Tom Selleck was shocked when Frank Sinatra appeared on Magnum, P.I. for free. Ol’ Blue Eyes was a big fan of the Hawaii-based crime show, he asked to be on it and Tom personally called him to ask what type of character he wanted to play. “My co-star, Larry Manetti, he was a big, big Frank fan and he said, ‘You gotta call Frank, he wants to do the show,’ and I said, ‘OK,’ and I knew Frank, but not like Larry. So I call Frank and I say, ‘Do you want to do our show?’ And he goes, ‘Yeah,’ and I say, ‘Well we’re going to have to write it for you, what do you want to do?’ He says, ‘I don’t know, just make sure I get to beat somebody up’.”

to make ends meet - and of those, 8 million earn more than $100,000 a year. The average American earns $58,260 a year. Respondents to a new survey, carried out by industry publication Pymnts.com and LendingClub, also reported trouble in paying their bills. Almost one in four - 24 percent - said they had issues paying their bills in December.
How is it possible that no one seems to know how to save money or prepare for crisis any more?
Shit - since I was a little kid I've always had a little side-stash of cash just because I knew I would have periods of time when I'd either be out of work or there'd be shit I wanted to buy. It's not like my Mother or Father instilled some kinda frugality gene in us or something, it's just something I figured out when I was in my early teens. Fuck - I've worked since I was nine years old - and still do.'

A person familiar with the Angels organization predicted that the year would now play out this way for Ohtani: The Angels will hold him for a few months to see if they can remain in contention. If they fail to do so, general manager Perry Minasian would have to seek permission from an unpredictable owner to solicit offers for him prior to the trade deadline. If Moreno allows it, the ask will be extremely high.
Martino also reported the Mets and New York Yankees are not expected to make a deal with the Angels before Ohtani hits the open market.
... I don't wanna sound like some kinda pussy or nothin', but it's been cold as shit here for the last three weeks, with a couple of days below freezing - weather so shitty that it killed every flowering plant in the state just about AND two of my friggin' palm trees. Anyway, if there is just one thing I don't miss about Jersey (and trust me, there's not much I do miss) it's shoveling snow and wearing four layers of clothes just to go to work. Thanks, anyway, but I'll pass on the cold shit, thank you.
But if it does happen, we're ready...
Americans now say that a lack of leadership from President Biden and the Congress is the country’s biggest problem outpacing inflation, the immigration crisis and the state of the economy, according to a poll released on Monday.

Can you imagine being related to - or for that matter even just knowing - someone as petty as these motherfuckers in New York that just will not let this guy alone?
They are so afraid of him and what he's capable of doing they gnaw away at his ankles hoping to topple him, but I believe the guys pretty much bullet-proof.
This Stormy Daniels shit was done and dusted four years ago. The pettiness of these politicians is unbelievable - to me at least.
And they don't see it as a problem...

"Hey, Honey - Let's go down to the Carribbean and stand behind some jets!" How friggin' stupid is this?
Dawg: "I suppose I ought to go check on him."
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I want to know about the Stormy Daniels thing is did she report the $130K on her income taxes.
The lady in that jetwash video from St Maarten died unfortunately when she hit her head on the second cement retaining wall. We tried that stand behind the jet thing once (ONCE) via sitting down on the second cement retaining wall when a jet took off. Both of us were blown forty feet down the beach into the ocean. Jets are not something go be messed with.
ReplyDeleteNow the landings on the other hand are way cool and simply something you have to experience in person to believe. Nothing quite prepares you for a jet bearing down on you so close you can seemingly reach up and touch the jet's wheels above you as it lands. Even the many pictures available on the internet of those jets landing at St. Maarten's airport do not do it justice. Must be experienced in person to be believed. I look at a few of our vacation photos showing us standing under those landing jets and I still have trouble believing it was real. Definitely a bucket list item, although I am told that 747s no longer land there. Pity. Those were amazing to watch land.
The people with the $100,000 income, they're doing it wrong.
