It's Gonna Be A Frisky Friday !

Well, it's Friday my little junior mints and that means it's party time in the AREA 51 arenas around the various cities and towns. I'm thinking about going to the karaoke show at Lakes Cafe and Pub but it's way to early to make a commitment. I still do not have all of my missions planned as of yet, but maybe I'll start formulating a workable Plan A for tonight. One of the major problems I've had this week is finding a day that works for myself and the missionee (That's not a word. Shutup!).

Nevertheless, I'm flying solo tonight (unless one of my missions can escape the home) and I'm sure it will be a fun night. The current plan is not to be out all night, but one never knows....do one?

Congratulations to my pal, Rose, author of Roses Are Read, for being selected as guest editor for Magic Smoke today. You can read Rose's journal by going to my sidebar and clicking the link. Stop by and show her a little love.

Barack Obama made a speech in Germany yesterday and his supporters are already attempting to compare his speech to similar speeches made there by Presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. Uh, sorry Sammy, you ain't no Kennedy and you ain't da prez. With the media spreading their proverbial legs for every move that he makes, Obama might just skip being president and go directly to the Vatican and become pope.

You think subways in New York City are crowded? Well take a look at the subways and trains in China.

                                                                   

The TAC Award and The CAT Award have not had any nominees as yet this week. Although there does not have to be a weekly nominee, keep in mind that you can make nominations for either award each week. The nominations for this week close Monday at noon.

The Pictures: Have you ever wondered about those miracle sprays that they hawk on television? Well, I have found some great new sprays that I'm sure will please you. I also found some new magazines that might interest you as well.

This Date In History: 1261; Michael VIII Palaeologus recovers the city of Constantinople and is crowned Byzantine emperor there, restoring Greek control over the Byzantine Empire after a half century of Latin rule. 1895; Pierre Curie marries fellow chemist Maria Sklodowska. The two researchers will share the Nobel Prize for physics in 1903 for their work on radioactivity.

1929; Pope Pius XI makes the first public appearance by a pope outside the Vatican since 1870. 1999; American cyclist Lance Armstrong wins the Tour de France, bicycle racing's top event, less than three years after being diagnosed with cancer.

Birthdays: Thomas Eakins, painter (1844), Arthur James Balfour, British prime minister (1848), David Belasco, theatrical producer and playwright (1859), Maxfield Parrish, painter (1870), Rosalind Franklin, British physical chemist, whose research led to the recovery of DNA (1920), Walter Peyton, football player (1954).

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: Thanks to my pal, Garnett, for the following joke.

Two blonde girls were working for the city public works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind her and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one girl digging a hole and the other filling it in again.

An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. Finally, he said to the blonde digging the hole, "I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting in to your work, but I don't get it. Why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?"

The blonde wiped her brow and said, "well, I suppose it looks odd because we're normally a three person team, but today the girl who plants the trees called in sick."

                        

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

Stay Tuned !

Jimmy, I laughed out loud at that video clip!  Never again will I moan about the London Underground, but then again I never use it unless it's absolutely necessary, I hate those things!

Enjoy your weekend, whatever you end up doing! ~~~ Pat

I've seen that video before & it never fails to amaze me...talk about "mass transit."  I'd rather sit home & not work then go thru that every morning.  You have a "frisky" good time this weekend...Linda in WA

Jimmy the video reminds me of the cattle cars used to transport troops all over fort sill ranges in 1980, all aboard to area 51!
