Dire Straits

could be THURSDAY, I think

Today is the Feast of St. Paul’s Shipwreck in Malta – a public holiday. The is the first major feast day of the year and it commemorates when St. Paul was shipwrecked on Malta in 60AD.

The real monsters are hidden among us, members of the community. Even your own family can cause unspeakable psychological damage. Sleep well now.

Here’s another great eighties music video – I really like this one.

Bada Bing!

Some people accuse me of making words up.Ironicalistically, I know English better than they do.

His vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

What do you get, when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The Lego store has re-opened! People are lined up for blocks.

My neighbor found out that her dog (a Schnauzer) could hardly hear, so she took it to the veterinarian. The vet found that the problem was hair in the dog’s ears. He cleaned both ears, and the dog could then hear fine. The vet then proceeded to tell the lady that, if she wanted to keep this from recurring, she should go to the store and get some “Nair” hair remover and rub it in the dog’s ears once a month. The lady went to the store and bought some “Nair” hair remover.  At the register, the pharmacist told her, “If you’re going to use this under your arms, don’t use deodorant for a few days.”The lady said, “I’m not using it under my arms.”The pharmacist said, “If you’re using it on your legs, don’t shave for a couple of days.”The lady replied, “I’m not using it on my legs either.  If you must know, I’m using it on my Schnauzer.”The pharmacist says, “Well, stay off your bicycle for about a week.”

On this day in 1985, Dire Straits started an eight week run at number one album with Brothers in Arms. Here they are with what I believe is their best song.
