So, after listening to the original Last Kiss.. I can't decide which I prefer.

It's really pretty easy, IMHO. Pearl Jam's cover is alright, and it does a decent job of updating the song for the 90s and making it 'theirs', but it doesn't match the original as far as mood goes. The original is a product of a bygone era in rock music and will stand the test of time.

I'm having major deja vu right now, and the creepy thing is that the original occurrence of this thought or whatever was probably September, way before I was dating PB. WineTastesFunky!

Wisconsin Tourism Federation indeed.

Then again, I make no claims to having original thoughts. :o

Have you crept into my head to steal my thoughts??


This is just a random story, but I have to share. So, my sorority house is haunted. We've got three ghosts that we know of. One would be the man who owned the house. Another is the little boy that lived there. And the third (and coolest) is the old maid, Alice. The man has been seen at the end of our 2nd floor hallway, and we feel that he's probably responsible for anything destructive that has happened (breaking of picture frames, etc.) Basically, anything scary. The little boy is only ever noticed in this special situation: apparently he's autistic or has down syndrome or something, so when his parents would have parties (late 1800s, early 1900s) he would be locked in the closet upstairs. Now, if you close that closet door & turn the light off, you can hear him crying. Alice just does cool things like pops up randomly in the maid's quarters and opens locked doors for us, and such.
Anyways, I was supposed to move into the house next semester, but decided not to. I was going to move into a room on the third floor. Everyone is gone for the holidays.. I drove by the house yesterday and all lights in the house were turned off except the one in the room where I was supposed to live. Creepy or just Alice trying to convince me to live in the house? Idk. I'm a little freaked though.

Nice. I used to work at Glensheen Mansion in Duluth, which is where there was a double homicide back in the late 70s. As a tour guide/assistant manager-type, I often worked late for parties and weddings. The stuff I saw/experienced still makes the hair on my neck stand on end. Motion detectors in multiple rooms would be going off while I was trying to arm the security system, lights would come back on after they were turned off, roller-snap shades would go up on their own (in ORDER!), stuff would be moved from place-to-place when I closed up to when I opened up the next morning.....but far and away, the worst night was when I was working alone and every light in one room was turned back on. Including lights that we don't turn on for safety reasons (old wiring, antique lampshade, etc.). I got up all of the courage I could, went SPRINTING up the stairs, hurdled the ropes, turned off a lamp, pulled a plug for some Christmas lights, turned around and saw the lamp between the beds was on. Thing is, that lamp isn't plugged in. Ever. It wasn't until the next morning that I was told this. I went back up into that room, and a Christmas decoration-type doll was moved from across the room and was lying on the floor next to the nightstand the lamp was on. Creepy as h*ll.

That just made MY hair stand on end!!!
There's a place here called the Laurium Manor Inn, built by a ritzy mining exec back in the day. Now a bed and breakfast, I guess the place was once owned by a funeral home director or something of that sort... Apparently he killed his wife, mentally challenged grandson, & himself... Yeah. The stories I've heard from former housekeepers there are just the slightest bit creepy.

When my grandpa passed away in his mid-40's, it was right around Christmastime. Not only did his pocketwatch stop at the EXACT time that he died, but that whole Christmas season, anytime someone left the living room, a small pillow decoration that he had bought for my grandma fell off of the mantle.

I am on the fence about ghosts/hauntings. I take picture evidence with a very large grain of salt. The stories are interesting though. Glensheen is neat, and don't forget about Hibbing High School! This guy is seen after hours in the auditorium quite often, and always in the same seat:



I think it's Rorschach.

I wouldn't be surprised if you revealed that you had first hand knowledge of the dong in question.
