Hello. It’s one more day of double duty for Mark. See him tonight at the Fish Fry at St. Gerard Majella (1971 Dougherty Ferry Road in Kirkwood).
It’s Daylight Saving Time, not the plural.
Tripp Isenhour, 39, is a pro golfer who was ranked #48 on the PGA Tour last year & he's won about $2 million over the years playing on the PGA & Nationwide Tours.
Last December, Tripp was on a golf course in Orlando, Florida, where he was a guest on an episode of the golf TV show “Shoot Like a Pro.” In the middle of shooting, a red-shouldered hawk kept making noise so Tripp had to stop filming in the middle of a take. The hawk interrupted a couple times and it made Tripp so mad that he started hitting golf balls at the bird. The hawk was 75 yards away in a tree. And Tripp actually hit it with a golf ball. The hawk fell out of the tree & died from Tripp's shot. Tripp just got charged with two misdemeanor counts of cruelty to animals and killing a migratory bird which can get him 14 months in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Elle & MSNBC surveyed more than 74,000 people, and they found that only 12% of men actually care if their wife makes more money than they do. In fact, 40% of men whose wives aren't working actually wish they were. And of the men whose wives do have careers, only 5% wish they would quit and be stay-at-home moms.
The Brits love their text messaging . . . they're sending out about 4.7 million texts an hour on average. Now, everyone knows that DRIVING and texting is dangerous. But apparently, WALKING and texting can be just as bad. In London, people who are walking & texting are always bumping into other people, trash bins, and, worst of all, lampposts. Accidents like that happened 6.6 million times in England last year - 68,000 of those accidents were in London alone. And some of those accidents resulted in hardcore injuries like broken noses and fractured skulls.
One of the most common places to get injured while walking & texting is a street in East London called Brick Lane. So a cell phone directory group called 118 (like our 411) came up with an ingenious way of preventing walking & texting injuries. They went up and down Brick Lane and wrapped the lampposts in padding. Now the street is officially called Britain's first, quote, "safe text street." Here's a girl leaning against one of these padded lampposts while texting.

The only thing Mark is fanatical about is saving money.
John & Mark’s daughters have no concept of money. They are confused by “this FICA guy.”
In 1990, their first year of eligibility, The Kinks were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside The Who, Simon & Garfunkel, The Four Seasons, The Four Tops, Hank Ballard, & The Platters.
Rancho Deluxe is a 1975 comedy western film that was directed by Frank Perry. Jeff Bridges & Sam Waterston star as two cattle rustlers in modern-day Montana who plague a wealthy ranch owner, played by Clifton James. The film also stars Slim Pickens, Harry Dean Stanton, Richard Bright & Elizabeth Ashley. Jimmy Buffett contributed the music, and performed within the film in a scene set at a country/western bar. And knowing that helped us give away our final pair of lawn seats.
Vanishing Point is a 1971 road movie starring Barry Newman, Cleavon Little, Dean Jagger, and a 1970 Dodge Challenger.
According to a new study from the Journal of Sexual Medicine, women say the ideal length of time for sex is between seven & thirteen minutes. And even if it only lasts three minutes, that's still OK. To put it another way: It’s only a ten-minute window when your girl is actually happy having sex with you. If you take too long, or not long enough she's not enjoying herself. And that's bad news because most guys say they prefer sex that lasts between 15 & 20 minutes.
Enjoy your weekend & happy birthday to my godson, Michael Ross (look for me at the Chuck E. Cheese party).
The JoY was Christine Lavin’s “Sensitive New-Age Guy.” The 3fA featured Aerosmith. The Vault was the Chambers Brothers’ “Time Has Come Today.” Also, the Dave Clark Five performed on “The Ed Sullivan Show” 18 times. And finally, everything should be back to normal on Monday – maybe, they haven’t told me anything (still).
Don't Do Anything Stupid,
Carl The Intern |
