Hasty Ruminations

Must be able to moon walk with large wooden box on shoulders.

Backwards and forwards.

Knowing words to Billie Jean a plus.

Glove optional.

Remember in Jaws when the mother of the boy who was eaten in the opening scenes by Jaws comes to the docks in her black finery with a veil, and finds Chief Brody?
—–

Mrs. Kintner: Chief Brody?

Brody: Yes?

[Mrs. Kintner slaps Brody and sobs]

Mrs. Kintner: I just found out, that a girl got killed here last week, and you knew it! You knew there was a shark out there! You knew it was dangerous! But you let people go swimming anyway? You knew all those things! But still my boy is dead now. And there’s nothing you can do about it. My boy is dead. I wanted you to know that.

[Mrs. Kintner walks away]

Mayor Vaughn: I’m sorry, Martin. She’s wrong.

Brody: No, she’s not.

—–

Well, that was filmed in 1975.

Today, it’d be shorter:

Mrs. Kintner: Chief Brody?

Brody: Yes?

[Mrs. Kintner slaps Brody and sobs]

Brody: [Shoots her three times with his service revolver, throws her carcass into the bay where Jaws has another meal. Crowd cheers.]

Sarah Palin is taking this Michael Jackson thing too personally.

The Obamas, finally deciding to explore more carefully, have not yet settled on a church in Washington.

When the Grim Reaper is finished with Entertainers, maybe he will move on to another favorite group: say, Politicians. Or Bankers.

From ABCNews.com:

- Actress Gwyneth Paltrow on her travels to Spain

“[Spain] is so different from the United States. It seemed to have a history, and the buildings are years and years and years old. Here in the United States an old building is about 17 (years old), and over there it’s from 500 B.C. It’s incredible.”

They think there are now 500,000 cases of swine flu in New York.

There are 1,900,000 Jews in New York according to several sources, out of a total population of 19,490,000.

It is too soon to say that someone has not been keeping Kosher.

Michael Jackson Transformation

My tribute.

Actually, the world seems a little … CLEANER today!

As a tribute, smile at a kid today. He or she is safer now.

The weather in Wisconsin went from below 50’s during the day to 80+, overnight. It’s great! Nightime in the 60-70 range.

The folks I’m working with at the client site in Germantown are just great. Major new building with a lot of the FDA validation work I do well. The middleman who hired me, however, is not so good. They are from southern California, believe that OJ was persecuted, and have no clue what they are doing. So, I may leave soon. No problem.

The great news is that I reunited with my brother, who lives about 65 miles north of here, last weekend. We last saw each other 6 years ago at our Mom’s funeral. Great!

And, I got two of those Topsy-Turvy Tomato growers they sell on TV for $19.99. They are perfect for me, because I may have to pack up my gypsy camp mid-summer and move. As I may have to do soon! I planted two tomato plants in each holder (they grow upside down) about 3 weeks ago, and I filled the planters with Miracle Grow potting soil. The growth is unbelieveable: Five times their original size in three weeks! One side has tiny flowers already, which will become tomatoes. Presently, the plants are curving up on great, strong stalks as they seek the sun; but when the fruit comes, its weight will pull them down straight.

The plants are three feet off the ground, so it will be fun to see the robber bunny rabbits try to jump up to get to the tomaters. I may add a small springboard and a live trap for their use…

“Iran’s ambassador to London was summoned to the Foreign Office this morning after the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, singled out Britain as Iran’s foremost enemy. In his speech during Friday prayers, Khamenei played on the historic suspicions many Iranians have of Britain by hinting at its involvement in the demonstrations and describing it as “the most evil” of foreign powers.”

WAIT A MINUTE!

America EARNED the title “The Great Satan”.  Now we’re only #2?

I never want to be #2 to England in ANYTHING!  I have nothing but contempt for the English.  I don’t even speak English; I speak American.

Makes me want to tell Iran to piss off, but that’s a British expression.  Damn!

He’s got his own airport – and you and I are paying for it.

We’re paying a lot.

Pres. Obama was near us in Wisconsin the other day. He was in Green Bay, we are in West Bend. He spoke about healthcare.

It’s great to hear a Real Believer like him pontificate about healthcare.

He’s a smoker. Yeah, after all these years and all those warnings. Who says Harvard grads are really smart? Actually, he’s for cheap healthcare because he knows he will need a lot of it.

But he also will economize on it. He’s making sure whole generations of the youngest Americans won’t need healthcare, after his programs cause their abortions.

Yeah, I guess I’ve heard enough from him on “healthcare”.
