This is a girl called Megan Marrone and this is the story of her life.

They say the name morrone came from the latin ‘pig’ this was quite accurate. They also say that she swapped he shoes for three cans of beans no make up. She was also sighted on a biffa tip trying to convince a tramp to sleep with her for the same 3 cans of beans, he said "get out of here "’pig’ (her latin name for morrone) you stink". However the tramp later agreed to sleep with morrone on the condition she washed her face, yet morrone could not do this so she went to age concern and purchased a banana and a freezer bag for use we are unsure. In 1993 her mother was caught on several occasions for trying to rape an old age pensioner for personal reasons, this was prooved when a carrot was found in the old pensioners buttocks. Although this was proven the pensioner did not press charges however he did, morrrone spent the rest of he days sweeping the old pensioners home and eating carrots ‘whereabouts unknown’ and often went fishing with her brother Gerrey. Gerrey, (best known by his stage name as "you suck") started his own movie production business, however this did not go well. He found himself with no money to get together actors for his movies, his first movie was titled "You get out of here now before I lick your mothers prawn" these was the last words his father said to him before he got hit by a coach sized alligator.

But the aligator could not b e blamed for this he was once shot in the eye at forty mile an hour with a fruit pastel. Gerry left all his possestions to morrone which was one stale sandwich and a jack-in the box although this was never fully proven she is rumoured to have forgotten how to say the number four and now considered to be severly slow when she says lorry it sounds like potato. According to MTV she is the most retarded one armed cancer patient in the history of cancer patients. Her brother Gerrey tried to decline these claims but when she couldn’t remember who threw up on her face just seconds before she was asked, it was living proof that she was a jackass. In 2006 she wrote a book on her life story, it was reported to have sold 1 copy to a blind man who raped a cow shaped fish. He was unhappy with the purchase so he threw it at Jade Goody who at the time was having a cancer scan which made the machine tell her she didn’t have cancer. (unlucky for her). After the embarrasment of MTV marrone had to find a way to entertain herself so she took up wooden kid snatching although this sport was illegal. It kept her from crapping herself. In 2010 it is predicted that marrone might find herself hitting a pigeon with a shovel like before in corornation street in fact identical. The betting odds that she will get hit by a shovel are most definate at 1,000,000,000,000 to 1 in favour of this bet. It was reported that Megan shat herself whilst trying to spell Dog in a spelling bee contest for retards in memory of her dad when he told her some very special advice, "Dont sit on the toilet seat your mother shit on it with dihorrea"

Finally you might be thinking she was locked up for armed robery but you are wrong. She had a fight with James Morrison because she took the lyrics from one of his songs to heart. This lead to her selling her entire raw waste collection and a 15 pack of huggies which isnt good for noone.

She spent the last few years of her life giving birth to seaguls and stole her own trousers although this was never fully proven. Once she had cleared her brothers debts of forty two pounds twenty she was free to ride goats and provoke bears till he nipples went green which did actually happen…

Even Smoking Steve Nash said "Why does she keep giving me seaguls, they’re always covered in wierd shit, it’s just not natural."

I made a bet with some girls on the volleyball team regarding how girls can’t play sports and how I could beat them in volleyball. Needless to say, I didnt. Now, I have to go to their practices every day for a week dressed as a female volleyball player. If I dont dress girly enough, then I owe them 0. They will be checking and inspecting me everyday (including undergarments) to make sure I look the part. They will be putting makeup on before each practice. What should I wear? Ps links would help

I’ve lost more than 10 000 EURO since 2005, and I could never win and get my money back.
Every month I make deposits on those websites, and I keep losing and losing everytime over and over again.
I usually play on soccer, tennis and basketball, especially on live-betting.
It’s like if those players and teams were losing on purpose, that’s unfair..

Does anybody know any tips, any advice, for getting my money back, and at last win money, I’m desperate because I have so many debts…My financial situation is a real desaster, a nightmare, and I’mtrying to find a solution…

Thank you in advance

I am thinking about betting on a few sports games and I was wondering if anyone had any advice or tips for using the BODOG site. It seems easy enough and pretty legit..just wondering if anyone has anything helpful for me! Best answer will get 10 for sure!

