Lily, Lance (and Kylie)

It's "HUMP DAY" (YAY!)

I have to ask, IS ANYONE STILL READING THE BLOG? We haven't received comments in days, people... The staff is discouraged. Here's how it works... We spend lots and lots of time writing lots and lots of drivel and putting up pictures of people we think you will enjoy. You comment on the drivel, and/or pictures, every once in awhile, OK? (Are you sensing that we, OK I, am not quite back to normal? You know, I have had a VERY difficult week. Cranky isn't my "M.O.," but it's just where I'm at right now - work with me.) In our maiden post, we said that this blog should not replace your daily dose of CNN (or any other credible news source). We have re-thought that and believe that it should. Here, on an almost daily basis, you will find everything you will need to know to make small talk at the office, in the classroom, in the courtroom, the brothel, the county jail, or wherever it is you spend your day. The facts presented here are almost always accurate (we strive for 67% of the things we say to be true, so you should have some confidence when you relay our facts). Our spelling, however, is impeccable and you can rest assured that almost every word will be spelled the way it should be!

Here are the headlines for TODAY...



As of this writing, there have been 3,018 U.S. casualties in Iraq. Tonight, President Bush announced his plan to send over 20,000 more troops. (I have to admit, I didn't watch his speech. I was actually at a bar, NOT drinking, but watching Kylie Minogue videos (she's HOT), so I don't know what he said, but the thought of more loss of life is simply sickening to me.) While I haven't done my "Year In Review," you know, a recap of all the "fun" and "noteworthy" things that happened in "Kev's" world in 2006, I did look back in my journal (yes, I keep one - it highlights important activities, concerts, one night stands, travels, etc...). Anyway, back in January of 2006, I traveled on a flight from somewhere to somewhere else (my notes are VERY detailed) and I was one of few "civilians" on a flight full of Marines heading BACK to Iraq. My first impression was that they all looked like babies. It was VERY sad to me, although they were all "up beat," even when I asked, "Isn't war scary?" (Which is exactly what I wrote in the journal.) Way too young to be going to war in my opinion. I hate war and think it should be reserved for older people who have at least lived a little, not 18, 19, or 20-year-olds. I think this should be an international law. All soldiers from all countries should be at least 75, don't you think? I think the war would be over by now if that were the case. Because really, when you are 75, or even 39 like me, who cares? There's no reason for war and a 75-year-old would "get" that (hopefully). (Sort of like how I feel about Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's marriage woes.)

On a sad note, actress Yvonne De Carlo, best known as "Lily Munster" of "The Munsters" died today at the age of 84. I loved that show, didn't you? "Grandpa," who was played by Al Lewis, who passed away in February of 2006, was my favorite. I believe the only cast members still living are Butch Patrick, "Eddie," and Pat Priest, "Marilyn," whom I have recurring dreams about. (I don't know why, but that's TRUE.)



Lance Armstrong was in Washington D.C. today, pushing politicians to devote more funding towards cancer research. Each day, 1,500 Americans die of cancer (I did NOT know that. That is a LOT of people...) Anyway, I can't think of a hotter guy championing for a better cause, can you?


Despite our poor attitude (OK, just mine), we are HAPPY that you stopped in and we HOPE you are having a good week!

"Kev" will be back tomorrow.

Ciao babes!
