We'd get to experience impropmtu concerts like this all over the city!
This of course led me to one of my favorite jazz pieces, "Take Five" done by the Dave Brubek Quartet:
Turn this one up as loud as you can.

I've Joked About Things Like This Before.
It was 24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina's wish to stand at his own funeral and when he was found dead, his family made sure that his wish came true.

After being embalmed, his corpse was propped up for his three day wake in his mother's living room dressed in his favorite Yankees cap and sunglasses.


Wow.

Sarah Palin, You Shrew
I know every one of you out there can't get enough of the Sarah Palin talk, but frankly, whenever I hear any word come out of her mouth I'm automatically taken back 10+ years to watching Bobby's World- and to his mother's accent.. "dontchano" HA!
God knows it took me long enough to register who the hell everyone was talking about while her picture flashed all over the television.
"Why would Tina Fey run for VP of the Republican Party? Am I watching an SNL Weekend Update special?"

Mmmm, no....
"Oh! Oh. The actress from Will and Grace is a Republican? I had no idea."

Again, no...but you're close.
THIS is your woman, The Maverick, The Moosehunter, THE SARAH!

Ah. Hm.
Sarah Palin is a shrew. I've never used this word so much in my vocabulary until now. It's actually pretty sad that the Republican Party, who previously could barely stand McCain as a candidate, is now ass crazy about the upcoming election. You know why? McCain is 900 years old. Palin just lost her first tooth. Perhaps Republicans are excited at the idea of this novice shrew taking over the Presidential hot seat if and when McCain dies in office. (I only use if should the world suddenly go to shit and elect him because afterall, he WILL die in office)
The following website was sent to me via a friend. It's quite interesting. An open letter from someone in her Alaskan community, so claiming to know her so well she knows Sarah Palin's in laws.

Enjoy.
Her speech last night was indeed full of fire, but ... what was it's purpose? I'm pretty sure, can't be too sure I was moderately intoxicated, that the entire time she was up there she continuously bashed Obama and the Democratic Party. Ok, alls fair in Presidential races I suppose...Obama did his share of mud slinging. But...did she talk about her plans for America's future should she be elected as Vice President? Nope! It was a high school cool lunch table gossip fest is what it was. Obama and Palin used to date, then he broke up with her because she was a shrew. So now she's going to whatever lengths she can to break his character. Hopefully the American people won't fall for this bucket of flammable poo and elect who we know would better serve this country.
I hate looking at her face.
BA-KAAAAAAAAAW!
That was my textual impression of what a chicken noise would sound like.

R.I.P. To The Scariest Voice In The Entire World.
Mr Don LaFontaine passed away this past Monday due to complications from something I've never heard of, but better known as a collapsed lung.
Rest in peace sir! You truly do have the voice of God. Or, what I imagine his voice to be anyway.
In a world....

I'll Believe It When I See It
Now I can see why people don't believe in God. They can't see him, so whats the worth of it, right? That's what I think of when I read the following story. It's inspirational and almost tear worthy. It was even pulled out of Chicken Soup for the Soul WORD FOR WORD! But like the skeptic I am, I googled Nat King Cole LO AND BEHOLD- it isn't true.
THE STORY:
"One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American
woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway
trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had
broken down and she desperately needed a ride.
Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.
A young white man stopped to help her, generally
unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man
took her to safety, helped her get assistance and
put her into a taxicab.
She seemed t o be in a big hurry, but wrote down his
address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a
knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a
giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A
special note was attached..
It read:
"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway
the other night. The rain drenched not only my
clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along.
Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying
husband's bedside just before he passed away... God
bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving
others."
Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole."
THE PROOF IT'S ALL A LIE:
"Though it's a lovely story, it too didn't happen. Nat King Cole died of lung cancer at dawn on February 15th 1965 in Santa Monica, California. He was hospitalized in December 1964, and on January 25th 1965 his left lung was removed. At least from the date of his operation until his death, Maria Cole was with him every day. There was no opportunity for her to have been stranded in the rain beside an Alabama highway in the weeks leading up to her husbands death. She was sitting with him when he passed away, and none of the newspapers that commented on her vigil made mention of a last minute dash to the hospital, an automotive breakdown, or a helpful Samaritan who got her there in time."

Dangit, it was so good too!
Oh well. Hey have you heard about that midget that killed himself on set of The Wizard of Oz...
