CRAP..IT’S MONDAY AGAIN….

here come your monday funnies….

i would say the answer to the following is YES…(unfortunately)

 

2.  happy birthday wishes are going out to actor GIL GERARD…he turns 69 today….he starred in “BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY.”

here’s GIL GERARD today on birthday number 69….

 

3.  the beautiful PRINCESS CAROLINE of MONACO turns 55 today…she has always been so graceful and elegant.  here she is back a few years ago…..

here’s PRINCESS CAROLINE today at 55…..

4.  PRINCESS CAROLINE was a super nice looking lady, but my heart was always with PRINCESS STEPHANIE of MONACO…she was the rough around the edges, naughty party girl…..sounds like she was always in trouble with mom and dad…ha ha….here she is back when i had a big crush on her….

here’s PRINCESS STEPHANIE today…she is now 46 years old…

5.  DANG IT ANYWAY….the only combination for the SUPER BOWL that i didn’t want actually happened…..i was rooting for BALTIMORE and SAN FRANCISCO, and they both lost in the final few moments of their games….

and the SUPER BOWL this year will be:

VERSUS

not excited about the game at all…maybe i’ll have to put in one of my dvd’s of my REDSKINS three SUPER BOWL wins….

6.  HOW ABOUT THOSE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES?  what a great game friday night…KEVIN LOVE hit a three pointer as time ran out as our T-WOLVES defeated the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS….in L.A…..that was incredible…

and how about the MINNESOTA WILD?   they won 5-2 saturday night, and apparently scored three goals in FIFTY NINE SECONDS….which, i believe is a team record…hopefully they can keep the streak going….they need to….

7.  sources say that NEWT GINGRICH may be the favorite over MITT ROMNEY in FLORIDA…because most of the FLORIDA male voters are like him…overweight, white haired and cranky….

8.  NEWT also says that he would consider a position for SARAH PALIN…and being he believes in open marriage, she might want to be careful with that statement….

9.  a severed head, hands and feet were discovered in a park in LOS ANGELES…apparently CHER’S monthly new body parts delivery must have been delivered to the wrong address….

10.  actress EVA LONGORIA has removed her TONY PARKER tattoo….she went to a store in HOLLYWOOD called “HOLLYWOOD SHORT TERM SPOUSE TATTOO REMOVAL SERVICE.”  (they must be crazy busy out there…ha ha)

11.  ABC announced that it has picked up the pilot for a new drama series where the residents of an apartment house have each signed a deal with the devil to get what they want in their lives….the show is apparently called “CONGRESS.”

12.  as i mentioned before, the SUPER BOWL is set…and i’m having a heck of a time deciding……pizza or hot wings…..

13.  the NATIONAL ENQUIRER IS REPORTING THAT O.J. SIMPSON is the father of KIM KARDASHIAN…whatever you do, DO NOT LET HIM CUT THE BIRTHDAY CAKE…

14.  JOKE OF THE DAY:

  A group of seniors were sitting around talking about all their ailments. “My arms have gotten so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee,” said one.
     “Yes, I know,” said another. “My cataracts are so bad I can’t even see my coffee.”
     “I couldn’t even punch out the chad at election time, my hands are so crippled,” volunteered a third.
     “I can’t turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck,” said a fourth, to which several nodded weakly in agreement.
     “My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy!” exclaimed another.
     “I guess that’s the price we pay for getting old,” winced an old man as he slowly shook his head. The others nodded in agreement.
     “Well, count your blessings,” said one woman cheerfully, “and thank God we can all still drive.”

HAVE A TERRIFIC MONDAY EVERYBODY…

 blind man is walking down the street with his seeing-eye dog one day. They come to a busy intersection, and the dog, ignoring the high volume of traffic zooming by on the street, leads the blind man right out into the thick of traffic. This is followed by the screech of tires and horns blaring as panicked drivers try desperately not to run the pair down.
     The blind man and the dog finally reach the safety of the sidewalk on the other side of the street, and the blind man pulls a cookie out of his coat pocket, which he offers to the dog.
     A passerby, having observed the near fatal incident, can’t control his amazement and says to the blind man, “Why on earth are you rewarding your dog with a cookie? He nearly got you killed!”
     The blind man turns partially in his direction and replies, “To find out where his head is, so I can kick his butt.”

