It's just one thing after another.

Today in Philadelphia, we had...

- Philly-area native Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett announcing divorce;

- an earthquake that scared the shit out of me and my cat...

- ...followed by an opportunistic armed robbery on the other side of town;

- the death of Joey Vento, cheesesteak mogul, of a massive heart attack;

- predictions that Irene could hit the Philly area as a Category 3 hurricane;

- and a report that the Smith-Pinkett divorce rumor is false.

I'm sorry, but this was all just too much excitement for one city to bear. Tell me, how newsworthy was your day?

Most notable thing to happen here today was that Max and I tried out the new harrisa spice mix on some lamb strips for wraps for lunch.

It was very good though. Quite happy with that purchase.

Earthquake i didn't feel

AND THE NEW PUMP ARRIVED FOR THE POOL!!!!

Unfortunately nothing that happens at the pool will ever be newsworthy because the pool prez is the News director of the local press so has a "conflict of interest" Ok, so this wasn't genuinely newsworthy, but many things are and we can't get coverage because....

One too many cheez-take-wit.

Yesterday I was on the radio.
Then Colonel Gadafi's compound was surrended to the Rebels.

Coincidence?

I didn't feel the quake either but some Daytonians did. For some reason, the prevailing feeling was "Was that an earthquake or am I going crazy?" Craziness and earthquakes being tightly linked, you know.

I'm sorry about ur cheesesteak guy, but you all must have seen that one coming. Cheesesteak=death via heart attack. It's not really rocket science.

No, no, that's homosexuals.

I just knew that the next post would say that. It didn't matter who it was.

Sundae · 08-24-2011, 09:42 AM

I'm pleased to have obliged.

It does make we wonder how busy Sheldon's been lately, to have caused all this fuss!

ZenGum · 08-24-2011, 07:20 PM

Maybe he has been cloned.

Brandishing their four weapons...

Well, famine shouldn't be a problem, but I'm a bit worried about the pestilence.

Well thinking about it, Jews and homosexuals will bring about the end of the world.
Think of all those on the West coast.
Sheldon seems to have tipped the scales to the EAST coast, possibly single handedly.

Earthquakes and now hurricanes?

What's next? The moon will fall from the sky, seas boil, mountains fall. Fire, flood and disaster. Gaddafi hanged, Dolly Parton lose her voice, Lord Lucan found, Donny Osmand lose his teeth.

Do you want to tell him or shall I?
No wait - I want more photos before he becomes celibate for the good of mankind.

It's ironic for a geographically-illiterate person such as myself to be pointing out another's errors, but I have to tell you that Arizona (where Sheldon hails from) is nowhere near the east coast. It shares a border with California.

Unless maybe he's currently on holiday in North Carolina.
