Rapscallions and reprobates all, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

How….hot….is….it?
Man it’s been hot. I’m sweating like the accountant who had to tell Martha Stewart about her company’s quarterly losses.


Martha Stewart’s company posted quarterly losses of $33 million, that’s far worse than when Martha was in prison. It’s so bad today Martha rolled a drifter just to get sent back to the slammer.


Huh?
Jennifer Lopez has chosen a department store in Chicago to be the first U.S. store to sell her line of products. When asked why Chicago, the Bronx born J. Lo said “Chicago? I thought they said Chicano.”


Jennifer Lopez has chosen a department store in Chicago to be the first U.S. store to sell her line of products. When asked why Chicago, J. Lo said; “I like Chicago. Well, I mean, I’ve never actually been there, but when I fly over on my way from L.A. to Paris it looks neat.”


Long time
The Rolling Stones are coming out with a new album titled “A Bigger Bang.” A bigger bang refers to the theory of the beginning of the universe. And the Stones should know about the beginning of the universe, after all, they played at it.


The Rolling Stones are coming out with a new album titled “A Bigger Bang.” It’s named after what is going to happen to Keith Richard’s liver.

Something like that
The San Diego Padres have lost eight games in a row and still maintain a three game lead in the National League West. No matter how much the Padres blow it, make mistakes or do badly, they are still in the lead; it’s the same strategy as President Bush’s presidential campaigns.


Is he a mullah or something?
Things are getting a little crazy. Homeland Security has brought in the country band Alabama for questioning. “So who is this Arab guy al a Bama you’re named after?”

Either way
Yesterday was Barry Bonds 41st birthday. We still don't know if Bonds is going to come back and play for the San Francisco Giants or retire. Either way he is out of Major League Baseball.

Since you asked:
What do you think if I switch from Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers to Rapscallions and Reprobates? Let me know.

Went out with my wife's clients, John and Michelle, to Petco Park, aka, Bark Park, Fido Field, Bowser Ballpark, the Friendly Canines, Puppy Playfield, to watch the vile bloody birds beat up on the Pade-ers. The clients were a lot of fun. He was old school from New Jersey and he bought shots and we reminisced about dinner at El Molino in New York.

Had dinner right by the Friendly Canines at Lou and Mickey's, an old school steak and seafood place. Awesome. Bone in Filet Mignon. Mmm, mmm, mmm. And some tasty cocktail shrimp. Then more drinks at the game. A little fuzzy today, but not too bad.

The feeling down at Petco is genuinely cool. Great crowd, great bars, great park. And despite all efforts to the contrary, the Padres remain in first.

But the damn Cardinals won.