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYBODY…

3. TAMMIE’S not the only one turning fifty this week…yesterday, the woman who played NELLIE OLSEN on “LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE” also turned FIFTY…

here is ALISON ARNGRIM today, the day after birthday number 50…..

the T-WOLVES were down by 16 last night to the DETROIT PISTONS, and ended up winning by EIGHT POINTS…what a turnaround….

i’m not saying that this team will  go to the playoffs this year, but the way they are growing together, they have the potential to be one of the best, if not THE BEST team in T-WOLVES history…

9.  a study at the UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA found that men borrow and spend way more money in places where there are fewer women than men….makes sense….in no place do men outnumber women than congress….

10.  GARTH BROOKS is suing a hospital in OKLAHOMA for refusing to name a building for his late mother after he gave them $500,000 dollars…hospital officials say that they’re not doing it, because they are against the name “GARTH BROOK’S MOMMYS HOSPITAL.”

11.  the ratings are in and BETTY WHITE’S birthday special was the highest rated show on monday night….BETTY did great with younger viewers…but then again, at her age, everyone’s a younger viewer….

A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but she couldn’t find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, “Do these turkeys get any bigger?” The stock boy replied, “No ma’am, they’re dead.”

OR HOW ABOUT THIS ONE….

The cop got out of his car and the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. “I’ve been waiting for you all day,” the cop said. The kid replied, “Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could.” When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.

13.  GEORGE CLOONEY says he plans on giving up drinking for a few months this year…which is ironic, because i saw his movie “THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS’ and it made me START drinking…

14.  JOKE OF THE DAY:

 

There once was a blind man who decided to visit Texas. When he arrived on the plane, he felt the seats and said, “Wow, these seats are big!” The person next to him answered, “Everything is big in Texas.” When he finally arrived in Texas, he decided to visit a bar. Upon arriving in the bar, he ordered a beer and got a mug placed between his hands. He exclaimed, “Wow these mugs are big!” The bartend…er replied, “Everything is big in Texas.” After a couple of beers, the blind man asked the bartender where the bathroom was located. The bartender replied, “Second door to the right.” The blind man headed for the bathroom, but accidentally tripped over and skipped the second door. Instead, he entered the third door, which lead to the swimming pool and fell into the pool by accident. Scared to death, the blind man started shouting, “Don’t flush, don’t flush!”

     After the waitress finished taking the order, she came over to the table and said to the woman, “Pardon me, ma’am, but I think your husband just slid under the table.”
     The woman calmly looked up at her and replied firmly, “No he didn’t. He just walked in the door.”

a pastor went to visit his 93 year old church member that was in the hospital and was quickly failing….the pastor loved this guy because he was very spiritual and very inspiring to people.  while the pastor and the family stood by the bedside, the old man motioned to the pastor to give him a piece of paper and a pen to write something.  the man wrote something down, handed it to the pastor and died. 

the pastor decided that it must have been something inspirational that the old man wrote, so he decided NOT to read it until the guys funeral.

so, at the funeral, the pastor gave the old man’s eulogy, and then announced to his family and friends that the old man had written something down right before he died, and he wanted to read for the first time…..

the pastor said, “old ROY was such a good christian and so inspirational to people, so let’s find out what his last words were.” the pastor opens the note and reads, “you stupid moron, you’re standing on my oxygen hose!!”

random thoughts for friday january 13th, 2012

YIKES…FRIDAY THE 13TH..BE CAREFUL TODAY…HA HA

your daily blog is sponsored by FLOORMAX in ABERDEEN…they have the largest selection of in stock flooring in a 150 mile radius of ABERDEEN…so, that begs the question….WHY WOULD YOU GO ANYWHERE ELSE?  see them in the auto plaza in ABERDEEN….

 

1.  here come some funnies to tickle your funny bone…..

 

2.  i have never really understood the “confetti comedy” of comedian RIP TAYLOR…but, apparently millions of other people have, because he’s had a tremendous career…..RIP TAYLOR is turning 78 today, so we thought we would salute him….

here he is in his early years, which don’t look much different than the later years…ha ha

here he is with DEBBIE REYNOLDS…

here’s RIP TAYLOR today throwing confetti….

