A Little Bit Of That

From my fair and balanced reporting:

OK I knew I had a lot of readers out there but never realized just how many.

You may remember my post May 6th about American Idol finalist Danny Gokey shilling for LensCrafters.

Well someone at LensCrafters must have read my blog and issued a press release.

LensCrafters says it isn't giving Danny Gokey free eyewear.

Don't look at us, LensCrafters is saying. A rep said that Gokey is not on its payroll and that he is in no way affiliated with the company.

Its current ad campaign made its debut April 19, and marketers at the company noticed a few days later that Gokey was flashing its central symbol. LensCrafters has never given him free glasses either.

I don't know if you noticed last week Gokey didn't flash heart-from-fingers gesture.

Maybe Idol bosses told him to stop.

This week when he flashed the heart sign he promptly got a warning from Ryan Seacrest.

It also seems a little odd that Lenscrafters felt the need to release a statement denying any association.

I'm just saying.

In any case I underestimated the power of my blog.


Do you know?

What famous North American landmark is constantly
moving backward?

Niagara Falls (The rim is worn down about two and a half feet each year because of the millions of gallons of water that rush over it every minute.)

When it's not frozen that is.

What are the fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar?

I can name them, I just don't know where to put them.

They are, period, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation marks, brackets, parenthesis, braces, and ellipses.

Bet you had trouble naming more than seven.



Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.

The only vegetable or fruit never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form but fresh is Lettuce.

I suspect this has to do with the rabbits' union making sure lettuce is fresh.


How many of you have seen the flyers taped to a post when someone has lost a dog or a cat?

I'm walking down the street the other day and I saw the following flyer:


I know many of you are saying I sure hope they find that cat.

Did your brain play tricks on you making you feel bad the cat was lost?

Take another look at the flyer and notice it does not say anything about the cat being lost.

It appears that someone just thinks their cat is awesome and just wondered if you had seen it.


Speaking of flyers:

The wife, Vicki, brought home a flyer from church advertising a fundraiser.

I'm not quite sure how to take it. What is your opinion?

It read:

Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands.

I'm hiding that day.


Today seams like a perfect time for a great quote from one of the best Non-Steroid-Era baseball players of all time.

"It took me seventeen years to get three thousand hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course."
