Max Headroom ???

Tori was invited, yesterday, to attend a polo match at the Santa Barbara Polo Grounds. She got all dressed in a sun dress and had a wide brim straw hat and high heels. Her friend rented a cabana next to the field. It came with finger sandwiches, drinks and a waiter. She said that she felt overdressed until she got there and parked our Honda Pilot amongst the Rolls-Royces, Porsches and Maseratis.

Remember Max Headroom from the 80's ?  Well, heeeeee's back.....





I just read that we will be treated to a new reality show next November:  "Sarah Palin's Alaska".  Supposedly (yet to be seen), it will not be about Sara Palin's family or Wasilla, but will be hosted by her for $1M per episode....Give me a break!  I hope someone can write her dialog in such a way that she can get her foot out of her mouth even for a short time...

Ever wonder what would happen if the Coyote caught the Roadrunner ???

I see Patricia Neal died yesterday.  She was my cousin's next-door neighbor in Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard.  Her house was used for the Sheriff's office in "Jaws". My cousin said that he can make out his house in the movie as well.  She was very talented and special in "Hud".  Unfortunately she led a very tragic life, family-wise and health-wise.

The Things That Drive A Sane Person Mad

You have to try on a pair of sunglasses with that stupid little plastic thing in the middle of them.

The person behind you in the supermarket runs his cart into the back of your ankle.

The elevator stops on every floor and nobody gets on.

There's always a car riding your tail when you're slowing down to find an address.

You open a can of soup and the lid falls in.

There's a dog in the neighborhood that barks at EVERYTHING.

You can never put anything back in a box the way it came.

Your tire gauge lets out half the air while you're trying to get a reading.

A station comes in brilliantly when you're standing near the radio but buzzes, drifts and spits every time you move away.

There are always one or two ice cubes that won't pop out of the tray.

You wash a garment with a tissue in the pocket and your entire laundry comes out covered with lint.

The car behind you blasts its horn because you let a pedestrian finish crossing.

A piece of foil candy wrapper makes electrical contact with your filling (or braces).

You set the alarm on your digital clock for 7pm instead of 7am.

The radio station doesn't tell you who sang that song.

You rub on hand cream and can't turn the bathroom doorknob to get out.

People behind you on a supermarket line dash ahead of you to a counter just opening up.

Your glasses slide off your ears when you perspire.

You can't look up the correct spelling of a word in the dictionary because you don't know how to spell it.

You have to inform five different sales people in the same store that you're just browsing.

You had that pen in your hand only a second ago and now you can't find it.

You reach under the table to pick something off the floor and smash your head on the way up.


Politics from a Star-Wars Perspective:

A few days after Christmas, a mother was working in the kitchen listening to her son playing with his new electric train set in the living room. She heard the train stop and her son yell "All you sons of bitches who want to get off, get the hell off now, because this is the last stop! All of you sons of bitches that are getting on, get your asses in the train cause were leaving". The mother went in and told her son, "we don't use that kind of language in this house." Now I want you to go into your room for two hours. When you come out, you can play with your train, but I don't want to hear any bad language.

Two hours later, the son comes out of his room and continues playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard the son say, "All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for riding with us today and hope your ride was a pleasant one. We hope you will ride with us again soon. For those of you who are just boarding the train, we ask that you stow all of your hand luggage under the seat, remember there is no smoking except on the club car. We hope you have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today".

"For those of you who are pissed off with the two hour delay , please see the bitch in the kitchen."
