Random Saturday Afternoon Ramblings.....

• Vegas has Da Bears as 10-1/2 point favourites over Our Buffalo Bills. Take The Bills on this one!! (Sunday 10-8-2006 10AM, KOIN-6 TV)

• Was looking at some paperwork from the Buildings Division at work yesterday when it struck me: We have one guy in my Department (Community Development....now isn't THAT a warm and fuzzy title for a bureau) whose name is George Steele.......and another guy whose named Jim Duggan! This is no shit.....look it up youself on the links to the names above....

They ARE the best tag-team we got against the housebuilding lobby and the developers!!

• Oh......they WERE serious??

I had poked at Bucky's in an earlier post about how there's never one around when you need one! Matt Groening did this in The Simpsons episode where Bart gets his ear pierced ("Better hurry up, kid, and get your ear pierced. In five minutes, this place closes down and becomes a Starbucks"), and The Onion had a great go at 'em....

....so I see this in MSNBC.com! I thought they were just having a go at The Onion, or pathetically attempting to actually be satirical or something. Nope.....it was true, and they said it in a straight face and a serious tone......Bucky's has expansion plans!!

OK....which Howard Schultz quote is from The Onion story and which one is from the MSNBC story:

A) - "We dont believe that we are even 50 percent through to the unique opportunity we have in North America" founder and Chairman Howard Schultz said

B) - According to Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, the new location represents the beginning of a long-term expansion plan


C) - "Drink our coffee" Schultz said. "Drink it!"


Scary, isn't it......wonder what the Starbucks Oracle thinks of this.....??













Bobo and Ernie results tomorrow night!
