LOSS OF AN ICON
On January 17th we lost an icon...
Allan Melvin. Mr. Melvin was 74 years young.
Mr. Melvin was the voice of Magilla Gorilla, but was best known in American Pop Culture as
SAM the BUTCHER on the Brady Bunch!
Who amongst us didn't love the coupling of Sam and Alice?
He gave her the best meat, the best deals and eventually in made-for-tv movies, he gave her HIS meat as Sam and Alice had finally married. Awwwww!
The next time you eat meat, go bowling or watch the Brady Bunch (or My Fair Brady on VH1!) look up in the sky and sing the Magilla Gorilla theme song...
Magilla Gorilla and all of his friends say so long, so long, so lonnnnnng...to Allan Melvin.
Until next time...

Gimme a beak!
~Ok, I am sitting here laughing my ass off. Eddie Murphy got married, what like 2 weeks ago and it is over already!! WTH! Marriage is a sacred institution. Maybe Mr. Murphy needs a different kind of institution! Ya know, the kind with padded walls and Brit-Brit in the next room!!! Gimme a break!
~Speaking of Brit-Brit - buying home pregnancy tests. NOOOOOOOooooooooo, please, not another Spears spawn! Gimme a break!
~ EXTRA, EXTRA - Simon Cowell DOES have a heart! A little one, but he has one!
~OJ is in jail! OJ is in jail! OJ is in jail! Sorry, I just like saying that!! OJ is in jail! I give KUDOS and APPLAUSE to the Judge in Vegas that had him locked up. AND that she had the conviction to tell him he is arrogant and ignorant! APPLAUSE APPLAUSE.
~So, this guy is suing Kroger's because HE was a microwave popcorn addict and has a lung disease linked to the artificial butter in the popcorn. WTF????? Did Kroger's kidnap him everyday and force him to buy it and then shove it down his throat???? There is way too much litigation in this country. People, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS! This isn't Boston Legal and there isn't really an Alan Shore or Denny Crane, Denny Crane. OY! Gimme a break!
~ Hmmmm, I got pretty fat again. Maybe I can sue the grocery store for allowing me to buy the crap I bought! Oh, maybe if they stopped me, I would be thinner again but then I could SUE them for not allowing me to buy what I WANTED!! Gimme a break.
~ I am so disgusted about the Marine that raped another Marine - then allegedly killed her before she could testify. Why wasn't she protected better?? And why wasn't he detained?? They found his truck but not him. Please give some justice to this poor young woman and her family.
~Should it matter what the religion of our next president is?
~If we didn't have olive branches to extend, there would never have been olives and no olive oil.
So, if ya need to...extend an olive branch. It'll make ya feel better and keep us all in olive oil! Oh, and if ya do extend an olive branch, really mean it. Don't just do it - be it.
~ Why won't my new profile picture load??????? I have tried a dozen times. Gimme a break - please!!
~I like Al Gore. I really do. But, how does this bitter cold we are expecting explain Global Warming??? I feel like I am global freezing - - and it isn't even as cold as it is gonna get by the weekend! Gimme a break!
~What should I make for dinner?
Ok, now I am pushing it and grasping for somthing to say!
I guess I am done for now. My brain is cold and hungry!!
(and special {{{hugs}}} and ♥'s to Brian if ya stop in ;)
Until next time...

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME!
In the immortal words of the rock band Boston...
It’s been such a long time!
I haven’t updated in ages, so since I am laying in bed at 3 am and I can’t sleep, I figured why not blog! Doesn’t everyone do that?? LOL
I haven’t blogged cuz I ain’t got nuttin to talk about! But as you all know about me, I can ramble so I guess I will ramble!
Someone asked me today what I was thinking about lately so I rambled off some random thoughts to him. I guess I will share those. Aren’t you lucky!!!
~ I was watching the New Hampshire Primary and I don’t understand how the media is allowed to spin so much. I mean, they were calling winners and only 17% of the precincts had been counted. What’s up with that?
~ Related to that, don’t ALL candidates have the right to equal air time? Isn’t it a law? So then how in tarnation can ABC un-invite Dennis Kucinich? Even if he didn’t have a shot in hell at winning the Dem. Nomination, he is STILL a candidate. He is entitled to be heard. In a free and democratic society, we are supposed to be able to hear what all the candidates say so we can make educated choices when we enter the voting booth. So there!!
~ And speaking of that, no, I haven’t decided yet who I am voting for, but I HAVE decided who I am NOT voting for! Have you decided?
~ Are you all getting sick of the writer’s strike as I am? I do agree with some of their points, BUT, they are putting the mid-level and lower level people out of work. The people that were not making a couple hundred thousands a year like the writers, but the $10 an hour employee that lives paycheck to paycheck. Studios and writers - C’mon and get this settled already. Besides, I miss my favorite shows already! And it IS all about me!!
~ When is Britney gonna get some help???????
~ YAY! American Idol starts on Tuesday! YIPPEEEEE!
~ The Jake is not the Jake anymore. It is the Progressive Stadium. So here’s my question...
Progressive laid off a ton of people. But now they have millions of dollars to spend on buying the naming rights of the stadium. Hmmmm, how about re-hiring the people you laid off. Or if ya got extra cash laying around, feed the hungry, help the schools, house the homeless. OH, here’s a novel idea - -lower your rates! I know, now they will have all that advertising everytime the Indians have televised home games. But I still don’t like it. I liked to go to the Jake. Now I have to go to the Prog? Sounds icky!!
~ Congrats to Nicole Richie and Xtina Aguilara on the birth of their daughter and son respectively. Ya know they read here regularly!! It is kinda poetic justice that wild child Nicole had a daughter! Payback is a bitch!
I guess that I have fulfilled my duties as a blog rambler!
Cher, if ya stop in, I miss ya and I hope your dad is doing better.
Sara, do you still read here?
Sandie, woof woof to Luc and Remy! And Ippuni, too!!
Carol, I hear there is some tripe on sale at the market! Bwahahahaha!!
Sharon, HI! Hope to see you and your shadow soon!!
Vall P, thanks for reading from half way around the world from here!!
Alright, time for me to shut up!!
Until next time...
