It’s fundraising time for Kentucky Educational Television. (At least two oxymorons?) This means they are rolling out the concert and special event programming.
I am captivated by the Celtic Woman group. I’ve watched bits and pieces of the concert the past few evenings (they always lose me during the pitch [...]
As always the payoff for this cheesy vid is right at the end. It’s 49 seconds, but worth it.
Totally. Recto Verso is a method of printing, primarily banknotes. This certainly has a money shot (not in the NSFW sense.)
Of course La Mode, is “with ice cream.” This video [...]
I’m not a huge viewer of Vlogs because nobody in my RSS uses Vlogs. I suspect a lot of us have experimented with posting a video of us being our charming and witty selves, but 1. only had the guts to do one try and 2. were shocked [...]
I spent all day Sunday opening one of my birthday presents, a new CD: Steve Martin’s new album “The Crow, New Songs for the Five-String Banjo.” It was a birthday gift from Bulbous and St. Todd DeCubville and I love it. Even though I haven’t heard all the tunes.
From the people who charge you 8.9% to count your loose change comes the best deal you will see this year.
Take your coins to Coinstar, select that you want to redeem your coins for a certificate from a participating retailer, and Coinstar will send you a $10 rebate.
“Unfriend” is the word of the year, as declared by the New Oxford American Dictionary.
Congressional correspondent Luke Russert (and son of St. Timothy of Buffalo) corrected the “Unfriend” report saying, “the kids say ‘Defriend.’ Oxford Dictionary should find that out.”
This would make a utterly fascinating bar chart or pie chart or simple graph. Alas, I am incapable of making such a graph using OpenOffice. I used to be a whiz at making such things using Microsoft Excel.
But I use Excel so little, I let the license lapse and [...]
Not being a jock (or a geek) in high school or college, I always love it when the jocks end up looking stupider than a bag of rocks. Nice hands dumbass. Love the ref’s look of pride!
Yeah, it’s not enough to have the idea early, one must follow-up and do the work to make a million bucks off an idea.
I’ve been cracking wise about my first mis-reading of Sarah Palin’s Book Going Rogue as Going Rouge.
The Early Show’s vet/animal correspondent Debbye Turner Bell gets splashed by a beaver. I don’t see any dams nearby, so I’m guessing this was an “early go” on an Early Show Beaver, by an Early Show beaver.
I’m still rehabilitating my knee. Rather, tiny Mary Anne is trying to do chinups hanging from my calf while I lay on my back.
Imagine: they actually want the knee to bend!
Dur.
It bent before the Total Knee Replacement (ta-da-dummmmmmmm).
As a matter of fact, it bent better and with [...]
CBS announced that the tweets from Justin Halpern’s “father” which he puts on Twitter as ShitMyDadSays has gotten a huge offer from CBS to be a sitcom. Since young (29) Halpern is a senior editor at Maxim.com and says he lives at home and ShitMyDadSays only has about 80 [...]
Doc, my friend who is fifty-three had a heart attack last Friday. He has a very important job working to keep up mental health among the troops stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY. This keeps him away from home during the week, so he has an apartment near the base.
Earlier, 3:20 a.m., to be exact, I started writing this uproariously funny blog post (in my head.) It had it all, a bit of mystique, wonder, fascination wrapped with tons of clever repartee.
Links? I had dozens of them. This would bring dozens and dozens, perhaps even hundreds of new [...]
We live near an interstate and often jump on exit 26 near our house and run down to exit 24 to avoid low-speed traffic. We also like to go to Nashvegas fairly often on the interstate.
And you have wondered the same thing when you are sharing the road with the [...]
AP – Retail gasoline prices chugged higher Friday to a new peak for the year, forcing consumers to dig deeper into already-thin wallets to pay for fuel.
OSHA fines BP a record [...]
For bigger tips, servers in restaurants should follow these guidelines from the New York Times via The Savvy Boomer…
Examples:
7. Do not announce your name. No jokes, no flirting, no cuteness.
8. Do not interrupt a conversation. For any reason. (emphasis mine) Especially not to recite specials. Wait [...]
Number of comments: 1 Bulbous decided that she is just sick and tired of blowing her nose in the morning. We have concluded she needs a nose catheter. I’m thinking we could adapt her CPAP hose and mask for the purpose.
I just need to get an electricial engineer to reverse the polarity on the [...]
Didja know that there was a Mother Clap that ran a hooker house for gay boys in London in the 1700s? Mother Margaret Clap ran a “Molly House.” If this ever shows up on the NYT Crossword, you’re welcome.
Bodacious Boomer mentioned her living conditions many of us have endured. The existence of a Home Owner’s Association (HOA – pronounced ho-ah, like some one from Boston would call a whore. Ho-ah) Usually every HOA had at least one Benita:
She’d actually park her car in front of each house [...]
As with all good medical health problem bloggers, no sordid detail will be left out about my Total Knee Replacement (ta-da-dummmmmmm)
Thanks for your comments here and on FB. I won’t respond each one because my fine motor skills are shot. I even missed my nostril and ended up picking an [...]
I’m pretty sure that’s how I feel today after my Total Knee Replacement (ta da dummmmm). I’ve been promised some pretty good drugs, so I may be blogging away like a madman!
