Jimmy Ray Dean (August 10, 1928 – June 13, 2010)
Big Bad John
I grew up with a girl whose father bred and raised SPF (specific pathogen free) hogs for Jimmy Dean's plant in Plainview, Texas. Even though I eat very little pork, I'd probably buy Jimmy Dean sausage if it were on sale.

Back to the Future III Weird Scene
This has been floating around the 'net for quite some time - probably since the movie came out - but all the movies are on tonight and reminded me of it.
In a scene at the end, one of Doc's kids makes a weird gesture; to be honest, I never noticed it until it was pointed out in a video much like the following.
I really think the kid was trying to tell his mother or the director off-camera that he needed to pee.
Intoxicatingly Wise, I Am
Good lookin', too...
When I'm drunk.
You Are Serious |
 You are so wise it's intoxicating. People are blown away by the things you say. In life, you are happy to take the sweet with the sour. You wouldn't want to feel too much of one emotion. You are likely very literary and philosophical. You savor life, and you appreciate others who do as well. You are very cosmopolitan and urban. It drives you crazy when people have a limited or provincial perspective. |
juggernaut
juggernaut \JUHG-er-nawt\ , noun;
1. Any large, overpowering, destructive force.
2. Something, such as a belief or institution, that elicits blind and destructive devotion.
3. An idol of Krishna, at Puri in Orissa, India, annually drawn on an enormous cart under whose wheels devotees are said to have thrown themselves to be crushed.
Seems like I've known this word forever, being as how I've always liked Sci-Fi: "The alien war cruiser tore through the galaxy like a juggernaut." (for example)
I was shown the first definition in the autumn/h.s. football season of 1969; I was a 14 yr. old, 155 lb. freshman trying to block 19 yr. old 200 lb. Oklahoma hillbillies, the operative word being "trying".

Saturday Night - Bay City Rollers w/ Ann Margaret
Who were the Bay City Rollers, you might ask?
From Wiki:
The Bay City Rollers were a Scottish pop band of the 1970s. Their youthful, clean-cut image, distinctive styling featuring tartan-trimmed outfits, and cheery, sing-along pop hits helped the group become among the most popular musical acts of their time. For a relatively brief but fervent period (nicknamed "Rollermania"), they were worldwide teen idols. The group's line-up featured numerous changes over the years, but the classic line-up during its heyday included guitarists Eric Faulkner and Stuart Wood, singer Les McKeown, bassist Alan Longmuir, and drummer Derek Longmuir.
Since the band's quick rise to, and subsequent fall from fame, the members have endured numerous and varied struggles regarding royalty payments, substance abuse, and personal legal problems.
I might very well have to watch this video every day for a month or two, it's that funny. Didja catch the old lady knitting, the old man getting up to boogie and how could you miss the woman w/ the ear horn?
Good Grief, this is almost as funny as Terror on the Roller Coaster
