These Are The Things I Think About -- Nov 21st-27th

US Thanksgiving was this Thursday. Experts say in their Thanksgiving meal alone, the average American ate over 3,000 calories and 90 grams of fat…the equivalent of 16 slices of greasy pizza….Perhaps we should change the name of Black Friday to Fat Friday.
Oh yeah, seems after a few more incidents this year, folks getting trampled Black Friday shopping has now officially become an annual tradition… God Bless America…

Of course holiday shopping is in full swing, and this year you can buy Jersey Shore Christmas ornaments. Yep, Hang Snooki from your tree for only $5.99…That is, if you haven’t already hung yourself after reading the last 2 sentences…Seriously!, Jersey Shore ornaments, kill me now.

Entertainment News, Sylvester Stallone and 2 former boxing champs are producing a musical version of "Rocky. It will premiere in of all places Germany next November…And here we thought the Germans only loved David Hasselhoff.

The National Enquirer claims Paula Abdul hired a rabbi, a priest, a minister, and a witch doctor to cleanse her home of evil spirits. Story sounds ridiculous, but, also like a great set up for a joke: So listen a rabbi, minister, priest & witch doctor walk into Paula Abdul's house…the rest practically writes itself!

Pakistan officials have come out with a list of over 11 hundred English words they feel should be banned from text messaging. Not sure exactly how you ban words from texts; But, highlights from their list include, “breast”, “flatulence”, “bullcrap”, and my personal favourite “monkey crotch”...cause you know it comes up in conversation so often... I say text “monkey crotch” to someone tonight, just for kicks.

In Sports, with the Green Bay Packers sitting 11-0 in their football season, a new survey out says 89% of people view Quarterback Aaron Rodgers favourably. Conducted in the Packers home state of Wisconsin, only a few things scored higher: Abraham Lincoln, Jesus…and I’m guessing Cheese.

And finally, experts are saying forget all about the idea of 6 degrees of separation. Nope, sorry Kevin Bacon, but because of facebook we are now just 4.7 people away from anyone else in the world. Kinda cool, we are just 4.7 people away from someone awesome! On the flipside we’re now that much closer to total douchebags… (refer to story 3 if having a hard time figuring out what a total douchebag is)

--Oh P.S. Missed last week, here is your highlight from Nov 14th-20th:
Black Sabbath guitarist Geezer Butler came out saying Ozzy Osbourne used to have cocaine for breakfast.
Quote -“We used to have cereal boxes full of cocaine brought to us. It was like living in the film Scarface."- Interesting….say hello to my little Cheerio bowl!

...yeah that was the highlight :-P

P.S.S. --Cool movie news to finish off with:
The story continues Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Martin Scorsese may team up for another mafia movie (including Al Pacino too). It would be called "The Irishman", and based on a real life hit man. How cool is this!
By the way, one of my
Gilmore theories --it’s not a real mob movie unless Joe Pesci gets whacked--
