Brooke Astor’s Son Guilty in Scheme to Defraud Her

By JOHN ELIGON 6:58 PM ET

Anthony D. Marshall was convicted of stealing from the matriarch as she suffered from Alzheimer’s disease in the twilight of her life. He could face from 1 to 25 years behind bars.

Look out my sons!!  Whatever your names are………?

Myth.

Uh, everyone’s pee stinks…….so why pick on aparagus……….?  Heck, you could blame that on the Taliban if you like, or your ex mother-in-law who treated you badly or your ex-boss who stared down the front of your shirt for that matter………..”Argggh! Honeeeey!!  My pee-pee smells bad ‘cause my boss was staring down my shirt again today!!!!”

Uh huh.

pbrown:

Asparagus makes your pee stink.

This myth I have just told you is also a myth.

Therefore it is fact.

I hope that this post has served you well.. as some sort of public service announcement.

Creep + Cape = Creepy Cape Guy.

Phantom of the opera…………….

pbrown:

There is a disturbing dude who paces back and forth on the street directly in front of our house. He wears a cape, which has a mask attached to it, which subsequently covers 50% of his face.

I am waiting for the day him and I square off? in a dance off!

A brotacular evening

brownj:

Dancing shoes?  Aging beaniks?  Count me in……. I wish I was there………

Well, last night truly lived up to expectations.  Immersed in a throng of aging beatniks and bluesmen and women, the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival went down like a cold beer on a hot christmas morning.  Meaning it was delicous.  Reasons for greatness include:

1) Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings - once again OWNED the stage.

2) Smokey Robinson - played tracks of my tears, i’ve got sunshine, build me up buttercup.  All the hits you know.

3) Deer lake park - pretty amazing venue, kind of like the Molson Amphitheatre.

4) Free Admission

5) Being driven in through the gates in a golf cart (see #4)

6) It was a reasonable temperature

7) Jb remembered to bring his dancin shoes

Overall very good show.  Only downside was Smokey turning the last half of his act into supreme adult comtemporary CHFI lovefest.  Kinda cheesy, but points for being 75yrs old and still making the ladies swoon.

Zelda, 10 years old, California “I took the FBBus in July, 2009!” “Little Zelda, now Zelda-Jolie, has packed up her cane and dancing shoes and her little cardbvoard suitcase that has been waiting by the door for months for that special moment when she would finally find her very own forever home. She  flew first class from Los Angeles, California, to Buffalo, New York with her new mom.  She will have her choice of spending her days in her mom’s lap since mom works from home as a senior management recruiter, or hanging out on the couch with her new French Bulldog siblings, Louis, Isabella and Sebastien. On the days when mom has to be gone, dad will work from home and hang out with the Frenchies.  Oooo la-la!! We know Zelda is dancing to a happy tune now! (And boy can this little girl dance!  In spite of her compromised hind quarters she runs with the best of them, snores like a truck driver, and totally loves riding in the car——especially to Tim Horton’s.  She is sweet and precious beyond words.)

Bro Favor

pbrown:

Whew….thanks for the lesson.  I’m still learning about “sick” as in “that is so sick” and a few others.  As your parent, I thank you…….:)  No, I do NOT want to be “with it” or “in”, I just want to understand what the hell you’re talking about!

Bro Favor

(n.) Pronounced like the spanish “por favor”, bro favor is an act of goodwill asked of one’s “bro” or “homey”.

(adv.) Still pronounced like the spanish “por favor”, but used in place of the word please.

(n.)“Dude, I could really use $7 to buy this limited edition copy of Spawn. Do me a bro favor and spot me $7?”

(adv.) “Spot me $7 bro favor?”

Your Mom speaking

pbrown:

Yuk! SGFMR:  Son Guidance For Mom Recommended.  I won’t be ab le to sleep tonight!!!!

While at work today I was in a meeting and the presenter was having difficulty accessing some data from a server that he needed to continue on with his presentation. So while we all sat there waiting, somehow the conversation turned to the Planet Earth Documentaries by The BBC. Then, someone I work with started talking about the video you see above, which is a Golden Eagle dragging Goats off of a cliff.

Then the presenter threw the video up on the projector. Then some goats died and we all had a good laugh… I hope I never run into a Golden Eagle. Tip: fast forward to the 0:50 mark if you want to go straight to the action.