 

3.  this is going to make some of you feel old…..BILLY GRAY, who played “BUD ANDERSON” on “FATHER KNOWS BEST”, turns 74 today….yep…..everybody remembers that cute little boy…here he is with his tv family…..BILLY GRAY is in the bottom right corner…

and here’s BILLY GRAY today at 74……

 

4.  SOUTH DAKOTA is in mourning….we lost an icon yesterday…former governor BILL JANKLOW died of brain cancer yesterday at the age of 72…….

putting politics aside, we should all remember the things he did for our station.  JANKLOW helped really put our state on the map…you can do that when you’re governor for 16 years….which is longer than ANY OTHER GOVERNOR IN OUR STATE…..

here he is when he was much younger….

you almost didn’t have to even have a heart inside of you to not be affected by his comments a few weeks ago when he announced his brain cancer.  MR. JANKLOW was very somber, even crying at times talking about his life coming to an end…..i’m not making light of his illness, but i am envious of his having weeks to say goodbye and close out your life on earth….many people do not get that luxury….

here’s a photo of BILL JANKLOW the night he announced he was dying…you will notice the stapes in the side of his head from brain surgery…

flags are being flown at half staff until after JANKLOW’S funeral next week….

we thank you MR. JANKLOW for everything you did for the state…we may not have always agreed with you, but we can’t deny the passion and the love you had for our state…..GOD BLESS YOU, SIR….

5.  i had met BILL JANKLOW a few times, and i can tell you, that every time i met him he was so so so courteous.  very smart man, too….

my favorite memory of him is when we both competed in a “celebrity race” at the BROWN COUNTY SPEEDWAY….i drove the race car of a friend of mine from LISBON, N.D. by the name of TODD CARTER….i was claustrophobic in the car…i really didn’t like it, and then they put the helmet on me and i just about went crazy….but, i continued the race anyway…..

i sucked at driving…JANKLOW LAPPED ME TWICE…no kidding, he really did…..he gave me crap after the race because everybody else was already in the pits getting out of their cars when i came past the finish line…..ha ha

i’ll never drive another race car, i can guarantee you that….but i wouldn’t trade that race for anything, for the chance to visit with BILL JANKLOW and the memories i have of visiting with him.

6.  ABERDEEN WINGS HOCKEY TONIGHT, BABY….

it’s the “I HATE WINTER” parties this weekend at the game as the “BLAST THE BLIZZARD”…the ALEXANDRIA BLIZZARD…however, i’m now 47 years old…i sincerely doubt that i will wear shorts and a festive shirt to the game…..i’ll just stick to my WING’S jersey…

7.  a parent group wants to reintroduce the subject of breastfeeding to SESAME STREET, so kids know the natural way to feed a baby…hey, it’s either that or we can have them watch BIG BIRD try to feed a baby thru regurgitation…..(that episode will be sponsored by the letters DOUBLE-D)

8.  wow..this is weird, but true….a 46 year old man drowned by jumping into a vat of glenfiddich whiskey….his family will honor his wishes and have him buried on the rocks….(screw the embalming…this guy’s about as preserved as he can get!)

9.  MISSISSIPPI governor HALEY BARBOUR has pardoned 200 prisoners…..

11.  KHLOE KARDASHIAN is slamming reports that the late ROBERT KARDASHIAN is not her father….damn…the one time they didn’t tape themselves having sex…………………………

12.  did you hear that the scientific world has officially recognized a newly discovered poisonous viper?  no..wait..hold the phone…it’s just another republican debate…

13.  JOKE OF THE DAY:

A blonde, a red head and a brunette were competing in the English Channel Breast Stroke Competition. The redhead won and the brunette came in second. However, there was no sign of the final contestant. Hours and hours went by causing grave concern and worry. Just as everyone was losing hope, the blonde finally arrived.

The crowd was extremely happy and relieved to see her. They embraced the young girl as she came ashore. After all of the excitement died down, she leaned over to the judge and whispered, “I hate to be a bad loser, but I think those other girls used their arms.”

