Hello, coordinated dressers. Three-fourths of us have black shirts on today. (I didn’t get the memo. Laurie tried to help me fit in by pointing out my shoes were black. I thank her for that.)
Would you, the listener, buy a car from a registered sex offender?
Q: What was the unknown odor in John’s car – an animal, a banana or milk? A: a sippy cup full of old milk.
JC loves the scene in Pulp Fiction where Harvey Keitel’s Winston Wolf is in a tux because it’s early in the morning & "The Wolf" looks fresh.
JC had an old Chevy Manza that had a slow death from spray paint, turkey & dressing & the fact that it had an aluminum engine.
On March 18th, the animal shelter in Piedmont, MO flooded, taking in 5 ft. of water. Felines Forever took the 12 cats that were in the shelter & will be finding homes for them. For more info, clicky.
The New England Historic Genealogical Society decided to look up the family trees of the top three presidential candidates.
They found that Barack Obama is a distant (9th) cousin of Brad Pitt’s. He can be linked to six presidents, including George W. Bush and his dad, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry Truman & James Madison. Also he’s a distant cousin with former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Civil War General Robert E. Lee & Dick Cheney.
Hillary Clinton is related to Angelina Jolie (9th cousins, twice removed).
Hillary is also a distant cousin of Madonna, Celine Dion, Alanis Morissette, author Jack Kerouac & Camilla Parker Bowles.
John McCain, meanwhile, is a 6th cousin of First Lady, Laura Bush.
Women are more judgmental than guys & make more assumptions about a person based only on their name. But we all do it to some extent. So what else did they learn in a new survey in Britain’s Daily Mail? Well …
People named "Ryan" & "Sophie" are considered the most attractive while people named "George" & "Ann" are considered the least attractive.
People named "James" & "Elizabeth" are assumed to be the most successful while people named "Brian" & "Lisa" are thought to be the least successful. (webmaster note: sounds like a load of bunk to me!)
And people named "Jack" & "Lucy" are considered to be the luckiest while people named "John" & "Helen" are thought to be the unluckiest. To be outraged by Wal-Mart suing a brain-damaged woman, read the story.
John & Laurie reminisced about a plane trip from Chicago to the STL where they sat on the tarmac for what seemed forever & then they made an unexpected stop in Marion.
Dave Murray, pointer-free since 1976.
Enjoy watching this guy get slapped in the face in super-slow motion. Pretend it’s JC.
Laurie may or may not be in Meet Bill, the new Aaron Eckhart, Jessica Alba & Elizabeth Banks film that we gave passes away to today (& will again tomorrow).
The JoY was “The Dirty Song” by two guys who won’t be named (K&J). The F4 featured tickets to the Blues’ Ladies & Left Wings promotion.
The Vault was “Tubular Bells” by Mike Oldfield. Finally, All the President’s Men starred Robert Redford & Dustin Hoffman as “Wood-stein” & Hal Holbrook as “Deep Throat.”
Don't Do Anything Stupid,
