Hi football fans, but not to the damn Baltimorons. Why couldn’t they pull it out last night against those cheating Patriots?
JC thinks we sound different today. It might be something in the “audio chain.”
As you, the listener, are reading this we are less than two days away from our 12 Days of Christmas. See the countdown on the front page.
Gentleman’s Agreement is about anti-Semitism and when I watched it as a teenager, I didn’t get it. I couldn’t believe that people acted that way back “in the day.”
John is upset that Bowie Kuhn made it into Cooperstown. Kuhn installed the designated hitter. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the revamped Veterans Committee on Monday while his longtime adversary, players’ union boss Marvin Miller, was left out for the second time this year. Former Dodgers owner Walter O’Malley, longtime MLB manager Dick Williams (born here in Saint Louis), former Cardinals’ manager from the 40s Billy Southworth and ex-Pirates owner Barney Dreyfuss also were elected. Whitey Herzog missed it by thismuch (one vote).
Some of the top signs you are flying a gay-owned airline:
-- 1st class amenities include a reach-around
-- In-flight movie is always Brokeback Mountain
-- When you ask the flight attendant for a tea bag, he strips naked and climbs up & …
When we were talking about 12 Days we discussed www.bigsmalltown.com and the postcards they sent us.
Always test your Christmas lights before you put them on the walls. JC bought a wreath and Triple C has vetoed it. John has jingle bells on every door. Laurie has to stop her husband from putting up lights everywhere. Everywhere.
John is in this month’s St. Louis Cardinals GameDay Magazine (page 21).
JC is worried about Katherine Heigl’s eyes.
Wile E. Coyote is a “Super Genius.” It says so on his business card.
Here’s the Brian Wilson song “Smart Girls.”
A new study says these foods are best for your brain: cold meat for breakfast and dark chocolate anytime. Eat pasta at night and don’t drink caffeine at night.
70% of young women surveyed have had unprotected sex with a new partner.
59% of men & 60% of women broke up with someone perfectly acceptable because they were a bad kisser.
Dave didn’t want to be on the teevee growing up, but he got interested in weather by watching Boston’s WBZ forecaster Don Kent.
Dave is the only one that is saying that Thursday will be some of the white stuff (ice or snow).
In the ongoing saga of JC’s kidney stones, he has a giant orange jug that he has to pee in over the course of 24 hours. He’s gonna bring it in tomorrow so we can photograph it & put it up here for the world to see.
A new National Science Foundation study shows that broken homes damage the environment. The soaring divorce rate has created more households with fewer people, which, in turn, take up more space and gobble up more energy and water.
In the United States alone in 2005, divorced households used 73 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity and 627 billion gallons of water that could have been saved had household size remained the same as that of married households. Thirty-eight million extra rooms were needed with associated costs for heating and lighting.
Between 1998 and 2002, in the United States and 11 other countries (among them Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Greece, Mexico and South Africa), if divorced households had combined to attain the same average household size as married households, there could have been 7.4 million fewer households in these countries.
Around the year 2000, the numbers of divorced households in the 12 countries ranged from 40,000 in Costa Rica to almost 16 million in the United States.
In divorced households the number of rooms per person was 33 to 95 percent greater than that in married households.
Other lifestyle trends that are impacting the environment: the fading of multigenerational homes and people staying single longer.
Since people aren’t supposed to give kids under six-years-old OtC cold medicines any more, give kids honey before bed - it can stop coughs.
The JoY was “A Place for Your Stuff” by George Carlin. The 3fA featured The Byrds. The Vault was Randy Newman’s “I Love LA.” Finally, JC doesn’t “get” The Big Lebowski, where the f-word is uttered 281 times.
