Is it safe to say that David Blaine is a complete douche? Sorry for using the word "douche" so much, but it's just the perfect expletive in so many situations.<BR/><BR/>Sorry about the age thing. This coming from a guy who can remember The Cisco Kid and Koko The Clown cartoons(reruns of course).<BR/><BR/>Double peace...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-59273039567405598862007-12-18T19:34:00.000-06:002007-12-18T19:34:00.000-06:00Sixty-seven...67???

You sir, are whack.<BR/><BR/>And apparently you don't keep up with David Blaine...he did that "hold his breath underwater" thingy on television. Yes, I only watched it because I had to - for entertainment fodder for my website and by the off chance Letterman or Ferguson calls me up and needs a really good David Blaine joke. Alas, even WITH the writer's strike, it hasn't happened yet.

That's a good age to be - not so old that you're decrepit, and old enough to be looked up to for some dry palmed, sage advice. Seriously, though, you've gotta start looking out for those cracks in the sidewalk. This is not the time for a lingering hip injury on top of everything else.<BR/><BR/>Your daughter sounds like a saint. Your 20 year old son should know better. You can tell him that tpanner called him a jerk to no one in particular.<BR/><BR/>I know how exasperating it is to you that I'm not sending money or job offers, but if I can put a smile on your face, with sort of a wink and a nudge, on this your 67th birthday, I think I've done a lot. And if I've only succeeded in pissing you off, well that's significant too. It gets the adrenaline flowing - makes a good pain killer.<BR/><BR/>David Blaine? What the hell's that all about?<BR/><BR/>You share birthdays with Catherine of Aragon, Ludwig von Beethoven, Jane Austin, George Santayana, Victor Rousseau, Harlan Sanders(KFC), Noel Coward, Margaret Mead, Arthur C. Clarke, Philip K. Dick, Liv Ullman, Lesley Stahl, Steven Bochco, William "The Refrigerator" Perry, Benjamin Bratt, and Billy Ripken - a damn good second baseman for the Baltimore Orioles.<BR/><BR/>Hmm. Pretty good company.<BR/><BR/>Hope you had a great day.<BR/><BR/>Much peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
