Good Morning Sports geeks, The weather has warmed up pretty much now, I would say it’s in the 40s now, It is currently raining now, which has cleared most of the snow. Mom is doing well, no complaints. Todays quiz is called “MOVIE MIXTURE” AND “HUMANITIES MIX QUIZ” I hope you guys like it, Have a good one all, peace out ♥
I sent the warm rain your way, Aggie… we had it late Fri and it melted all our snow away… then we got horrendous winds. Sorry to miss everyone… but then I guess you all had a nice TedBreak…
Thanks Ted, nope we always miss our Ted for sure ♥
We missed you during the football games yesterday.
Who is this ‘we’ you speak of JT? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?
JK Ted!
You were missed all weekend.
Aww Come On Fran a day without Ted, is like a day without Sunshine
Hark, who is this ‘Ted’ you people speak of? Can’t be Ted Kennedy, he is in “Chappaquiddick” heaven.
Maybe it’s Ted Bundy. No, he is no longer with us either, thank God. Or maybe Ted Turner, you know he was married to Jane Fonda. Hmmmm, I don’t think it’s him either. Can’t be Ted Williams, he’s dead. Oh, I know who it is, it’s that handsome Mr. Ted Strutz who graces this blog so often with his wit and charm.
Welcome back Mr. Strutz
√
Your posts are never missed Frank.
Maybe that mouse can replace Pugsley!
Good Morning Pugsley

At midnight on January 23, 2012, Chinese people around the world will welcome the new year, ushering in the Year of the Dragon.
Gong Xi Fa Ca! That’s the traditional Chinese New Year greeting that means “wishing you prosperity” in Mandarin. The first day of the Chinese New Year – which begins at midnight on January 23, 2012 – is the most important of Chinese holidays, celebrated by billions in China, and by millions of ethnic Chinese around the world. It’s a celebration that lasts for 15 days, culminating with the Lantern Festival. Each year is associated with one of twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac. For 2012, it’s the Year of the Dragon.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
DRINK COFFEE
do stupid things
faster
with more
energy
I love it!
DAILY JANUARY HOLIDAYS

National Handwriting Day
Measure Your Feet Day- we only ask….”Why!?!”

Welcome back Mr. Strutz
I know, I know, this post is at the top of the comment section. I was afraid it was getting lost up there!
‘You Talkin’ to Me?’
It’s one of the most famous lines in cinema. It also never appeared in the script for the 1976 Robert De Niro movie “Taxi Driver.” According to screenwriter Paul Schrader, the script simply said “Travis speaks to himself in the mirror,” and De Niro improvised the classic dialogue.—David Onda
Yep, seems like something De Niro would do
It looks like the St. Louis Blues lost to Betty’s Red Wings.
Night all….time for a nap.
Nite Miss Fran, I hope you sleep well
Thanks Guys For keeping this place going, I hope you have a goodnight ♥
