Running on Todd Power!

Miles-per-gallon in car sales have been largely amplified since the surge in gas prices this summer. Ever wonder how many mile-per-gallon you get? Not your car...you!  I found an online quiz that estimates how far you would be able to walk on one gallon of liquid food before you pass out.
Here's my HUMAN miles-per-gallon...

Death-defying Russians

How to fix A/C units 16 floors up, Russian style!

Bonus for Wall Street?

What would happen if you did a really bad job at work?  REALLY bad... like you need a $700 Billion bailout?  You probably wouldn't have a job, let alone a bonus, right?  That's exactly what 2/3's of the workers on Wall Street are expecting.  A bonus. 

The average bonus for those on Wall Street?  $262,000!  Some bonuses are in the 7 figure range.  Seems a little crazy given the recent financial turmoil.  Maybe I just don't see it.  Do you see it?

School Lunch Lacking

If you did your learning at a public school, you probably hurled at some point in time after eating the mystery meat served at the school cafeteria.

Recently, two Louisiana parishes sampled were the only school districts out of the 20 surveyed in the U.S. that failed!  Caddo Parish was one of those surveyed that received an "F" for the lunch served to its pupils.   According to the survey, it was mainly because Caddo schools didn't meet the standards on fat content, food choice, and lack of food group balance.

A couple of weeks ago I ate a tray lunch with my son Trale at his school.   The boneless chicken wings were a little dry, but it wasn't so bad.   It had great veggies, fruit, and milk too.

When I was in school, I remember the brocoli was brown and my favorite day was pizza day.   I always got strange looks when I ate the salisbury steak.

What was your favorite food you -would not- eat at school?

Yes, it's real.  Enjoy!

David Hasselhoff will be one of the characters waiting to be whooped in this video game for PS3 coming soon.

Adios Spaghetti Brain

I have no idea why I remembered this or how it got stuck in my brain today. It's so old, and if you're not from Texas... you may not remember this anyway. It's Texas Governor Rick Perry saying some choice words to a reporter.  Enjoy this flash back!  It's funnier the more you play it.

Brad Paisley Arrested?

What did Brad do this time? Check it out!

Big congrats also to Brad Paisley who's going to be a pop again this spring!

Palin on Saturday Night Live

The REAL Sarah Palin showed up on Saturday Night Live tonight... Preliminary numbers for Sarah's appearance on "Saturday Night Live" are already in . . . and, as usual, she was a huge draw. Some reports estimate SNL averaged around 14 million viewers, including 17 million for the first half-hour.

The Sarah Palin Rap...Whoop Whoop!

Bag O Milk

Trale has been bugging me for a week about going to this book fair they are having at school.  Holli suggested that I go have lunch with him then go to the book fair.  What a great idea!  So I got to school, stood in line, and got my tray lunch.  It's looked tasty enough, but one thing was significantly different than when I went to school.

Remember when you went to school and you got a carton of milk or chocolate milk?  Ever had a bag of milk?

It was literally a plastic bag of milk.  I had to ask Trale, "how do you drink this?"  He said you poke it with the straw.  That sounded easy enough, but he had to show me how.  As you can see, you just poke the milk in the middle.  The boneless drummy sticks were pretty tasty with a BBQ sauce, vegetable medley, mashed potatoes, fruit and a slice of bread.

We got an ice cream from the snack bar and picked up a Pokemon book and reptile book at the school book fair.  It was nice to see how Trale spends his day at school.  He's such a cool dude.

Full Moon Freak Out

Is it me, or are people today a little more touchy and moody? The folks here at the radio station are acting strange. The wife is having out of body moments. I'm not quite myself either.

At lunch a co-worker says the full moon is making people go crazy! I said, "Reeeeaaallllly? Is it full moon? That explains everything!"

I checked. Full Moon is tonight at exactly 8:02pm.  Folk lore has it that full moons cause temporary insomnia and insanity.   Even though scientists say there is no strong evidence for effects on human behavior around the time of a full moon, ask a police department or hospital.  They'll tell you the lunitics come out on full moon.  I believe it!

So enjoy your night of lunacy, but please return to your normal state of sanity soon.  Thanks!
