From time to time I come across stuff that I want to blog about but have no real place to put it... they aren't random thoughts and usually aren't big enough for a single blog post so I save them up and post sort of a smorgasbord of interesting stuff and I call it "hitting the high notes"... Here goes:
-Maxim Magazine is pretty embarrassed after admitting that they gave the Black Crowes a lukewarm review on their new album - Without even listening to the whole thing... Uhh Maxim I know your goal in life is to be Playboy lite but come on at least have some shred of legitimacy.
-Boy George denies imprisoning Norwegian man at his London home - I am sorry but I just find that headline funny as heck.
-Students at Chapel Hill high School were recently busted in a HUGE cheating scandal. Now I know you say this kind of thing happens all the time but the ironic thing is that this particular high school is supposed to be the toughest most academically prestigious high school in the entire state of North Carolina. They are a public high school who thinks of themselves as a private school. If you get a chance read the article these kids were apparently passing a master key to the school around for years and getting tests ahead of time. It's a big mess and couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of stuck up elitists.
-Did you guys know that the states of Georgia and Tennessee are apparently about to go to war with one another? Apparently somebody in the 1800s messed up and part of Tennessee is actually Georgia's and they want to annex a good portion of the Tennessee river... It may turn into a mini civil war... what do you think about that MickyT ??
-You have got to be kidding me. It's a doggone chartbuster -- a song audible only to dogs has topped New Zealand record charts, and is looking to go global. A Very Silent Night, recorded at a frequency only dogs can hear, was so popular among owners it hit number one at Christmas I don't make these things up folks I just report them. And please don't tell me that you would actually pay money to download this song that only your dog can hear... Yeesh
-I hate to say I told you so but... remember that guy who got mauled at the San Fran zoo by the tiger. I blogged about it here. Well sure enough I was right and the "victim" was drinking an taunted the tiger... Once again I say this is just nothing more than Darwin's natural selection at it's finest.
-And finally there was an incident in Arlington Oregon recently where the Mayor Carmen Kontur-Gronquist was forced from office because there was a racy picture of her posing in bra an panties on a firetruck. Where was this picture found? You guessed it On her Myspace page. Now granted I guess the residents of Arlington Oregon (all 500 of them) have the right to recall their Mayor for whatever reason they want to but I will show the picture here so you can decide for yourself how "racy" it is. But the moral of this story is this... ADULTS SHOULDN'T USE MYSPACE - NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OUT OF IT. The only exception is if you are just checking up on your kids...because not much good can come from them using it either. Here is the picture:
