Today's Tids Issue 5,550
Basic Precepts work:
Happy Summer, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!! Ah Summer, where it is already impossible to get a square inch of sand on a beach in this state of beaches. It’s never been so crowded, say the locals of which I am one. This is not new however but only astonishing for June now as the heat came earlier. But the good news is that today begins the shortening of days meaning it will soon be autumn and cool days and the empty beaches will once again be wonderful places to walk.
The opera star tenor was lip-syncing the singing of his understudy backstage. The audience experiences Plecebo Domingo! (Thanks to Frank and Ernie.) Well, I laughed.
Oddly, several readers thought it a great new idea to have the readers figure out the question from the answer. Of course, the error was pure and simple a Tidster oversight the question was, what are the ten top rides at Disney World?
The Question:
Name the Top Ten Celebrity DUI’s.
The Headlines:
--Nvidia Surge Pushes S&P, Nas Higher; New Jobless Claims Decline.
--Conflagration Overwhelming New Mexico Villages.
--Putin Visits Viet Nam to Improve Ties Between Two Countries.
--First Tropical Storm Alberto Lands in Texas; More Rain for Waterlogged State.
--BoA Tells Detroit Big Three Automakers They Can't Make Money in China Anymore; Just Drop it Says Chief Analyst Murphy.
--Louisiana Gov Orders Ten Commandments Hung in all Classrooms in all State Supported Schools and Colleges.
There seems to be a hiccup in the tried and true passive investment strategy designed to protect savings of retirees. You can miss out on a Nvidia. In fact, a lot of the so-called market strength has to do with the super star of the moment and Microsoft and Apple. FOMO lives in Wall Steet.
A king carried environmentalism too far when he prohibited hunting of any kind. Soon the realm was overrun with lions and tigers and bears. "Oh My!" shouted the people. They revolted and threw the king out of the country. It was the first time the reign was called because of the game.
Just in case you are interested, the Tids has had a rash of mighty errors lately. I tried to plow though without making excuses. But my mind lately has been a greater sieve than normal. I’m moving, and between backing filling nail holes... and phone calls from real estate agents and lawyers. No wonder I'm confused.
Somebody says there is a debate coming up in a week. I am so not looking forward to that and it entirely escaped my mind. Let’s hope it doesn't turn off all voters.
Stephen King describes the campaign between 78 and 81 year old presidential candidates as the “Antique Roadshow.".
I'm figuring out who the players are on my beloved Red Sox and they are now actually resembling major leaguers.
If you have been reading this Tids thing for the past 20 plus years you may know I have always been a big supporter of reminding the populace of the Ten Commandments. So, I come down in concept with the Louisiana Gov. What's wrong with letting humans know that a basic tenant of civilized society is not killing, not stealing; honoring parents. etc. Go Moses!
AI will never understand a good shaggy dog story. That is, if there is a good shaggy dog story.
Not getting on beaches is a new summer tragedy, but not as severe as the increase in shootings in hot cities. Maybe we should post the Ten Commandments on street corners. And send them to some lawmakers who condone stealing as a human right.
I always feel distraught when I hear people say it’s ok to steal up to X$$$ because it is only a misdemeanor. Violating a person's sanctity is way more than that. Everything is not just about money.
The Answer:
--#10 was Tim Allen. Working to the top we have Aaron Carter, Mike Tyson, Khloe Kardashian, Justin Bieber, Lindsy Lohan, Michael Phelps, Tiger Woods, Mel Gibson and #1, Paris Hilton. And that was all before Justin Timberlake this weekend.
A little late tonight, but we made it. I'll find some music for tomorrow that will waltz us into the weekend. Sleep well.
