Our guest host today is Terry. He has a sense of humour similar to my own. Poor bastard. Don't hold that against him, though. He has a great blog you need to visit:

So, without further ado, onto Terry's entry.

My first ever guest host spot. And I must admit, that it is quite an honor. I imagine that it's probably how Jay Leno felt when guest hosting the Tonight Show for Johnny Carson. Of course, the major difference here being that Jay is talented, humorous, rich, and intelligent… but I'd really rather not dwell on all this right now.

Now, with the guest host spot comes a major responsibility. For a brief moment, I have the opportunity to leave my mark. A major impact. Send out a message of great importance. So to prepare, I felt the need to educate myself on the pressing topics of the day. Naturally, this led me to the newspaper. What better way to pick a topic then to read through my daily periodical? So I sat down with the paper this morning and prepared to read it from cover to cover. But it seemed pretty thick. So in the end, all I actually ended up reading were the baseball standings and the comics.

Still, I needed to get up to speed on the national issues, and besides, newspapers are so very old fashioned… I needed something more technologically savvy, which led me to the internet. Deciding that I would use today's forum to weigh in on my thoughts concerning further space exploration, I went to Google and typed in "Mars" to see what I could find… and what should appear before my eyes but a site claiming that there is life on Mars! 'Babes on Mars', to be exact. Clearly, this was a site which needed my attention. Well, let me tell you, those Mars Babes are incredibly hot! And judging by their lack of clothing, I don't just mean hot in a "perfectly sculpted bodies, ample breasts, and closely shaved areas" sense, but in a temperature sense, as well.

As I'm sure you're well aware, when in the pursuit for knowledge, time just seems to fly by. And before I knew it, I had spent over three hours studying up on Mars. By now, I realized that I was in a pinch. Here I was with my golden opportunity to really get across some important message, and I had nothing! I frantically made a mental list of all the things that I know a great deal about which consists of old Bugs Bunny cartoons and candy bars… when suddenly, it came to me: drugs!

     They are bad… VERY bad!

Perfect! A valid, well argued point. I must admit, I now know how Billy Crystal must feel after he aces one of those Oscar shows that he hosts… the good ones, I mean… not the ones that sucked. And to think, I almost wasted my big chance by making absolutely no point whatsoever! Man, I'’m glad that I work so well under pressure.
