These Are The Things I Think About -- Jan23rd-29th

Some musical food for thought to get us going, wrestler Hulk Hogan revealed this week he was once asked to join Metallica. Apparently the Hulkster plays bass and was a session musician before his days in the ring. Friends with Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, Lars asked him to join during the early days of the band. Obviously, it didn’t work out, but you have to wonder what influence Hulk Hogan would have had on the group. I picture all their song titles ending in brother:
*Nothing Else Matters-Brother, Enter Sandman-Brother, etc.. A little silly I know, but it’s the best I could come up with. Yep, it’s Sad But True---Brother ;-)

Moving on, sad news this week as "Price Is Right" host Drew Carey and his fiancé Nicole have called off their engagement. I hear it all came down to the ring. Instead of going the safe route and saying 1 dollar she guessed higher then Drew wanted to spend on one.

In Entertainment, Jay Leno is being sued. This over a Mitt Romney joke he recently made. Thing is, I’ve heard it's actually part a huge class action lawsuit against all of Leno’s jokes…cause they’re not funny.

Elsewhere, story continues Top Gun 2 might be in the works! Tom Cruise himself saying if with the right story he’s in. Hmm, could we see the return of Maverick and the Ice Man?…Here’s hoping, and hey if not… ”Maverick & The Ice Man” Don't know about you, but I smell sitcom!!…. Or 80s cop show at the very least!... Cue saxophone solo!

And, from history…. it was Thursday’s date in 2009, the term "Octomom" was born. Pun intended. That was the day Nadya Suleman give birth to octuplets. If you didn’t know this, she was already a mother of six. So technically, she is the Tetradecagon-mom… Tetradecagon --look it up!

--Oh, P.S. A little extra this week on how you can blow some serious cash fast! The Superbowl is set, The Patriots VS The Giants. The game goes Sunday in Indianapolis. And, for 750 thousand dollars you can have a suite at one of the End zones. Don’t worry your 750 thousand dollars will include tickets to the game, food & drinks, and yes your parking pass…. Well isn't that nice of them to include parking.
As for the game, I couldn’t care less but my call is Patriots…

--P.S.S. *entire sentence works best when spoken outloud in your best Hulk Hogan voice…. (go back and try it again..do it…You know you want to…doooo it!)
