Yahoo! News – Funk Singer Rick James Dies in Los Angeles … Darkness!!

Not everyone feels the way about Sandals & Socks that my wife does. I’m not allowed to wear htem at all. Nor am I allowed to wear overalls.

Now this is a smart ad. You can thank Jackson for this one.

Wow is that ever nie. Markus Naslund took the time out to send me a birthday greeting (LOL! Right!). I’m on the Canucks’ mailing list and get everything they send out. Here’s the text of the letter:

Hi Mike,

My teammates and I would like to wish you a very Happy Birthday!

Wow! 10% off? You shouldn’t have. I’m blushing. Tee hee!

Kind of a cool looking car, but not what I expected at all. The more I look at it the more I like it.

I’m halfway to 70 today. Yes, the big 35. *sigh* Happy birthday to me. I share a birthday with Neil Armstrong, astronaut, Loni Anderson, actress, Patrick Ewing, basketball player and strangely enough (and not at all surpising in the slightest for some odd reason) I share my day with The Elephant Man, Joseph Merrick.

A lot of things have happened on August 5th throughout the years.

For example:

In 1914 in Cleveland, Ohio, the first electric traffic light is installed. In 1962 Marilyn Monroe, actress was found dead.

Check out the caption underneath this Yahoo! Sports Photos. In case they repair their little error you can look at a screenshot that I took of the photo I like to call:

Cat in the Kettle flash movie… I’ve seen it before but it’s still funny.

Google Search: visa 4356000000000000..435699999999 9999 and some of the returns you get are actual valid credit card numbers! Holy crapola. That can’t be good. I feel sick to my stomach. It couldn’t be this easy to thieve from people could it? Is my number out there somewhere waiting for a 15 year old with a rubber fetish to Google it? I sure hope not.
