The family was about to go for a bike ride when I realized I forgot my helmet. The garage door was closing and I grabbed the door to stop it from shutting thinking it would recognize an obstruction and reverse itself, only it didn’t which caused some bending on the panels. I tried to fix it myself to no avail and then called someone for a quote. The first repair guy said I needed to replace the top two panels and that would cost $350, but I’d be better off buying a whole new door for $550. I didn’t think anything needed replacing, so I sent him on his way and called someone else. The second guy added some braces and did a lot of adjustments in about two-and-a-half hours and it’s working as good as new for $175.
Now with the garage door fix, I’m out the money I was going to spend on a smoker.
Four-year-old DaughterGeeding asked what I was doing and I told her I was looking for something. She responds with, “Daddy, I can help, I’m an excellent good finder of things.” Right then and there my bad case of the Mondays went out the window.
Letterman was back from vacation and his Robin Williams piece wasn’t as I expected, but I guess for someone that really was his friend, there aren’t words. Dave basically talked about their days starting out in stand-up and showed a video clip of Williams’ appearances on the show.
I learned from Reddit that Vermont has been free from billboards for 45 years. It’s also my understanding that Maine, Hawaii, and Alaska are also billboard free. If this happened in Texas, how would strip clubs advertise?
I’m kinda looking forward to FXX airing every Simpsons ever starting on Thursday. If I can’t find anything to watch or need yet another reason to procrastinate, I have this for 12 straight days 24-hours a day.
I’m surprised no one had died from a heart attack or some kind of shock from these ALS ice bucket challenges.
Richard Marx was married to the girl in Dirty Dancing that was Johnny’s (Swayze’s) regular dance partner, Penny Johnson.
Once again the world’s highest paid model is Gisele Bundchen. In second place is Doutzen Kroes who/whom I’ve never heard of.
In a conversation with a friend the topic of Bob Hope introducing the All American college football team came up. My gosh I haven’t thought about that in a while and we were showing our age.
Johnny Manziel flipped off the opposing team last night which means he’s living up to that bad guy professional wrestler image I gave him and everyone is falling for it.
Don't remember Don Pardo on TPIR. It was Johnny Olsen forever, then Rod Roddy until the current guy. Pardo was one of those voices you immediately recognised. Of course he was the original and longest running announcer on SNL. But my oldest memories of him are from Jeopardy and plugging the Spiegel's catalogue, Chicago, Illinois 60609.
No smoker? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Am I wrong in thinking there's a bigger uproar in Manziel's gesture than Ray Rice?
