 A man placed some flowers on the grave of his dearly departed mother and started back toward his car when his attention was diverted to another man kneeling at a grave. The man seemed to be praying with profound intensity and kept repeating, “Why did you have to die? Why did you have to die?”
    The first man approached him and said, “Sir, I don’t wish to interfere with your private grief, but this demonstration of pain is more than I’ve ever seen before. For whom do you mourn so deeply? A child? A parent?”
    The mourner took a moment to collect himself, then replied, “My wife’s first husband.”

    The Lord gave a brief description to Adam, who took Eve by the hand and took her to a nearby bush. A few minutes later, Adam emerged and said, ”Thank you Lord, that was enjoyable.”
    And the Lord replied, ”Yes Adam, I thought you might enjoy that. Now, I’d like you to caress Eve.”
    And Adam said, ”What is a caress?”
    So, the Lord again gave Adam a brief description and Adam went behind the bush with Eve. Quite a few minutes later, Adam returned, smiling, and said, ”Lord, that was even better than the kiss.”
And the Lord said, ”You’ve done well Adam. And now, I want you to make love to Eve.”
    And Adam asked, ”What is make love, Lord?”
    So, the Lord again gave Adam directions and Adam went again to Eve behind the bush, but this time he re-appeared in two seconds.

5.  all this fuss with the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS football team needs to go away…just punish everybody for the bounty program and let’s move on….i’m really bored with it….and i’m sure SAINTS fans want it to go bye bye, too….

6.  YES, ABERDEEN WINGS….

our beloved WINGS play two playoff games this weekend at the ODDE ICE ARENA against their arch rival, the BISMARCK BOBCATS…they came back from BISMARCK this weekend tied 1-1 in the best of five series….BISMARCK has the best team in the league this  year…wouldn’t it be awesome if the WINGS would take them out?  we’ll see this weekend!!

7.  i work out a lot of mornings at ANYTIME FITNESS.  i usually try to be there by 3:15am to put a good hour or more in.  well, i have a complaint….TV SUCKS AT THAT TIME OF THE MORNING….i usually take my I-POD with to listen to christian music, but i had it in my pocket this morning and couldn’t find it…so, i used my headphones to watch tv….NOTHING BUT CRAPPY INFOMERCIALS…..here’s the deal…i’m not buying any of your crappy stuff, so leave me alone..ha ha….

here’s the cast of “THE WALTONS”…

this should make you feel old…’THE WALTONS” debuted on tv FOURTY ONE YEARS AGO….yikes….

here’s a recent photo of  the kids and parents….

3.  remember this line…

“i will just stay in the boat while JIM jumps into the water to swim with the alligators.”  that was ALMOST something that would have been said by MARLIN PERKINS on “MUTUAL OF OMAHA’S WILD KINGDOM.”  well, his counterpart JIM FOWLER turns 80 years old today…can you believe that?  here he is a few years back…

here’s JIM FOWLER today at 80…..

4.  do you remember the host MARLIN PERKINS?  here he is with JIM on the famous show….

MARLIN PERKINS died on june 14th, 1986 at the age of 81….

5.  what an incredible GOOD FRIDAY service at ST. JOHN’S IN HECLA on friday night….i always love this service, because it’s so emotional surrounding the crucifixion of JESUS….the service was fantastic, but the best part was the ending…..all of the church lights went out, except for a small spotlight at the front of the church…three of my confirmation girls walked slowly up the aisle wearing complete black…they got in front of the spotlight, and then another one of my church girls started playing “WERE YOU THERE WHEN THEY CRUCIFIED MY LORD.”  my confirmation girls did the motions to the song…i stood in the back with tears coming out of my eyes…it was beautiful…heard lots of comments on that….our church secretary PAM draws up  tremendous services, and this was one of the best i have seen in my eight years in HECLA…after the song was done, people could stay and pray, or leave quietly…it was amazing….

6.  HOLY WEEK took it’s toll on me….i had a pastor friend tell me years ago that if you can make it thru HOLY WEEK you can make it thru anything….i was up in HECLA wednesday, thursday, friday, and sunday……in addition to the church services, i had a funeral and confirmation…..i hardly left the couch on saturday…completely exhausted…..

7.  my friend JEFF BAHR’S blog has ended at the AMERICAN NEWS….this upsets me….JEFF had a really good blog that had lots of fun stuff in it….he always came up with stuff that i never thought about, and i would laugh out loud reading it…sounds like it was a management decision…not a very smart one though, in my opinion….

8.  an upscale mattress store in NEW YORK CITY’S “SOHO” neighborhood created a nap room where ANYONE is welcome to come off the street and take a test nap, with no strings attached…the store is called “BEDBUGS R US.”

