What you got back home little sister to play your fuzzy warbles on?
Alright... I think before I get my greetings and salutations out of the way this morning, I need to address the
MENSA stumper from yesterday. If you clearly read the paragraph leading up to the question, you would see
that it is a "slightly jumbled version of a nursery rhyme," which means perhaps it is not going to read the way
you remember it being taught to you and it is up to you to replace the vowels and separate the words accord-
ingly. I will give you the answer further into the entry. For now I have mingling to do. Saturday... yes, a most lovely day for most people, unless everyday is the same and the only difference be-
tween any day is night time. But we can treat this as being a perfect day for all of us. It is quite drisme out-
side today but the temperature is still unknown to me for I have not set foot out of the door yet. Soon, though. ? The name Wendy was made up for the book "Peter Pan." ? The movie we had discussed making is somewhat in the works. My little kiddo is making one and I am thinking
about acquiring some footage from, since I would like it to be a bit longer than one minute twenty eight seconds.
I do have a major problem with dialogue, so it may take another week for me to complete the creative process. And now for Bizarre Celebrity Suicides:
- Clara Blandick
- actress (Auntie Em in The Wizard of Oz)
1962-Sleeping pills, with a plastic bag tied over her head. She was 81-years-old and suffering from
crippling arthritis. - Chris Chubbuck
- newscaster
1974-Shot herself in the head during a prime time news broadcast on Florida TV station WXLT-TV.
She died 14 hours later. - Yukio Mishima
(Kimitake Hiraoka) - Japanese writer
1970-Suicide by disembowelment and decapitation (a ritual called seppuku or hara-kiri) as a protest
of the Westernization of Japan. He killed himself in front of an assembly (which he himself called) of all
of his students that he was teaching at a university at that time.
delight. Random quotes from people we know exist, or maybe we don't... put that quote at the bottom, please. "I have opinions of my own - strong opinions - but I don't always agree with them."
- George Bush (the elder) "It's time for the human race to enter the solar system!"
- Dan Quayle, on the concept of a manned mission to Mars "Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life."
- Brooke Shields "My fellow Americans. I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."
- President Reagan, before a scheduled radio broadcast, unaware that the microphone was already on "Things are more like they are now than they have ever been."
- President Gerald Ford
"We are not
without accomplishment. We have managed to distribute poverty
equally."
- Nguyen Co Thatch, Vietnamese foreign minister
"We don't
necessarily discriminate. We simply exclude certain types of
people."
- Colonel Gerald Wellman, ROTC instructor
This video is very interesting and it was forwarded to me yesterday. Please, if you have the capability to view
this, take five minutes and watch it. It will make you think. Brought to you courtesy of Maynard J. Keenan. MENSA answer: JACK BE NIMBLE, JACK BE QUICK, FOR THE LIGHT JUST CHANGED AND THE ROAD IS SLICK.
Don't feel so bad, only 65% of the MENSA members who answered this question were correct. This concludes today's broadcast.

Speak for
yourself, I had SAT's damnit, Saturday not pleasant, yet
brainwracking. OMG last night on
the debate Bush made up like two more words, but I can't remember
what they were, I do remember
laughing at him though, lol. "for the light just changed and
the road is slick"? WTF?!? Well, at least I got
the first part right.

...so not much
brain power out there today but I am sure some of you need a
rest...as for Auntie Em...
what a terrible way to go...did she chant over and over again,
"There's no place like home...there's no
place like home...and then all the color faded from her
technicolor world and faded to black. Terrible
terrible terrible...."Dorothy, the tornadoes coming and I am
suffocating!"
