PERSONAL RANTINGS…BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
On our way to BuschGardens today…my brother Terry (my favorite person on the face of this earth!) is visiting from Saudi Arabia where he lives with his wife and two boys…so we're all heading up to Williamsburg (or "The Burg" as Chuckie calls it). My goal is to watch all the kids have a blast in Dragonland…Chuck says "Yeah, right! You and Terry are going to ride Griffon 10 times and leave me hangin' with all 4 kids"…hmmm…perhaps - we'll have to see!
Loads of family time the last few weeks…I LOVE IT!!! Chuck on the other hand is trying to cope. After spending an entire week with my entire family in an entirely too small house in the Outer Banks, we're spending more time with my brother & his family, then this Friday, we're driving up to my sisters house in Medford, NJ for my brother-in-laws 50th Birthday. I cannot get enough of my family…I love it! Please, however, say a prayer for Chuck J

THINGS THAT MAKE ME GO: “THAT'S SAD FOR YOU!!!”
29-year-old TAKERU KOBAYASHI, the TIGER WOODS of competitive eating, just had a huge setback in his quest to defend his title at this year's annual July 4th Nathan's Famous hot dog eating contest on Coney Island, New York.
--He says that he suffered a, quote, "SEVERE JAW INJURY" while he was training. (--And in competitive eating, that HAD to be the most devastating injury. It's like a pitcher having Tommy John surgery.)
--He says, quote, "My jaw refused to fight anymore. I feel ashamed that I couldn't notice the alarm bells set off by my own body. But with the goal to win another title, I couldn't stop my training so close to the competition. I finally destroyed my jaw."
--This year COULD have been the greatest eating contest ever. . . since, for the first time ever, Kobayashi was going in as the UNDERDOG.
--Back on the 2nd of this month, 23-year-old JOEY CHESTNUT of San Jose, California, broke Kobayashi's record by eating 59-and-a-half hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes. Kobayashi's record was "only" 53-and-three-quarters.
--Kobayashi's status for the contest has been unknown for a while now; his mother died earlier this year, and he stopped all eating training to mourn.
--But. . . even with his severe jaw injury, Kobayashi says he STILL wants to try to compete in New York. Quote, "I want to be the pride of my mother." (AFP)

THINGS THAT MAKE ME GO: “YEAH, THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT.”
It's easy to get a woman's number when she's been drinking. But here, in the cell phone era. . . that number is REALLY no guarantee that she's actually going to talk to you when she sobers up.
--According to a survey by Samsung, 40% of single women, ages 18 to 35, say they've given their number to a guy. . . regretted it right afterwards. . . and pretended that their cell phone was cutting out when he called.
--78% say they only give out their cell phone number to guys. . . never their home phone.
--32%. . . that's just about one out of every three women. . . say you can tell A LOT about a person by his cell phone. . .
. . . And 12%. . . that's almost one out of eight women. . . say they'd actually be LESS LIKELY to date someone if they had a cell phone that was big and bulky.
--39% of women say they've sent a text message and regretted it the next morning.
--The average woman has 63 contacts in her cell phone. . .
. . . And 74% look at their phone, not a watch, to check the time.

--Derek Jeter - 33 (Dreamy New York Yankees shortstop. In high school, he was president of the Latin club. . . and he never, ever cusses.) (True.)
--Sean Hayes - 37 (Jack on "Will & Grace". Sean gets lots of questions about his own sexuality. . . which he's left deliciously ambiguous, so we'd totally believe his character.)
--Mark McKinney - 48 ("SNL" alumni who also played Father Williams in "Night at the Roxbury" AND Father Tylenol Ritley in "Superstar".) (???)
--Patty Smyth - 50 (Pronounced "Sm-EYE-th". '80s rock singer formerly in Scandal. Nowadays, Patty Smyth nails John McEnroe ANYTIME SHE WANTS TO!!!)
--Chris Isaak - 51

STUFF TO SHARE TODAY THAT MAKES YOU SOUND SMART…ALLEGEDLY.
1284 - According to the GRIMMS' FAIRY TALE, today the PIED PIPER led the children out of Hamelin, Germany. See, the townsfolk didn't pay him for leading the rats out of town, so he abducted the children. Hence, the expression, "paying the piper".
1819 - William Clarkson, Junior, patented the BICYCLE.
1963 - President JOHN F. KENNEDY gave a speech in West Berlin where he declared, "ICH BIN EIN BERLINER". . . which means "I am a Berliner." However, some of the krazy Krauts laughed. . . because it sounded like Kennedy had called himself a jelly donut.
1973 - MICK JAGGER was named in a London paternity suit by one Marsha Hunt. She claimed Jagger was the father of her two-year-old daughter. Mick took a blood test and WON. He had no such luck 27 years later with that nasty young Brazilian super-minx.
1975 - SONNY & CHER divorced after 11 years of marriage. Cher married GREGG ALLMAN four days later. Sonny skied into a tree in 1998.
