  1. So is it just a coincidence that Barbra Joan Streisand Brolin attended Erasmus High School?
  2. So you prefer oral... Quelle Surprise!
  3. When answering machines were first getting popular, and everyone had to have a very clever outgoing message, my then-roommate's brother had a friend who could do a really good Rodney Dangerfield impression. He recorded a message for the brother's answering machine. I called his house, put my receiver's earpiece next to the answering machine's mic & recorded it. It took several calls to get the timing just right. It annoyed my roommate, who hated the original message, so (of course) every time she recorded over it, I'd re-do the whole thing. After awhile, I got the timing down just right. For a few years, every Dec. 31 I'd have ABBA's Happy New Year in my message. I think my best message was: You are getting sleepy, Very, Very sleepy. Your eyelids are closing, You can barely keep them open. At the sound of the beep, You will leave your name, date of birth, And credit card number... (BEEP) Another favorite began with a snippet from Donna Summer's The Hostage: (Phone rings) Donna: Hello Male voice: Lady, we've just kidnapped your husband. Have $800,000 ready by tomorrow night. And lady, no police, or you'll never see your husband alive again. (click) Donna: Hello? (Dramatic music begins playing) Me: You think YOU have problems? HA! Well, lighten up, leave your name and number at the beep, and I'll get back to you.
  4. I didn't attend high school during the jurassic period. (How many spaces after THAT?) I still remember practicing a;sldkfjgh. I was never a great touch-typist and haven't been able to for years due to severe carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands (had the surgeries... the left one never healed correctly, and after the carpal tunnel came back was advised NOT to have second surgeries), but it's always helped me type fairly quickly with one finger on each hand due to an ingrained familarity with the keyboard.
  5. It depends on how heavy her flow is. Didn't you take typing in high school?
  6. Silly me... Rose Nylund's daughter?!?!?!?!?!?
  7. Okay, I did a REAL double-take when I saw this headline... Blanche Devereaux's daughter (and teen-aged Darlene Connor's adult friend, whom Roseanne didn't realize was also the woman who'd bought her washer and dryer) had an affair with Rock Hudson?!?!?! Vince's ball-busting mom?!?!?!? I never would've guessed!
  8. Isn't she Olive Oyl's cousin?
  9. Is that what the kids are calling cum these days?
  10. And can you imagine the "doggy breath" after eating onions and/or garlic?
  11. A man leaving an Arizona hospital Tuesday tried to beat the heat by stealing an ambulance to avoid walking, police said. The Mesa Police Department said in a news releaseTodd Shell, 37, had just been released from the Banner Desert Hospital around 11:30 a.m. for a “heat related situation.” “When officers interviewed Shell after his arrest, he said when he came out of the hospital he thought it was too hot to walk home,” police said. “He walked back towards the hospital when he found the ambulance running in the bay while the crew was dropping off another patient. Shell decided to take the ambulance at that point so he wouldn’t have to walk.” Mesa Police said Shell was found driving on the U.S. 60 Freeway, and that, as officers tried to stop the 37-year-old, he “continued driving at normal speeds.” After getting off the freeway, Shell stopped and was soon surrounded by police. “Shell said that he wanted to buy a sandwich, but needed to go home and get some money first,” police said. “He said that he intended to return the ambulance.” Shell was booked into jail on one count of unlawful use of means of transportation and one count of unlawful flight from law enforcement, according to police. A representative with the Phoenix Fire Department told FOX10 it’s not out of the ordinary for EMTs to leave the keys in the ignition, while bringing a patient into the ER.
  12. The cast of GRIMM took part in Portland's nude bike ride when the show filmed there. I think I've seen other pics where they were sans clothing.
  13. A historic drop in Facebook stock pulled technology stocks lower on Wall Street, even as other sectors climbed. Facebook plummeted 19 percent Thursday after warning of slower growth ahead, erasing more than $100 billion in value. The drop was the largest one-day loss in value of any publicly traded company in history. Jeff Bezos is the world’s richest person — and it’s not even close The first $30 billion is the hardest. Just ask Jeff Bezos. The billionaire Amazon founder just saw his wealth climb from $120 billion to $150 billion over the last six months — a mere fraction of the 49 years it took him to gain his first $30 billion. Bezos crossed over the $150 billion net worth mark as his shares were lifted in part because of Amazon Prime Day. And so far, it’s unlikely that anyone will overtake the tech titan’s spot as the world’s richest person. Bill Gates holds the No. 2 spot with a middling $95 billion — leaving him $55 billion behind Bezos. Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg hold spots 3 and 4, respectively — each having a net worth of roughly $83 billion, according to Bloomberg data. Bezos, 54, hit the $30 billion mark in October 2013 — when shares of the e-commerce giant were trading for roughly $360 apiece. His next $30 billion ascent took about two and a half years — to May 2016 — as Amazon’s share price doubled. But 2018 has clearly been Bezos’ year, as Amazon shares gained 57 percent in just seven months — quickly adding more than $50 billion to his net worth. If Bezos, who holds a 16 percent stake in Amazon, were his own company, he would rank 37th on the S&P 500 by market capitalization, according to Bloomberg data. And the chances of Bezos outlasting his wealth are slim. Assuming he lives to 100, he’d need to cash out of his Amazon holdings and spend $9 million a day to die with nothing. http://37.media.tumblr.com/b1a7ed959b2518df2a355568f4f8ecbc/tumblr_mlnylnFBx41rp0vkjo1_400.gif

  15. At least six people have been detained following the release of a distressing video which appears to show a half-naked inmate being pinned to a table and tortured by guards at a Russian jail. The graphic 10-minute-long was released by Russia’s Novaya Gazeta newspaper on Friday. The paper claims that the gruesome incident took place in a jail in the central Russian city of Yaroslavl back in June 2017. The video caught attention of the Russia’s Investigative Committee which launched a probe into the case. On Monday the committee confirmed that at least six people have been detained so far. The disturbing footage allegedly shows a dozen officers from the Federal Penitentiary Service beating a prisoner, who is pinned down on a table as he screams in pain, pleading with the guards to stop. Identified as Evgeny Makarov by Novaya Gazeta, the inmate allegedly chokes and loses consciousness several times. The inmate is hit on his calves and heels with rubber batons and fists. One of the men in the footage is seen pouring water from a bucket over the prisoner’s head. The graphic footage was provided to the paper by lawyers of the Public Verdict Foundation, a human rights group which now represents Makarov. In the meantime, the prisoner’s lawyer, Irina Biryukova, appealed for state protection following threats, according to the Public Verdict Foundation on Monday. In her letter to the Investigative Committee chief, Alexander Bastrykin, Biryukova claimed that some guards from the video threatened to take revenge against the inmate’s lawyer.
