LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!

The new "90210" begins Sept. 2 on cwtv.

Lets take a look back at some of the great scenes from the old "90201"

This by far was one of the cheesiest scenes of all television shows, DONNA MARTIN GRADUATES!




There was Brenda



Kelly and Dylan or Brandon...oh I can't watch!



Then there was Donna and David...remember when she caught him in the limo with another women...



This website is pretty cool, howmanyofme.com Find out how many other people in the United States have your same first and last name.


I typed in my name, there are 99 Gary kuhn's in the US.

Got this comment yesterday. I'm from the other species so I can't touch this but ladies have at it, help Chrissy out...or man bash just leave me out!

chrissy said...
Hey there! I really think that you need to have a talk about why men have to be so damn stubborn all the time, do you not have feelings or are you just too macho to show them? How do you confess your love for someone and ask them to marry you and then just walk away with no reason?? Please help me to understand this!!!!

With the wet weather last night I took the opportunity to play some games with my kids. My son Noah and I played some games at primarykids.com he kick my butt at the ultimate parking game where you use your arrow keys to park a car in an increasingly tough parking spot.

Parents, this is a great site for your kids with lots of educational stuff, including games your "primary" school aged kids can play.

Entertainment gossipy stuff;

Former "One day at a time star" Mackenzie Phillips has been busted at LAX for allegedly possessing heroin and cocaine. Officers responded to Terminal 4, where 48-year-old Phillips was being screened by TSA. During the screening process, some baggies and balloons believed to contain heroin and cocaine were recovered.

From the always have the proper tools for the job department;

In Tacoma, Washington a man was using an electric vacuum cleaner to siphon gas from a 5-gallon drum into his work van in the parking lot of an apartment sparked a fire, which quickly spread under the van.

The flames burned a garage and townhouse. The occupants tried to contain the blaze until firefighters arrived. The van was destroyed. The townhouse sustained minor damage.

Everyone knows if your going to siphon gas you have to use a wet vac!

FACTOIDS

One final wrap up of the 2008 summer Olympic games with some Olympics factoids by the numbers.

HUMP DAY!

Going "Green"is the cool thing these days. All the celeb types are doing it and talking down to you for not. So, I've found a list of the 7-dumbest ways celebrities have gone "Green."




Day three of the democratic National convention tonight from Denver. Check out this photo, pretty sure it's photoshoped but quite funny... (read the scrool!)
























Keeping with the political theme!

How to save the government MILLIONS!!

A president's pension currently is $191,300 per year. Assuming the next president lives to age 80. Sen McCain would receive ZERO pension as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president. Sen Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive $4,973,800 in pension. Therefore it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in November.How's that for non partisan thinking???

Peanuts "Rock The Vote." Check out this website and cast your vote for which Peanuts character would you vote for as President? Snoopy is currently the leading candidate.

I'm voting Charlie Brown. I think Charlie would be most in touch with the common person, the middles class.

Lucy is to tough, to quick to react, Linus is to timid and wouldn't be quick enough to make decision.

Snoopy, with his experience as a World War II fighter pilot would be tough on terrorist but I think he's to aloof for all the issues. Snoopy would be a great Vice President.

Yep, I'm Voting Charlie Brown. Who will you vote for?

In honor of today being first day of school for most students, I share this...

According to stumblerz.com this is the shortest English sentence using all letters of the alphabet.
"Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz"

a sentence that contains all letters of the alphabet is called Pangram. According to wikianswers the shortest complete sentence using all letter is:
"the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”


Maybe you can take these sentences into your English teacher for extra credit!


Speaking of school, this is my son's home work routine. Does it look familar to you?
15 minutes looking for assignment.

11 minutes calling a friend for the assignment.

23 minutes explaining why the teacher is mean and just does not like children.

8 minutes in the bathroom.

10 minutes getting a snack.

7 minutes checking the TV Guide.

6 minutes telling me that the teacher never explained the assignment.

10 minutes sitting at the kitchen table waiting for me to do the assignment.

MONDAY...YUCK!

