5. here’s my gripe for today…i just read on the internet that hollywood is looking at THREE REMAKES of my favorite movie of all time, “THE WIZARD OF OZ…” NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…..c’mon hollywood, get original, and stop remaking classic treasures that people love…..i just told some people at carmike a couple of weeks ago, that i would be sick to my stomach to see this movie remade….of course, i would probably have to see it, so that i could gripe about it on the blog…..
6. last night coming home from hecla, i must have seen five muskrats…you normally don’t see them on the road, but i’m sure because of the incredible amount of water, these rodents are having a “heyday”……they sure are ugly creatures…..
7. i’m going to try to find some old hospital gowns that have the back end completely open….i miss them…there was nothing like walking down the corridor of the hospital with your butt hanging out….
8. what foods do i have trouble eating these days? JELL-O AND CHICKEN BROTH…i lived on that crap for about a year and a half when i had major stomach problems back in 1986-1987…the smell of chicken broth sometimes gets me to gag, and i haven’t touched jell-o since then….i also have trouble eating SPAM AND MACARONI AND CHEESE out of the box…lived on that in college….by the way, my mother makes the best mac and cheese ever, and she made it from scratch by boiling the noodles and adding velveeta cheese…we used to LOVE IT….
9. a high school in england reduced absenteeism by starting an hour late so students could get more sleep…c’mon…that’s what math class is for…
10. a woman from italy, was arrested after she allegedly hired two hitmen to whack her father, and one chickened out and told police….geez…you just can’t get good help these days…
11. authorities in indonesia found the remains of a “rare sumatran elephant” that was killed by poachers…how rare was this elephant? it was the only republican who voted for the healthcare bill.
12. JOKE OF THE DAY:
last night my sermon in church was on “the tax collectors” of JESUS day…these were despised by everyone…the following are a couple of jokes i used in my sermon last night…
The tax advisor had just read the story of Cinderella to his four-year-old daughter for the first time. The little girl was fascinated by the story, especially the part where the pumpkin turns into a golden coach. Suddenly she piped up, “Daddy, when the pumpkin turned into a golden coach, would that be classed as income or a long-term capital gain?”
A couple of weeks after hearing a sermon on Psalms 51:2-4 (knowing my own hidden secrets) and Psalm 52:3-4 (lies and deceit), a man wrote the following letter to the IRS:
“I have been unable to sleep, knowing that I have cheated on my income tax. I understated my taxable income, and have enclosed a check for $150.
If I still can’t sleep, I will send the rest.”There are only three predators that strike fear into the average
man; the man eating shark, a pack of wolves, and the tax department.