9.  a MUNCIE, INDIANA woman was arrested for allegedly severing her boyfriends manhood….the funny part is what hospital he was taken to…no kidding..he was taken to BALL MEMORIAL HOSPITAL….( you can’t make stuff like that up)

10.  “60 MINUTES” interviewer MIKE WALLACE died over the weekend at 93….or as they call it on “60 MINUTES”….a premature death…

11.  TIGER WOODS may be disciplined for kicking his club 15 yards after a poor shot at the “MASTERS” golf tournament on friday….tough break for TIGER…and then TIGER was forced to take a backseat to the others golfers…once in the backseat, he invited a bunch of female fans to join him….

12.  KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST are reportedly dating….the new couple went to see “THE HUNGER GAMES”  the other day…which is ironic that these two would go to that one when they are both starving for attention….

13.  ALEC BALDWIN is ripping apart the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS for showing up at a yoga class to take pictures of his much much younger fiancee…he should be happy…at least they didn’t show up when he was putting her on the school bus in the morning…

14.  JOKE OF THE DAY: (thanks to my friend MIKE)

A dad buys a lie detector robot that slaps people when they lie. He decides to test it at dinner. “Son, where were you today?”
The son says, “At school, Dad.” Robot slaps the son. “Okay, I watched a DVD at my friend’s house!” the son says.
“Which DVD?” asks the dad.
“Toy Story.” Robot slaps the son again! “Okay, it was a porno!” cries the son. “What? ! When I was your age, I didn’t know what porn was,” says the dad. Robot slaps the dad. Mom laughs, “Hahaha! He certainly is your son!” Robot slaps the mom. Awkward silence…

4.  how about the rest of the cast of “FULL HOUSE?”

JODIE SWEETIN played the middle daughter “STEPHANIE.”   she is now 30 years old, and she too, is INCREDIBLY beautiful…

he played BRET MAVERICK in the 50’s tv show “MAVERICK.”

he’s probably best known for playing JIM ROCKFORD on “THE ROCKFORD FILES.” i used to love that show…

and finally, JONATHAN TAYLOR THOMAS played “RANDY.” he is also 30….

7.  we can’t decide whether or not we want to see “TITANIC 3-D” this weekend…i heard it was 3 and a half hours….the effects would have to be AWESOME for me to spend that kind of time at the movie theater…

8.  a shortage in vanilla is expected to drive up the price…this summer, the most valuable asset in the world will be an ice cream truck with a full tank of gas….

9.  a man i cannot stand, KEITH OLBERMAN, says he’ll sue CURRENT TV for wrongfully terminating his contract…the only problem is finding witnesses to prove he actually WAS on tv….

10.  a pair of MARILYN MONROE’S panties sold at an auction for $45,000 dollars…no thanks…i’m not buying stuff like that from an actress who was in a movie called ‘THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH.’

11.  people are still talking about the 800 thousand dollars spend by the federal bureaucrats at the GSA in LAS VEGAS…you know the saying…”what happened in VEGAS should have stayed in WASHINGTON.”

12.  BRISTOL PALIN is reportedly shacking up with her boyfriend in what she calls a “trial marriage.”  hopefully it’s more successful than her “trial pregnancy.”

13.  a company in SOUTH KOREA is offering screenings of “TITANIC 4-DX”…they say it will be complete with wind, fog, lightning, and even the smells of the ship sinking…up until now, the most fog in a theater was from any movie by “CHEECH AND CHONG.”

14.  JOKE OF THE DAY:

Dear friends,

5.  what about the rest of the cast of “BARNEY MILLER?”

6.  well, i came out virtually unscathed last night at confirmation in HECLA….i was so concerned that my confirmation kids were going to make it FOUR WEEKS IN A ROW of playing pranks on me….last night was quiet…or was it?  maybe they did something and i haven’t found it yet….great…now i can’t breathe…..

7.  i got to HECLA  a bit early yesterday, so i put on my clothes, got on the highway and walked and ran two and a half miles…i’m so glad i’m back in the swing of working out…by the way, i’ve dropped five pounds in the past week…..hopefully another 20-25 yet to come….

8.  i’d like to tell you about a bank that REALLY SUCKS, but i had better not…just know that one nationwide bank REALLY SUCKS…

9.  a woman tried to rob a bank in CHICAGO, but the teller told her the bank was closed, and to come back tomorrow…believe it or not, THE WOMAN LEFT….this is why few women get ahead in the competitive world of bank robbery….

10.  a couple of MASSACHUSETTS unveiled a flying car at the NEW YORK AUTO SHOW this week….cripes….i’ll bet even with a flying car i’ll have trouble parallel parking….

