The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and All Points in Between

He's leaving


Andre Agassi's voice wavered and his eyes welled up. After years of dealing with injuries, after months of contemplation, he finally spoke the words he knew he had to, at the place he knew he had to. Turning what was expected to be a routine pre-Wimbledon news conference into something significant, Agassi announced Saturday he will retire after this year's U.S. Open, leaving tennis after two decades during which he collected a career Grand Slam and morphed from an "Image Is Everything" youngster to elder statesman.

This is a great man leaving a great sport. I have followed his career, and he has entertained me every time he takes the court. This is a sad time for me and for the sport of tennis. He has done more for the sport than anyone I can remember. He also has done more for the level of play from his opponents which in turn filled up stadiums and raised the TV viewing audience. At the end of the day, not only has he done that, but he has given back to his community. Too bad others don't take a page out of Andre Agassi's humanitarian endeavors. Thanks for the show Andre. You are and always will be the man!!!!!!!!!!!!







He's Coming July 7th

A sequel to my all-time favorite movie is coming and I cannot wait!



"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" with Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. If you have not seen the first Pirates of the Caribbean rent it before seeing this one! Great lighthearted fun!








He's here.

Las Vegas has grown so fast and our roads have become rolling parking lots. Those of us that drive around a lot find any little thing we can to amuse ourselves since we are either stopped or barely moving.



Maria was doing just that the other day and called me to share her find for the day. She was following a Volkswagen Jetta with Nevada vanity plates that read IM A 10. Hello, ego party of one, ego party of one.





Well, that is one of the best laughs we have had - an idiot who claims to be a 10, driving a Jetta. Only in Vegas!!




Now, maybe if he was driving one of these,









and he had an unlimited amount of these,



he could convince a few people he was a 10. Thanks for sharing a good laugh Maria!!








He's demoted

British demote goat after it marches out of line
After Billy’s swerving display, mascot no longer afforded military salutes



Since the goat’s demotion, soldiers of a lower rank are no longer expected to salute Billy as a sign of respect. The military mascot, a 6-year-old male goat called Billy, was downgraded from the rank of lance corporal to fusilier — the same status as a private — after army chiefs ruled his poor display had ruined the ceremony earlier this month at a British army base in Episkopi, western Cyprus.

I say, "those British are a proper bunch don't ya think"!!







They're back


Roller derby is experiencing a resurgence in popularity and not too soon! When will we get the TV coverage it deserves? Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!









He is an idiot

Faulty Implant Gave Man 10-Year Erection

A former handyman has won more than $400,000 in a lawsuit over a penile implant that gave him a 10-year erection.

OK OK I could not pass this one up.
1st - It lasted 10 years and he calls it faulty?
2nd - He waited 10 years to sue?
3rd - He was unhappy and he sued?
4th - And I saved the best for last. Why sue for chump change, do you realize how much money he could have gotten for one commercial?








It keeps on going and going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great picture of Andre. He's one home town boy I'm really proud of. So sad he's retiring--even though we knew it was coming soon.
Thanks for the laugh with the Energizer Bunny bit. :o)

Liked the 'right car' to really start on the road to being a 10. Glad it made you laugh, too. Can't really talk, I'm not looking even close to a 10 in my winter coat and sweats! Darn, if Johnny Depp sees that picture I'll never get a date! Johnny, please call anyway.
