Fun Fact Friday…

cat-hat-stamp1I know most of you kids probably never go to the Post Office.  Instead, you are savvy and do everything via the Internet. 

Congratulations! 

But for me, my line of work, and my obsession with standing in long lines, I find myself there quite often.  Which is why I particularly enjoyed this little tidbit that ran in the December ’08 issue of Harper’s Magazine, in the “Harper’s Index” section (a monthly list of random but interesting statistics):

“Number of U.S. postage stamps printed in June whose packaging mistakenly listed a phone-sex number: 4 million.  Telephone number that was printed in place of 1-800-STAMP-24 (the number for reordering): 1-800-TRAMP-24

Hahahaha, that’s so great…ok, on that note, have a great weekend everybody!

Who knew Madonna was so…demanding & obsessive?!

madonnaThere was a time when I would have given anything to be adopted by Madonna.  I thought she was as cool as cool could get.  However…upon hearing recent reports of how much she deprives her kids of the good stuff I’m glad I didn’t hitch-hike to NYC at the age of 11 and try to find her/convince her to take me in.  I would have starved to death—in more ways than one.  

Yesterday, Britain’s Daily Mail (so take this with a grain of salt), reported that Guy Ritchie’s recent reunion with sons Rocco and David came with strict stipulations

YIKES! Obsess much, Mama Madonna??  I know this is probably a rough time for everyone involved, but c’mon!  For someone who was all about breaking the rules, rebelling and doing her own thing she’s become quite hypocritical, don’t ya think?  Well, she obviously doesn’t scare Guy too much, because he broke the “no photographs” rule when he greeted the boys at the airport:

Anyway, Madonna, if you happen to read this, as I know you check THE BLOG hourly, I’m sorry, I still love your music, but no matter how much you beg, I will simply not allow you to adopt me now…I have tasted Kabbalah water and let’s just say it’s no Poland Spring.

Need some holiday gift giving ideas? How about a Boyfriend Arm Pillow…OR a Carnivorous Creations Garden

presentsWith the holidays just inches away, thought I would be helpful and provide an excellent source for “creative” gift ideas: www.findgift.com.  Find that special gift for the friend/family member who has everything–especially a sense of humor.  For instance: the USB Humping Dog, or the Farting Gnome.  They also have some normal/non-offensive gifts too, but who needs those when a “chicks dig you” cereal bowl exists?

So, I’ve got that going for me…which is nice

bill-murrayEvery now and then I like to peruse through my impressive DVD collection and dust off one of the classics.  Last night’s pick: Caddyshack.  Maybe it was something in my wine, or perhaps it was astrological, or maybe it just one of those things, but for some reason Caddyshack seemed especially funny last night.  I feel like spreading some love today so below is one particularly famous scene that had me cracking up for hours. 

Bill Murray is truly one of a kind.