As we start a new week why don't you take the quiz and find out how many goats you're worth.
I have no idea why or what it means but, why not! By-the-by, I was worth 6-goats! I'm pathetic!


WEEKEND OBSERVATION:

As much as I love to run, watching a Marathon on T.V. (Saturday night NBC'S Olympic coverage) is VERY BORING!!

I haven't had a "fried egg sandwich" in a long time, till Sunday and it tasted great!!

As bad as it may sound, I love my ice baths, especially after long runs. The initial shock is the toughest, after that you forget about the cold. Till you get out and can't move your legs.


The line of the weekend came from a pee-wee football coach who was arguing a call from a midget league official. As he was heading back to the sidelines I hear him tell the officials "that was a pitiful call, especial at this level."

It was 5th and 6th graders, what level was he talking about?


ENTERTAINMENT STUFF...(you can tell its a slow day when I'm doing entertainment news.)

New "dancing with stars" line up announced today.

The lineup includes soap star Susan Lucci, Toni Braxton, Kim Kardashian, former ‘N Sync star Lance Bass and footballer warren Sapp.



Season seven begins Monday September 22nd on ABC

According to a report in USmagazine, Britney spears will not be performing at the upcoming VMA's.



I guess she's busy that day.

The best part of the Brownie is the edges, right? With this new brownie ban every side has two edges ...check it out!

How do you like your Brownies? I like mine with walnuts and loaded with powdered sugar!
I've recently said, "I'm looking for the women who makes the best brownies!"

TGIF 8/22/08

A British documentary found that the average familes spend 34-min a day shouting at each other, about half of households with more than one child spend at least an hour in heated argument.

Hey, at least there communicating!

trust me, there was at least 15-min of yelling at my house this morning trying to get kids ready for school!

While families may not alway get along, a majority of teenagers did admit that they did love their parents. (when they're not yelling I'm sure.)

Man catches record breaking catfish with 2-1/2 foot Barbie doll fishing poll. The catfish measured 32 inches in length and 22 ½ inches in girth.

Imagine the stories the fish are telling at the bottom of the pond about "tiny" the catfish. "Can you believe Tiny got caught by a Barbie doll poll, what a loser!"

Gwen Stefani gives birth to second child, a boy and names him Zuma Nest Rock.

What's the most unique name you've ever heard...not belonging to one of these celeb types?

When I lived in Mansfield, Ohio there was a child named Abcde. can't figure it out, come on!

It's Ab-sa-de.

Ever call someone and hoped you got thier voice mail because you really didn't want to talk to them?

Now you can, check this out. Slydial allows you to call anyone from a landline or mobile phone and go directly to thier voicemail.

Thursday 8/21

Are you kidding me? Some parents in California are upset over Pizza and Ice Cream party to reward children for reading achievements.

The Granada Hills, Calf. couple questions such rewards in light of rising childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes.

library officials say the responsibility falls on the parents, not a public institution, to decide whether their children should join in pizza and ice cream parties. A library spokesperson also said "It's been a tradition just about as long as there have been kids and as long as there has been ice cream."

I consider myself a healthy person, I continually watch what I eat however, a donut now and then is not going to kill me.
It's not what you do once in a while it's what you do all most often.

Your thoughts, should school and library parties for kids include only healthy foods and snacks?

PROFOUND SAYINGS:

six of one, half dozen of the other.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
It will all come out in the wash.
Looks like a duck, walk likes a duck then it must be a duck!

Can you come up with any others? Or make up new ones, like this.

If you think texting and driving is distracting, check out this dude. He watches movies on his Iphone while driving by placing his iPhone on his car's dashboard and watches the reflection on the windshield. He wears a headset while he watches, but usually with just one ear bud inserted "so that I can hear the traffic and what not." At least he's cautious...check out the video!

Wednesday 8/20/08

This is why I wouldn't want to be a school board member.

Vermilion, Ohio schools Superintendent Philip Pempin, head football coach Frank Horvath and other school officials met Tuesday to discuss whether a 17-year-old boy should be allowed play after he admitted to juvenile delinquency for gross sexual imposition earlier this summer.

