Today's 3,000th Tid
Opening Stuff:
3,000 Teds!
33,437 Typos!
Ah the slings and arrows one must endure for sake of a slip of a finger. Occasionally though, there is more to this morning elixir than the occasional mental laziness. A morsel. A funny thing. A unique observation. As the subtitle of the on-line Blog says, "Observing the achievements and foibles of Humans. Opinions and puns. Practical and ethereal. Politics, Arts, Culture, Sports, History, news. Occasionally funny." So on we go, collecting observations of the human race in action. Sometimes pretty. Sometimes ugly. Sometimes heartwarming. Sometimes very, very confusing. So thanks for listening. Words are meaningless until somebody reads 'em.
Today It's minus 77 degrees in International Falls Minnesota -- a USA record cold! Maybe we have global cooling. Maybe we have more water in the ocean because it isn't hot enough to vaporize as in the past. Maybe the brightest and the best got it ass backwards. Maybe that's why Gore made millions selling off a bad idea.
From the past:
As we all know, Mahatma Gandhi walked barefoot, which produced a huge set of calluses on his feet. He ate very little, which made him frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him....a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis. A real Groaner and one of my all time favorites.

Goodies and Oldies, Department:
In case you missed it, the top concert tour for the year was Bon Jovi, earning $259 Mil. The rest of the top 5 were Beyonce, Pink, Justin Bieber and Bruce Springfield. Some others on the top list were Taylor Swift, Elton John, Deperche Mode, Rihanna, One Direction, Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney. The Top 20 on the Word music tours earned circuit had ticket sales of $2.3 Billion. Music hath charms that loosen tight wallets.
This mornings I put on my heavier shoes for snow shovelng, I was reminded of the day when I bought them at the Timberland store in Boston. The sales clerks were plentiful and seemed to enjoy each other. I the customer was another matter. The attractive just out of college woman reluctantly brought me a couple of shows to try on, and had no knowledge about
my questions, and in fact stared angrily that I would ask. As I sat
there wondering why she hated me so, I heard another clerk ask my gal
how she liked her new "sales" job. "Oh," she gushed, "I love it...except for the customers." God help us.
This will disgust you, but it shows just how uncivilized the the world continues to be (And I'm not just talking about throwing Dukin' Donut coffee cups and Mac-wrappers on public streets). When Kim executed his Uncle and Uncle's aids, are you ready... he fed them live to 120 starved-for-three-days, hungry dogs! It actually has a name, "quan jue" -- "Execution by dogs" Are you still not worried about him getting the Bomb?
Patient: "I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home.' "
Doctor: "That sounds like the 'Tom Jones Syndrome.' "
Patient: "Is it common?"
Doctor: "It's not unusual."
Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
It appears Hollywood Execs were all expecting a great 3,000th Tid to read this weekend and forgot to release movies, except this ghastly pic to honor my achievement in focusing a negative light on the glittering town:
--Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones begins as a group of party goers set out with a camera to investigate after a woman dies in ten floor beneath theirs. In her apartment they discover items of Black Magic and the missing tapes from Paranormal Activity 3. One man, Jesse, discovers a mark on his arm causing strange forces to pursue him. His friends try to save hm from the unknown. Oooo-Weeee-Ooooo.
The Conscience: Chapter 32 continues.
Evvy looked great and she certainly helped my image as I drove my warn out Jeep through the magnificent gate to to Jame Smith's palace on the banks of the Chesapeake. I saw glimpse of the bay flickering through trees as we neared the front door. I felt pretty good and having Evvy with me certainly improved my courage. But, Mr. Popov lurked near my heart in my vest pocket, and I would certainly ask him for a hand as I got out of the car. Two large men ran to open each of our doors, basically
eliminating my chance to sneak a nip. I smiled thanks as I cursed his
presence. I looked over and Evvy was just floating, looking around at the impressive estate. She looked like she belonged here, and who knows, if she had a man with balls instead of an addiction, she may have been here.
"Jeffery!," I looked up to see a casually yet beautifully dressed James Smith heading towards us, big smile and confident walk. He immediately oozed his charm on my vulnerable wife, and I could see she melted. He shook
my hand vigorously, and the happy trio marched up the yellow brick
road. I didn't make that up, the bricks in his driveway were yellow.
"You'd probably like a drink, Jeff. Why don't you enjoy your self," he spread his hands towards a loaded bar, "while I take Evelyn on a tour."
Frankly James, I'd like to see this place myself. My wife looked at me like she had just won the lottery. We took off, James talking constantly, but pleasantly and informative. "Frankly James...wasn't that Jessie's brother?
The Answer:
Of course I'm right down the middle. At times I appear right leaning because the right is typically the most logical and just plain correct, as its name states. I just follow the common sense. Bonus: Barack Obama talks a good game but he has changed the attitude of the US government towards citizens through his agencies who are constantly cluttering Americans by altering or adding regulations. For instance, to get OSHA into the formerly excluded Family Farm, his labor department changed the definition of the word farm. A family farm under the new rules no longer includes barns and silos! This admin is eating away at what America was from within, and Congress, the check and balancer, can't stop his exec decisions! Scary to me. Bonus 2: A detailed survey asking Americans who was the most liberal President has Obama 57%, FDR 22%, Someone Else 6.9%, Jimmy Carter, 4.6%, Lyndon B Johnson 3.3% and JFK and Woodrow Wilson tied at 2.2%. And Mr. fairness, Newt Gingrich, rates as most "Socialist" Presidents Teddy Roosevelt (Interest in "Greening", Trustbusting)), FDR, "Ike" (Highest taxes ever on rich - 94%) and of course 0-Man, who he called, "The most radical leftist President in American History." I just report the facts I spend hours looking for to make my case.
As the cow said to another, "It's true, no bull, I was artificially inseminated this morning."
Thanks, my friends.
