One more attempt at finding comedy in the face of targedy and some such from our reliable news media. Their latest offerings included the following -
1. Family of high schooler shot, killed by police demands action - sounds like the latest incarnation of 'The Omen'.
2. The British Monarchy celebrates a diamond jubilee and in the words of the queen's son she was thanked for her self-less service. Remove 'self' and I may start seeing the picture. And while we are at it what the heck is a CommonWealth anyway? Was the original dufus idea of a common currency? Not many of these colonies of the former British occupation are wealthy if that is implied. It was a wonderful party though to watch from the comfort of your home - the only best parts were the hollywood type lights and fireworks. I could not tell who some of the bogus singing crew were and why some ancient dying and one time popular stars were attempting to croak on stage.. I almost thought they would themselves have to be hospitalized. Apparently the king was in hospital - Elton was about to go to hospital and the others did look like they were soon on their way after the concert. No wonder these countries are in trouble - talk about excess spending! And who invited Katie Couric to show her thighs while discussing this moronic subject? I guess all people of the same age group were invited and given a free pass to go have some fun in London.
3. Here is an oxymoron - banks staring at Big Shortfall
4. Man shot at a San Jose karaoke bar had too much to drink (why shoot a bar - the same bar that helped you drink?)
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
I can understand the Queen doing the jig, but why is everyone and the media going gaga? Is everyone equally jobless?
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me that the lady herself, 'GAGA' that is, was conspicuously absent from conspicuous consumption proceedings!