I made a bet with some girls on the volleyball team regarding how volleyball isn’t a real sport and girls not being good at sports anyway so I could beat them in volleyball. Needless to say, I didnt.

They will be checking and inspecting me everyday (including undergarments) to make sure I look the part. They will be putting makeup on before each practice. What should I wear?

I say New Orleans + 10.5 as I think LA Monroe has no business being favored by DD over anyone……..

West Carolina seems ok at +1

anyone else advice or suggestions?

Okay, here’s the deal. I am a cyclist, okay, no, I was a cyclist, not too serious, but i really, really love the sport and I used to do it a lot. On the other hand, I am a student, which means:
Student+workload=no social life (sad, I know)= no cycling :(

Now I made a deal with my one friend last year already, that at the end of this year we would go on a cycling tour. We have like all these little bets going on inside the deal, and to tell you the truth, I am so dead. I haven’t been cycling a lot at all and now I have to get back into shape before December…

Anyways, can anybody, and I mean anybody, please give me some advice on quick fitness and a good diet to go along… I am not desperate, so I don’t intend on hurting myself, but I would like to give him a run for his money… :)

Its been years since I have gone fishing. I have fallen back in love with the sport and I do it for relaxation. I have a retention pond behind my house that is stocked with plenty bluegil, sunfish, catfish, and which i didn’t expect bass. I can catch bluegil all day long. The bass is my issue right now. I spent all day fishing I can see the bass shoreline in the seaweed or in dark holes within the seaweed. What is the best time of day to catch bass and the best bait / lure to use. It wasn’t until 9 pm at night i caught a 16 inch bass with a night crawler in open water. What would be my best bet to catch one of these bass during the day. I have never really been just a bass fisherman but I am thinking I would like to learn. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

in any type of sport. I drafted 2 fantasy football teams and won 3 fantasy football championships. Yall got to step it up and stop denying Clinton Portis is a solid player and Westbrook IS the best RB in the NFL (with his receptions and rushes combined) and THAT VETERANS GET THE JOB DONE! look at Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Portis, Westbrook, and many other players. my fantasy advice DON’T DRAFT REGGIE BUSH and pray you aren’t playing against my next fantasy season because everyone in that league (besides me) will be shooting for 2nd at best.

QB’s Tony Romo, Drew Brees
RB Brian Westbrook, Clinton Portis, Fred Taylor
WR Reggie Wayne, Lav Coles, Joey Galloway
TE Algae Crumpler, Donald Lee
Def - Jaguars + Chargers (people the Chargers DEFENSE IS FANTASTIC) got that D off of waiver wire too DEE DEE DEEEE
K Nick Folk

lol people rated my fantasy team D+’s and C -’s before the season started. I bet you idiots took Bush in the 1st round too.
ALSO THE 2 BEST FANTASY PLAYERS ARE QB’s NOT RB’s!
in a row I’m speaking of course

Tom Brady #1 fantasy player and Tony Romo #2 not Ladanian Tomlinson and Stephen Jackson which those fantasy "experts" predicted actually I predicted that too but so did EVERYONE ELSE!

I’m in a football challenge. Every week I can pick 5 games & choose what team I want to win based on the point spread from USA Today. I had 3 wins & 2 losses my first week which isn’t exactly a spectacular start but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

So do you have any advice on what games I should pick for this weekend? I really wanted to go 5-0 my first week. I’m depressed. Help me. I can win ,000 at the end of the Season if I come in first. Thanks!

I need to get a 13:30 on my next 1.5 mile run in order to graduate from my training command. I’m a 19YO female and I’ve struggled with running my entire life. Even when I was participating in sports, I was usually the last one to finish my sprints. Is my best bet to go for distance running (2-3 mi) or to sprint. I’d appreciate hearing what has personally worked for you or if you have professional advice when it comes to training for runs. Thanks!

