LOL Lunger, that reminds me of a video clip that was doing the rounds on the emails this week. it starts with this guy waking up and suddenly realising he's in a stranger's room and there is someone in the shower. he then spots a red pair of knickers which he starts pulling from under the duvet. he's all smiles and happy until they turn out to be a monster pair of knickers and he realises that his arm is handcuffed to the bed. the water stops and he's starts shaking and fighting to get the cuffs off. funny sheeit. u got away lightly!

LSU is making its third trip to the SEC championship game in the last five years. LSU and Georgia played for the title in 2003, with the Tigers winning a 34-13 blowout on their way to the national championship.
As much as the Bulldogs have persevered this season, perhaps no team in the country has gone through what the Tigers have this season and are still in the position to win a championship.
First, Hurricane Katrina cut a path of destruction through New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. Hurricane Rita blasted through several weeks later.
The month of September was a nightmarish whirlwind.
The Tigers didn't know when they were going to practice, where they were going to play and when they were going to play.
"I think we've had a little more riding on our shoulders," LSU senior defensive tackle Kyle Williams said. "We've had an opportunity to bring back a little more spirit to our state, and we've kind of dedicated our season to our state."
With all of the rescheduling because of the hurricanes, LSU played just two games in September, the second of which could have been disastrous. The Tigers blew a 21-point halftime lead to Tennessee and lost 30-27 in overtime at home.
There was restlessness and genuine concern on the Bayou. Les Miles, in only his second game after taking over for Nick Saban, couldn't have gotten off to a shakier start. But the Tigers picked up the pieces bit by bit and -- nine consecutive wins later -- here they are. Most impressively, they've played 10 straight weeks without a break.
"All of our backgrounds in coaching are to eliminate distractions," said Miles, doing his best to describe what September was like for his club. "That's the standard rule. But in this particular instance, you could not deny it.
"There were helicopters going overhead. There were volunteer armed forces. There was no denying that there was a real-life drama going on beside us."
On the field, the Tigers seemed to revel in the drama. They survived against Auburn in overtime and took down Alabama in overtime three weeks later, thanks to JaMarcus Russell's clutch touchdown pass.
The most harrowing moment for the Tigers, though, might have come last Friday when they had to thwart an Arkansas drive in the final minutes to escape with a 19-17 win. "Like this team has done all year, when we needed to get it done with whatever unit happened to be on the field, we got it done," Miles said.
Generally, though, defense has been the unit of choice for the Tigers. During their nine-game winning streak, they haven't given up more than 17 points.
The Tigers, fourth in the latest BCS Standings, are at least in the position to climb into one of the top two spots in the final standings and play in the Rose Bowl for the national championship.
For that to happen, they probably need to win impressively over the Bulldogs, to help their cause in vaulting past No. 3 Penn State in the BCS standings and then have either Texas or Southern Cal lose this weekend.
A long shot? Probably.
But back on Sept. 26, the Tigers were a long shot to even be thinking about an SEC title.
