Opening Stuff:
They say the President finally used the Veto word yesterday. I think they are wrong. I think he has been using it all along as in the context of..."If you don't do what I'm askin' I'm sendin' Vito to break your legs!". Wadda country.
"Circus Smirkus" is worth the price of admission.
How many people going into a fast food restaurant do you think read the calorie content of meals they order? How many do you think know exactly what a calorie does?
The Question:
Three Quickies! 1. What is fibula? 2. What does Mahatma Gandhi and Genghis Khan have in common? 3. Name one of the early achievements of Romans. Bonus! What was the name of Bigs Bunny's debut movie?

A meal that cuts french fries in half and substitutes apple slices for dessert is not "Happy". It's MMMMMM --Meals My Mother Made Me Munch -- all over again.
America's Got Talent Department:
First, Mauricio Herrera sucked, looking more like a Gong Show loser. And, the three little kids were cute but not as good as some first and second grade end of year talent recitals I've seen throughout the years. But, how do you "X" cuteness? The rope skippers were energetic -- and good, but an act that could wear out its welcome. Seth Grebel's escape act was professional and he could move on. The band Poplyfe captured my interest, but I found my mind wandering. Maybe YoYo man Ian Johnson could join up with the Summer Skippers...again good but limited. I am not a big fan of the Rat Pack songbook, but I have to admit, the kid Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. did the crooners proud. I can't watch Captain and maybelle and I hope they lose. Period. I'm not interested in cheerleaders Becquerel cleavage is not talent. Monet is another of those cases where you wnat to "X" but the heart breaking story says know. Professor Splash is a hold your breath act, but...common. It's one and done. Lys Agnes is brilliant and the most talented of the bunch. The final four from this group should be Agnes, Murphy, Grabel and...and...Poplyfe or Monet.
Netflix is one of my hero company's because they are so efficient. But their streaming while cool, actually sucks unless you love loser movies and old TV programs. Now, the mighty Wal-Mart rears one of it's serpent's heads with fresh to DVD streaming movies. And. that could be a huge problem for Netflix future. Netflix should have a better price (If they can get fesh to DVD movies) because while Wal-Mart says their movies range from a $1 to $4.99, I suspect the new ones are in the higher price range. The best part... another big business war in the world of paradigm change. I love watching the movements.
I just saw a bunch of people dancing the "Charleston" and it is a totally happy event compared to many of today's dances.
I think we're living in an "In your face" world. "These are my morals, my life style, my ethics...and you'd better get used to it -- or else!"
I just want to get back to unlocked doors and open minds.
Almost Near: chapter 31 continues. --"Jesus! What happened!"
"Her car slowed, and I thought she started turn. I wanted to get out of the way." Audrey put the car in Park and turned to Tucker. "How is your long lost former fiance?"
"Not good. I would say very bad. But, she mentioned something about a picture of a girl form the New Castle High School Yearbook being shown on TV, and Thelma -- she's a grouchy waitress at the little cafe in Lobster cove..."
"God, everything is so quaint up your way. Go on."
"Thanks for the comment. It's really helpful. Samantha is from New Castle and so am I. And I bet that picture was probably of her. And here's the bad part. She told me she didn't recognize the girl."
"That does sound bad. Uh-oh. She's pulled the car out of the driveway and is continuing down the road again. Maybe she saw us, or got worried about about all of a sudden being followed on road that nobody travels; Right after two strangers show up at her house. Maybe she's smarter than I think. Get out a map. Where could she go on this road? We are going to have to guess at her options, or she will never lead us to where we think she should lead us." Audrey now frowned as she put the car in reverse while Tucker looked at the map.
Before Tucker could speak, Audrey suggested that he should call an airline and arrange a trip back to his friends side. "She needs you." There was a genuine kindness in Audrey's voice.
Tucker looked at her. He heard it too. Now he felt torn.
The unintended consequences of the liberalized "Illegal" immigrant laws that allows kids to become citizens with freebies is what 0-Man recently stated as part of self-serving speech, "...The heartbreak of families split up by deportation..." How about this -- Deport the entire family! No heartbreak. Or how about the cost of all the freebies that's draining the National Wallet. There is nothing good about "Illegal" immigration, especially the condoning of lawbreaking. And it all gets worse when Pols try to fix it.
The Answer:
1. A fibula is a small lie. 2. Gandhi and Khan both have strange names. 3. The Roman's first major achievement was learning to speak Latin. Bonus: Bugs made his debut in "Wild Hare" in 1941.
Better sell all you stocks. One of the major contributors to the Dot Com irrational exuberance era was the over expansion of Krispy Kreme and the out of controls stock price. Dunkin Donuts went public today in a big way. A sweet sign. Or a stale economy emerging.
Are you happy yet?
