CATAGORIES: WEEK IN REVIEW — FloridaBill @ 8:00 am

File under Week 29 of 2008

That’s just gotta hurt in ways I can’t fathom.

Olive Riley passed away this week. She was the world’s oldest blogger (very much worth the read if the server isn’t crashing). RIP Olive. May we all be as fortunate to have lived so well.

I did not understand this headline and thought it oxymoronic. Then I read the story. How could I not click on this headline. You’ve got to be kidding me with this one. It was clearly designed to grab attention. As if a live rat would have been any better, comes this headline out of the great state of Wisconsin. You gotta use feral rats lady, not nice clean lab rats. I also hear that they taste like chicken and are good with Chianti. For golfers, this headline was unexpected, but pleasant.

The American League won the All Star Game again this year meaning that the White Sox will have home field advantage against the Cubs in the World Series. Yes, I am serious about this prediction.

I thought this was kind of scary. Bloggers being censored is bad news. Here is more of the same from Google who “quarantined” several blogs that are anti-Obama. Wow. I guess we know how they will vote in November.

Yarbz finally got rid of his Jeep in favor of a new Volksvagon GTI. Congrats! It is nice. I am jealous. Fast and economical and sharp looking and with eighteen inch wheels!

From the I Hate It When That Happens files comes this story about a drunk 22 year old who fell into a bear enclosure and was ripped apart. OMG.

I loved this story about a cancer survivor whose name will soon be Courtney Courtney.

Nominees for Fucktard of the Week (kind of a slow week for Fucktardary for once):
Jon Schillaci. The death penalty would be too lenient.
77-year-old Helen Golay and 75-year-old Olga Rutterschmidt. Homeless men were “sacrificed at their altar of greed”.
Amber Brewington, 21. Postpartum depression is no excuse.

Shark jump. Wow.

The new Batman movie, The Dark Knight opens today. I want to see it. My son and his friends went to the midnight showing last night.

GNR will allegedly have a song from the mythical album “Chinese Democracy” on the new Rock Band game. Yeah. Right. I will believe it when I hear it.

Happy healthy weekends to all.
