Jenna Bush Engaged, Texas Keg Distributors in a Panic

With the engagement party blowout, the inevitable couple’s shower sloshfest, the “let’s choose stationary” and wedding dress fitting happy hours, and the 17-day bachelorette party leading up to the 172 kegger reception at the ranch, Texas residents may want to start stocking up on booze rations now.

And we would expect the tightest security in history, as the Secret Service struggles to keep Dick Cheney unarmed and prevent leaked photos of W. doing Jello shots out of Condi’s navel.

In a statement, the White House confirmed the good news, writing "President and Mrs. Bush are happy to accept the resignation of Jenna Bush.

A Man and the Moon

Hmmmmmmmm........ A Lunar Eclipse and Roberto Gonzales announcing his resignation all within the same 24 hr period of time.

Still doubting the powers and goodness of the moon Goddess?

'Nuff said.

Peace.

Post Turtle

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to former Texas Governor, George W. Bush and his elevation to the White House.

The old Texan said, "Well, ya know, Little Georgie Bush is just a ' post turtle'." Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle'was.

The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."

The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain, "You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there,he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just want to help the dumbshit get down before he hurts himself."

Pay It Forward

Went to Albertson's after work yesterday to pick up a few things. Got to the express lane with my basket of stuff and started emptying it on the belt. I noticed a guy behind me with a bag of parsley or some type of herb. I asked him if he wanted to step in front of me. He smiled, nodded and thanked me.

He finished paying for his bag of herbs and turned around said thanks again and gave me a card for a free meal at Pollo Tropical! Turned out he was a manager at the newly opened franchise. Cool Beans!

It was a nice reminder that being nice normally doesn't cost anything but a few seconds of your time and also inspires others to be kind in return....maybe not to you, but to someone they stumble across.

Keep the happiness level of the world at maximum capacity people!

When You Are In Deep Trouble, Look Straight Ahead, Keep Your Mouth Shut and Say Nothing.

Kathy Griffin

Went to Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater last night to see Kathy Griffin. Frigin' HILARIOUS! The woman is a self professed "D-List" celebrity, and I think she'll never rise above maybe C-List only because she skewers everyone and anyone in Hollywood with her observations and sharp tongue.

Kathy Griffin..in Clearwater...Oh Yeah she ripped the Scientologists to shreds...along with their savior Tom Cruise, The Clear One.

One more comedian in town this week.....remember Judy Tenuta? Oh yeah, the Love Goddess is coming to The Improv.

Two "moons" on August 27, 2007 - BIG FAT LIE

Just got an email stating:

Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky Starting August.
It will look as large as the full moon to the naked Eye. This will happen On Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles of earth. Be sure to watch The sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am. It will look like the earth has 2 moons. The Next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.
Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY Will ever see it again.

This a BFL.......Check it out HERE to read why if you don't believe me.

Cute, but still kinda sad.

I almost forgot to put this out here.

Yesterday, on my way to St Pete, I needed to stop at the bank to get a little bit of cash. I pulled in through the ATM drive around thing. I was pulling up along the drive thru windows just before the ATM and couldn't believe it....at the jog in the building, there was a mama duck sitting on what looked to be about a dozen eggs.

At first I thought how cute, how cool and snapped a pic with the cellphone and pulled up to do my business with the machine. While I was waiting for it to spit out my cash, I was looking around at the 4 lane road and at the mini strip mall across the street and thought this is really kinda sad. The mama was probably at a loss as to where to lay her eggs with all the development around. Since there are really no trees or bushes around, she found the mulch at the side of a stone building in the shade as the best bet. That's really wrong.

I was glad to see that the employees, or someone, was empathetic/sympathetic enough to put out some fresh water for the mama.

Makes you rethink priorities when you see more nature displaced for our own selfish conveniences.

La Vie En Rose

Went to see La Vie En Rose this afternoon at the Paradiso Beach Theater on St Pete Beach....what a great movie. It is a biopic of Edith Piaf. Not a pick-me-up, but awesome music and performances. HIGHLY recommend it. If you want to check out the movie site before going, Just click HERE.

There was an HYSTERICAL story in the news this week of some guy trying to stow away a monkey under his hat onto a plane (and I believe they even said under his hair under the hat?). Discovered because the monkey "misbehaved"?

Might he have just spanked the monkey prior to boarding?

A lot less muss and fuss.

August 9, 1974

Remember when we used to hold elected officials accountable?

Nuff said.

Sweet Mercy, It's high time for a vacation.

Been working and working and working. Took a day off last Monday...to get the truck's 30K service and new tires. $1500 by the end of the day, the stuff we always daydream about on a day off.

I love my job, but endless 9-10 hr days starting with a screeching 4x4 inch plastic box tend to wear at sanity. Good thing I work with some really cool people or I woulda probably been Baker Act'd by now.

Really looking forward to some days off next month (yes a month, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel) to head to the beach. Just the idea of waking up only because it's gotten light outside and days of sand and water sloughing and rinsing the moss off the soul is enough to make me want to jump around like a 5 yr old.

A couple days of eating, drinking, eating and laying around in the sand. A day of walking the beach picking up all the broken beach toys, cig butts, plastic bottles, etc. the tourist (the locals would never do that!) leave behind. Maybe a day of tourist stops and the like topped off by a couple more days of eating, drinking and more eating.....that would fix my wagon.