My ex (we were NEVER married) wants 2 bring me 2 court 2 fight 4 custody of our newborn son. I did not let him be put on the birth certificate and so he would 1st have 2 prove he’s the father. We have an older son, who is 2. We have joint sole and physical custody. I had agree’d 2 it because I never knew my rights and trusted him and his family. I wish I could change his custody but idk if I can ?

But he does have a new girlfriend he wants 2 marry and move in with and he has this dream of taking my kids (him and his mom have always threatend 2 take dem)…and living wit’ her. She has her own newborn, (not his). I have pix her dumbass posted on myspace of her being pregnant and smoking weed. I also have pix of my bd like I stated, smoking, rolling up, and gangbanging. He wants 2 fight 4 a child he did not want, he wanted me 2 get an abortion, and he was NEVA der 4 da baby while I was pregnant. I also heard his gf popped pills and snorted pills while she was preggo too. His father drinks and has many pix too, he’s only 20. And plus he’s always arguing and getting in2 fights wit’ his gfs bd cuz he claimes his gf is cheating wit’ him (her bd). My bd wants 2 apperenlty join the army 2. He is Native American. He graduated HS and is using his tribal check 2 get his new place. I am on welfare, unfortunetly, recieve no child support (because dat is y dey got joint custody in da 1st place), but I do have a job. He has no job. And he’s friends wit’ my boyfriend. He’s always trying 2 hang out wit’ my bf and even when I was preggo, he’d come ova 2 his house on da days he had our oldest ! Meaning he wanted 2 come ova (usually he was drunk or high) and chill wit’ him, instead of be wit’ his son at home ! Now he has dat girl living wit’ him at his mom’s house. Idk…any advice ?? Can I use all those pix ???

I’m sorry about my spelling…I can write, I just wanted to explain everything as shortly as possible !! But yes I cans spell and write perfectly. I’m sorry for the misunderstanding !!!

And by "gangbanging" I mean…he has pictures of himself, or him and a group of people throwing up gang signs and sporting their bandana’s and colors…plus I bet I could even print out copies of him talking about "getting at" someone and about him using drugs and such…he does comment his bis alot on myspace.

I can just clearly see that if he moves out…my children won’t be in a good enviornment…I’m sure he’ll be doing all of what he already does just in his own (unsuperived) place now…and if his gf smoked and popped while she was pregnant, how good of a step mother could she really be to my children ??????

I on the otherhand stay away from "the party scene", I am 21 btw. Because I want to do more with my life "than that". I just don’t know what I can really do about this situation !

I could probably reopen my oldest sons case since there is a change, ei him wanting to move out on his own instead, right ?

Looking to try sports betting online and the most good reviews pointed to BookMaker.com from what I saw. So for anyone that has used it…

Do you have to place a bet often or for example could I bet a couple games this week and never bet again?
What is the fee when they payout?
Will a debit card from a bank work or do banks in the US not accept online betting charges any more?

Any other reviews or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’m looking to buy a bike. I am very new I will be riding with my mother in law who rides road bikes on weekends however during the week I will be using the bike on paved roads and also about 1 mile of dirt roads. Would a Hybrid be the best bet for this begginer? I did test ride a specialized globe sport but wondering if anyone has any reccomendations. I really don’t want to get left behind when riding with my mother in law :)

My budget well I’d like to keep it under 0 for the bike, hopefully it is possible. Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

I am an intermediate and looking to get better, I ski east coast and I don’t really have a style of skiing that I would classify myself in yet, I like to go fast and I like to carve on separate occasions. I am 16, 5′9" 135 lbs. I am looking at K2 Four, K2 Commanche, K2 Omni-Sport, Salomon Verse, Volkl V1 and V2, Volkl Vertigo, Atomic Beta Carve 8.18. I really have no idea which skis to choose from so any advice on what would be my best bet would be great, ranking the skis for me as well on best fit would be fantastic too. Anyone who has a pair of skis that I listed above feel free to give some input.

Thanks for the help.
I ski about 5-10 times a year.

