That and this.......

It's  August 23rd, which, of course is the.............. (hang on)... 236th day of the year.  236 happened to be my lottery number in the draft back in dinosaur days (Victor, who asked?)

This is a Leap Year so of course you knew there are 366 days in a Leap Year...  didn't you?  Me neither.  And of course this means it's only 130 days until you stay up until Midnight (9:30pm if you're lucky), pop the cork, welcome in 2025.

Which means, 124 shopping days until Christmas. (Size fat, anything, Modelo Negra,favorite beer).  

So............. is this where you bore us and tell us who was born on this day?  

Uh huh.   Kobe. Seth (the 'other') Curry.  Rick Springfield (he's 74, feeling old?).  Barbara Eden (92, feeling older?) Actually, "Jeannie" was already 2,000 years old when Major Healey rubbed the bottle she was in.  Side note, I bet you forgot when his one-man space capsule came down far, far from where it was sposeta, he rubbed her bottle, she popped out of it.. smooched him on the lips.. communication was poor.. kinda unner his breath he said  "I wish you could speak English..  she blinked.. allofasudden she could.. he wanted to get back home..  she blinked.. . a helicopter appeared outta nowhere..  Major Healey/she, said goodbyes.. he told her "Now  you're free"..  but... she'd fallen in love.. went back in the bottle.. purposely rolled herself in his duffle bag.. and they lived happily ever after, until that is, someone shot JR.

Victor, are you done 'playing' with us?

No.  Who could forget (I did), on this day in the year 2,000, the very first season of Survivor ended (Richard Hatch, remember him? No. Me neither) and of course reality TV was born.

I'm quite sure you remember, 77 years ago today they crowned the very first Little League World Series champion.  MISOGYNIST VICTOR, talk 'girls' to us, not that.  To date, 20 girls have played in the LLWS.  Hey, that first one?  Were there teams from every state? No. They all were from Pennsylvania except one (NJ).  Fittingly, the Maynard Midgets won the first year. Game caught fire though, tweren't but a few years, teams from all 48 States.  Victor........ there are 50 States.  Ahm, there wasn't back in 1947 correctionbreath, tweren't till fitty-nine were them two added.

1933, first eva' televised boxing match, London, England.  Any girls? Nope, that would be much (much) later, sorry.

Is this where you play that stupid game and tell us the hottest and coldest places on Earth right now?

Najaf, Iraq 117 degrees..  Amundsen-Scott, Antarctica minus, that's MINUS 63 degrees. So Victor, exactly how far is it between those two places? No one knows, well, at least Google Maps doesn't. I got tired trying to find that distance.  

98 years ago, The Latin Lover, silent film star Rudolph Valentino died at the age of 31, causing mass hysteria with his fans.

Where'd you live a year ago?  Five years?  Ten?  Twenty?  Forty?  Fitty? Sixty-three? Ahm, Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, St. Charles, MO.  YOU?

35 years ago, Pete Rose bet, got the boot. 14 years ago Elin Nordegren gave Tiger Woods the boot after 6 yrs of marriage.

Where does time go?  It marches on Victor. 

Fitty-two (or three) years ago... Jimmy Hack (friend, sometimes blog reader) was shooting hoops in his driveway in Clinton County MO in preparation for "THE SHOT" that lifted the Plattsuburg Tigers over....... over........ I forgot Jimmy, helps me out....

Forty-five (or so) years ago..   Terri Watson (friend, usedta be a blog reader until my computer malfunctioned and wiped out my friend list) was shooting hoops in her driveway in Kearney MO in preparation for "THE SHOT" that help lift the William Jewell Cardinals over the Tarkio Owls in the Women's Missouri Small College State Championship.

Victor.  Go back to bed.

On this day in History, Victor went back to bed.

What's your vector Victor?  Bed.

Heard you gotta weak back.  When'd you get it?

'Bouta week back.

Bed Victor.

Paul Harvey, Good day.

Were Paul Harvey still here, he'd be just shy of 106 years of age.

NOW you know, The Rest of The Story.

VICTOR!!!!! WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!   Huh?  NO MUSIC????????

Take You Back. Do do do do, take you back. (There, done did.)

Love, Victurd
