Got a few things on my mind this week so let’s get to them…
A couple of yuks I recently wrote and posted on Facebook that went over well.
**The computer guy who created ‘Copy & Paste’ has died. I guess that now switches him to Control-Alt-Delete.
**Short Movie Plots- “Superman”- Undocumented immigrant saves America.
Someone’s knockin’ at the door-
Back during the past Christmas holiday season we saw many news stories of how Ring doorbell cameras recorded porch pirates stealing boxes that were delivered to homes. It made me think of how if only those video doorbells were around back in 1994 we’d have definitive proof of who killed O.J. Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman. (although I think most of believe O.J. was the knife wielding culprit)
Needy or not?
I’m on Twitter and it’s nice to get re-tweets and reactions from those who I follow and those who follow me. I’ve gotten replies from numerous local media personalities and even stars like Clint Black and Tanya Tucker.
However when someone likes your tweet the heart emoji pops up and it seems to be a bit forward and kind of needy. I wish the heart logo could be traded out for a simple check mark or a thumbs-up.
Turn the other cheek-
While not a huge fan of tattoos, (once a sign of individualistic rebellion, now a confirmation of lemming like complicity) I don’t rail too hard on them. It’s your body, do what you want. However, I draw the line (pardon the pun) with this trend of tats on the face. Sure, idiots like rappers Tekashi 6ix9ine and goofy Post Malone have wrecked their mugs with ink but now its fringe celebs like actress Amanda Bynes and Presley Gerber (son of model Cindy Crawford) who are going in for tattooed faces. Gerber had the word ‘misunderstood’ permanently stamped on his cheek. Presley, you WERE misunderstood but now we get it, you’re an attention starved over privileged idiot with too much time on your hands.
Dope on the Pope-
I’ve been enjoying the HBO’s series “The New Pope” which is a continuation of 2016’s “The Young Pope” which starred Jude Law. This season it’s John Malkovich playing the pontiff while Law’s character is in a hopeless coma, and it’s pretty wild watching. I mean for a fictional show about the inner workings of the Holy Vatican, I’m sure seeing plenty of naked women and sexual situations. Guest stars have included sexy siren Sharon Stone and there was even an episode where Goth shock rocker Marilyn Manson visits with the Pope. At least with Sharon, she remembered to have on underwear as opposed to her infamous scene in “Basic Instinct.”
Mc Millions, I’m lovin’ it!
Another fun watch on HBO is the six part documentary “Mc Millions.” This series uncovers the way the FBI busted the 1990’s cheating scandal happening with the Mc Donald’s ‘Monopoly’ games. The actual agents involved in the crime solving are shown describing all that went down in their operation. One of the agents, Doug Matthews, is really funny in re-telling many of the facets of the feds’ investigation. “Mc Millions” also brings us real life video and audio highlights of the scam and I look forward to every new installment of the story.
Hello not so nice kitty!
Finally, if you’re on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter you’ve probably seen memes featuring a pure white cat with a pretty snotty or angry look on his or puss. And there’s usually some wise-ass comment from the kitty. This feline cracks me up. For the record, I’ve owned two all white kitties (Prissy & Dudley) and both of them were as sweet as pie.
