June 28, 2013 - Friday Funny - Heartless Fun

This week's FRIDAY FUNNY takes a "stab" at a possible sequel to the movie classic, "The Wizard of Oz."

I always knew if one of Dorothy's new friends went bad, it would be the Tin Man.

June 24, 2013 - PPM - High School Graduations

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) concerns High School Graduations.
 

It is that time of the year when I receive "High School Graduation" announcements from people I haven't seen in years. In some instances, I didn't even know they had children.
 

It comes across as a naked cash grab. I've always been a huge supporter of higher education, but it's HIGH SCHOOL!!!
 

 

Here are my rules:

 

Kindergarten Graduation: I don't offer gifts. I don't attend, NOT EVEN FOR MY OWN KIDS.
 

Grade School Graduation: I don't offer gifts. I will only attend my OWN kid's ceremony as long as there are no schedule conflict.
 

High School Graduation: No gifts, unless I am the God Father or biological parent. I attended my oldest child's and was dismayed by the "hooting and hollering" from the parents. The reverence of the event has surely changed since I graduated. You would think, that this High School Graduation may have been the first in the family.........EVER!!!
 

College Graduation: Yes, I will attend and contribute. But ONLY, if the graduate has planned for their future by studying a relevant subject.
 

If you decided to major in "Appalachian Studies" or "Medieval Poetry" or "VCR Repair," I'm not going to be funding your debt recovery.
 

My position is clear. Study something that is relevant and I WILL invest in your future.
 

Otherwise, I may give you invaluable life advice as I offer you a sarcastic:  "Well Done."

June 21, 2013 - Friday Funny - PC Police

This week's FRIDAY FUNNY is what happens when an ethnic group is "politically incorrect."

Do we show morale outrage? Do we condemn the messenger?

It cracks me up when Jerry Seinfeld tells a joke with a Jewish focus. To me, he's Jewish and it's allowed.

The below sign, probably offended some. To me, I laugh, and would probably stop and spend some dollars or yuan at the establishment.

June 20, 2013 - RIP James Gandofini

James Gandofini died yesterday while on vacation in Rome. We all knew the actor as Tony Soprano. I was on the couch every Sunday night watching the show, wondering who would be "whacked" next.

What is sobering about Gandofini's sudden death is that he was only 51. He was exactly one month older than me.

Two months ago, I "celebrated" the fact that I had outlived my own father. He too had died at 51.

The message I always tell my children is to enjoy life. Any day on this side of the soil is a good day.

Sure, Tony Soprano will be missed by his fans, but James Gandofini will be missed by his family and friends.

RIP - James

June 7, 2013 - Friday Funny - Living the Dream

This week's FRIDAY FUNNY is the below picture. It is what happens when people buy into, "Hope and Change."

A campaign slogan is not a good way to run a country.
