Fallin for Marilyn Monroe

This iconic Hollywood beauty set the standard for sex symbol status, and no other woman has surpassed her in that capacity. In the 1950's, when there were so many beautiful and sexy women being touted as sex symbols, many of whom became Hollywood legends, none came close to Marilyn. She was universally acknowledged as the most beautiful women of her era. Even decades after her death, Marilyn always headed every list of beautiful or sexy women.

Really?!

.


My wife is on a rampage. She pulls into McDonalds drive-thru yesterday to get a bite. The guy in front of her is in a 2011 Escalade.

AND PAYS FOR HIS FOOD WITH A FOOD STAMP CARD!!!

The guy leaves, she pulls up to the window, and asks the cashier, "What am I doing wrong?" The girl laughed and said she was thinking the exact same thing.

I can't say it enough. This is what you get when you vote Democrat.

Keep'n it real


Q: What do you get when you send 50 Iraqi tanks up against 1 American M-1 tank?
A: You get 50 shot-to-hell, burned out, hulks of scrap metal out in the middle of the desert.
A#2: Actually, you can insert just about any country you like, and the result will be the same. Booyah! America rules!


Being a highly recognizable member of the cat community, Garfield was understandably camera shy at the pet change surgery clinic. If proof got out that he was secretly considering becoming a dog, the damage to his credibility would be devastating to both his fanbase and sponsorship contracts.


Americans keeping it real

Mother's Day




A mother's love for her children is unique in nature. She feeds you but goes hungry. She protects you at the risk of her own welfare. She loves you no matter what you look like. She's proud of you even when you feel like a failure. And she never asks for anything in return. So don't forget to let your Mom know how much you really do love her and appreciate all she's done for you. That's all she really wants in return anyway. Just a simple 'Thank you' and 'I love you'. That's not too much to ask for.

Freak of Lightning

On Tuesday evening about nine o'clock, during the progress of the storm, many of the citizens of Phillipsburg, were startled by a loud, quick report, and those who happened to be out were blinded by a most vivid flash of lightning. It struck the double brick house on Brainerd street, just below Hudson, occupied by Mr. Weightman and Mr. Putman, passing obliquely through Weightman's roof, scorching the rafters, and down through Putnam's into the kitchen, jumping from a nail, bored a whole[sic] through a dripping pan, and glued together a couple of spoons. A rag hanging over the spout of a can of oil was next visited, setting it on fire, so that the can had to be thrown out, and demolishing things generally. It then took a backward course and spent itself in Weightman's cistern. No one in the house felt the shock very severely, but Miss Lizzie Stiles, living on Washington street, was knocked from her chair, and Mr. John Schooley, who was going up Hudson street, when near the cedars was knocked on his knees, and for some minutes was quite stunned. Mr. C. W. Mutchler, who saw the flash, said it was in the form of a ball, and exploded about six feet above the house.---- Easton Dispatch.

Daily State Gazette, Trenton, NJ 2 Jul 1875

My Note: This is from an 1875 newspaper. Apparently this was a single powerful bolt of lightning that went through two homes, and produced a shockwave that knocked people down outside. Incredible.

The Dark Side Of Woody

We go to the movies and we see people on the screen who we can idolize as heroes or sentimentalize with as friends. But we often forget that the person on screen we adore so much is just a character in a story potrayed by a real person. A person with flaws like you and me. Sometimes even our dearest, most beloved idols have a dark side. This is one such story. A toy story.


We all know him and love him as Woody. The simple man with down to earth morals and values that make the natural leader of his toy peers.


That boyish charm and vulnerability that make him the affectionate object of every woman's, or girl's, heart.


But sadly, there's another side to Woody. Behind the camera he is simply Bob "Stick" Sonofabitz, actor. And truth be told, Bob Sonofabitz is not a very nice or likeable guy. As the following pictures show, celebrity star power and iconic status were too much for Stick to handle, and he quickly fell into a life of debauchery behind the scenes.


Although it started out innocent enough with pranks and crude jokes, it soon devolved into a more 'hardcore' lifestyle.


And of course, as with so many other Hollywood shooting stars, this life in the fast lane would lead to a tragic end.


Only time will tell if Bob Sonofabitz, who some say was simply a flawed man searching for his place in the world, will be remembered as the beloved Woody or the soiled and sordid Stick. Search your heart and decide for yourself.
