Have A Happy Fourth Of July Weekend !

Happy July 4th to everyone! Not only is today a holiday, it falls on a Friday as well. How cool is that? The only unfortunate thing is that with gasoline costs so high the only thing you can be driven to is drinking (good idea! I know.)

Tonight's a good night for my weekly spree in AREA 51. Actually, I've already been to see some friends who are cooking bar-b-cue for this evening and I'm sure that will be one of my stops this evening. I came back to change clothes and finish today's entry, and then I'll be heading out again.

                      

                  Remember our soldiers, past and present, in your prayers. 

Speaking of drinking, remember that they'll be a lot of amateurs imbibing this weekend so keep that in the back of your mind. You don't want Billy Bob driving up your ass while he's busy throwing cherry bombs out of his truck.

The Cat's Ass Trophy has one nominee as of today, made by Jude. I'm still not exactly sure of her nominee yet, but I emailed her so that she could clarify it for me. There's a whole weekend ahead of us yet and nominations are open until Monday at noon.I'm sure there'll be someone who suffers from foot in mouth disease before Monday.

The Pictures: I ran some picks a while back of the buildings that are under construction in oil rich Dubai. I received some of the pictures of the homes they finished building and you're not going to believe it. Every home is ocean front. You'll see what I mean when you see them. Unbelievable!

This Date In History: 1776; The American Continental Congress votes to approve the Declaration of Independence, in which the American colonies proclaim their separation from Britain. 1826; Fifty years to the day after the approval of the Declaration of Independence, which they both had a hand in drafting, former presidents Thomas Jefferson and John Adams die on the same day.

1845; Writer Henry David Thoreau moves to a small hut by Walden Pond, near Concord, Massachusetts, where he lives alone for two years, writing a journal that is published as Walden in 1854. 1934; Chemist Marie Curie, who discovered radium, dies of leukemia, a disease cause by prolonged exposure to radiation during her research.

Birthdays: Nathaniel Hawthorn, novelist and author of "The Scarlet Letter" (1804), Stephen Foster, songwriter (1826), Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States (1872), Louis B. Mayer, film executive (1885), Neil Simon, playwright (1927).

The Hits Just Keep On Coming:

A blonde woman and her brunette friend are walking down the street and pass a flower shop where the brunette happens to see her boyfriend buying flowers. She sighs and says, "Oh crap, my boyfriend is buying me flowers again....for no reason."

The blonde quizzically looks at her and says, "What's the big deal, don't you like getting flowers?"

The brunette says, "Sure, but he always has expectations after getting me flowers and I don't feel like spending the next three days on my back with my feet in the air."

The blonde says, "Don't you have a vase?"

Remember To Drink Moderately This Holiday Weekend: Or this could possibly happen.....

A drunk gets up from the bar and heads for the bathroom. A few minutes later, a loud, blood curdling scream is heard from the bathroom. A few minutes after that, another loud scream reverberates through the bar.

The bartender goes into the bathroom to investigate why the drunk is screaming. "What's all the screaming about in there? You're scaring the customers!"

"I'm just sitting here on the toilet and every time I try to flush, something comes up and squeezes the hell out of my balls."

With that, the bartender opens the door, looks in and says, "You idiot! You're sitting on the mop bucket!"

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

Stay Tuned !

Enjoyed the Entry as usual.  I crack up with your jokes and your sense of humor.

Be careful tonight.  I decided to stay home and watch the firecrackers on TV....I don't want to be bumping into any Billy Bobs on the road!  I've been suffering with insomnia and no sleep....no drive is my rule.

Of course, after reading your entries, it makes me want to go out more!!!!!!!!

Have fun darling!

Hugs, Rose

Well it's too late for me to suggest you take it easy on the 4th because the 4th is over for both of us...it is now 50 minutes into the 5th here in Washington.  Of course you could still be out on the town there in Florida.  We had a great time...there's still some potato salad left if you want it.  Have a wonderful weekend...Liinda

 I worked and took care of all the amatures that blue their little fingers up and crashed into other cars while sipping their beer.  I did see the fireworks out the window though and made lots of money, always a good thing.  Loved the jokes

     Only in a country located in the desert would rich people build homes water front homes and with each one comes a pool. Talk about the CAT's ASS award!