The conviction stems from a May 2007 drinking binge where the boy had sex with a classmate who was passed out.

The crime did not happen at school, but the district's policy states a student-athlete can be disqualified for any criminal activity.

read the complete story here from the Cleveland Plain dealer and Cleveland.com.

This story has the message boards buzzing and a lot of people talking.

what are your thoughts. Should a 17-year old boy, convicted of rape be able to participate in high school extra-curricular activities? Heck, should he even be aloud in school with other kids?

This is amazing. This years incoming college freshman have grown up with GPS, have always had caller ID on their phones and taxes could always be filed electronically. Here is the entire Belliot college mindset list

Rosanne Barr rips into Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt on her blog, Rosanne's world calling Jolie vacuous and Brad evil.

Rosanne Barr...isn't she the unfunny unemployed comedian?

"The Bananna Splits" the classic children television show is making a comeback. Show will begin airing September 2nd on the cartoon network!

The Banana Splits came onto the scene in 1968 as hosts of The Banana Splits Adventure Hour, a show created by Hanna-Barbera that featured comedy and music videos.
They are a costumed rock band made up of Fleegle (a dog), Drooper (a lion), Bingo (a gorilla) and Snorky (an elephant) who hang out in their Banana Pad while playing music and telling jokes.
The shows theme song, The Tra La La Song, quickly became a classic.

What TV shows did you grow up watching?

If they bring back "The Great Space Coasters" well, I'm on board. (If you were a fan of the show you'll get the pun.)


The shows theme song to Bananna Splits, The Tra La La Song, quickly became a classic. Check it out in this video.

Ok, some toy company thought this toy was appropriate for children!

check out where the water goes in..nice!

PHELPS MANIA

How many of you had Phelps fever over the weekend? It was awesome, watching him win by .01 seconds on Friday night then win his 8th gold of the Beijing Olympics on Saturday night

His next "gold" is going to come in endorsements. After winning six gold medals in 2004 Michael Phelps made $5-million in endorsement deals.
"Speedo," one of Phelps major sponsors gave him a $1-million dollar bonus before he even entered a swimming pool in China.
David Harrow, of the National Sports Lawyers Association said Michael Phelps could earn $30-50-million dollars in endorsements before this is said and done.

The only problem I had with this whole Michael Phelps hype was NBC's announcers and news anchors trying to make clever "head lines" after Phelps one his eight gold medal.

Bob Costas said " These Olympics started on 8/8/08 and now Michael Phelps is 8-for-8!

On the on Sunday's "NBC's Today" show they were calling Phelps "The Eight Wonder!" Why do announcers and anchors feel they have to have fancy headlines to sell the story? YUK!

If you heard or read any other cheesy headlines, share those with me, just drop me a comment.

Weekend observations

I was shocked to learned this ok the weekend...Julia Childs was a spy for the US Government during WWII.



Child's served in an international spy ring managed by the Office of Strategic Services, an early version of the CIA created in World War II by President Franklin Roosevelt.

A recent survey by the New York Post found that a whopping 79% of New Yorkers admitted to sending flirtatious or dirty text messages.

OK, lets fess up, how many of you are guilty of the same thing? I will admit that I have done both!

tinea cruris...Jock itch!!!

If your the USC football team you have to come up with something other than, "we're suffering from an outbreak of jock itch."

25% of the team has been affected by the apparent run of tinea cruris or jock itch, The condition seems to have spread by way of new compression shorts, or tights, worn under their football pants. Two of their players were so afflicted they couldn't practice.

You've got to say the flu is spreading around the club house or something. This is a moment when you don't want to tell the truth!
-------------------------------------------------------------
CHEAP GAS!

a San Antonio, Texas convenience store accidentally sold premium gasoline for .38 cents a gallon after a pump malfunction.

According to the station manager, the "pump malfunction" involving a misplaced decimal point. It was supposed to read $3.89 a gallon. Of course no one reported the error...

Would you? Drop me you comments.

Donald Trump has agreed to buy Ed McMahon's Beverly Hills house for an undisclosed amount and allow McMahon to continue living in it.