Ok i have heard all the crazy stories about this website.. i have made 2 deposites of 100$ and lost it all on sport bets. Anyway i just want to hear from people who use this site and what they think about it? When you win a big bet a ask for a payout do u get it or do you have problems getting your money.. I dont know if i should stay with betus or not give me some advice thanks.

I’m a senior at a good high school, and I was wondering whether or not I can get into Emory since it’s a great school, is located instate, and has a beautiful campus. I am really betting on getting into this school (my backup is Georgia Tech).

(By the way, if I want to pursue med school, should I go to Emory or GA Tech? Georgia tech has a much more rigorous science program, but I’m really scared that it’s too hardcore for me…)

Okay, so for stats, my rank pretty much sucks. I’m right outside 15%, but I’m like, 90% sure I can bring it to top 15% (since right now, its around 15.5% out of around 630 students). My low rank is mainly because of three B’s (85, 86 in Pre-Calculus, and 89 in AP Chemistry first semester) and I took non-honors Spanish so I couldn’t get the 7 points for honors class.
My GPA is alright, it’s basically a 3.89, (hopefully a 3.9 if I get all A’s this semester in senior year).
SAT’s - 800 Math, 690 Reading, 800 Writing = 2290.
SAT 2’s (this is where I REALLY lack) - 760 Chemistry, 750 Math I (but I saw that Emory doesn’t require SAT 2’s… only recommend).
I should be graduating with 9 AP’s (World History, Lang, Chemistry, Calculus AB, Environmental Science, Calculus BC, Literature, Physics B, and Statistics)
All 5’s on the exams I have taken thus far (World, Lang, Chemistry, Calc AB).

As for extracurricular activities (I lack in this also) I basically only have a 4 year letter in Varsity Track. I hold three sprinting positions, 4×100m, 400m, 4×400m. I have held three school records, 2 past, 1 current. I basically dedicated my after school time to this sport.
I also participated in the school’s girl’s powderpuff team (Junior/Senior year, Running back) and we won. (it was class against class).
Other than that, I was part of Key Club, Interact Club, and World Relief for about one year each, that’s it.

As for a job, I took a summer job at a SAT tutoring place and taught Math for SAT 1. I basically had full workdays (from 9AM to 5-7PM) and worked an average of 40-45 hrs a week.

that’s it… I realized that I lack in extracurricular, SAT 2, and rank, but I’m hoping that I’d still be able to pull through… any advice?

Also, what about Johns Hopkins?
By the way, I’m Korean. (I know that’s not supposed to have a great effect on admissions, but I understand that Emory has a large pool of East Asian applicants, so it probably makes it harder for me…)

I started noticing china bashing right before the olympics in beijing.

The media continually mentioned the Tibet March against china, and made it their feature story for several days. It kept showing the protests and it didn’t even actually explain what the reason was for this march. the media just pretty much made it seem like it was china’s fault, which it was really not. It was a random act of rebellion from Tibet. Propaganda at its best.
Everyone who believes in it is a victim of brainwashing.
March Riot in Tibet was another plot to get the western population to hate China. Dalai Lama visited the U.S. not too long before it took place. Mobs burn down shops, cars, beating Han Chinese to death. Yet western anti-china propaganda made it look like the other way around.
And then when the olympics really came around, the media, after finishing their sports coverage, started showing the pollution, CDI and traffic. It actually said the pollution was at lethal levels, but they are totally incorrect. I returned to China a year or so ago and there was nothing wrong with the air. i haven’t seen a single person get sick or even be affected at all by this so called "lethal pollution"

and it showed the traffic and all the people crowded there, but never did it show the chinese spirit, or any of the AMAZING food they serve. I am serious the food they have is amazing. everywhere I go i see restaurants serving tasty food. plus, everyone is set on bashing communism, when really, a government is good as long as it works and allows its population to live happily. And you know what, democracy isn’t all that its cracked up to be. Think about it. Can you really trust the general population of America to make a real educated decision about politics that they cannot keep up with? Democracy works in the beginning, but the longer a democratic society goes on, the less voting spirit people have. Think about it. Do you really even bother when it comes to voting on some boring law that probably won’t affect you at all? Communism in some people’s minds is just an image of people dying and fire and explosions everywhere. the corrupted communist governments are giving us Chinese a bad reputation. i bet you that the majority of people in China are satisfied with their country. It won’t really make a difference whether or not china switches to democracy, and you know what, I can guarantee you that if that happens, a sizable amount of people won’t even bother to vote and leave it to the government anyways. and you know what? I’d rather to return to China and be with my family, good food and nice people

