BREAKING NEWS!!! & it's not GOOD!!! then again, what Breaking News is EVER Good?

My Scanner is DEAD! kaput, dsoi chai, road kill, The lifeline to the Newgpblog has assumed "room temperature" and I am temporarily unable to proceed with creative, thought provoking, ingenious, temperamental, heart throbbing, aggravating, obnoxious, Funny, Dull, Insulting, Idiotic, Stupid, Fantastic, Wonderful (add your comment here) Postings.... I think the death of my Scanner had to do with (not the BUSH Administration) but the Fact that Michael was here today to present a check for $1500.00 to the Newgpblog.blogspot for our Posting of the McKendry Brothers Engagement on 9/29/07 at Sandy Run "Country Club". The McKendry Brothers check for $1500.00 is the first time Newgpblog has received cold cash revenue! As luck would have it...while watching my beloved Scanner assume Room Temperature, Michael received a cell phone call from the Mgr at the "Country Club" 1) "Mike, can you give me 25 tickets?" 2) The "Country Club" can accommodate 215 3) Michael was given 75 tickets to sell 4) The "Country Club" kept 140 tickets to sell to members of the "Country Club" 5) The "Club" sold their tickets (140 of them) in Tree, Three, Tres DAYS!!!! 6) I suggested to Michael that he sell the 25 tickets the "Club" asked for...Back to the "Club" @ $100.00 a piece... 7) Being a "Flaming Liberal" Michael said....(Gerry, Give Peace a Chance...") Bottom line...looks like if you want to see the McKendry Brothers in a "Country Club" setting you better reserve a space NOW!!! I have 2 tickets I am willing to part with for $450.00 (that would be PER ticket) Meanwhile...I need to find a new scanner....... (a picture is worth a thousand words)

1. PS... Michael took back the check that was meant to be advertising Revenue for the Newgpblog and tore it up...Woe is Me!
