Go Ahead, Be Late for Something
Well, the Labor Day picnic this year was really wild. Somebody put real sugar in the Kool-Aid.
In tonight's TV movie, Billy Bob Thornton and Park Overall star in "The Thang," about a small southern town terrorized by an evil creature that has the body of an alligator and the head of a social worker.
September 5th Now & Then
Sam Houston was elected President of Texas on this date in 1836. Sam had come to Texas after his wife walked out on him in Tennessee. He led the Texas Army to defeat Mexico at San Jacinto. If Sam's marriage had worked, today George W. Bush might be wearing a sombrero.
On this date in 1776 the U.S. Navy adopted its first standardized uniforms. Like modern military uniforms, the first Navy clothes came in two sizes -- too large and too small.
Today is Be Late For Something Day, sponsored by the Procrastinators Club of America. A few good things to be late for:
* A benefit autopsy. Especially your own.
* A free class in advanced skinhead taming.
* An illegal vasectomy.
* America Day at Six Flags Over Iraq.
* Candlelight dinner for two with a waterbed test pilot.
* A meeting of the Jerry Springer Fan Club.
Arthur C. Nielsen was born on this day in 1897. Nielsen was the founder of the Nielsen rating system for television, which came as no surprise to his mother. When Arthur was born, the first thing he did was count how many people watched the birth compared to the appendectomy in the next room.
Love & Learn
Today's Lifestyle: Children - Hard to overestimate value of proper manners.
Today's Lifestyle: Contract Drives Home Rules of the Road - Teens should agree to the rules of the road before they start driving the family car.
Lifewire - With old age comes more risk of dehydration.
Video Game Reviews - "Tekken" kicks its way onto PSP, and it's stellar. And check out "Monster House."
Shallow Thoughts
I love baseball. It's the thing more American than high cholesterol.
The only exercise device I ever use is my Clapper.
The more the President talks about the war on terror, I'm getting fearophobia -- the fear of fear itself.
