Lucky

Yeah, he stayed away from Lucky all day!

Well, Oliver and Epigonos did all the legwork this year on the restaurant. I sort of paved the way for them last year. Many of the guys are already in town. Don't you think the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce should give us a plaque or something?

But I can try!

Well, I had to read about it on another website, but I did learn that today is CharliePS' birthday. I guess I should have known since he told me just yesterday, but being now in the senior moment section of life, I need reminders! So happy birthday, Charlie. I hope it is a great one and that you will be given many well-wishes.

In its 11th season, the American Idol show came to an abrupt end Thursday night. Contestant Stefano Langone, shown here: ...suddenly dropped his trousers as he was on center stage, at first showing a delectable bubble butt, then suddenly turning to reveal a strong erection. The crowd went wild, Ryan Seacrest fainted, and the stomping, cheering crowd called for Stefano to be named season winner by acclamation. It was an Idol first as last season's runner-up, Adam Lambert, rushed onstage and deep-throated Langone without once gagging. By this time, Seacrest had revived, but upon seeing the oral copulation promptly fainted again. Idol judge Randy Jackson said that the dawg had the best cock he had ever seen, whereupon Steven Tyler whipped his out, and then Jennifer revealed that she is a hermaphrodite...and I should have quit at the picture!

Yeah, sure. I'm lookin to sign up any day now. Then again, lookin is thinking positively amongst all the negativity...

After a considerable time playing with his balls, Grady will take the diamond on Sunday if all goes as expected. As this Times article shows, Grady doesn't play much with his multiple injuries, but when he does, he plays well: Sizemore To Play You can see Grady's balls right under the mug:

Aaron Tobey, a student protesting...oh, who cares what he is protesting! Here's his picture: But, if you really care what he has to say, and I do, of course, here it is: Aaron's Message And more of Aaron: Not every news organization would show his message, so they settled for his mug shot: (In case you didn't read the article, he stripped in protest last December. After 90 minutes in custody, he was released. He is now suing for $250,000 for the violation of his rights. He did make his flight that day.)

If Glenn Beck says that building multiple nuclear reactors in earthquake territory is stupid, then I will agree with him. If he thinks earthquakes are nature's response to a political situation, well, I don't think a comparison of me to him would be appropriate! On the other hand...a satellite photo just released shows...

Every day I have something new to worry about. Right now it's a torn ligament in my back. Just as soon as I think it is getting better, I move the wrong way and am back to square one. Also, yesterday I noted that people were beating up on me for a comment I made in a newspaper comment section. Turns out I had made a huge mistake without realizing it. (Got the person confused with another.) Life is tough. But if you were referring to world events, that's what my raining frogs thread was about. If it was about anything. We do live in interesting times, perhaps the most interesting in all of history. If the mideast explosion continues, gas prices skyrocket, the Japanese economy falters, and Obama's birth certificate gets lost, well, then, all bets are off. I gotta say though that I find it all quite depressing. We've just been through a tough recession, and now may face worse. The easy taking of lives in Japan only reinforces my worry that we are all alone here, at the mercy of nature, who seems really pissed at us.

Did not all of the recent turmoil begin in Egypt? No, you're right- we did take Iraq... Deuteronomy 4:29-39 (King James Version)...For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it? Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as the seas turn black and feel like mud, and all will know the wrath and atonement of their sins? Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God; there is none else beside him. Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire. And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt; to drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day. Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. Wikipedia: While some who believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible insist that the prediction of dates or times is futile, some other writers believe that Jesus foretold of signs which would indicate that the "end of days" was near. Some of these signs include earthquakes, natural disasters, civil problems, "wars and rumors of wars," and other catastrophes. Of the precise time, however, it will come like a "thief in the night" (1 Thess. 5:2). Who knows? Ask a Mayan what he thinks!

Thailand loves its transexuals, and towleroad.com has the clip from Thailand's Got Talent where a beautiful girl starts singing, only to turn into a male singer at 1:04 in the song. The audience loved it: Oh Pretty WoMAN

hehe, welcome back, Adam Smith. I have noticed that you were not posting this month so glad to see you back.

Just when I was starting to think that Obama might not be so bad after all, he revives Guantanomo and endorses the action against Bradley Manning. I can't believe that Obama is a liberal at heart. But with the Republicans failing so far to come up with a credible candidate, it looks like we have Obama until 2016. He sure pulled the wool over the eyes of so many longing for a change after Bush.

Sorry, but I can neither confirm nor deny !

Zip, there was a reason I didn't cite a source. Top secret CIA wiretap.

Allessio77, welcome to the boards. I look forward to more posts from you. As for the boy, do anyone of us remember anything that happened to us at the age of 3? How would he know who Samson was at that age? Just think of all of these people coming up to greet him in heaven. No Virgin Mary, no Holy Spirit...definitely not a Catholic visit! I think this is all the work of his minister father, which would make him a sinister father. Money, money. Who is immune?

LOL. What with impending nuclear meltdown, earthquakes, and tsunamis, I thought we could use a thread that led to important thinking!

For some time now, the last 3 MER forums, on Health, Comments, and the Sandbox, all end with posts from Lucky. Could you all rectify this situation by adding a comment of your own? We don't want outsiders to think that Lucky gets the last word here, do we?

Gay soccer players may be more common than we thought!

Citing his new found belief that God is a forgiving god, potential presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, his third wife, and his 4th mistress, all gathered today to announce that Newt will release all inmates in US prisons if elected. "How can I expect to accept God's forgiveness if I cannot pass it on to others who have sinned?" Gingrich stated. "My God is a forgiving god, and I will be a forgiving president." When asked how this forgiveness would extend to extremist Islam, Gingrich qualified his remarks to state that his God only forgives Christians, and it would remain his policy to wipe Muslims off the face of the earth. Jews, however, having now been forgiven by the Pope for killing Christ, could still hope for forgiveness should they convert to Christianity. Gingrich recently expressed his beliefs that God would forgive him his numerous sins, including seeking the impeachment of President Clinton in the Monica Lewinsky affair while he himself was cheating on his wife the whole time: "I found that I felt compelled to seek God's forgiveness. Not God's understanding, but God's forgiveness. I do believe in a forgiving God. And I think most people, deep down in their hearts hope there's a forgiving God." Gingrich's standing with evangelical Christians immediately rose two points,with many saying that it could rise further if he divorced his third wife to marry his fourth mistress.

We'll be glad to see you if you can make it to Palm Springs. My God, your luggage alone will probably be stuffed with Thai boys!

My flights to Bangkok went through Tokyo, so if that airport is closed, then I can't imagine how many flights will be canceled, re-routed, or otherwise problematic. Each flight to and from Tokyo was jam-packed with people, so that's a huge re-booking problem as well. Lucky Oz gets to wait in out in Thailand instead of Tokyo!

Really? Is that the case? Really? Honestly? I have never seen a show that I couldn't watch without pissing my pants! If I did, I would put down plastic on the chair so as not to ruin it. Or maybe I would wear diapers, but only during that show. Hmm, a show called Two and A Half Diapers...
