Halloween
has just ended. A news article appeared about an amputee, Josh Sundquist, who’s
Halloween outfit won a contest by looking similar to the famous ‘leg’ lamp from
the movie "The Christmas Story”. If you haven’t seen the movie…you
should…if you haven’t seen the picture of Sundquist in his outfit…you should.
Both are funny.
Apparently
some in the news want us to feel sorry for child-molester, ex-Penn State coach
Jerry Sandusky, because he was put in a prison in an inconvenient location to
his lawyers, family and friends. I don’t feel sorry. There isn’t a prison far
enough away, as far as I’m concerned.
Professional
basketball player James Harden played for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA
last year. You may have seen pictures of him. He’s the one with the
close-cropped hair…but a full, bushy, black beard. I guess his contract was up
after last season with Oklahoma City and they offered him a new contract to
stay longer…if he would accept $54 million dollars to stay and play basketball
for them. That check would look like this when it’s written down on that little
money line on our checks… $54,000,000.00.
Well…Mr.
Harden didn’t think that was a good idea…so he went a little further south…to
the Houston Rockets…and they wrote him a check that looks like
this…$80,000,000.00
I
guess Mr. Harden knew what he was doing.
I wish
I’d have practiced a little harder at learning how to play basketball when I
was younger!