McMahon, was facing foreclosure within two weeks on his Beverly Hills home of 18 years.
------------------------------------------------------------
scientists have proven that "beer goggles" are real!!

Scientists in England gave 84 heterosexual college students either alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks. After 15 minutes, the volunteers were shown photos of 40 other college students from both sexes. The volunteers who drank booze found the people in the photo's to be more attractive that those who didn't drink... at a roughly 10 percent increase in ratings of attractiveness." Thus proving that "beer goggle" do exist!




















this reminds me of a joke...

A man and wife were arguing about money. The wife told her husband he was spending way to much money on beer. He said she was spending way to much on make up.

the wife said "I need the make up to look pretty for you."

the husband responce..."That's what the beers for!"


Screeeech..crash!
---------------------------------------------------------------

Listen to this breakfast...three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise, two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes.

That is the breakfast of Michael Phelp, the swimmer who has already won five gold medal!
Phelps eats a a staggering 12,000 calories a day but he also swims 17 times over nine days of competition at the Beijing Games - meaning that he will need all the calories he can shovel in his mouth in order to keep his energy levels high.



















YO, Lebron. Whatca looking at dude?


QUESTION:

Do you think the landline phone is going the way of the 8-track tape and floppy disk?

I'm thinking we need to go back to two tin cans and a sting.


One, two, three...shoot where was I.

A Cincinnati area man who says is doest trust "paper money" uses coins to pay for half of a $16,000 truck. IT took the car dealership 90-min to count all the coinage

Do you suffer from Destinesia?

According to UrbanDictionary-dot-com, destinesia is "when you get to where you were intending to go, but forget why you were going there in the first place. Not to be confused with being stoned, destinesia often occurs during working hours and is the cause of much frustration."

Never mind, I can't remember where I was going with this!

Wednesday 8/13

A group called Veterans for Peace is on the warpath against a multi-media simulated killing game the U.S. Army plans for an exhibit at the upcoming Cleveland Air Show.

Show-goers age 13 and older can sit in a replica of a Humvee, virtually speed through desert terrain and shoot fake machine guns at life-size pictures of people projected on a wraparound screen.

Hello, its called a video game, kids are playing them all the time!

An employee of a Xenia, Ohio Burger King has been fired after posting on myspace a video of himself taking a bubble bath in the restaurant's utility sink.


Well, the sign in the bathroom says "all employees must wash before enter cooking area."

OK, what are some of the pranks, gags, games you played as a teenager?

I used to do a lot of TP-ing of girls houses.(My way of showing I cared.)

Fired drills at stop lights where everyone in the car gets out and switches places inside the car. Sometimes we would pop the hood, act like the car wouldn't start then right before the light changed close the hood and drive away. (living on the edge I tell you, living on the edge!)

Drop me a comment with your "harmless" pranks.

OLYMPIC STUFF
Michael Phelps has become the winningest Olympic athlete ever, earning his fifth gold medal of the Beijing Games with a world record in the 800-meter freestyle relay.




This from the totally useless research department. An Octopus actually has two legs and six arms.

Phew, now I can sleep better tonight!
I wonder now if bears have two arms and two legs or is it still just four legs?

I'm a runner and an admirer of women who run. But women who run in high heels, now this is impressive.




More Olympic controversy.



Yesterday I told you that the pyrotechnics at the opening ceremony of the Bejing Olympics were faked, now we find out the little girl who sang "Ode to the Motherland," was lip-syncing! I guess China didn't think the real singer was cute enough so they sent another girl out to mouth the words...SHOCKING!



And take a look at this picture of the Spaniard mens Basketball team making "slanted eye" gestures in a full page ad placed in the country's largest sports newspaper, Marca, wishing them and the Spanish women's teams good luck in the Beijing games.



The Guardian newspaper reported that no one from the federation felt the ad was inappropriate, and that no offense was intended.







Groom charged with being to close to Bride at wedding.

Usually the restraining order comes after the marriage, not before..

usually the bride not wanting her groom to close to her comes AFTER the first year of marriage...know what I mean?

Out... "not tonight I have a headache.
In... "Not tonight I have a restraining order against you!"

