George W. Bush replaces the “Stay The Course” phrase

October 28, 2006 · 1 Comment

       My suggestions for him to replace it include:

 ”I am so sorry”

“I have no idea what I’m doing”

 ”I listen to deep pockets”

“I thought being President would be like my tour of duty for Vietnam, except that it would be in an abandoned hangar in Washington, D.C.”

Naomi Campbell is not a violent person

  Despite the bad press, she will tell you herself that she is not violent. If you don’t believe that, she’ll have to kick your butt, too.

Mariah Carey’s “unreasonable demands” cancels performances in Asia

October 28, 2006 · Leave a Comment

  I had recently read an article in the weekend paper about Mariah Carey having a performance in Hong Kong’s financial district cancelled. In addition to only selling 4,000 tickets, it seems she had some “unreasonable demands” which led to local promoters cancelling the performance. I was able to find out what that demand was.

   Mariah had requested that no one within earshot of the concert have any discernable musical taste.

 Wow, talk about DIVAS. How likely is that?

I drank some Boilo at the St. Clair Halloween Parade

October 26, 2006 · 3 Comments

  For those of you familiar with this East Central Pennsylvanian hot alcohol steeped in spices, you may be also be aware that there are some dangerous versions of this beverage out there, too. I have had many versions of this. I even got a recipe for it as a wedding gift. However, I have officially had a very good batch of this very potent drink. The bad stuff should really only be served in self-defense or for topping off a gas tank when fuel prices get too high.

If you have no idea what I am talking about, that’s fine. This beverage was not in my vocabulary until I became a Pennsylvanian. While born & raised in Ohio, things are very simple there when it comes to food. You can order your food one of two ways: with or without salt. Here in PA, this area is piled high with traditions, including culinary ones. One trip to a BLOCK PARTY and you can find yourself waist-high in halupkies, halushkie, bleenies, kiebasi, bean soup, and many other things that you can eat but should probably chase with some Zantac.

 I also had some Tommy’s M & S Chili, too. That stuff is good, although I can only eat about 5 bites at a time. I have to take a break to give my tongue a rest from the peppery burn.

 God, I love Pennsylvania. You gotta love boilo recipes. Where else can you follow food directions that include phrases like “Be careful at this point or the boilo will explode.”

   Have you ever reached the point where you are so exhausted that you can’t get to sleep? You become so punchy that even the Bush Administration starts to make sense? I have been up more that 24 hours and I STILL haven’t got that punchy yet.