Put your links or jokes in the comments please. I’ll be well into the drugs after my Total Knee Replacement (ta-da-dummmmm) by the time I get a chance to read them, so I’m sure I will think each and every joke will be riotously hilarious.
Here’s one St. Todd DeCubbville [...]
Uh oh.
If you’ve noticed my new pop-up ads, blame Macanudo Cigars. I got this free sample pack of four cigars, and liked them all. And since they are a little pricier than my usual cigar, you have to chip in.
When I planned on having my Total Knee Replacement (ta-da-dummmmm) I planned it for this time of year. Normally October in Kentucky is about 70 degrees, low humidity and nice breezes. Great weather to sit outside and ponder the benefits of a Total Knee Replacement.
Nancy announced yesterday that at noon today we were going to see The Informant.
When we showed up at the box office, (I met her there) she said we were going to see The Invention of Lying. I questioned her and she got flustered and said, no, she mean she [...]
Bye-Bye Birdie is reappearing on Broadway after being played in community theaters and high schools for decades after the show closed in 1961. By today’s standards, the 607 Broadway performances would be considered pretty unremarkable.
But add in the tens of thousands of times Bye Bye Birdie has been acted by [...]
I’ve never had a Total Knee Replacement, (ta da dummmmmm) so I’m taking advice from anybody who has been through it, is going to go through a Total Knee Replacement, knows somebody that went through it, or is thinking about going through a Total Knee Replacement for a great [...]
patient was being wheeled down to the operating theatre, and the nurses and anaesthetist were discussing the impending operation. The patient had to butt into their conversation to point out that their information [...]
Okeedokee, after being told a decade ago I probably needed (resisted urge to spell that kneaded) to have my left knee totally replaced, I’m doing it, with the help of Dr. Patton.
I was fifty when I had the first prognosis from Dr. Patton so getting a total knee replacement seemed [...]
The fact that the local postal workers union, and I guess some UAW members and other union members, picketed the closing of the local mail sorting branch on a day the post office was closed to celebrate the Italian Stallion’s birthday is fitting.
Remember the desk Sargent on Hill Street Blues that ended every morning meeting with: Let’s Be Careful Out There?
Owen Schmitt is way to young to recall that. Perhaps, this is your brain on drugs? No, he’s still too young to remember that. Hmmm, Shania Twain had a song “Don’t Be [...]
I now have 33 active WordPress Plugins. Thirty friggin’ three. I remember when Kirk had to hold my hand to install a plugin. Back in the WordPress 2.1 days. Now WordPress has made it easy and painless.
What’s interesting about the logo change is that Google’s (Google) official birthday is somewhat disputed: some often declare the company was born on September 15th 1997, the day the Google.com domain [...]
A turf track for horses nearby is having some time on Saturday for dogs to run on the track. We thought about taking Derby because he is fearless and still likes to run. And we got him on Kentucky Derby Day, so he is our ‘horse.’
Others:
The last time I hit a spike like this was on DogsWithCones.com, when DListed.com sent everybody to “caption this” on a naked man with cone sitting beside his naked weimaraner with cone.
My Londoner friend, Miss Cakehead of CakeheadLovesEvil.com (weirdly, wildly wicked) is working for AVG Scanner on a marketing campaign and found a rarity: men multitasking.
Actually they are hackers, and one has his attention diverted by a set of boobs.
I was on campus the other day (which I try to avoid like H1N1 because everybody is so damn young) and the Gideons were everywhere. There must have been 100 old white guys standing at every crosswalk offering everyone that passed a New Testament bible.
What a great fun movie: Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Hope it shows up on a movie channel unedited – and in hi def soon. Haven’t seen it in ages.
27. Do you prefer to sleep or eat? Now this is interesting. Thought-provoking. Aside from the life -sustaining aspect of each, I would say I prefer to eat because I get more enjoyment from eating.
Edward Abbey’s 1975 novel, The Monkey Wrench Gang. Abbey’s work, was a fictional novel
about four nature lovers who decide to wage relentless war against America’s manic desire to spread the industrial system into every corner of the country.
Answers.com offers that, because of the novel, “the [...]
I’m sure, if you’ve read blogs a lot, you’ve stumbled across a woman (it’s always a woman) writing about the intimate details of her love life. No not those pron sites, the Mommy Bloggers who just have to let you know how wonderful their sex life is and how romantic [...]
It’s been quite a while ago since I first installed Magic Jack. I use Magic Jack for a couple things: when the other phone line is busy, or when I need to make a long distance call to Bangalore to ask Boompa to help me [...]
That’s why I fear listening to Europe’s 80s monster-rock hit, ‘The Final Countdown.’ It’s literally impossible to get it out of your head once you hear it
I love pop concerts, mashing orchestras with pop music. Headbanging cello players. Awesome.
Nothing like a hugely successful Broadway play, that sells out for three weeks in Nashville, which I didn’t really care for, to make me seem soooo out of it.
Wicked wasn’t.
I didn’t know much about the play before we saw it Saturday, except that it is the prequel to the Wizard [...]
Don’t screw around on Fox News, like Glenn Beck does, and expect nobody to notice. ColorOfChange, was watching and when Glenn Beck called President Obama a racist, with a “deep hatred of white people” they sprung into action.
So far 57 advertisers have listened to Color [...]
