These Are The Things I Think About -- Mar25th-Apr7th

I’ve been off on vacation. Let’s get back at it shall we! 

The long wait is over 'Mad Men' fans, season 6 debuts tonight. It’s a 2 hour season opener, so, if you like to drink along with the characters, you might need to water down your whisky a little. Or perhaps risk passing out before making it through the whole episode. 

McDonald's in the Boston area are now requiring a Bachelor’s Degree, this for all new cashier applicants. Seems a little much, however my guess is the fine print reads ‘Bachelors Degree from Hamburger University’…I hear Grimace is a professor there.

Wednesday was NHL trade deadline day. It was a turd this year. The biggest trade of the day came from TV. NBC finally confirmed rumours, Jay Leno is out as Tonight Show host, and Jimmy Fallon will take over in February. 

Continuing with Late Night TV, Lindsay Lohan will be on the Letterman Tuesday. Expect her to be charged with doing something stupid in New York City by Wednesday morning at the latest. 

The oldest person in America died earlier this week. The lady’s name was Elsie Thompson, she was 113. Larry King, once again, sending his condolences, but adding he’s excited to bump up another spot on the list! 

Facebook revealed new cellphone software Thursday. Called ‘Home’, they say it’s designed for instant messaging & photo sharing…Ummm, Dear facebook, I think most people’s phones already do that. Just sayin’ 

Researchers in Tokyo are developing a television that releases smells. Great when you are watching the cooking channel. Really bad when you are watching a documentary on incontinence. 

A new book claims, in the late 80s Freddy Mercury of Queen once snuck Princess Diana into a gay Bar. The Princess was disguised in an army jacket, hat and sunglasses. And, I hear, everyone in the bar thought..she..looked..super fabulous!!! (said in your best Big Gay Al voice of course!*) 

And finally the latest sign the world is doomed. Honey Boo Boo is coming out with a book “The Complete Guide on How to Redneck-og-nize the Honey Boo Boo in You''. Good God. 
--How did we ever get Honey Boo Boo by the way? I hear they made a mistake trying to make a second Honey Yogi-- :-P

--Oh, P.S. *-If you are not familiar, this is South Park's Big Gay Al:
