That "cliche" came from William Shakespeare! He may have died in 1616, but he is responsible for over 3,000 words, and countless cliches that we still use today! I know, you are probably wondering why I would write about Shakespeare, but I do love poetry and the English language, PLUS, today is Shakespeare's birthday!

This was the 1st time EVER for a mass wedding at the Great Plains Renaissance Festival, and it was awesome! I was joined on the field by the King & Queen, and their Royal Court. It was the Ren Fair's 10 year anniversary, so I joined, in Holy Matrimony, 10 couples! Last year, I did one single wedding in the fall, and this year we decided to do this big number to help celebrate their anniversary. We all had a great time, and who knows, we might do it again in the fall! The fall fest will be in October of this year.

How many times have you said out loud, or muttered under your breath, "PULL YOUR DAMN PANTS UP"! Yeah, me too. I thought maybe it was just my age. Nope. Everyone screams it. My best friend is a very nice, white guy, who is a hard worker, fun to be around, etc, etc. HOWEVER, people always give him hell about his pants sagging. I personally think you can wear what you want, how you want, but at work, there needs to be a pinch of professionalism. Well, in a Parish of Louisiana, saggy draws have been outlawed. If caught, there are fines involved! Click HERE for the full story. If my buddy and I ever head to Louisiana, I'll remind him to put his ass away. "AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FUH DAT"!

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in the heartless bombings at the Boston Marathon. I hope for swift justice on the people who did this. I have assembled a bunch of links today associated with the recent events.

Oh boy. Time to pay tha man buh-zillions of dollars. Did you get em done? I FREAKIN FORGOT! On Sunday the 14th, I woke up, turned on the morning news, and then made an audible scream followed by a loud "OH SH*T"! I immediately jumped in the shower, grabbed all my stuff, and headed down to Liberty Tax at 13th & West. They have done my taxes for the past 6-7 years, and I'm sure by this point, they are used to my slow ass. I got there at 9am, and they didn't open until 1pm! So I went back at 12:15, to be in the front of the line, and they opened early for all of our late asses! 30 minutes later, I was out the door, and am now eagerly awaiting my refund.

Years ago, my ex-wifes niece, at age 10-13, when I would hang with her, ate nothing but french fries. Ok, maybe she had cereal for breakfast, but lunch and dinner, you got it, french fries. Then, at some point, she expanded her palate and added chicken nuggets into her diet. Strange. BUT, it happens more often than you would think! Today, I ran across this.... a 18 year old girl in the UK has eaten nothing but Ramen Noodles for the past 13 years! I don't mind some ramen every now and then, but non stop? NO THANKS! Click HERE for her story, and I also have some links on other food disorders.

Uh, weird. But it's true! Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins owns a tea shop and he now opens the place up monthly for a bingo game hosted by a local celebrity! My Grandma, who is 85, still drives herself to play bingo once a week, and a couple times a month heads with friends to play bingo 60 miles away! But now, BINGO is shifting to something fun for a younger generation. Look in the bingo parlors here in town, or at the casinos in Oklahoma, and sure you'll see old folks, but the crowds are starting to become more dotted with "20 something's"! It can be fun, it's fairly cheap to play, and you could win big! Click HERE for the story.

You would think it's easy to distinguish between a poodle and a ferret. Guess not. Poor fools are being duped in Argentina. A older fellas eye was caught by a very cute poodle. He bought it at an outdoor market. He takes it to the vet, and POW! The vet told this guy it wasn't a DOG at all! It's a FERRET! HA!

YES IT'S TRUE! I know of people who hoarded boxes of the golden, filled spongecakes, and rightfully so! They were sure to be treats of the past, but a group of investors purchased the bankrupt company, Hostess, and say they will get Twinkies back in our pudgy hands! Possibly as soon as summer of this year! Click HERE to read all about it! Also, enjoy these old Twinkies videos.

How many times have you had a song stuck in your head and it WON'T GO AWAY! I've had a song stuck in my brain before for TWO DAYS! And it was.... "Don't worry, be happy"! CRAP! Just typing that now has it running through my head! How do you make em go away? Have you tried putting another song in your mental playlist? Yeah, that doesn't work. But scientists now say they have a method that works! Click HERE to find out what that is.

You know who they are? That's Wichita State University! When they first took the court in 1906, the college was known as Fairmount College. The team was called the "Wheatshockers". In their first game ever, they got pounded by Washburn University 37-10. In their whole first season, they only won 2 games! The WSU Shockers have come a long way, and this coming Thursday, they have a chance to take it a little further! We wish our Shockers the very best, and good luck against La Salle on Thursday night in L.A. Click the picture for the history of the Wichita State SHOCKERS!