HAVE AN AWESOME WEEKEND EVERYBODY…

i CANNOT TELL YOU how many times i have done the following thing in the past years…wow….

this next sign should teach any parents not to watch their kids!!

absolutely no words are needed for the next one…ha ha

 

2.  happy birthday wishes are in order today for country music/pop singer/legend RAY PRICE…he turns 86 years old today….

i wanted to feature him because he is definetly a living legend…this guy was so traditional country back in the 50’s and 60’s, crossed over to pop in the 70’s, and has been touring on the road since the 50’s…AND STILL GOING TODAY….

i had a chance to not only see him in concert a few years back, but also meet him….i had met GARTH BROOKS, ALAN JACKSON, GEORGE STRAIT, and others, but i SHOOK when i met RAY PRICE…that’s how big this guy is….

i guess, one of the big reasons i’m such a fan, is that years ago, RAY PRICE shared an apartment with my musical idol HANK WILLIAMS after HANK had left his wife for awhile….from what i hear, these guys were nothing but trouble together…ha ha

here’s RAY in his early years….

and here’s RAY PRICE today on birthday number 86…LOOKING GREAT…AND STILL HAS THAT INCREDIBLE VOICE…

 

2.  do you remember RAY PRICE’S big hits?  well, i’m about to remind you…

here’s the all time classic “HEARTACHES BY THE NUMBER.”

and here’s the song that transcended country music into pop music, and became one of the biggest selling songs of the entire 1970’s….here’s RAY PRICE and “FOR THE GOOD TIMES.”

3.  have you ever wondered whatever happened to the “INGALLS’S MAMA” ?  her name is KAREN GRASSLE, and she played CAROLINE INGALLS on “LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE”…..what a beautiful woman she was, and is…here she is back on the show…

KAREN GRASSLE has done some acting and stage work since the show…she was once in a production of “DRIVING MISS DAISY.”

she is now 69 years old…she turns 70 in february…WOW…and is still beautiful!!!

4.  if a friend of mine and I figured it out right yesterday, this saturday night will be the 15th time i’ve hosted the SOUTH DAKOTA SNOW QUEEN FESTIVAL….i know FOR SURE it’s been over a dozen years, but, if our calculations are right, that’s what it is……man, that’s a lot of pageants…..AND I’M ONLY 28 YEARS OLD…HOW DOES THAT WORK?

5.  i was a dead hunk of nothing last night..ha ha…the previous night i only slept two hours total, so, last night my butt was on the couch by 6:15, and i really don’t remember much after that….sometimes we need to go into short comas like that….

6.  it’s a new episode of “THE OFFICE” tonight….and i don’t care..ever since ANDY took over as boss and STEVE CARRELL left, the show hasn’t been the same….i would normally be excited all day long for tonight, but, that feeling is gone….oh, i’ll watch it, but it’s not the same….

7.  HOSTESS, the makers of TWINKIES, has filed for bankruptcy….i wonder if it’s just a coincidence that this happened right after CHARLES BARKLEY went on WEIGHT WATCHERS….

8.  in ARKANSAS,  a criminal forced a 73 year old woman to rob a bank…why?  i’m sure that he figured he didn’t need to get her a ski mask when she could just pull her rubber pants over her head….

9.  a man from FLORIDA was arrested last weekend for animal cruelty when he drove his jeep thru a flock of seagulls….next he plans on driving his car thru “WHAM”, and “FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD.”  (you have to be a child from the 80’s to appreciate this one!)

10.  LINDSAY LOHAN reportedly owes over $93,000 dollars to the I.R.S…..to pay it off, she plans on appearing nude in next month’s “INTERNAL REVENUE DIGEST.”

11.  VAN HALEN with original lead singer DAVID LEE ROTH have released on song called “TATTOO.”  it’s apparently the answer to fans asking them, “is that a tattoo or a liver  spot?”

12.  JOKE OF THE DAY:

Maxine took her car to her mechanic. She told him “Every time I take any of my friends out in my car, after a while there is this terrible smell! It never happens when I am on my own.”
    This quite intrigued the mechanic so he said, “OK, let’s go for a spin and see what the problem is.”
    Off they went.
    She drove down a one-way street in the wrong direction at 70 MPH, swerving, hitting the curb on both sides of the street, narrowly missed three pedestrians in pedestrian crossings, ran several red lights, and just missed a policeman on street traffic duty.
    They returned to the shop and she said, “There it is now, there’s that terrible smell. Can you smell it?”
    “Smell it? Lady, I’m sittin’ in it!”

 

HAVE A TREMENDOUS THURSDAY MY FRIENDS…
