The movie is on TCM and I love the line.
Many of the news, and I say that with a question, items on my homepage are videos. Every so often something catches my eye and I want more information. So, I click on the link which opens a video that I immediately close. I do not want to be told the story, I know how to read.
Here is a list of some, not all, of the headlines today.
Gaga Shows To Much? Brian Williams Rips Trump. Suri Throws Temper Tantrum. Kim Shows Off Slimmed Figure. Colo Gov's Pot Warning. Stewart Interview Gets Awkward. Brooke Shields Tragic Loss. Chaz Bono Plans Major Change.
Chaz Bono Plans Major Change? This caught my attention. Not enough to investigate the video but Chaz is a man who was born a woman. I think that would be his one gimme. You know, like if we all got one take-back or one do-over in life. What could possibly top that?
How appropriate! I wanted more information on the Colorado Gov's Pot Waning. I clicked on the link and was shown a video news clip about the break-in at the Napa Valley home of Nancy Pelosi, the house minority leader. The bugler was a twenty-one-year-old who was on probation for grand theft. She was not home, he denied knowing who owned the house. "I was just looking to score so I could afford a move to Colorado."
And the Colorado Gov's warning? He said under federal law pot is not legal. So, don't break out the Cheetos too early. He also said ”The voters have spoken and we have to respect their will…This will be a complicated process, but we intend to follow through.“.....remember, no sampling from 9 to 5.
I'm not too familiar with Gaga.....This is really strange, well maybe not? I thought Gaga Goo Goo had a nice ring to it. And, to tell you the truth I wasn't sure how goo goo was spelled, so I checked by writing it in my search bar. The first hit was; Lady GaGa launches Gaga Goo Goo babywear. Babywear? WTF? The woman who is in the news today for Showing Too Much has a line of baby clothes. Designer Diapers?
Ellen Barkin, I have enjoyed her work over the years. She is currently in a sit-com "The New Normal". I've not seen it as I don't watch TV comedy. If she married Snoop Doog and hyphenated, she would be Ellen Barkin-Doog.
Brian Williams is the news anchor on the NBC Evening News. On election night the wise and powerful sage, Donald Trump was using social media to voice his opinion on the presidential race and outcome. Brian Williams, without saying as much, reminded the world (like we needed reminding) what a jerk Trump is. He (Trump) should take a hint from Scrooge McDuck and spend his waking hours in a vault counting his money. And for heaven's sake, cut that hair.
Brooke Shield's mother passed away. Suri is the spawn of Tom Cruise and what's her name, I don't care about her tantrum. I don't care about Kim's figure and even less about Stewart and her interview.
The majority of this, and most of the prominent 'news' on my homepage is fodder. Fodder.....according to my on-line dictionary, fodder is something fed to domestic animals; especially: course food for cattle, horses, and sheep. Like I said, fodder.....fodder in and cow pies, horse manure, and sheep shit out.
Now you have no excuse for a parking ticket. Walnut Creek, California is a town about twenty minutes southwest of us. I lived there from 1971 to 1978. It's changed, a lot. The web site claims a population of 66,584 and a detached single family home price average of $857,136.00. The home price is from 2006, probably should update that. It's a nice town with lots of coffee shops and restaurants and retail stores downtown. And it's parking meters take Visa.
Parking is twenty five cents an hour with a two hour limit. So, if you don't have two quarters to rub together you can whip out the credit card. Or, you can take your chances. If you do get a ticket, take heart, you can pay it on-line. And for that you'll need a Visa.
Watching commercial daytime television can be very depressing. Diabetic supplies, life insurance, health insurance, catheters, ache and pain remedies, scooters, life alerts.
Life alerts? Now these are "I've Fallen And I can't Get Up" or "HELP" devices. And, with the device worn on the wrist, like a watch, you can go down anywhere. It won't be long before someone comes up with an alert system that monitors pulse and respiration. This system will be low cost. When the alert is sent it'll be too late to do anything.
One of my favorite movie scenes is in "Blazing Saddles." The cowboys sitting around the campfire, eating beans, and farting. Now, I hate cheap fart jokes but at the time, this was so unexpected and so over the top the audience, me included, couldn't stop laughing. Go ahead, you know you want to.
And, speaking of beans, how about Beano.....after nine years of development it was introduced to the world. Who thinks of something like this? Hey, lets make a pill that eats intestinal gas and work on it for NINE YEARS.
Now you can take a Beano tablet or a strawberry-flavored "Meltaway."
I've never taken Beano, I don't know anyone that takes Beano, and why would I, it's not something a person would announce. I am curious, when you use Beano, where does the trapped gas go?.....please pass the beans.
