Sports Beat - Consolation Prize Division

Aaron Rodgers wins an award.  The Packers still aren't in the Super Bowl.  Lousy refs.

Just Great

First the prostate & prostate exam!  Now, what?

Gableman Must Be Removed

This man, I use the term loosely, is continuing to embarrass this (once?) great state.  He has to go.

Sean Duffy Dead?

I just never, never, never get tired of reporting news like this.

According to a press release, Bath detectives obtained a statement from Watrous on the subject of the death of 35-year-old Sean Duffy, who was found dead of an apparent drug overdose on Saturday in a room at the Bath Hampton Inn. Watrous is believed to be one of the last people who saw Duffy alive.

Etta James, R.I.P.

She's dead.

I saw her down at Jazz Fest several years ago.  Her set was shortened due to a pretty terrific thunderstorm.  It was wonderful, nonetheless.  I also got a series of pictures of Ms. James at the same venue.  It was a high point of my life.  She had that something, all right.  & we were very lucky to see her in New Orleans.

More here. 

& here.

Scott Walker's Trusted Aides Charged With Felonies

Including child enticement.  Let's watch that slimy bastard Walker weasel out of this one.

Bah Humbug

Lousy refs, really lousy refs.

15 - 1

The refs were all right. So was Mr. Flynn.  QB controversy?  Doubt it.

The DEA & Medicine

Here's what happens when the DEA makes health care decisions.  It's also why this country is slowly going to shit. 

Maybe This Is Why My Doc Isn't On My Overweight Case

I don't like sentences like these:

This translates into a sobering reality: once we become fat, most of us, despite our best efforts, will probably stay fat.

The Left Wins Again

Good comeback win for the people in Jamaica.

Not A Huge Revelation

Hopefully, it will be a huge blow to fast food franchises.  I know, I know, I must add the health warning about not holding your breath loyal 5 (yes, five!) readers. Remember, if you don't breath, you die.

Elderly people with high blood levels of vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids had less brain shrinkage and better mental performance, a Neurology study found.

Trans fats found in fast foods were linked to lower scores in tests and more shrinkage typical of Alzheimer's.

That's a live link in the quote.

Science Matters

Here's another reason why.

Researchers found that wild chimps that spotted a poisonous snake were more likely to make their "alert call" in the presence of a chimp that had not seen the threat. 

This indicates that the animals "understand the mindset" of others.

As You Know

I just can't get enough of headlines like this:

Sean Duffy is not alone, Jail all ignorant pigs that abuse memorial pages

Day After Xmas

No boat, loyal five (yes, 5) readers.  However, I can now make my own bubble water, sweet. My failed wild plum jelly will now become a refreshing carbonated soda.  Also, no four-wheeler.  1out of 3, in baseball I could get signed to a multiyear, multimillion dollar contract if I had that average. 

Joke Time

BTW, the refs sure stunk up Kansas City last Sunday, eh?  I could smell it way up north & through the radio.

Now the joke, as it were.

All  drugs have two names, a trade name and generic  name.

        Example, the trade name is Tylenol and its generic name is Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is  also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called  Ibuprofen.

   

The FDA has  been looking for a generic name for  Viagra.  

After careful consideration by a team of government experts,  it recently announced that it has settled on the  generic name of Mycoxafloppin.  Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin,  Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin. 

Pfizer Corp announced today that Viagra will soon be available in  liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola  as a power beverage suitable for use as a  mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself  a stiff one. 

Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of 'cocktails',  'highballs' and just a good old-fashioned 'stiff  drink'.  Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO. 

 
Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on  breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research.  This means that by 2020, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections  and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.  

You Tell Me

He’s dead. 

Crossing into Kuwait, the other way. 

Landslides kill. 

Oil rig sinks. 

Refugee boat capsizes. 

 

Just wait until one of the guys doesn’t get a boat after 40 years of marriage. Then let’s check the health. 

The ReThugs solution to our obesity problem. Who knew they actually had a plan?

Shit

The news seems to always be lousy.

Cesaria Evora, R.I.P.

She's dead.

Worse Justice Ever?

Maybe, but Scott Walker hasn't had a chance to select one to fill a term.
