If could go back in time

Seeing Shatner on Conan reminded me of this gem I found a few years ago.  If I could go back in time I would pay $100 go back to 1978 to sit in the audience at this award show.

Nice farewell speech by the pitbull.  Why don't you stop talking for a while.

Know your farmer

After the sugar buzz crash from  the sudden withdrawal of the nightly Tour de France fix, the K Lady and I ventured back into the real world.

Went to see Food Inc at the Moxie

Fantastic.  You will feel like a dickhead for eating fast food.

WWJD

You know the germans make good stuff.  

Help a brother out

One of the down sides of having a sweet wife is that on occasion you wind up with a few of these.  This little son of a gun was found at the garden.

About 10 weeks old.  A pretty nice little fella.  

I am paying for shots and snipping. 

Perfect for Sophia Nelson or Eliana Farasy.  

Somebody take this thing off my hands.

I couldn't believe my eyes

Mike Mertz.  

Approximately 7:15. 

On his bike.  

Near the James River bridge.

No helmet. 

Still looks fast.

Wow

That's Dumb.

That's odd. 

That's a train wreck 

Random thoughts

 I overhead two women at lunch talk about John and Kate plus 8 for 45 straight minutes.  Who gives a shit?    Is this where we are?  Is this what accounts for doing something, getting a TV show because you have a bunch of kids. American Idol contributes nothing but shitty pop music, but its a phenomenon. How many people can name the other ten men who walked on the moon after Armstrong and Aldrin?  How many people can name a Medal of Honor recipient?   We have a couple wars going on, health care is ruining the country, the economy is in the tank but apparently the only thing that carries any water in this country is going on TV and acting like a dick.

I will not be watching Fanarchy on Versus (see previous comment).  Makes me long for the Tapout ads.

That Lance Armstrong is one savvy bike rider.  I'll bet Contador is muy furioso.  

Who is the target market for the Progressive insurance ads with Flo?

That Roger Federer is one savvy tennis player.  What a match. 

The Basque and the Dutch have some great names.

Found some Hamm's.  A little thin.