I'm on a roll!

Gadget or Girl...

A new Playboy TV series, Gadget or the Girl, guy will be forced to choose between a hot weekend getaway with the girl of his choice, or a mystery gadget.

Each episode sees a bachelor meeting 3 girls with whom he spends the evening at the end of it he needs to make a selection.

It would be funny if mystery gadget was a blow up doll!

Notice they don't do this the other way..women gets to choose gadget of man. Men would lose every time!

WEEKEND STUFF

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I went to my hometown of North Ridgeville to run in the Lions Club 10K(6.2-miles) race. I came in 1st in my age group, 40-44 and 4th overall with a time of 41:37. My next race will be Sunday in the “Perfect 10-miler” in Lyndhurst, Ohio.
After the race I went to the North Ridgeville “corn Festival” this is the annual home town celebration. Hung out with a friend in the soccer tent and then met up with another in the beer tent.
Alright, here are some of my observations from the weekend in particular the “Corn Fest.”
1) When you move away from your home town then come back you expect it to be the same but, it’s not. All new people, every street has a new look new business etc.
2) Fair food is really greasy and bad for you yet taste so good!!
3) THE BEER TENT IS NOT WHAT IT WAS WHEN I WAS GROWING UP.

Growing up in North Ridgeville, Ohio and going to the Corn Fest you couldn’t wait to be old enough to get into the beer tent. While growing up it always appeared the adults in the beer ten were having so much fun… they had to be because “NO KIDS ALLOWED.”

This year, for the first time ever, I went into the “beer tent” and boy was I disappointed!! Like I said, growing up there were no kids allowed in the beer tent PERIOD. You would try and barge in to the tent to get money from dad but if dad didn’t catch you someone else’s dad did and stopped you. I remember yelling over the fence asking dad for more money. I’d either get some money or get a ‘NO, now go away!”

The “beer tent” this year was filled with children! Children dancing to the band, baby’s in strollers, teens taking up room at picnic tables sitting with mom and dad. I have kids but knew I was going to the beer tent so there were no children…so I thought!

Also, choice of beer was watered down, warm draft beer. Not my first choice!

With that said, it led me to think of things that looked so cool and fun as a kid but when you were finally able to do it you were disappointed.

Here’s my list:
A) Growing up. When you’re little it’s all you want to do! What I’d do to be a kid again.
B) Driving. Wish I had someone to drive me around!
C) Beer tent and you now know how that turned out
D) Staying out/up late. As an adult if I’m not asleep before the 11:00 news that’s a late night.

Please, help add to my list, drop a comment on things you always wanted to do as a kid but now that you’re grown up, not what you though it would be!
You can include things you “had to have” as a kid but once you got what you wanted it was not “all that.

BUT ARE THEY WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD?

The USA men's Basketball team began their quest for gold yesterday by easily beating China. As I was watching all I could think was how much money was on the court. Is the men's USA Basketball team worth their weight in gold, check this out.

The collected 2008-2009 salaries of Team USA tops out at a whopping $160,552,279.
1) Gold is trading right now at $856 an ounce.2) Team USA weighs a collective 2,707 lbs., which is 43,312 ounces.3) With a salaried value of $160,552,279, that means that the team is worth $3,706 per ounce, or a little over four times the value of gold!

There you have it!

Now my touchy feel good story for today. (we need that on a Monday)

Sidney Ross, 13 raised $1,173 dollars Saturday morning selling Lemonade to raise money for children with cancer.
Sidney’s money will be pooled with money collected at similar stands nationwide to support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.

The foundation was started by Alexandra Scott, a Pennsylvania girl who told her parents in 2000 that she wanted to have a lemonade stand to raise money to fight cancer for all children with the disease, the same disease that was killing her.

To date, these lemonade stands have raised more than $20 million to fund 80 research projects nationally. For more information on this foundation or holding a lemonade stand fund-raiser, visit the Web site at http://www.alexslemonade.org/.

