Special Quote of the Day from Joan Crawford

Today, in honor of Mother's Day, we are posting two quotes from Joan Crawford who was depicted by Faye Dunaway in the 1981 'classic,' "Mommie Dearest" on our two respective blogs. This is actually an annual tradition on this blog.

"Mommie Dearest" will be playing at Movieland @ Blvd. Square in Richmond, VA., this evening. We expect they will not be the only ones shwoing the film.

Here is the first of two quips from Crawford:

"I think the most important thing a woman can have-next to talent, of course, is her hairdresser."

For the other Crawford quote go to 'Politics, Culture and Other Wastes of Time" which you can access through our links.

I Have Joined e-harmony.......

After telling people that I would sooner join a cult for several years, I have decided to join e-harmony.

My first match was with a military officer in Fort Bragg, NC.

Oh, I suppose I should perhaps point out that the military officer is a woman. But, if they had hooked up with a male military officer, I suppose I could have demanded a refund.

Remembering the American Newspaper.....The Horoscope

Today, we are starting a mock tribute to the newspaper industry, which is definitely looking like it will collapse like the Collosus of Rhodes.

Since I am a former newspaper reporter, I thought I would start to showcase some of the exemplerary parts of the paper that we have all taken for granted for a very long time.

We start with the horoscope, which I have borrowed from Sunday's "Washington Post."

Here is what was listed for my sign Pisces:

"Your psychic pwers are strong now. Speak your prophecy aloud about what will happen next in your life. Your vision begins to fullfill itself in the moment the words leave your mouth."

I want to go out with Uma Thurman. Hmm....I'm not sure if that will really work!

NOTE: We have a related link on our sister blog "Poltics, Culture and Other Wastes of Time."

This is Exam Week!

MUHAHAHAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

It's so nice to be a teacher this time of the year............

Quote of the Week- Rodney Dangerfield

I am hoping to throw a house party that will include a triple-header of Rodney Dangerfield films this weekend..........if everything goes according to plan!

In honor of the occasion, we are quoting the late comic who apparently failed to get respect here with this quip:

"I have good-looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheated on me."

Silly Photo to Fill Space

There was a very negative development in my personal life over the weekend, hence we are posting an image of an ex-girlfriend voodoo doll here. If these things actually worked, I might be tempted to spend $24.95 on one.........and, I imagine the person reading this has contemplated similar things at one time or another as well!

Special Quote of the Week by Jerry Falwell

Since yesterday was both May Day, a day attributed to socialism around the world, and the National Day of Prayer, we thought we'd quote Ernesto "Che" Guevara (1928-1967) and the Rev. Jerry Falwell (1933-2007) on our two respective blogs.

I am neither a Christian or a socialist, so this should be fun!

We'll quote the Ayatollah of Lynchburg, Va., here (well, ok maybe he wasn't quite that bad, but close!).

However one feels about the man preached hate and intolerance as well as homophobia towards Tinky the Teletubby from the pulpit of Thomas Road Baptist Church, he did have a good knack with words.

Here are two examples of that.......and look what this loving Christian said about his fellow tv evangelist Billy Graham (yes, I couldn't believe it either!):

Quote One_ "Grown men should not be having sex with prostitutes unless they are married to them."

Quote Two_ "Billy Graham is the chief servant of Satan in America."

As the old cliche goes, with 'friends' like these, who needs enemies!
