It's Super Bowl Weekend - Let The Parties Begin !

This is Super Bowl weekend and there will be parties galore. As per my ususal, I'll be off to AREA 51 at Lakes Cafe to see the new Karaoke emcee, have a few cocktails and ostensibly solve all current local, national and (such as) world problems. There's a chance I might even make a wager or two as to the Super Bowl winner. I like both teams but my prediction is the New England Patriots winning by ten points. The current spread is N.E giving 12 points and if that goes up to 15 points, I'll take N.Y.

That aside, I'm sure AREA 51 will be loaded (no pun intended) tonight and it should be a fun evening. If the new karoake emcee is any good, I might even sing a song or two. We'll see !

The democratic debate on CNN was better than I thought it would as the candidates stayed on course and attempted to field and answer the issues presented to them. One of the most important issues they didn't address in detail was how they would close and enforce our borders. They spoke of how to deal with the illegal aliens that are in the United States, but not how to stop the daily flow of illegals through our porous borders.

The subject was not brought up in detail by the moderator, Wolf Blitzer, who seemed to be more interested in trying to corner Hillary Clinton than asking important questions about our borders. His obvious partiality to Barack Obama was evident as he seemed to be biased in his questions posed to the candidates.

Since one of my desires is to advise and inform the public, I am submitting the following graphic  to answer the age old question about a bear's choice of location for bowel movement.

                    

The Pictures: The remainder of the sand castle pictures are today's subject along with a few odds and ends I found this week.

This Date In History: 1790; Chief Justice John Jay presides over the first meeting of the  Supreme Court of the United States in New York City. 1862; The Atlantic Monthly publishes "Battle Hymn of the Republic" written by Julia Ward Howe. 1908; Carlos I, King of Portugal, is assassinated along with his eldest son, following increased pressure by Portuguese statesman Francisco Franco. 2003; The space shuttle Columbia breaks apart and burns while reentering Earth's atmosphere, killing all seven crew members.

Birthdays: Victor Herbert, composer (1859), John Ford, director (1894), Clark Gable, actor (1901), Boris Yeltsin, Russian president (1931).

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: The democratic debates were held in Los Angeles, California last evening and I would be remiss if I didn't submit to you the following information, to wit:

In 1850, California became a state. It had no electricity and no money. Almost everyone spoke Spanish and there were daily gunfights in the street. Basically, it was just like California today, except the women had real tits and the men didn't hold hands.

My pal, Anne sent me the following (edited and abridged):

A woman was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow at the grocery store and was about to check out. The young woman behind her asked if she had a dog. Since the questionwas obviously stupid and she had time on her hands, she told the young woman that she didn't have a dog and was starting the Purina Diet again.

She told her that it was a perfect diet and that all you really had to do was to load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one every time you felt hungry. She left the grocery smiling smugly at her witty little prank.

On the way home she was involved in an automobile accident and was taken to the hospital. She was released  the same day having only suffered bruises and a swollen face.

Two days later she returned to the grocery store to purchase more Purina dog chow and once again was ready to check out when the same young woman she had told about the diet entered into the checkout lane behind her. The lady immediately recognized her and was horrified to see her bruised and swollen face. She explained that she had just been released from the hospital.

The young lady exclaimed, "Oh my god, was that a reaction from the dog chow?" The woman replied, "No, I stepped off the curb to smell an Irish setter's ass and a truck hit me."

And From Jimmy's Corner: New Prescriptions for Women!

BUYAGRA: Stimulant taken prior to shopping. Increases potency and duration of spending spree.

MENICILLIN: Potent anti-boy-otic for older women. Increases resistance to such lines as, "You look absolutely gorgeous. Can we get naked now?"

ST. MOM'S WORT: Plant extract that treats mom's depression by rendering kids unconscious for up to six hours.

EMPTY NESTROGEN: Highly effective supplement that eliminates melancholy by enhancing the memory of how awful they were as teenagers and how you couldn't wait till they moved out.

PEPTO BIMBO: Liquid silicone for single women. Two full cups swallowed before an evening out increases breast size, decreases intelligence, and improves flirting.

DUMMEROL: When taken with Pepto-bimbo, can cause lowering of IQ, causing enjoyment of loud country music and cheap beer.

FLIPITOR: Increases life expectancy of commuters by controlling road rage and the urge to flip off other drivers.

JACKASSPIRIN: Relieves headache caused by a man who can't remember your birthday, anniversary, or phone number.

RAGAMET: When administered to a husband, provides the same irritation as nagging on him all weekend, saving the wife the time and trouble of doing it herself.

DAMMITOL: Take two and the rest of the world can go to hell for 8 hours!

That's it for today my little guppies. Have a safe and great weekend and more on Monday.

Stay Tuned !

I agree, I thought "Woof" was really going after Clinton, but I mostly enjoyed it. :)

I'm not sure what to think about the Pats/Giants. The Giants played them very well in the regular season, and came close to winning. I would love to see Eli and the Giants beat them, but for now, I'll say that I don't think the Pats will cover the spread. Not that I'm a betting woman, or anything. <grin>

I was doing a little journal hopping and landed here.  (lucky you)  

Enjoyed the photographs of the sandcastles.
The jokes were good, I wish I had some St Mom's Wort when my kids were little!

I just found out today that Hillary will be at the UofA tomorrow!  There was a message on my phone from Dem party in AZ, giving me times, and asking for my support.  Yeah, right!  We vote on Tuesday :)  Have a great evening~

I am not an "athletic supporter" so this old lady will not be watching the game.  I know, hard to believe.  Now if the Seahawks were playing I'd turn it on and mute the sound, while listening to my "Phantom of the Opera" CD over and over again. Glancing over from time to time to see the score.    Linda in Washington state