11.  police in JAPAN have arrested a 97 year old man, who used his walker to go to a relative’s house and attack her with a sword…he’s the only ninja that you can see coming from two blocks away…

12.  according to the latest poll, DENMARK is the HAPPIEST nation in the world…why?  because they don’t listen to the MORNING PARTY WITH JAY DEAN….

13.  as i told you yesterday, they’ve announced that “DUMB AND DUMBER” will make a sequel starring the original stars JIM CARREY and JEFF DANIELS…we still aren’t sure which one will play SNOOKI and which one will play KIM KARDASHIAN….

14.  JOKE OF THE DAY…(kind of long, but very funny….)

A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he’s drinking it the monkey jumps around all over the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats them, then jumps up on the pool table, grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole.
    The bartender screams at the guy, “Did you see what your monkey just did?”
    The guy says, “No, what?”
    “He just ate the cue ball off my pool table, whole!” says the bartender.
    “Yeah, that doesn’t surprise me,” replied the patron. “He eats everything in sight. I’ll pay for the cue ball and stuff.”
    He finishes his drink, pays his bill, and leaves.
    Two weeks later he’s in the bar again, and he has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is drinking, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it.
    The bartender is disgusted. “Didja see what your monkey did now?” he asks.
    “Now what?” responds the patron.
    “Well, he stuck a cherry up his butt, then pulled it out and he ATE it!” says the barkeep.
    “Yeah, that doesn’t surprise me,” replied the patron. “He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he ate that damn cue ball he measures everything first.”

HAVE A TERRIFIC THURSDAY MY FRIENDS…

HAPPY WEDNESDAY EVERYBODY…HALFWAY TO THE EASTER WEEKEND…HANG ON…WE’LL MAKE IT TOGETHER!!

1.  here come your wednesday funnies…..

i’ve always wondered about this…

and, a lot of WOMEN have wondered about the following….

2.  i found the perfect carpeting for my WASHINGTON REDSKINS room….i doubt i’ll get it by the boss, however…

3.  happy birthday wishes are going out to actress NANCY MCKEON, who played “JO” on “THE FACTS OF LIFE.”

here’s NANCY MCKEON today…on her 46th birthday…STILL GORGEOUS…

here’s a recent picture of the cast of “THE FACTS OF LIFE.”

do you know who NANCY MCKEON’S famous brother is?  it’s actor PHILIP MCKEON who played the son “TOMMY” on the hit tv show “ALICE.”

here they are today….

by the way, as you know, NANCY is 46 today…her brother PHILIP is now 47……

4.  today, we’re going to salute the great movie “AMERICAN GRAFFITI”…..

we are only going to salute the musical portion of this great movie….

of course, we’re talking about the band “FLASH CADILLAC AND THE CONTINENTAL KIDS.” here they are in the movie…

also, BILL HALEY AND THE COMETS appeared in the movie…

here are FLASH CADILLAC AND THE CONTINENTAL KIDS back in the 70’s….

these guys had an awesome hit in the 70’s….do you remember it?

if you don’t know it, listen and you will…if you do know it…THEN SING ALONG!!!  love this song…reminds me of rollerskating in WEBSTER…

http://youtu.be/mvq5FnJRzFw

5.  do your remember who the disc jockey was in the hit movie “AMERICAN GRAFFITI?”  it was, of course, the legendary WOLFMAN JACK….

WOLFMAN JACK had an incredible voice, and actually started in radio a long time before the hit movie….check out this picture….

but, here’s how most of us remember him as he hosted the great show “THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL.”

WOLFMAN JACK died back in 1995 at the age of only 57…here he is in his later days, plus you can see his gravesite as well…

6.  wow..yesterday must have been my “crash and burn” day…you can only keep up a schedule for so long before it catches up with you, and apparently it was my day yesterday…i fell asleep in my car right after work, and ended up sleeping at MELGAARD PARK for over an hour…i woke up, did some work, went home, fell asleep for another hour or more, got up, had supper, and went to bed at 8:30 and slept until 4am this morning…..feel pretty good today, but yesterday was awful…

7.  we’re getting a little too sensative nowdays….the other night on the ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS, which i do not watch anymore because country, in my opinion is awful today, ASHTON KUTCHER appeared on stage and gave away an award dressed in western gear….

first of all, i thought he looked very nice…secondly, HE’S A COMEDIAN FOLKS!!  he’s known for being funny…SOMETIMES…anyway, a few of the newbies in country music apparently were upset that he was “making fun of our music.”  okay, here’s the deal…first of all, SHUT UP…second of all, get a sense of humor….don’t be so sensative….he’s not the first one to have a little fun about country music…..concentrate on your so-called musical skills, and relax a bit…

8.  a new survey reveals that people are the happiest at age 33…it’s probably true…TIGER WOODS looked a lot happier at 33…..

