I thought of my fellow Blues Brothers fans when I read in the paper today about how Dan Aykroyd was in Houston for a new opening of House of Blues in downtown.

Here's the article: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ent/5858840.html

And I heard he threw out the first pitch at the Astros game yesterday! It was actually a whole Blues Brothers theme for the game that night, as people were supposed to come dressed in the famous attire. I don't know if there was a costume contest, or what it was, but I did get to see two guys dressed up on camera as I watched the game.

Then our announcers did a trivia question, asking what the name of the place was where Jake and Elwood performed the Rawhide theme. One of them reminded listeners that they had both country and western. haha I was yelling at the TV, "Bob's Country Bunker!!"

Thanks, SB! That domain should be working as well, so I had the web host look into it and it should be back shortly...

I was recently reminded of an old friend who worked for a company making wood pallets... it was called P&S Pallets. Say that a few times quickly pretending to answer the phone, as they did.

The Mega Millions lottery has slowly built up a nice little jackpot. Tuesday's drawing will be $43 million.

You gotta be in it to win it.

Hey SC, what would you do if you won?

I thought it was funny because of the meaning behind oranges in the godfather

well, I finally start work again tomorrow. Become a decent member of society!!

About time

What will you be doing.

You ever wonder when your first murder will be?

Not recently... but all of a sudden I wuZ thinking of Indiana! l)

Whew, good thing my name isn't Indiana then...

I'm a security guard!!!

Normally if you have a criminal record, they wont employ you, But I know one of the guys that works in the management office and he did a favor for my Mum and got me the job.

First day was easy. I just had to sit in a car for 5 hours watching a building site as kids had been breaking in and leaving graffiti and stealing bricks, coil etc. Then I got to stretch my legs and walk around an empty car park, whistling and doing the whole cliche' security thing.

I gotta go to work at 2 am later on though. It's a rotating roster.

Ahh, I see. They hired you as security so you wouldn't be out on the streets to steal from them.

It was four years ago today that Marlon Brando died.

Four years already??

Unbelievable. And NINE YEARS for Puzo??? WTF? I thought I just met him.

Rest in Peace Marlon

Rest in Peace Mario

Show some respect, huh? We do NOT wish people DEAD. This is real life, not fantasy. I spoke with Winegardner myself on the phone, and he has more to add than some people here, trust me.

Thank you, pet

you are welcome master

That might sound weird to some, but they just wouldn't understand anyway...

true

Shall I throw the switch master

[/igor impression]

Oh, so this relationship is the Gene Wilder version?

I guess it's just my problem that no one else will pay for me...

lol, I bought you

...and only you... which is fine, but... still...

I'll be in the bing

reprise the "AND ONLY YOU"...

...actually gotta get up early tomorrow... sorry...

it's ok

As your Master, I say don't be sad!
