BlogDISS!

Ya know ... I usually like to find some sort of photo or graphic to go with a post. But you're just going to have to LOOK at this one. I mean, really ... wow. What's worse: the celebrity's leg, or this blogger's face?

Me

Women only. One of many, apparently, but to be fair (and lazy?) this is the first one I found.

"The Sun" online. I go here a lot.

"Andrea Harner, owns the first blog I ever saw maybe two years or so ago (I was surfing for a picture of a dog) now has a few other sites/blogs, including "Modern Pooch""

For example, have you ever been faced with such a difficult decision as:
"Prince or Michael Jackson: Who's the real King of Pop?" Apparently, the people in England don't understand something about Michael Jackson, I think ...

Here's another U.K. "bloid" I go to, "The Mirror." (I hereby claim credit for coining the term "Bloid!")

Two cool houses for sale. I like the 2nd one.

Cool coffee mugs (Two sizes available; nice price. They need to make 'custom' mugs available).

Andrea Harner, owns the first blog I ever saw maybe two years or so ago (I was surfing for a picture of a dog) now has a few other sites/blogs, including "Modern Pooch" which is for, well ... dogs.

Also in "The Sun," Sir Elton John apparently thinks the Internet should be shut down for oh ... maybe five years, he says.

As reported in "The Huffington Post," the collapse of the I-35 bridge in Minneapolis is serving as an event for the various media outlets to practice their grassroots reporters (that's you and your camera-enabled cellphone, etc.). MY question: How long until this picture gets updated?

They're starting to worry about George Clooney I've decided that, when this guy is "old," I'll be old too. But don't tell him, I don't think he could take the pressure.

I've decided to have some fun. Here we go!

Here's the email I got today:

Dearest Reverend,

Thank you very much! I have contacted Dr. Saint Paul and provided him with all of my bank information so that he can transfer the money to me.

When I receive the money, I will be sure to send some to you so that you can go to school and improve your spelling.

Thank you again.

I will remember him for this:

"Okay here we go! We got a real pressure cooker going here,two down, nobody on,no score, bottom of the ninth ...

There's the windup, and there it is,a line shot up the middle, look at him go! This boy can really fly!

He's rounding first and really turning it on now,he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second;the ball is bobbled out in center,and here comes the throw, and what a throw!

He's gonna slide in head first,here he comes, he's out! No. Wait. Safe. Safe at second base. "Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!"

This kid really makes things happen out there.

Batter steps up to the plate here's the pitch,he's going, and what a jump he's got,he's trying for third, here's the throw,its in the dirt, safe at third!

Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out there,almost daring him to try and pick him off.

The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it's bunted,bunted down the third base line,the suicide squeeze is on!

Here he comes, squeeze play,it's gonna be close, here's the throw,here's the play at the plate,

"Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!"

Yup, that's Phil "Scooter" Rizzuto's portion of the classic 1977 song by Meat Loaf, "Paradise By The Dashboard Light."

As the story goes, Rizzuto claimed he did not know his part would be used to refer to sex, but Meat Loaf claims he knew exactly how they were going to use it. Rizzuto tried to distance himself from the song when he got angry letters from some Yankee fans with conservative values. Meat Loaf asked him to tour with him, but Rizzuto turned him down.

(Is it just me?)

The dude on the bottom is (supposedly) Abdullah Gul, Turkey's current Foreign Minister and the odds-on favorite to be the next president of that country. Maybe the rumors are true? George has found his "way out" and is moving to Turkey? You'll see! Just like my prediction that Michael and Janet Jackson are really the same person ... You'll see!! So, who wants to make a bet on when will be the first comment made on the resemblance by George ... on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno?

• More about Abdullah
• This is Walter Pidgeon (I don't think he looks like George, but my Mom does.)

Here's a cool 'blog-esque' bunch of interesting factoids about 'The Church of John & Tom."

I was wondering 'just how many well-known actors and actresses go to Sunday School with L. Ron Hubbard' and stumbled upon this one. I'm also still looking for someone who's actually achieved that state of self-realization through Scientology such that they can levitate themselves. I don't know where I read that, but I'm pretty sure that I read it while researching just how screwed up Tom Cruise really is back in the days when he was making headlines for standing on Oprah's furniture with his shoes on.

Besides the interesting read, they also sell cool t-shirts here. 'Nuff said!
