- I recently watched a fascinating special of the sinking of the Bismarck. What I didn’t know, that after its sinking, per maritime tradition, the British started to rescue those whose ship they just sunk. (Man, that’s a lot of commas in that last sentence.) I would have thought the brutality of war would have meant leaving them at sea or killing them.
- Those WWII battleships with the big cannons have always fascinated me. There’s something about those big majestic looking guns. Maybe I just really fell for them because I watched a lot of Starblazers as a kid and always drew pictures of the Yamato.
- For you fellow Mad Men fans, the cast will be on Inside the Actors Studio on May 14.
- Speaking of Mad Men, here are a few thoughts from the latest episode:
- I made reference a few times that I think there are signs that Pete Campbell will kill himself. In the last episode on the train, he goes out of his way to say that his work provides life insurance and after two years covers suicide. But this show is too good at doing anything obvious, so my guess is that Peter gets kills and it looks like a suicide, perhaps by a jealous husband.
- I wonder how many times Beth has pulled that “I locked my keys in the car” scenario.
- There has to be some sort of symbolism of Don looking down that empty elevator shaft I’m not picking up, but maybe it’s some sort of homage to LA Law.

- There’s a cool initiative in London to encourage people to run home from the office, and they even do things to help you get your items home.
- Two older woman who participated at the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders auditions.
- LOST may not be over
- A great story on how a 61-year-old farmer won a 544 mile endurance race
Jesus Christ cheering up Paul McCartney
“This scenario from my imagination shows Jesus visiting a clinically depressed Paul McCartney. He is sitting on Paul’s right side and slides a Lamb chop Puppet in to Paul’s peripheral field of vision. Paul hasn’t bothered to get out of his robe.”
“His white socks dangle off the ends of his toes. He is depressed and disheveled. On the wall behind him is the cause of his plight… Yoko… (some say she broke up the band …).”
“Jesus likes Paul, so he hired an angel to tidy up his apartment… Jesus’ expression is slightly mischievous. He knows that Paul doesn’t want to communicate directly- so he moves the puppet’s little lambswool mouth and uses a silly falsetto voice in an attempt to cheer Paul up.”

- One of the most annoying anchors in DFW history, Jane McGarry, was arrested over the weekend for DWI. It’s kinda interesting how KXAS wasn’t the first to come out about this, and how WFAA was the first to report on it. She looked pretty hammered in her mugshot, refused to take a breathalyzer test, and arrest report states she failed the “walk and turn,” the “one-leg stand” and the alphabet.
- What’s the best way to prepare a kiwi? I’m referring to the fruit, not the bird. Is it easier to user a potato cutter, or to cut off the ends and use a spoon to edge out the skin? Any suggestions?
- GirlGeeding was carrying around WifeGeeding’s iPad and dropped it. From a fall of almost one foot to our lament floors, the damage to the screen was pretty substantial, but I found a guy to replace the glass for $135.
- The Canadian Paralympics Committee created a great poster.
- Alex Trebek may retire soon, or within two years. He should have retired when he shaved off the mustache.
- I think former Gov Schwarzenegger offered some great advice to his fellow Republicans.

- Eli Manning was better than I thought he would have been on SNL.
- I thought it was pretty classy of the NY Mets to play homage to a New York icon, Beastie Boys co-founder Adam Yauch, by having every starter use a Beastie Boys song as their walk-up music.

- I found the most interesting part of the local court room conviction outburst was how one juror stated she was thankful for the outburst because it let her know who the real person was and made her feel better about the life sentence.

- This girl isn’t even in high school and is the CEO of her own company and invented a cure for hiccups. When I was her age, I was still trying to wean myself off of Transformers, G.I. Joes, and He-Man toys.