… *Sigh* problem is, I have been here since I was 2, so even though I can speak chinese, I cannot read or write it. Therefore, I am trapped here.

Once, I got sick, and I had to wait over 5 hours in a hospital, and I still didn’t get in. Nobody cared. they just wrote down your appointment, made you sit down for hours, and then when you decide to leave, they make you sign a form saying "I have left the hospital against the advice of the nurse."

In china, it may be expensive, but it pays off in the end. better health care. better education. better food. better roads. when I got sick in a chinese hospital, you just waited for 10 minutes, they treated you immediately, instead of making you wait in the room for ANOTHER HOUR, and in a few minutes you were ready to go, prescription and all.

The office manager at our doctor’s office today told us that we were no longer welcome as patients and that he had the authority to "discharge" us after we’d been seeing this physician for over 3 years.
He was quite rude about it in fact. I’m willing to bet that the physician doesn’t know that he has told us this. But the doc WILL find out, believe me.

We’ve had many problems with this office manager before and with the other person in the office as well. We’ll call asking for an appointment and never hear back from them; we’ve gotten into the habit of stopping in at the office to ask for appointments since they are very bad at returning calls. They also don’t call with lab results or follow up. In fact, the doctor even told us to stop in if we couldn’t get through or didn’t hear from the staff. He told us that directly.

The "last straw" was reached today. After waiting for 5 days for someone from the office to call us back to make an appointment we finally went over and the "you-know-what" hit the fan in front of other patients who were nodding in agreement with what we were saying.

This office manager kept wanting to know what we wanted to talk to the doctor about "or else I can’t make an appointment for you". I thought that was ‘privileged information’ between the physician and his patient; aren’t the details of a consultation private? The fact that it was about our health should be the only concern of this office manager, right? I mean, its not like we were stopping by to just talk about sports or something…

The doctor is very good but he is hamstring by his office staff. We’ve talked to him a number of times about the problems we’ve encountered and he always says, "Yes, I know– it’s awful, isn’t it?" He maintains that every time he fires someone they take him to court!

We have already located another physician locally, one who seems to have a more professional staff and we’ll be seeing him as soon as the records are transferred over to him. By the way, can WE take the records over or must they be sent by our former doctor’s office to the new one? Can they be released to US?

So do we have any recourse as far as this office manager goes? Should we write or e-mail the doc and let him know what happened today and why we won’t be seeing him again? We really do like him and have received pretty good care from him in the past.

I guess I just want to get even. I know of other people who have left because of this very same problem. It is a real shame.

Anyway, your advice would be helpful as well as some insight.

Sorry to vent!

Thank YOU!
Forgot to mention that the doc and the office manager are very, VERY good friends.

And I did have a concern about a medication I was on that I wanted to talk with the doc about. I had told the office manager that during my initial call.

Looks is not the thing I look for in a girl. I like a girl who is smart/nerdy/curious/open minded/etc. That’s my type of girl. Don’t get me wrong I like the girl to care about her looks. But she doesn’t have to look like a model for me to like her. As long as she is not a complete mess.

I’m pretty smart myself. I love school and even though I wear glasses I don’t exactly look like a nerd. I’m pretty well built cause I LOVE sports. I have dated some really pretty girls before but not the smart ones that I really like. It’s been pretty hard for me to meet smart/nerdy girls because they think I’m just like all other guys. Like they think I lost a bet or something so they don’t even get me a chance

I just need some advice on how I can get a chance with a girl like that
