parents right
for if you do, you have no need to fear the night
FULL CIRCLE
A STORY OF A MAN WHO GOT SHIT ON HIS ENTIRE LIFE AND THE LAST THING HE DOES IS THAT
I remember coming out of my mothers womb
after spending nine months in a tomb
They slapped me hard on my butt
and i cried and that began my rut
I learned to talk and walk at two
but didnt know how to tie my shoe
I played all day without any worry
and fell down on streets that were slurry
But then my mom took me to school at five
and suddenly i felt no longer alive
Going to school for twelve years wasnt in the cards
but i did run around alot of school yards
My hormones raged at fourteen
something totally unforseen
Suddenly girls looked good to me
but i didnt know what to do but pee with my wee wee
High school
my body changed so fast and furiousthat even I was becoming so curious
I didnt date for I had no money or car
and was too young to go to a bar
When I graduated I met my first girl
and she was quite the thrill
Long blonde hair and blue eyes to match
gave me so many visions I wanted to hatch
But alas she left me soon
for I was a possessive goon
Soon I was in the army playing solider
and suddenly felt so much older
I got out and went to college to be someone to be
and graduated and thought my life was set with glee
But then I worked for a boss who was a bully and mean
finding myself a slave and going home to eat soup and bean
I married in my thirties to a girl I thought I did love
but she left me as fast as dove meets another dove
She took half of what I owned you see
and now I was back to eating soup and a bowl of pea
I aged with grace
which is no disgrace
I didnt date after that seriously for I was worried about losing what was left to me
and still had my heart broken for all to see
I got sick one day and soon I was in a rest home
looking like everyone else there as a clone
Sitting in the hallway in my wheel chair
was almost too much to bare
Eating food with no teeth
was almost a relief
And only thrill for me was when the nurse gave me a sponge bath each day
reminding me of my first sexual experience when I yelled ,,hooray
But then my memory faded
and i felt jaded
I began to shrink in time and couldnt see
and I started to plea
I ended up in intensive care
which was too much to bare
Wires and tubes in my body
was really very shoddy
The day I died, the last thing i remember was a light
and that was a sight
For i saw myself up above looking down
and my face showed no frown
and the last thing i did on earth
was what i did at birth
and that is..POOP
POPSICLE
I love popsicles to lick and suck
and most only cost a buck
I slide my tongue up and down the shaft
and think of myself on a lake on a raft
Sliding my tongue ever so slowly over the tip
makes me feel so cool and hip
Sucking the juices as they flow
makes my heart pitter patter and glow
For sucking the popsicle makes me think
of a girl I knew who i did wink
And she also made my heart beat
so sucking a popsicle is so neat
When your all alone at night
suck and lick a popsicle and think of her and you will be alright
TEASEBOMB
She teases me with her looks
even when she is reading books
Giving me looks that make me smile
but knowing its all denial
Her seductive nature entices me in
but im aware of the sin
So though I fall for her seduction
I only let it be a production
For I dont want to fall into her web you see
leaving me in a drowning sea
Alone in my feelings for her
knowing she isnt my real cure
I cannot deny the feelings of her scent
but cannot allow myself to enter hells bent
She can sink a thousand ships
with her undulating hips
So i retreat to my own world and mind
saving myself into getting into a bind

Homeowner accounts are not the board's slush fund When unscrupulous board directors conspire to collect more money for any reason other than for an earmarked project, that could be deemed a fraud....wizardofbaum
