	Hells Angels member pleads guilty WESTBORO — A Hells Angels member yesterday plead guilty to a charge of carrying a blackjack and was ordered to pay $250 in court costs. Ernest A. Merlino Jr., 44, of Middletown, Conn., plead guilty in Westboro District Court to a charge of carrying a dangerous weapon, and the charge was continued without a finding for six months. Mr. Merlino was riding with some fellow Hells Angels members June 10 when state police received a cell phone call from a motorist on Interstate 290 complaining that motorcyclists were cutting in front of cars and driving recklessly. A trooper working a construction detail on I-290 stopped nine motorcyclists who were members of the Hells Angels. Two were arrested, including Mr. Merlino. The Rock Kills Off Hope Of Another WWE Run Story By: Ryan Cain Source: PWTorch In a recent interview with popular movie website FreezeDriedMovies.com, The Rock killed off any hope there was that he may have another run with WWE. Although he denied a report that he would never wrestle another match, he gave the impression that there is no chance of him wrestling on a semi-regular basis ever again. Here's what he had to say when asked about competing at WrestleMania: "No, probably not. Maybe an appearance. As far as for wrestling, I love that and I love that live crowd interaction. But I got into movies to grow professionally and become good at what I was doing. And it's all about that for me."

A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing." What do they say?" the priest inquired. They say, "Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?" "That's obscene!" the priest exclaimed; then he thought for a moment. "You know," he said, "I may have a solution to your problem. I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible. "Bring your two parrots over to my house, and we'll put them in the cage with Frank and Jacob. My parrots can teach your parrots to pray and worship, and your parrots are sure to stop saying that phrase in no time." "Thank you," the woman responded, "this may very well be the solution." The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest's house. As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage, holding rosary beads and praying. Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them. After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison: "Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?" There was stunned silence. Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and exclaimed, "Put the beads away, Frank, our prayers have been answered."

WORD of the DAY
homologate \hoh-MAH-luh-gayt\ verb : sanction, allow; especially : to approve or confirm officially Example sentence: "On September 24, 1991, a judgment confirming and homologating the sale was issued...." (C & G Constr., Inc. v. Valteau, Court of Appeal of La., 4th circuit) Did you know? Who needs "homologate"? We have any number of words that mean "to officially approve something": "accredit," "affirm," "approbate," "authorize," "certify," "confirm," "endorse," "ratify," "sanction," "warrant," and "validate," for example. "Homologate," which has been around more than 400 years, has mostly been kept for special occasions; Scottish Law, for example, held that "a marriage contract, though defective in the legal solemnities, is held... to be homologated by the subsequent marriage of the parties." The beauty of "homologate" is that, etymologically speaking, it's an easy word, consisting as it does of the familiar Greek roots "homos," meaning "alike" or "same," and "logos," meaning "word" or "speech" — in other words, "saying the same thing," thus, "agreeing." So we need not agree with the Scottish bishop who in 1715 called it a "hard word." *Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.
