These Are The Things I Think About -- June11th-17th


Well I’m sure you caught it Friday night. Nik Wallenda crossed Niagara Falls on a tightrope. Sure it was a big deal, but the guy is a 7th generation Carnie, been doing it all his life, of course he thought he could make it. Lets get over it and move on. Tight rope with a 7th generation Carnie Monkey chasing him, then I’d be interested.

Today is Father’s day. Also known as “please don’t let there be a card in the mail” day for single guys everywhere. But you know it’s good to be a dad, as spending is up for them this year!  last minute gift idea, if money is no object, you really wanna spoil him, I say fill up his car. OK, half a tank, you’re not that rich. Then listen to his story about how gas used to be 20 cents a gallon……I smell father-child bonding experience!

Talking kids. From today’s awesome file, a company in Spain has designed a bed that makes itself.  What kid wouldn’t want that?!….Go make your bed. Done mom, bring on the Cheerios!

In music, this one ain’t right. Rihanna, she has now sold more singles in the UK than The Rolling Stones. Notable yes, but come back when you’ve done more drugs then Keith Richards, then I’ll be impressed.

Just as wrong….No wait, wronger. Naked photos of Jersey Shore’s Snookie have surfaced online. Her publicist has confirmed it. Anyone else feel like canceling their internet service today?

In fashion, Australian scientists have taken edible undies to the next level. They’ve created a new line of underwear made from red wine. They put a bacteria in the wine which turns it into a cotton-like substance. My question, Why? I like my wine in a glass, not covering my…. Zing.... yeah, bad zing :-P

And finally, next time you are buying steaks or hamburgers for barbecuing stock up! Number Crunchers are predicting the price of beef is set to jump big time… Yeah heard it here first kids!

--Oh P.S. Certainly couldn’t mention this week without including the fact the L.A. Kings won the Stanley Cup! They become the first 8th seed* to win the Stanley Cup. It's the Kings' first Championship in franchise history. I’ll let Jonathan Quick explain how great this team really is:

* yeah, remember when everyone was saying 1st seed Vancouver was going to destroy them in the first round?!… I didn’t… Suck it ‘Nucks fans… hahaha!



P.S.S.--   And one for the Goodfellas fans. Henry Hill, the man Ray Liotta played and whose life story inspired the movie, has passed away. He was 69. Ray Liotta paid tribute to Henry this week saying quote ''I only met him a few short times so I can't say I knew him but, I do know he lived a complicated life. 'My heart goes out to his family and may he finally rest in peace.'' And I’ll pay a little tribute to Ray Liotta’s awesome performance in his role as Henry here:
