LIZA MANELLI?! YES

Apparently Liza Manelli suffered a head injury the other day. Shame nobody can notice. The prevailing word on the street is that the head trauma was in-utero. For all you non-wordsy types: Judy Garland probably threw herself down the stairs at the thought of giving birth to Liza Manelli. Supposedly she rolled over and "fell" out of bed. Obviously somebody woke up, looked over and decided she wasn't even worth the trouble of gnawing their arm off. It is this "journalist's" opinion that she was kicked out of bed, and possibly even "bricked". Anywho for the actual particulars check out the title link. It will tell you all you never gave a damn to know.

Lunch Quotes

What is it about Lunch that brings out the finest quotes from an otherwise mundane day? Is it the Maxwell House French Roast that someone else made? Or, is it the $10 Hamburger that was worth the Depression Era inflation? Must be the Beef. Anywho here are some amazing quotes:

"You wanna go to Petaluma's and get one of those fag/mini pizzas?"
The Old Man

"Spending Money on women is nothing new, and by the time you are finished
you're so ugly...."
A-Non-Amos

"Ugly? Christ you spend money on women even when you are dead...Its called
Life Insurance"
The Hoss

My first efforts

I'm not a pig, I know nothing of SolarPCs, and I don't watch CNBC. I'm just posting here because I can.

Oh, and I just graduated college.

I am a PIG, and I am PROUD

There is no denying it; I am a pig. I fell asleep, then woke up. (Deep stuff, huh) Regardless of that, I woke up hungry and had to feed myself. I stumbled to the kitchen where the only snack was a bag of Chips A-Hoy or such. I sized up the opponent, then tore into it, finding its tasty cookie innards. Much to my sadness, the cookies were hard even by Chips A-Hoy standards. My resolve was weakened, and I retreated. In my semi-catatonic state I had a flashback to PBS. In seconds the cookie bag exploded into a crumbs, shreds, and chips with chants of "ME LOVE COOKIE!!!!!" echoing off the walls. Cookie Monster = 1 , Sub-Standard Cookie = 0

Solar PC's You say?

Shamelessly ripped from the opinion "presses" of MSNBC.com
( I feel no guilt Mr. Gates).

"If SolarPC's were the standard PC in the US every year it would result in the saving of more than 138 million barrels of imported oil, prevent 25 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions and landfills would have a reduction of more than 100 tons of e-waste!" How many SUVs does that equal? P.S. e-waste??

A Solar PC you say? how excellent! How sensitive! I would love one...except it took my nice laptop 1.5 hours to charge up ( I had a big battery), with 120 volt, 60 hertz alternating current Electricity. Basically the same socket that powers your TV, VCR etc. Now, I will admit in my youth I was an idiot, and I stuck my friend's hand into the socket, and well he didn't turn out so well. So my question is: Have you ever seen a solar anything that packs the same punch as the wall socket? I did see a solar car do 55mph, but the solar cell cost more than most houses. The point being, this is a good idea; I just dont want to have to carry a beach umbrella sized solar panel around my house or around to town to find good sunlight so I can play Lemmings un-interrupted.

Mornings with CNBC

I woke up this morning in Quincy, Mass. I do not remember how or why. However, I woke up to CNBC. The talking financial heads were discussing the headlines for the morning: the importance of Wal-Mart, Amazon.com's incredible sales feat and of course 22,500 dead in Asia. The topic of Insurance naturally came up. These $$$$ gurus said the US insurance industry shouldn't be affected really by this unmitigated disaster. The line used was "low exposure." Translation: Too Poor to afford food, much less insurance. Thank you Squawk Box for adding humor to my morning coffee.
