Asking about the players...What League has the Highest IQ, and what League has the Lowest IQ?

I saw this on the Web...I always thought Scotland was its own Country, I guess I was wrong?

LONDON (Reuters) - The owner of a tiny island off Scotland declared its independence from the United Kingdom on Saturday, saying he wanted the territory, population one, to be a crown dependency like the Channel Islands.

Do we have Scottish Blood ?

White Suburban Kids are the Largest Buyers of Hip Hop...

Do you like Hip Hop ??? Do your kids ? Some people say that Hip Hop is the 21st Century version of Folk Music...yep.

(Hip hop arose during the 1970s when block parties became common in New York City, especially the Bronx. Block parties were usually accompanied by music, especially funk and soul music. The early DJs at block parties began isolating the percussion breaks to hit songs, realizing that these were the most dance-able and entertaining parts; this technique was then common in Jamaica and had spread via the substantial Jamaican immigrant community in New York City, especially the "godfather" of hip hop, DJ Kool Herc.)

"Cash Cab" (the TV show) on the Discovery Channel

Do you wear White Pants or Belts ? shoes...

These Golfer outfits are ridiculous ! Who dresses these people ?

• White shoes?
• White Belts?
• White Pants?

Not to mention the Neckware that seems to be in Vogue with Baseball players & NFLers!

As a person that watched his Sunday Morning show, this saddens me...

NBC's Tim Russert dies of apparent heart attack

Another strange tradition in baseball...

Along with overweight, aging coaches in full uniforms comes this observation of a baseball tradition that I just don't get. When a pitching change is obvious, why is it necessary for the head coach (manager) to struggle his way out to the pitcher's mound just to take the ball from one guy (the pitcher being replaced) and hand it to the next guy (the one coming into the game)? Can't they just use that phone and say, "Hey Dawson, send in the lefty."

Do you do Vitamin D3 ?

The use of sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 8 inhibits more than 95% of vitamin D production in the skin.[14][31] Recent studies showed that, following the successful "Slip-Slop-Slap" health campaign encouraging Australians to cover up when exposed to sunlight to prevent skin cancer, an increased number of Australians and New Zealanders became vitamin D deficient.[17] Ironically, there are indications that vitamin D deficiency may lead to skin cancer.[32] To avoid vitamin D deficiency dermatologists recommend supplementation along with sunscreen use.

Happy Birthday TJ !

# 58........... and the Photo tracs the Bermuda Blog...(DON'T YOU THINK he looks like Tom Jones !)

I actually enjoy the Heat

Has anyone seen Algore's movie, "An Inconvienent Truth" ? If so, what did you think ?

people ask, "do you think you will run out of Blog Topics?"

With photos like this, I doubt it ! Remember our Bermuda Trip? When John cancelled our rooms ?

To close out the Blog coverage of the Triple Crown, I offer this Headline..."What a Big Baby"...

BIG BABY !!! The Trainer for Big Brown bragged that his Horse would win. When his Horse finished Last he refused to talk to reporters. This guy is a .... BIG BABY !!! "...Trainer Rick Dutrow Jr. was a no-show, leaving questions and few answers about what happened to Big Brown in Saturday's 1 1/2-mile Belmont..." rick dutrow, jr is a Big Baby...

"The Cooker" returns to the stage in Flourtown!

This just in...the McKendry Bros. (with Rick Holland) returned to their tour of Bethlehem Pike in Flourtown last night with an appearance at Halligan's Pub. The night marked Michael's return to show biz since his incredible surgery on APRIL 11. That's right, in less than TWO MONTHS he was back hittin' 'em with that "Scotch n' Soda" and other classic hits. It was an acoustic show and after a brushing away a few moths from the lingering anesthesia, "the Cooker" could be heard hitting all the high and low notes he's become known for over the years. Welcome back Cooker!!!

Did you know...HEAT is the # 1 weather related Killer?

More than Hurricanes, snowstorms, cyclones, Twisters, lightening and Tsunamis...So, KEEP COOL !

The Belmont Stakes Triple Crown Run !

You are invited to Bet $2.00 on the horse of your choice for the Race this Saturday.

Hopefully, someone more skilled than I am will post "The Field" !

Do you read the Bible ?

I have tried on a number of occassion and it is really Confusing. (PLUS... I had to get the photo from the last Post off of the prominent position it held on the Blog!)

I'm putting myself on notice!

Some of you may read this post and say to yourself, "Self, these PEA's are off their rockers..." or "The PEA don't fall far from the tree." Well, I am here to say that I officially don't give a crap. I am officially putting myself on notice!

I am becoming one of those guys who says "Well, it's only a few pounds..." Then a month later it is, "Well, it's only a few more pounds"... the next thing I know, I am the guy huffing and puffing when walking up the steps. I am the guy who is sweating while on the train.

I have started my training program. I am blogging about it. Go here if you are interested: http://rehabthispea.blogspot.com/

If you are not interested, do me a favor and punch yourself in the face for me. Adios, see you on the rehab trail.

BTW: The picture is a fake, but that is what i feel like...

Which brother looks like he had Major, Humongous Surgery 47 Days Earlier? And which one looks like he needs that Surgery to have been done Yesterday ?

I think I need a NEW HEART !...of course my " Sweat Suit" makes me look a lot Larger than I actually am....

Then & Now

Princess Homecoming graduates this week and our house has been inundated with invitations to graduation parties. Got me thinking of my graduation gift. Mother and Dad got me an AM/FM portable radio. Probably 10" X 8" X 2 ". Listened to it all summer cementing basements in North Philly with Mike Galvin. Used it for years. Worked great on the dash of my '58 Chevy too. Got all the new FM stations loud and clear. Gerry brought me home a Seiko watch from Viet Nam. Self winding, 17 jewels. Still have it. Still works. Had the crystal replaced 25 years ago. 8 years ago a jeweler saw it on my wrist and said, "One of the best watches ever made. Don't ever get rid of it." The jeweler was a Russian guy from Rochester Hills, MI named Effem . How's that for a name? He honestly offered me a "cheap" used Rolex for it. 40 years and still ticking. Thanks Pea. The rest of you must have stiffed me, I can't remember getting anything from you. Not too late to make up for it. You have my address. Don't send a watch; I have one. Don't send an AM/FM, have one of those too. Don't send a Work Sharp have one.

I Don't Like "HIGH FIVES"(& this was not POSTED by Pea!)

From the list of things that irritate me, comes this thought. I don't think the "HIGH FIVE" should be used anymore. Where did this gesture begin? What is the term for the "CLINCHED FIST TAP"? Where did that begin? That should be eliminated too. Whatever happened to a HAND SHAKE?
