Today is Stupid Guy Thing Day

a day for women to make a list of stupid guy things and pass it on. 

Hey – there are stupid ‘girl-things’ too. I mean, you need a ‘wing-man’ to hit the john. Hello??!??

It’s also Soap Microphone Day, a day to shower while singing into the soap.

it must be some kind of opera.

101 number one song of the day the first for the artist, his label, and a pair of famous songwriters. It was recorded by a man more famous for his trumpet but it was his singing voice that put him on top.  It all began after CBS decided to give him his own TV special. He wanted his wife to appear with him so it was decided he’d put down the horn and sing her a song. 50 different songs were submitted for consideration and the one that was chosen was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The morning after the show, thousands of viewers telephoned and asked where they could get the record. As a result, a single was released the following day and on June 22, 1968 it was the number one song in America for Herb Alpert  (This Guy’s in Love with You)

We’re glad that Las Cruces is close to solving the stink at the Jacob A. Hands Wastewater Plant.  The problem, evidently, is that sewage is heaped on compost piles in order to enhance the process.  An engineering firm was hired to figure out that sewage smells.  Wow, wished they’d hired us to figure that out.

Compost dries in one of the shallow pits Friday at the city wastewater treatment facility.

And speaking of stinkers…there’s a new Forbes magazine survey out…the most hated athletes in the country. Remaining in the top spot of our most despised athletes…Michael Vick. He’s followed by Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, Tiger Woods and Ben Roethlisberger. Other hated athletes in the top ten included Allen Iverson, Terrell Owens and Alex Rodriguez.

We apologize for Mr. Vick’s reaction to the news.  Apparently, he didn’t take it well.

Cash-strapped California is looking at digital license plates as a way to make money. When the vehicle is moving – the plate shows a regular license number. But when the car is stopped in traffic – the plate would show a commercial for the people behind you in traffic. The state would sell ad space on their plates.   Yeah – don’t text and drive…that’s dangerous. But you can watch the commercial on the license plate in front of you…

We had that story last week about the guy in North Carolina that said he came face to face with Big Foot. Today psychologists are getting in on the act – explaining why we believe in mythical creatures like Big Foot. They say every culture has some version of a monster-like creature that is hard to see or catch. The psychologists say the stories persist because we need them as metaphors for the challenges we face in life.  -Of course…when he’s ripping your arms off and beating you over the head with them…just keep telling yourself…’he’s only a metaphor…he’s only a metaphor’…
