Work is getting worked, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

How rough is it?
This economy is rough, Lindsay Lohan dumped her girlfriend, Samantha Ronson, and switched back to dating guys just to save money on batteries.

Same thing
Tennis star Andy Roddick married swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker, they met through his agent. It’s an interesting relationship, every chance he gets, Roddick tries to do to Brooklyn what his agent does to him.

It don’t work that way
Long time Republican Senator Arlen Spector, switched and is now a democrat. That’s crazy, you just can’t switch what you are just like that, why ask all the gay guys who married Liza Minelli.

So mean
Due to pressure from the meat industry, the World Health Organization is changing the name of Swine Flu to Influenza A. That’s nicer than their first suggestion: the Susan Boyle Flu.

A lot of switching is all I am saying
The economy is rough, to save money, today five Republicans switched to democrat and then switched to Geico to save money on their car insurance.

Too much
New Yorkers are still furious about Air Force One buzzing the Statue of Liberty and downtown Manhattan. I didn’t think it was a big deal until Air Force One flew into the Majestic Theater to see Phantom of the Opera.

Not good
Long time Republican Senator Arlen Spector, switched and is now a democrat. I don’t want to say the Republicans are in trouble, but today three anonymous Republican politicians asked to be traded to the Detroit Lions.

Since you asked:

Since when did every other woman in the US suddenly decide to talk like a gay guy with a valley girl accent?

“Sssssuuzaaaanae, thisssss issss Ssssssarahljackline, I am like going to be like sssssssssssoooo late for our Pilatesssss classssss it isssssn’t funnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.”

Shocker about Danny Gans. Did not know or ever see the guy in person, but I think I remembered hearing he was a health nut. Also just saw him in "Bull Durham." He was a young buffed ball player. Not a great actor, but . . .

He's a comedy legend for going from failing stand up act to making multi, multi millions in Vegas after telling psycho comedy club owners and egomaniac club managers to go F themselves.

OK, just read his Wikipedia and Danny Gans used to be a pro baseball player. He is often called the richest and most famous comedian/performer you have never heard of. He just switched casinos and had the world's biggest marquee. Wonder if we will hear rumors of mafia involvement and such.

Maybe this is a Me Getting Older thing, but I am really beginning to get irritated by people, young or old, who, when asked to list their favorite bands, only offer bands that nobody has ever heard of. Really? The Wah Dung Jugos are your favorite band? If they are that great shouldn't people besides you have heard even one of their songs?

It's what I call the Hootie and the Blowfish syndrome in reverse. HATBF were a good band with catchy tunes. What's not to like? But because their songs were upbeat and popular, they became an easy target for the uber hip "I don't like anything that is popular because I am so complicated and artsy" crowd.

Look ultra hip folks, I am sorry nobody liked you in high school so you decided anyone and anything popular is your sworn enemy, but Hootie and the Blowfish were not the reason you were eating a Filet O' Fish sandwich and watching "Flintstone" reruns on your prom night.
