Ironic! The Guy Needs A Dollar...

This was at Amazon.com this morning. It's a little ironic. Most of their songs are 99 cents. And this one guy, Aloe Blacc, needs a dollar, and they're giving his song away!

The High Cost Of Diesel (Funny Gas Station Mistake)

I saw this sign today, Sept. 6. I didn't have a camera with me, so I hoped it'd still be there after I made it all the way home and went back. So there you have it, a gallon of diesel for the incredibly low price of $9.25!

The Worst Baggage Ever

If you didn't see it, you missed a heck of a "Baggage" last night!

The Funniest Line Heard At Church Today

A friend was talking about her 11-year-old niece, who was in church one Easter hearing about Jesus' death and resurrection. She asked, "Isn't he the same guy who died last year?"

Miscellaneous

Put another quarter in the vibrating bed, dear, 'cause there's not much life left in you. Possibly a good country song for some creative composer.

Stopped by a rubbish sale today. Didn't find much.

Learned at Dairy Queen: They sell enough bananas each year for banana splits that it would meet the needs of 43,552 monkeys for one full year. It's been a long time since I've had a banana split. Years in fact. So thanks to me there's at least a few monkeys who are still being fed.

I saw the CD "Now That's What I Call Music" number 8 today, but it was pretty messy, so I didn't get it. I really didn't recognize many songs on it but would like to have the entire series. I only have a few so I know it's not realistic that this rate. I looked at the notes and it was dedicated to Aaliyah, someone I'm not familiar with. She has a song on it and it said she died in a plane crash. They also listed the others who died at the same time. By saying I'm not familiar with her, it does seem to ring a bell that a celebrity singer died back then (2001) and I do remember seeing the name somewhere. The name I think of for someone who died, and again I think in a plane crash [turns out it was a car wreck], was Left Eye Lopes, from TLC. Anyway, I didn't get the number 8 CD, but that doesn't mean I won't go back tomorrow and get it. A little toothpaste on it, rub it around and it might play OK.

I don't mind sneezing two or three times. But today, with a cold, I've sneezed at least 20 times. It gets old after a while.

That banana trivia from DQ reminds me of an article I read a month or so ago, that bananas (as we know them) are endangered. Because of something like this: they had to breed bananas in a particular way to get them the way we want them. But it might be that the strain is too narrow and thereby threatened by disease or other negative conditions. So eat up now while you still have the chance!

John McCain's Email Hacked

Unfortunately, there wasn't much there...

No Vetting Allowed

John McCain's just an old fashioned guy. You know, he only met Sarah Palin that one time. And he doesn't believe in vetting on the first date.

Alaska: Foreign, Exotic

How much different is Alaska from Hawaii? As far as being foreign and exotic?

I don't know if I want to trust a vice president whose next door neighbor is Russia. When you go borrow a cup of sugar from the Russians what kind of quid pro quo do they expect?

So, Alaska. I'm going to have to agree with Cokie Roberts on this one. That's not America!

"I Love Losing"

The all-celebrity cast of "I Love Lucy" get together to celebrate their Emmy win. We all love Lucy, then there's Desi, Vivian, and of course grumpy old William Frawley.

Is This Elitism or What?

Is it elitism to take your butler with you to the grocery store?

That's one question. Other thoughts on this picture. He could be an undercover police man, trying to crack down on the ever worsening problem of shoplifting eggplant.

The woman's pose with her kids looks like she's trying to remind them what she's taught them about making for the exits if there's trouble. "If we hurry we can get out of here without him noticing. Run, Stacy, run!"
