Hello, hungry ones.
Just like “WKRP,” “NewsRadio” & “Frasier” aren’t accurate depictions of radio, Twister isn’t an accurate depiction of tornados.
Remember, there is a Tornado Warning test at 1:30 today. Unless you, the listener are reading this after 1:30 (probably, so then never mind).
The International Star Registry (ISR), founded in 1979, purports to enable people to name a star as a gift or memorial. Once the star is named, the ISR publishes its telescopic coordinates in a book called "Your Place in the Cosmos." Although, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), not the ISR, has the internationally recognized authority to name and designate newly discovered stars, planets, asteroids, comets, and other heavenly bodies. Wired did an expose on this subject, to see it, clicky.
The Hubble Telescope is a joint operation between NASA, the European Space Agency and the Space Telescope Science Institute. The colors in Hubble images, which are assigned for various reasons, aren't always what we'd see if we were able to visit the imaged objects in a spacecraft. We often use color as a tool, whether it is to enhance an object's detail or to visualize what ordinarily could never be seen by the human eye.

JC believes going to a prostitute is just like Russian Roulette. Laurie believes it’s probably more fun than playing with guns.
The first season of “CSI:NY” in its initial episode featured the naked sushi called “Grand Master.” Over the weekend, a sushi restaurant called The Temple in Minneapolis, Minnesota, introduced Naked Sushi (or as they like to call it, Body Sushi) to the Midwest. For $75 each, Minneapolitans got to eat sushi off the bodies of nearly naked models. Their naughty bits were covered with strategically-placed flowers (& of course, raw fish).
The rules:
Don't speak to the models.
Don't touch the models.
Don't say anything inappropriate.
The sushi models at The Temple make $100 an hour plus tips & free training.
To become a sushi model, you must be completely HAIRLESS (that's a health department rule), learn to breathe evenly, & train to lie still for long periods of time.
Here’s video of one of these places in Florida. I like the guy around 1:40 that takes a photo with his phone. Classy!
National By-Products is one of the major processors of animal and poultry by-products generated by the livestock, poultry and retail meat industries, as well as used cooking oils from restaurants and snack food manufacturers. Finished products — such as fats, proteins and hides — are distributed to manufacturers worldwide. In fact, NBP is the leading U.S. exporter of meat and bone meal. NBP finished products are used to make soaps, chemicals, cosmetics, plastics, fabric softeners, lubricants, livestock and poultry feeds, pet foods and leather goods.
Who’d We See:
Laurie was ill over the weekend and did nothing. But, last week she went to the Asthma & Allergy Foundation’s Orchid Ball where she sat with Rams player Chris Draft.
Me: My family & I went shopping for lots of kids birthday presents at the South City Target & saw former producer, Judy Martin, with her husband & son.
Saturday we were supposed to have an out of town house guest, but we didn’t – so we watched “Dexter.”
Sunday we went to my Godson’s 4th birthday party at a national kiddie pizza chain. The smells were incredible. Then we saw Stravinsky’s “Firebird” at Powell Hall. Then because of JC’s e-mail we went to LoRusso’s.
John: Friday – went to a birthday party.
Saturday – got to hang out with his daughter then in the evening the Ulett's & the Imo's went to Ameristar to eat.
Sunday his youngest daughter got to crown the Virgin Mary at Saint John Nepomuk.
JC: Friday - he saw his older daughter when she starred in Honk.
Saturday - the Vic Porcelli 50th birthday party.
Sunday - watched “Dexter” & Death at a Funeral.
Neither Carrabba’s nor Pep Boys have any more locations in Saint Louis. But you can use the Carrabba’s gift certificates at Flemings or the Outback Steakhouse (but not the one by the Esquire, because that one closed). In other restaurant news: the Downtown location of Dierdorf & Hart’s has closed.
Also, one of youse asked for the pick-up line JC used this morn, here ‘tis:
"Do you believe in the here-after?"
"Yes."
"Then you know what I'm here after."
(crickets / rim-shot / slap-in-the face)
The JoY was “Wet Dream” by Kip Addotta. The 3fA featured Jackson Browne. The Vault was the "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon" from Chicago (II). Finally, on “One Day at a Time” Dwayne F. Schneider called Ann, “Ms. Romano.”
Don't Do Anything Stupid,
