New Product Idea

I'm thinking of bottling a new product. I think there's a huge, untapped market for this & I just know it's gonna catch on.  UN-FROZEN ICE.  What do ya think? Any potential? Think of the convenience.  It's gotta be a winner.

My Idea for Colonization of the Moon

The beauty of being a self-proclaimed visionary is that I only have to come up with the basis of an idea. I can leave the fine details & technical aspects to those with proper training. Not sure why this one popped into my head but my motto is, "Into my head, onto my blog." My other motto, "Whoever smelt it, dealt it.", is being sidelined as I can't claim sole creative responsibility for that one.

MOON COLONIZATION: We know it's going to happen eventually.  Plans are probably already in the works. But since I'm not privy to those plans, I am forced to come up with my own.

Problem #1: Oxygen - Ya need this stuff. Epiphany, right? Ok. Problem solved. Biosphere with oxygen generators.

Problem # 2: How do we get a Biosphere up to the Moon? Here's where I came up with my idea.

A PRE-FAB BIOSPHERE - Now I have no idea who can make this or what they're made of. The basis of my idea was simply UN-MANNED CARGO SPACE FLIGHTS to the Moon. We have the technology to fly, orbit  & land space cargo vehicles. My idea is to simply load them with all of the components necessary to build a self-sustaining Biosphere. It might take 10 - 20 deliveries but who cares? Our Government apparently has an unlimited source of funding, credit & small countries who's wars we can support.

So we send off the Cargo Ships & land them on the Moon in precise & close proximity to each other. Once they're all up there, we THEN send up a construction crew to build it.

If it's big enough, once built it can become the foundation for additional construction. Set it up with Pre-Fab Living Quarters.  Places for workers to stay as MORE stuff is sent up to be put together.

So are there such things as Oxygen Generators??? I frequently get my Reality Knowledge confused with my Star Trek knowledge. I can't quite remember what already exists, is soon to exist or only exists on TV.

Anyway, that's my idea.  We're running outta room down here on Terra-Firma. Might as well "George Carlinize" the Moon by moving our STUFF up there.

Pro-Bowl was Un-Watchable

Wow.  That was really bad! The Pro-Bowl was un-watchable due to the players' lack of effort. Would have been better if they changed it to Flag Football. I understand the concept of not wanting any injuries, but this was terrible. Maybe they should change the game to the College Overtime format? At least we might see some better efforts. I had to turn it off. Yikes!

The most competitive All-Star Game to watch is still Baseball, especially now that they're playing for something. (World Series home-field advantage)

Even Hockey is a fun watch with their safety rules in place. Sure, there's no hitting/checking, etc. But the finesse part of the game is still in place and actually, over accentuated. The passing is great and the goal tending is action packed.  I also like the new format of Team Captains doing a school yard pick for teams.  Great idea!

Thoughts?

Early "Wheel of Fortune" Episode

With the revelation made by Pat Sajak this week about he & Vanna getting drunk during taping of the earlier episodes of 'Wheel of Fortune', we decided to go back thru the archives to see if we could find any evidence of this. Here's what we found:

SAJAK: It's your spin, Mary.
[spinning, clicking sound]
SAJAK: $300
MARY: "R"
SAJAK: Are what?
MARY: No, the letter "R".
SAJAK: Sorry, Mary, you have to BUY vowels.
MARY: But "R" isn't a vowel.
SAJAK: ARE what vowels? And that really wasn't grammatically correct.  Where were you brought up? Is English your first language?
MARY: Huh?
SAJAK: Listen, Sally, I run this show. Now do you want to buy an "R" or don't you?
MARY: I .......
SAJAK: Vanna, are there any "I"s ?
VANNA: Where?
SAJAK: Behind those square thingies.
VANNA: What would they look like?
SAJAK: Kind of like a "T" with an extra line at the bottom.
MARY: I didn't say I wanted the letter "I".  I wanted an "R".
SAJAK: "R"s are expensive, Madge, are you sure you can afford it? Show me what you have in your purse.
MARY: But ... I .....
SAJAK: Wilma, are there any "I"s?
VANNA: I'd like to solve the puzzle, Pat.
SAJAK: Seriously?
VANNA: Yeah. I'm pretty sure if I turn these square thingies around we can see some letters behind them. It might be a clue.
SAJAK: And then we'll have Yahtzee?
[Mary is seen slowly walking off camera as they cut to commercial]

Pretty convincing evidence, in our opinion.

