Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn auctioned off an evening for dinner in their home in Chicago.

Tucker Carlson of The Daily Caller won.

He decided to take some friends, among them Andrew Breitbart.

Ayers will never forget this evening

Good times!!

Personally, I don’t have any major superstitions. I avoid walking under ladders because I have hit my forehead a few too many times doing so. I think black cats are beautiful. I like lavender not for luck, but because deer hate it and stay away. I have opened many umbrellas in the house, and as far as horseshoes go, they look rather pretty in decor, but not my style. Shamrocks are for the Irish, and the thought of carrying a rabbit’s foot in my pocket is rather revolting, mostly because I used to watch my uncle make keychains from the paws.

All that being said, I do have one tiny superstition. I don’t wear my team colors when the Aggies play. Every time I’ve done so, they have lost. So I guess I do have one, even though it’s rather weak.

What little superstitious quirks do y’all have?

He wasn’t one of my favorite people, but he sure knew how to make a company succeed. Rest in peace.

If memory serves, it’s a ritual undertaken by two people who have more than a passing interest in each other. No, I didn’t look it up in the dictionary! Seriously though, I remember my sister going out on dates. Most of them comprised of going to a movie, and then McDonald’s, or if it was a special occasion, a nice restaurant. When Hubby and I were dating, we stuck to doing the inexpensive stuff: campus free movie night, no cover charge before a certain time, etc. Sometimes just going down to sit by the main water fountain was fine. The other day Eldest was telling me of her friends, and how they went on a date to the Riverwalk and had dinner on the boat. And it wasn’t even Prom, y’all. I asked her whatever happened to just going to a movie, and she gave me her little condescending smile and said, “Mom, that’s like for groups, you know…”

My, how times have changed. I still search for the ideal date night. Knowing me, it’s the one without the kids!

And what is your ideal date night? 

Then we have thespian Bacon:

Thanks to mrfixit for reminding me of elemental Bacon:

And finally, culinary Bacon:

So, relax Soylent Green! Have another shot of this, and enjoy your Sunday

But enough about that. I want to travel in my Way Back Machine™ and remember how I laughed at milk and Pepsi, how Johnny Fever wore his shades, how funny is was to watch Fonzie tell someone to “sit on it.” At least, until he jumped the shark…

So, what were your favorite sit-coms growing up in the 80′s??

Oh, and a gracious hat tip to Hank Scorpio, for the idea!!

Semper Fi

It actually speaks to me. Well, more like screams about me, doesn’t it? Here are the rules:

1 – Go to Wikipedia and hit random. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 – Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 – Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”. Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 – Use Photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) to put it all together.
5 – Post it on your blog along with these instructions, and trackback or link to your post in these comments.

Have fun!!
