Song of the Day:
All the world is a stage (world is a stage)
And everyone has their part (has their part)
But how was I to know which way the story'd go
How was I to know you'd break
(You'd break, you'd break, you'd break)
You'd break my heart
I've always been in love with you
(I've always been in love with you)
Guess you've always known
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye
That Day in History (Monday):
In 1775, the United States Army was founded.
In 1777, the Continental Congress in Philadelphia adopted the Stars and Stripes as the national flag.
In 1846, a group of U.S. settlers in Sonoma proclaimed the Republic of California. Jed Clampett could not be reached for comment.
In 1940, in German-occupied Poland, the Nazis opened their concentration camp at Auschwitz.
In 1943, the Supreme Court ruled schoolchildren could not be compelled to salute the flag of the United States if doing so conflicted with their religious beliefs.
In 1954, 50 years ago, President Eisenhower signed an order adding the words "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance.
This Day in History (Tuesday):
In 1775, the Second Continental Congress voted unanimously to appoint George Washington head of the Continental Army.
In 1844, Charles Goodyear received a patent for his process to strengthen rubber. (No, not that.)
In 1864, Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton signed an order establishing a military burial ground, which became Arlington National Cemetery.
In 1978, King Hussein of Jordan married 26-year-old American Lisa Halaby, who became Queen Noor.
As you can see, King Hussein did pretty dang well for himself.
In 1993, former Texas Governor John Connally, who was wounded in the gunfire that killed President Kennedy, died at age 76.
Word of the Day:
tarradiddle \tair-uh-DID-uhl\, noun:
1. A petty falsehood; a fib.
2. Pretentious nonsense.
Shakespeare Quote of the Day:
Brabantio: Look to her. Moor, if thou hast eyes to see:
She has deceiv'd her father, and may thee.
Othello: My life upon her faith!
(Othello Act I, SC. III)
Coca-Cola launches C2
This weekend, the neighbors threw a graduation party for Neighborhood Nanny. Parched by the summer heat, I thought I'd go rummaging around in the ice box. (No comments about ex-girlfriends here....) My findings turned up a familiar yet bizarre can of carbonated soda. Turns out that the fine people at Coca-Cola Bottling Co. have released a new product that snuck under my radar. C2, they call it. Not knowing anything about it, I cracked it open and eagerly chugged down a swallow or two.
When my taste buds revived from the shock, I was able to recover enough to note a strange aftertaste, similar to the aftertaste you get with a diet or Caffine Free soda. However, this one reminded me instead of the taste of the old New York Seltzer drinks that were popular during the late 80's.
The initial taste is quite a bit different than your regular Coca Cola as well, as though they're using a different sweetener than the sugar or corn syrup that they usually use. Well, that makes sense, since it's "1/2 of the carbs, 1/2 of the calories".
The carb diets have gone too far, my friends. If you're drinking enough soda for it to greatly affect your carb intake for a day, then maybe you have some other dietary issues. And when you threaten my original formula Coca-cola....you've crossed a line, bub. Cherry Coke, Vanilla coke...acceptable variations on a theme. C2 is a bastardized Frankenstein's monster that should not see the light of day again.
Krempe: [voiceover] "You fool, Victor Frankenstein of Geneva, how could you know what you had unleashed? How was it pieced together? Bits of thieves? It's of murderers? Evil stitched to evil stitched to evil. God help your loved ones. "
Still,I'd drink 3 gallons of it before a drop of Pepsi would pass my lips.
NBA Finals
I'm no fan of the Pistons or Rasheed Wallace. I hated the 1989 and 1990 Bad Boys Pistons teams of Lambeer and Rodman, and Thomas et al. Rasheed Wallace is a malcontent and hardly a reputable human being, save for his occasional basketball skills.
And yet I find myself pulling for them to win this series. Well, correction. I'm not cheering for them, as much as it is I am cheering for "Anyone But The Lakers". AS of right now, it's "ABTL" 3 games to the Lakers 1 game in a best of 7 series.
As bad as Rasheed Wallace may be, he's not the admitted adulterer (though I'm not naive enough to think that he couldn't be) and alleged rapist that Kobe Bryant is. That sort of action simply can't be allowed to be rewarded with a championship trophy. And if it prevents Karl Malone and Gary Payton from getting a ring, so much the better. The fact that they figured they could just sign with the Lakers and breeze their way to a ring was rather...presumptuous. especially Malone. It was so blatantly obvious why he jumped ship from Utah, and a rather ugly divorce from a place that revered him as much as they did.
So tonight I'll be cheering for Anybody but the Lakers. It just so happens that happens to be the Pistons.
15 year old kid donates "life force" to brother
A recent story seen on www.fark.com detailed the family strife of one Kevin Nettle and his wife. Try as they might, they were unable to conceive a baby on their own. WHat to do?
Why, turn to his 15 year old brother, naturally! Now, beveroe you get concerned about his wife sleeping with her underage brother in law, they decided on the method of artificial insemination. Which means that all the 15 year old Cody had to do was what came natrually to him. (No pun intended.) Only this time, it was in a clinic with a collection cup. And probably better "inspiriation material" than he was able to get on his own, being 15 and all.
Now, before any of you get the idea that I'm knocking it, I'm not. Making a baby, believe it or not, is hard work for some couples. And we're not talking about just the act itself, but the emotional and mental anguish that it can bring if you aren't successful. Rather than turning to a stranger, they were able to rely on a close family member. And the teenager's reaction?
"My only regret is that I couldn’t make the baby the old fashioned way. Adrienne was a cheerleader at Purdue and is still pretty hot. I wouldn’t have minded taking a stab at her in the sack,” added Cody.
Cody, I think we all would like to have a cheerleader at some point in our lives...

IMDB news
Let's go trolling through their announcements, shall we?
Lessee....Britney SPears to launch new fragrance....we'll guess that it'll be called "Eau de Let me distract you from the fact that I really don't have any talent with my T & A."
Slater pays Thousands for Lap Dancers....yeah, that's a shock. Really noteworthy there. Oh, look! Surprising development! Oxygen good for humans! Still, that being said, there has been alot of reports recently about strip clubs pputting bogus charges on customers credit cards, most notably this one. When even strip clubs are no longer the wholesome family fun they used to be, you KNOW the world has gone to hell in a conveinent handbasket. Thank goodness for the handy thermos that keeps hot things hot and cold things cold!
You mean to tell me they're only after my MONEY? I feel so foolish.
She took my money
my cig-a-rettes.
I haven't seen
the worst of it yet.
Well, when doubt creeps into your mind, you have to rely on Faith. Faith Hill, apparently. Faith Hill's Orgasm Embarrassment certainlly catches the eye for a title, doesn't it?
Apparently she had to fake an orgasm in the new move, The Stepford Wives, ths assuring that I MUST see this movie. DO I need to see a movie to see a woman fake an orgasm? No comment on THAT, thank you very much.
Faith should never have to worry about putting on that kind of acting performance. That bastard Tim McGraw.
More later. I'm spent.
