Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

True story - Bill Lear, the founder of Lear Jet Corporation named his daughter Shanda. Yup Shanda Lear... This puts the BP oil disaster into perspective... In the 1995 MLB draft the Red Sox took Andy Yount with the 15th pick while Roy Halladay went 2 picks later to the Blue Jays. Talk about wanting a do-over... Lyndon Baines Spongebob... Whatever happened to Madame Esperanza Brooks? She was the cheerleader coach by day who ran an escort service by night who was arrested in Las Vegas a couple of summers ago. She claimed that Bill Clinton and Shaq were two of her clients. You would think that story would have had more legs (no pun intended)... Heh heh - the classic Squirrel catapult... Coors must aim their advertising at stupid people. Not sure about you but I can tell when my beer is cold all by myself. I don't need "windows" or blue mountains to do it for me... This is odd. Tampa Bay must really hold a grudge... Speaking of commercials - Aciphex is a product whose name is pronounced "ass-effects" and whose possible side-effects include gas, infection, and constipation. That just cracks me up... In Reagan's first term there was only one PC in the White House and it was used as a word processor. My how times have changed... Awesome Big Baby GIF,,,