More Olympic stuff…
It was learned yesterday that the elaborate pyrotechnics display broadcast to the world as part of the opening ceremony for Bejing Olympics was faked, done digitally in 3-D computer graphics.
The Beijing Olympic Committee defended the ruse because of the city’s hazy, smoggy skies, would have made such an elaborate fireworks display at night too difficult to pull off successfully.
A Committee members also said they were concerned that the helicopter pilot who would have flown overhead to film the fireworks would have been “at risk by making him try to follow the firework route.

You got to love the creativity of people on the internet. Check out these photoshopped pics. Of President Bush at the beach Volleyball games over the weekend.

FRIDAY, FRIDAY,FRIDAY

A fellow blogger and close friend of mine, Tenitems.blogspot.com got carded at big box store and not for alcohol or cigarettes but for a can of AIR!! Apparently stores are now checking your ID if you want to buy a can of condensed air! Why? Apparently young children have found a way of huffing the contents for a quick buzz!

I wonder if you can get in trouble if you were buying the can of air for a minor? Kids standing outside the door giving you cash to go in and buy a can of dust remover!

What about candy bars, RedBull or Mountain Dew? I hear kids get sugar highs from those type items, we better start carding for them!

Keeping with the protect out children theme there's this from West Virginia.

A West Virginia mother is seeking a recall of a popular walkie-talkie after her 3-year-old’s toy apparently intercepted a profanity-laced conversation between truckers about drugs and strip clubs.

The Fischer-Price walkie-talkie allows children to role-play animal rescues like the Diego character does on the cartoon series “Dora the Explorer” and “Go, Diego, Go!”
The walkie-talkie is supposed to have a range of about 20 feet, but according to this West Virginia mother she heard one of the voices say he was driving on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, about 275 miles north of Huntington.

It wasn't a truck driver it was MAP. I'm the map, I'm the MAP I'm the map!

MONTAUK MONSTER UPDATE...

Splinterhead movies now claim to have the Montauk Monster. So is this an elaborate hoax to promote a movie? Stay tuned, I'll keep you updated with all the breaking news.

I still say its Alf, what do you think?

Guilty Pleasure movies!

What is a guilty pleasure movie? A movie you're embarrassed to admit you like. A movie so bad it's good.

My guilty pleasure movies:

the Warriors. It's a 1979 cult movie about gangs in NYC!





Break Dance




Striptease-staring Demi Moore (obvious reasons)
Srg. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band the movie-staring Peter Frampton and the Bee Gee's. sally fields was also in it along with Aerosmith. They never show this movie anywhere but I remember seeing it about five times back in 1979.
Cotton Club- It's a mobster/mafia movie.


According to the urban dictionary, "Shuffle shame" is when your mp3 music player is playing on speakers in shuffle mode, and somebody enters the room at the exact moment the worst song of your collection is being played.

What song on your Ipod or MP3 would cause you "shuffle shame?"

Mine would be Rupert Holmes, "Pina Coloda song," (What, I like the beat!) and my "old school" rap music!

I figured it out! the Montauk Monster is ALF from the 80's TV show! Check it out!

HUMP DAY!

Texting and driving is better left to professionals... In Minnesota, a 25-year-old driver was pulled over by a sheriff's deputy, not only for traveling at speeds near 80 miles per hour, but he also drifted into the wrong lane because he was text-messaging! As if that weren't enough, he was arrested on suspicion of drinking and driving.

Just so you know...
According to the Department of Public Safety, distractions such as texting or talking on cell phones were involved in at least 15 percent of all fatal crashes from 2005 to 2007.


This story gives meaning to the saying "50 whipping with a wet noodle" only this one was frozen!

An Atlantic Beach, Florida woman is being charged with domestic battery after police said she attacked her husband with a frozen Lasagna!

This women is a "noodle!" Think she was on the "sauce?"


The Montauk Beach, NY monster has been kidnapped!

Last week everyone was talking about the decaying...whatever, found at Montauk Beach in NY. Well, now the person who claims he found the monster, is reporting it missing!

Eric Olsen tells Tuesday's East Hampton, N.Y., Star that he's the mystery man who picked the famous cryptid carcass off the beach last month — but now some dastardly bandit has made off with the remains.