9.  overweight pregnant women in GREAT BRITAIN have started taking a diabetes drug to reduce the risk of having a fat baby…why do some women have fat babies?  because the babies have very limited space to exercise….

10.  JIM CARREY and JEFF DANIELS have signed on to shoot the sequel to “DUMB AND DUMBER.”  producers have to be very specific about what this movie is about, because most people are thinking it’s about this year’s presidential races….

11.  JENNIFER ANISTON reportedly has a secret half brother…ALEX JOHN ANISTON lives the lifestyle of a wild vagabond surfer….she’s keeping her embarrassing brother a secret…to which EMILIO ESTEVEZ shouted, “YOU CAN DO THAT?”

12.  ALEC BALDWIN, who turned 54 this week, is engaged to his 28 year old yoga instructor….ALEC immediately called friends and family to tell them the good news, but his daughter still cringes every time her dad leaves a voicemail….

13.  a man from IOWA turned himself in to police after a security camera at his place of employment caught him urinating on his workmates’ office chairs….police refused to fingerprint the guy until he washed his hands….

14.  JOKE OF THE DAY: 

A man is walking down the street when he sees a sign in the window of a travel agency that says CRUISES – $100.  He goes into the agency and hands the guy $100.  The travel agent then whacks him over the head with a baseball bat and throws him in the river.
     Another man is walking down the street a half hour later, sees the sign and pays the guy $100. The travel agent then whacks him with the baseball bat and throws him in the river.
     Sometime later, the two men are floating down the river together and the first man asks, “Do you think they’ll serve any food on this cruise?”
     The second man says, “I don’t think so. They didn’t last year.”

HAVE A TERRIFIC WEDNESDAY EVERYBODY…

5.  well, the morning workouts at 3:15am are going great at ANYTIME FITNESS…i also try to work out in the afternoon as well…at least go for a walk…..i would sure like to go to bed at 8:00 at night, but, of course, my busy schedule doesn’t allow for that….a nap in the afternoon after working out sure feels great…

6.  i had this brilliant idea for supper for tonight…i don’t know why i thought of this last night, but i dreamed up meatballs with stuffing inside of them…..i’ll try them tonight and let you know tomorrow if they are worth a hoot….

7.  counting today, i have FIVE DAYS left of the LENTEN season, before i start drinking DIET PEPSI again….i think i will definetly cut down on pop now….however, as i have mentioned before, i MUST drink pop when i eat popcorn or pizza…water just doesn’t cut it….

8.  asked about her husband’s reputation for being too stiff and rigid, ANN ROMNEY said this about MITT….”i guess we had better unzip him and let the real MITT ROMNEY out..”   umm……no thanks……the visual is already too much for me….

9.  vice president JOE BIDEN said this week that he’s never had a “real job.”   which makes him PERFECT to be in the job he’s currently in….

10.  CHINESE researchers now say that they believe hot peppers like jalapenos and habaneros may be good for your heart…that’s because you’re always running as fast as you can to the water fountain or the toilet….

11.  in an interview, ELTON JOHN said that he could have easily ended up like WHITNEY HOUSTON…but BOBBY BROWN wasn’t his type….

12.  ASHTON KUTCHER has been signed to play apple founder STEVE JOBS in an upcoming movie….the perfect casting would be for DEMI MOORE to play his grandma…..

13.  the MASTER’S golf tournament starts on thursday…for golf fans, it’s like the super bowl, except without all of those commercials of guys getting hit in the crotch….

14.  JOKE OF THE DAY:

    An elderly woman went into the doctor’s office. When the doctor asked why she was there, she replied, “I’d like to have some birth control pills.”
    Taken aback, the doctor thought for a minute and then said, “Excuse me, Mrs. Smith, but you’re 75 years old. What possible use could you have for birth control pills?”
    The woman responded, “They help me sleep better.”
    The doctor thought some more and continued, “How in the world do birth control pills help you to sleep?”
    The woman replied, “I put them in my granddaughter’s orange juice and I sleep better at night.”

OKAY, HOW ‘BOUT THIS ONE …..

     A man had been drinking at the bar for hours when he mentioned something about his girlfriend being out in the car. The bartender, concerned because it was so cold, went to check on her. When he looked inside the car, he saw the man’s friend, Dave, and his girlfriend kissing one another. The bartender shook his head and walked back inside.
     He told the drunk that he thought it might be a good idea to check on his girlfriend. The fellow staggered outside to the car, saw his buddy and his girlfriend kissing, then walked back into the bar laughing.
     “What’s so funny?” the bartender asked.
     “That stupid Dave!” the fellow chortled, “He’s so drunk, he thinks he’s me!”

HA HA HA…HAVE A GREAT TUESDAY…
