Have you said something nice to your bromate today?

Today's Tids Issue 3,116
Opening Stuff:

Every American should have at least one Ford in their garage. After all, Ford did it the American way, refusing the Gov handouts and pulling themselves out of the recession on their own. “Can-Do” is the unofficial US motto (Or should be), and Ford did it. By-the-way, I think their Fusion is a pretty hefty appearing car, and my auto expert says it is a winner!
 
Snowy Owls could supplant the happy-go-lucky Penguin atop the Top Ten “Cuteness” List if it wasn’t an efficient, violent predator.
 
This state has pretty much systematically made it difficult for any industry to survive here except two – Tourism and road construction. Of course they only repair and construct roads touring tourist season, making it inevitable that the tourist industry will follow the rest down the tubes. And then we will have only one, the taxpayer supported road construction industries -- making it easier for people looking for work to drive out of town. One new emerging industry, supporting and nurturing illegal immigrants, may supplant hospitality. And that is the reason why the state legislature wants to give driver licenses to illegals, to keep the road constructors busy. You see, they really do have a plan up there.
 
The Question:
What are considered the Top ten colleges/universities for theater Arts?
 
The Headlines:

Self Employed screenwriter – “Meet the Parents” -- Mary Ruth Clarke couldn’t get ObamaCare after dropping her Blue Cross because the Fed computer couldn’t figure out that Mary Ruth was her first name. Even after visiting the Government office four times with her Social Security card she couldn’t be verified. The people in the office said essentially, “Even though we are seeing you the computer can’t attest to the fact that we are seeing you.” A government incapable of adjusting to rational evidence is a dangerous thing. “But I’m me,” she kept on screaming as they put her in a straight jacket. Hope she has insurance.
 
In the pop-culture department I’m already sick of the word, “Bromance”. What’s that all about? I guess it is designed to encourage a new image for men, that good guy friends can achieve some level of a softer romantic sharing. Gone are the bar brawls and mooning together at ball games. Is john Kerry writing poems to Leonard de Caprio? Did I see Richard Sherman and Manny Ramierez holding hands? God help us. Bromance.
 
Is their life after Fargo? What to watch now, says I. Oh there’s “24” which I love, but that is also on the way to final conclusion. Fargo was a wonderful series that kept the heart rate high…even last night during a grand finale with an ending rather surprising in that it was so straight forward. But, one thing for sure, whether or not you loved the ending, the acting was outstanding throughout, each character, every episode. You just sat there hands balled into fists, heart pounding madly, and even as blood spurted from necks, a constant small smile of satisfaction across your face.
 
I guy yesterday called into the Dennis Miller radio show, identifying himself as a “Pacifist”. “Have some ideas that may serve as a solution to all of the wars in Middle East,” he said. “Shoot, “ replied Miller. “Nuke em’ “ said our peace loving caller. The radio went silent.
 
Book by it’s Cover, Department:
I would say that crab cakes always look good when served in a restaurant or in counters at take out food emporiums and fish markets. But, what’s inside can vary to extremes. I think ordering crab cakes is one of the true roulettes of life.
 
Did you know that Snowy Owls live on Lemmings? In fact their populations grow based upon the cyclical abundance of Lemmings. I’m thinking that Snowy Owls could be the answer to our no knowledge voter problem. They might also hurt the size of the Kardashian audience.
 
On the United States of America Senate floor yesterday, Harry Reid warned Snyder of the Skins that eventually he will be “forced” to change the name of his team. When did the word “forced” become so prominent in the lexicon of the government of the people, for the people, by the people?
 
I may have to start watching AGT despite Nick and the judges to follow local neighbor, Newport card magician Mat Franco. Maybe if he wins he can afford and extra “T” for Matt. You know how it is with struggling magicians.
 
Baseball continues it’s popularity despite the push from other sports, despite it’s own foibles because every day you watch you will see something unique, magnificent, beautiful. And in my estimation one of the most exciting, thrilling plays in all of sports is an outfielder running, charging, snagging and then throwing a rifle shot to the waiting catcher at home, nipping a flying base runner. “Yourrrrrrrrrrrr-out!
 
The new Amazon “Fire Phone” is on the record and as The Tids Digital Department said yesterday in anticipation of the event, it is mainly designed to help people buy stuff form the home company in Seattle. It has a three D opportunity which is certainly unique, but almost everything else is the same as everybody smart phone seller. I have a Fire tablet, and I can say that while certainly adequate, it really doesn’t seem to operate as smoothly as the Apple alternative.
 
The Nordic Lodge, a buffet style restaurant in the woods of South County serves 6-7,000 pounds of lobster a week!
 
The Answer:
First we have Suny-Purchase. (It’s a across from a bar where we spent time I our youth, and was the old Rockefeller farm.) Next is The Julliard School the Rutgers Mason Gross School, Yale, Carnegie Mellon, NYU, North Carolina School of Arts, California Institute of Arts, Northwestern and U Cal San Diego. On other lists you see the addition of others like then Princeton review which adds Emerson in Boston, Wagner, Drew and yes, little Muhlenburg in Pennsylvania to a list that also includes the schools above.
 
It used to be “Brother can you spare a dime?” Now, it’s, “Bro, give me a hug.” Bromance. Gadzooks, what is this world coming to? The next thing you know they will be banning sugary drinks.
 
They have?