Someone calling himself Nicky Papers has started a blog, naturally, devoted to the entire saga.

Don't scrool down, there is a monster at the end of the post!



This is just freaky!



That was not the monster! please don't scrool down any furter , there is a monster at the end of this post!

EEKS, a MONSTER! I told you not to scrool down.














The Montauk Monster!

Pardon my Grover, can you tell I have children!

A little bit of this and that!

10th annual teen choice awards were handed out last night. Yeah, Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers were BIG WINNERS! (I'm so old!) Here are all the results.

Miley was host of the Teen Choice show but made bigger news when more pictures of her in underwear appeared on the internet.

Someone really needs to take the camera away from this girl! Though, I'm starting to think its a publicity stunt...your thoughts...

Energy!

How far would you go to save gas money? how about billing the DOT for time spent sitting in construction zone? A Perrysburg, Ohio lady did just that billing the Michigan department of Transportation $16 for the gasoline she figured she'd wasted idling in traffic.

Lets also back charge the electric company for all the times we are without electric, same with cable and if the water is not clear, bill the water company for a purifier!

Politics!

Over the past few days, McCain’s campaign has needled Obama for saying that keeping tires inflated would save more oil than expanding offshore drilling. Republicans quickly attempted to link Obama’s comments with Jimmy Carter exhortations to save on heating bills by wearing sweaters.

This reminds me of a tire joke...Why did the blond carry dynamite in her trunk? In case she got a flat and had to blow up her tire! Thank you, thank you. Tip the bartenders and waitresses!

Is it the weekend yet?

Let me start with some weekend stuff...

First, please tell me I'm not the only person with a relative that knows every thing about everything. YUK!

This past weekend I met up with a running group and had the most enjoyable run on Sunday morning. I went to the Chagrin Valley Reservation in Willoughby Hills, Ohio, If you haven’t been there you need to go, tell you more about that in a minute.
It’s somewhat out of character for me to do something spontaneous like that, meet up with a group of people I‘v never met but I needed to do a long run and had no motivation to do it alone so I thought today would be the perfect day to try something different!
After parking my car at the “Strawberry Pond” picnic area I walked to a pavilion where there was a lady and her dogs setting up food and drinks on a picnic table. Looked like she had several boxes of donut, pastries and coffee, didn’t get close enough to the table to tell. Anyhow, I asked her if she was with the running group, she wasn’t but it was the coolest thing. The lady said if I didn’t find the group I could always come back and have breakfast. I asked what the breakfast was for and she said “just because!” Now I was interested, so I ask, are you having a family get together, meeting friend or anything? She said “no, every couple of Sundays I like to come up here and set up breakfast and invite people to join me!” She said it was a great way to meet people and she had some regulars who always stop by. How neat is that?
Anyhow, The run was all in the woods and on trails, We even went past strawberry pond, which was filled with lily pads and was so beautiful; I fell in love with the place.
There was even an unfinished Castle; I’m told lots of people go there for bridal party pictures. I’m including a link to the website because if your looking for a “One tank” trip to even just have a picnic and see nature, you need to check out the Chargin reservation in Willoughby Hills, Ohio. Breath taking…and I’m not a big nature guy.

ON WARD---



Scientist have discover the world smallest snake. I don't care how small it is if it gets close to me I will still run screaming like a little girl. (see above comment, not a nature guy!)
















I know it's almost the end of summer but I've got to get me a waboba ball. A waboba ball is a golf ball sized ball that bounces on water. Check out the infomercial for Waboba ball.



Finally,

Could you dive the whole summer on one tank of gas? Danni Brancaccio of Washington State is trying to do just that. Typically, Danni drives her car 1.5 miles to a park-and-ride facility where she gets on a bus. Brancaccio also picks up rides from friends and sometimes borrows her mother's car to avoid using her own...Wait, she's using her mothers car to avoid using her gas, that's cheating!

Make sure you listen to my "showgram" tonight from 7pm-Mid. on STAR 97.1 Ashtabula, Oh where I will be talking about these topics. If you have any comments feel free to post them here so I can share them on the showgram.

Happy friday!
