Don't even ask

Here is what we have planned for the upcoming weekend:

Nothing. Nada. Bupkis.

We won't be going to the Opera. We won't be attending fancy dress balls in our Sunday best. We won't be hosting an evening of 15th Century French poetry. And we definitely won't be participating in that political round-table discussion that we were invited to. The Obamas are just going to have to look for another couple to replace us.

Nope. We are going to lay around in our pajamas and try to get rid our our colds. Maybe watch some movies or catch up on our TV shows. I'm definitely going to sit down and watch Notre Dame play Washington on Saturday.  Gia will probably read a lot.  And I'll make soup. Or chili. Something hot and warm.  But we aren't doing anything this weekend.

Nothing.  Nada.  Bupkis.

Unless, of course, we do.

It's been a Mad World in the Blogosphere this week.  Strength to all those hurting.

PS -  Tomorrow's post (Friday Oct 2nd) will be a special one for a fellow blogger and the a certain cause that he is championing.  Check, check...check it out!

Headline News

Sometimes I'm sucked into reading something in a newspaper or on a website solely based on the headline. Makes sense since that is the headline's freakin' job.

So in honor of Jay Leno's boring return to television, here are some news headlines that caught my eye today:


Burt Reynolds in Rehab, Reportedly Found Lying in Pool of Blood
Since the headline didn't read "a pool of HIS OWN blood" I felt compelled to read on.  Just to confirm that the Bandit had actually gone bad ass on Smokey.

Amusing End for Dad's Foul Ball

Wandering hubby found with drunken whore castrated by angry mommy.  Not. Even. Close.

Found: Firm Place to Stand Outside Solar System
I was kinda hoping that Heaven had hard wood floors. 

"Dead" GI is Alive & Well
You can all breath a sigh of relief. The military-run zombie apocalypse is still months away.

Boss at Ritzy Coach Store Sued for Asking Employee to Look at His "Weiner"...Dog
OK...The Daily News was gonna get me on this story no matter what the headline said.  But then it got even better.  Gay man at a NYC Coach store asks fellow male employee to check out the size of his weiner?  What's so special about that?  Oh wait...he claims he isn't gay.  THAT'S the news right there.

Man Puzzled to be at Center of NYC Terror Probe
Osama bin Laden was shocked, shocked I tell you. Claims he was home watching the game with a couple of pals.  Pizza and beer. Pizza and beer, my friends.
