HAPPY BELATED 'BIRTHDAY'

 To Jeopardy, perhaps the greatest game show ever. 50 years old yesterday, 30 of them with Alex Trebek (grow back the mustache Alex!). I started watching the show about 40 years ago, back when Art Fleming was the host & Don Pardo (later to do the opening intro at SNL) was the announcer. It is such a great game show, one that actually requires knowing things, which is what makes it so special (at least to me). It was always such fun to play along with the show, and occasionally even win a game.

 Another 50 years (and the question is -  how long should Jeopardy continue?).

FOUND ON LINKEDIN

“As an example, you may have successfully brought on 50 new clients in your time with your previous company--use this as a segway into how you plan to increase sales for your potential employer.”

And park that segue in front of the fake-ade!

FRIDAY FUNNIES

ONE SHOT

By Lee Child:

‘Reacher checked his watch. Time ticking away. He stepped up close.

“You got medical insurance?” he asked.

The guy nodded.

“Dental plan?”

The guy nodded again.

 Reacher hit him in the mouth. Right-handed, short swing, hard blow.

“Get that fixed,” he said.’

COINCIDENCE? MAYBE NOT...

 Cut this out of the paper a few months back. Couldn't help but notice the odd pairing of movies; especially the movie paired with the Justin Beiber movie...truer words perhaps never spoken???

SPEAKING OF ZOMBIES...

For all you Walking Dead fans out there ("Look at the flowers, Lizzie") here's the t-shirt my daughter bought me for my birthday...

Cool, isn't it?

JOHN DIES AT THE END

By David Wong: ‘Something coming back from the dead was almost always bad news. Movies taught me that. For every one Jesus you get a million zombies.’

FRIDAY FUNNIES

BEER #1114

Tatra Beer from  Poland. Found this at the International Food Club in Orlando; what a great store, lots of foods from all around the world – mainly Europe & the Middle East. Also a small selection of beer singles, mostly from Eastern Europe & England. So this is a tasty lager, certainly a bit more flavor than American lagers, a nice drink for a hot day.

The thing that struck me is the label – a variant is reproduced below. Mine is in English, but the Polish version translates from MOC Z CHARAKTEREM to BEER WITH CHARACTER. Just struck me as a humorous thing to see on a beer label, sounds more like a wine kind of thing!

But, if you get a chance, pick one up and drink it on a nice hot day...

okrzyki!…

UNLEASHED

By Emily Kimelman:

“We are saddled with endless laws, rules, regulations, statutes, ordinances, mandates, and acts of Congress that it makes me wonder if this country is even a democracy at all or just a bureaucratic artifice.”
