for several weeks. The news was good it was going to rain for the next
36 hours. We had been practicing for this day, Linda and I would drive
to the park, and there we would take turns walking around the park with
our eyes closed. Then we tried it blindfolded. One day we decided to blindfold
both of us, this way we could not depend on the other. Then we did it alone
while the other watched from the parking lot. We did this about every other
day, some people would ask us what we were doing, we told them we were
doing a confidence course.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>I Will control you</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/i-will-control-you/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/i-will-control-you/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I Will Control You by Spike Jones&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had just started my greatest dream. I won the lottery and was set
for life. I could travel to all the places in the world I wanted to see.
I could buy anything on impulse. I could look any way I wanted. I had my
passport and my Concord flight to London England.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had a couple of days free in New York city. I asked the limo driver
if he knew any wild places.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sir Vincent's Christmas Party</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/sir-vincents-christmas-party/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/sir-vincents-christmas-party/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I always celebrate Christmas by throwing a party for my Slaves. This
year I closed the store Friday night before Christmas and will be closed
until the Monday after New Years. I always give my slaves airline tickets
to go home and return for Christmas Eve. That is except the ones who earned
a lot of demerits. These stay and decorate for my party and anyone who
wants stay in town. After Christmas I take the ten top outstanding slaves
on my jet to one of my island homes. I have eight island resorts. Five
are an island in itself. The others are at least 10 isolated acres. The
island officials are invited so no one has any complaints. There we have
a good time entertaining some clients and friends. They are invited to
bring some of their slaves for entertainment. In all there is about 200
to 300 party goers.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
