  nice vid joe!   9 April birthdays:

  Since I'm beating you to the punch today, SP, I'll leave "the Hef" and "Curly" for you ...

  Tribute:

  Tom Lehrer is 86 today ... I remember the first song (below) from my high school chemistry class.  He's listed as a "singer", but he was a noted math professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz until he retired.  He strikes me like someone I wish I had ... check out "New Math" ... so easy, only a child can do it!

  Notables:

  • Comedian Avery Schreiber (1935 - 2002) ... I remember him from potato chip commercials.

  Actors/Actresses:

  • Kristen Stewart is 24
  • Jenna Jameson is 40
  • Dennis Quaid is 60
  • Jay Baruchel is 32
  • Paulina Porizkova is 49
  • Ward Bond (1903 - 1960) ... famous for some old western ... Gunsmoke? Wagon Train? or was it Rawhide?
  • Mark Pellegrino is 49
  • Jay Chandreskhar is 46

  Today's tribute:

  This first song was one we attempted to learn in Chemistry ... several succeeded, but I didn't ... I found it easier to memorize the Elements based on their atomic weight ... but the song is quite fun ... enjoy:

  This next song ... new math ... Tom sure makes math sound easy, doesn't he?

  Finally ... here's a song for arguably the most popular person celebrating a birthday today ...

  Okay SP ... I'll post for the man who made the "average beauty" long for a bit more ... I'm certain the plastic surgery community love him ... the US alone probably has enough implants now to cover the state of Rhode Island!  Maybe even more.

  So who is this Hef I speak of?  Well, the founder of Playboy Magazine, of course.  Hugh Hefner is 88 today!  

  As smùt mags go, his is really tame.  But he is a huge contributor to "Smùt" nonetheless!

  Have a wonderful day everyone!

  Edit:  Love how they censored "Smùt" ... lol.

  As usual, good tunes by Kat. Hey Kat, I think your talking double sawbuck sounds like old' toothless talking shit. Oh did you notice that Segal looks more and more like Bela Lugosi everyday?

  My bet is (1) If Harris English gets in the top 5, I win straight up ... if he doesn't but beats Ricky Fowler, I win.  If he doesn't do either, I cough up $20 ... sounds like a sure win for me!  Fowler sucks!

  Yeah ... Seagal is getting a bit long in the tooth, but I wouldn't want to be on his bad side ... even today.

  Fowler did well today ... shot a 1 under.  My boy Harris didn't do so well with the later tee time.  I can now only hope Fowler does his usual choke ... I'd hate to think that I put the "Kat Hex" on Harris.

  I bet the Broncos to win the superbowl because I simply hate the Broncos!  The way my NFL betting was going last season, it seemed like a sure thing for Seattle to win if I dropped some money on the Broncos.  Now I'm afraid I might have cursed Harris English ... should have thought about it and took Fowler.  English might have came in first place!
