Lola, Crime and Punishment, -and- Watch Out!


Lola - father of five naturally turning into woman
Crime and Punishment - man gets 4,060 years for molesting children
Watch Out! - flat-screen TVs blamed for accelerating global warming

On this day in history: July 3, 1963 - Two former secretaries of the Nation of Islam file paternity suits against the head of their church, the honorable Elijah Muhammad. They claimed the prophet had fathered their four children. The allegations eventually cause Malcolm X to quit the NOI.

Born on this day in history: July 3, 1883 - Franz Kafka (1883 - 1924) born July 3, 1883, Prague, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary [now in Czech Republic]—died June 3, 1924, Kierling, near Vienna, Austria. German-language writer of visionary fiction, whose posthumously published novels—especially "Der Prozess" (1925; "The Trial") and "Das Schloss" (1926; "The Castle")—express the anxieties and alienation of 20th-century man.

Scripture of the Day: This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Reform your ways and your actions, and I will let you live in this place. - Jeremiah 7:3

I wish everyone a very festive and safe 4th of July! Enjoy the day, and God bless America!

The Blond Guy

An Irishman, a Mexican, and a blond guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.

They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump off this building."

The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too."

The blond opened his lunch and said, "Bologna again! If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too."

The next day, the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage, and jumped to his death.

The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a burrito, and jumped, too.

The blond guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death as well.

At the funeral, the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said, "If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!"

The Mexican's wife also wept and said, "I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much."

Everyone turned and stared at the blond's wife. The blond's wife said, "Don't look at me. The idiot made his own lunch."

Lola story's hard to swalow.

4060 years seems about right, but the death penalty would be better. It's a shame this is not an option for this crime.

Great fireworks. Happy 4th!

The fireworks are beautiful. I saw the fireworks at Cal Expo five years ago. Parking and leaving afterwards was horrid then, so I can only imagine what it's like now. I understand why you're opting for the fireworks in the park, Cindy!

Have a happy and safe 4th everyone!

Yeah those Disney fireworks are great there's no doubt at all and you're sure right bout Cal Expo Dani. It was probably ok about 20 years ago or so but I've been the last two years and it was a nightmare and a half getting parked and walking a gazillion miles to the racetrack where the fireworks are shot off then walking a gazillion miles back to the car and being stuck in traffic for a couple hours or so. No thanks. Great fireworks but I'll pass. William Land Park here we come.

Left early today. All done until next week thankyouverymuch. Going to do some housework I've been lax on and some shopping and all and relax then. Pizza tonight. We'll spruce it up a bit and it'll be great.

Have a great 4th everybody!