Food Poisoning

FYI: Food Poisoning is all it's cracked up to be, and more.

An Amazing Red Wine

Had a pleasant surprise the other night at Farradday's in the Isle Casino in Pompano.  Asked Jacek, our bartender who's name we never knew until this very night - pronounced YAH-check), for a glass of Red, either Cab or Merlot. Left it up to him. His choice/recommendation.  He brought me this one: Girard Artistry 2008 - A Red Blend.  I was blown away! It had the best of all of it's varietal components all rolled into one. Soft like a Merlot, fruity like a Malbec, complex, tight finish like a Cabernet. It was like drinking an Everlasting-Gobstopper!  Can't wait to find this one in our local wine stores.

PRICE GOUGING HAS BEGUN IN PATTWINKI

URGENT: Dateline - The Country of Pattwinki - With the recent horrifying news that there might be no more Twinkies produced due to the Hostess Company filing for bankruptcy, the inevitable Price Gouging has begun in the small, Island Country of Pattwinki.


Boxes of Twinkies are currently selling for as high as 35 Pattwinks each. (approx. $10 US)
Individually wrapped Twinkies are selling for 7 Pattwinks each on the street. (approx. $2 US)


Grand Chancellor Patticakes Winkman is invoking a country-wide state of emergency & ordering an immediate Price Freeze on all Twinkie sales. Although this might stop the average store owner from price gouging, it will not hamper the notorious Black Market which runs rampant in Pattwinki.


"Our biggest enemy in this disaster is FEAR.", Grand Chancellor Winkman was quoted as saying.  He may be right. The fear of being without your country's number one staple food must be overwhelming.


More on this tragic story as it develops.

Hostess Bankruptcy

URGENT: Dateline - The Country of Pattwinki - Pattwinkians are panicking over the news that Hostess, the makers of their National Food, The Twinkie, is filing for bankruptcy for the second time. This might mean the end of the production of Twinkies forever.

Although a heavy blow to the well-being of all Pattwinkians, the situation is not in dire straits just yet. Twinkies have a shelf-life of 7-10 years if frozen.  Citizens have already been seen stocking up on multiple boxes of Twinkies. Stores cannot keep up with the demand.  Many are seen with large signs in their store-front windows stating: Sorry but we're SOLD OUT of Twinkies.

As the supply further dwindles, it is anticipated that incoming delivery trucks of Twinkies could be in jeopardy of being hijacked for their valuable cargo.

More on this tragic story as it develops.

Today I am reflecting upon things in my life that can never be repeated. Granted, I can't post them here as that would be repeating them.

Expressions of Cold

So this morning I'm thinking about common expressions of extreme cold weather & their origins.
"Colder than a witch's tit." Confusing AND kinky.

"Cold enough to freeze the balls off a Brass Monkey." Ummm? Huh?  Where do I begin with this one??? I don't think I've ever SEEN a Brass Monkey??? Where do you get one? Is there a Brass Monkey Store? Or a Brass Monkey section in Walmart? And why would just their balls freeze off? What about their tails? Who comes up with these stupid sayings?

Cold?

The External Temperature Gauge in my truck read "WTF???" this morning. Made me smile.

Awesome racquetball workout tonight. Really nice coming out to chilly temps. New Giants Hoodie did the trick.

AT&T 4G Commercials

They keep running these commercials for the AT&T 4G service. The concept is the speed gets them their info quicker than others. But I'm having troubles understanding what they are saying. The recurring theme is someone asks if they heard about something. Then, the guy/gal with the 4G phone says????
"SO ... 4 seconds ago." Or are they saying, "Saw it 4 seconds ago." ?????  "Saw it" makes more sense but both the guy & the gal sound like they're saying, "SO".  Can anybody help me with this?

Ice Fishing

I think it's cold enough out today to go Ice Fishing. Only problem is I can't figure out how to get the cubes to stay on the hook?

Did ya ever ......

Did ya ever sneeze & fart at the same time? Isn't that the best????

I has a blog!!!

Whatever that is???
