Trivial Stuff #1

I'm trying to weed out the stuff that I should have weeded out ten years ago when we moved to our present location.  It will take me at least another year to get even close to being done, but it doesn't seem like too much of a chore, because I am finding or remembering lots of interesting things that I saved up over the years.  Most of this I will throw out and a little of it I will post to this blog.

Here are a few of the things I found yesterday:

todo:  Visit the elephant museum on Rt 30. 

what?:  The moonman speech.

todo:    Visit the Portuguese Restaurant in Frederick.. at 611 N. Market St.

who?:  Tenor ...  Umberto Giordano

phrase:  She was like poultry in motion.

todo:  Visit the Mucha museum in Prague.

todo:   Find out about the Wilcox murder case.

todo:   Find out how to use the "snipping tool"

can do:  Clone your dog in San Francisco for $100,000.  (Dogs are the 18th animal to be cloned.  Dolly the sheep was first.  Italy was the first country to clone a horse.  A cloned calico cat had weird colors.)  I believe Barbara Streisand just cloned her dog.

saying:  President Ford:  "If Lincoln was alive today, he'd be turning over in his grave."

look for:  The midgets in the final scene of Casablanca.



Joke:  A man rubs a lamp and a genie says he will grant him a wish:

Man: I would like to have a highway made from the mainland to the island of Hawaii.

Genie:  That's too hard to do.  Make a different wish.

Man:  Let me understand women.

Genie:  How many lanes do you want?

(I may have gotten this from Hermine Saunders)




Joke:  A man takes his depressed wife to see a doctor.  The doctor says that the wife's problems will be solved if she has some loving 3 times a week.  The man says: "OK, put me down for Tuesdays."

(Maybe stolen from Roy Ciavacci)



Joke:  Man 1:  When you were in the army, did you get a commission?
           Man 2:  No, just straight pay.

(maybe from Reader's Digest)



GENUG!
