The Dow dropped 1000 points in 6 minutes yesterday. I’ll get a financial expert to explain once they all stop hyperventilating.
It has now been established that karma has a full name – Karma Ashley Madison. To everyone downloading the Alabama cheaters list from Ashley Madison, there are fake lists circulating that can lead to identity theft … and someone fake posting your info to Ashley Madison. I feel a little bad for these schmucks who had their info leaked. If someone hacked my Amazon Prime music account and posted what I listen to, I’d be mortified.
When did getting massively offended become our defining trait? The internet is outraged today because costume stores are selling Caitlyn Jenner costumes for Halloween. Who. Cares. There is a petition online in Complainy-pants Land that this costume can ONLY be sold to transgendered people because anyone else who wears it is mean. The trending costumes right now are Jenner, Trump, Jarred from Subway and Hillary Clinton in a prison pantsuit. You can dress as the terrorist who got his butt handed to him on that French train but if you dress as Jenner, you’ll be in hot water with the Fun Police because the internet is upset.
And a few things you need to know …
On this date in 1822, William Herschel died. Herschel was the one who discovered Uranus and don’t think he wasn’t kidded about that.
A Kentucky Chuck E Cheese threw out a uniformed police officer because of their no firearm policy. Given that Chuck E Cheese has a history of attempted assassinations, massive brawls, assaults and more, they should really start issuing firearms at the door.
Sierra Leone has just released their last Ebola patient. They have to wait 42 days in order to declare the outbreak over. The worst part of getting Ebola for me would be having to give a summary of how I spent my time.
And … A new Harvard study says that sarcasm may actually be good for you. It was hard saying that with a straight face.
Final shameless plug of the day!
I’ll be off tomorrow because of tonight’s film screening. You are invited to come out to the Edge 12 in Crestwood starting at 7:30PM for a Backwoods Films shorts block. Movies start around 8ish so you only need an hour.
We’ll be watching:
For a Few Zombies More (trailer only). Get a sneak peek at the long-awaited sequel to “Hide and Creep!”
Nine Minutes. This short film takes you inside the lives of the people (like me) who live inside your radio. It will ensure you never change clothes in front of your radio again.
Lullaby Procedure. Will Drs. Carl and Lucy win a global war for their superiors with an ironically named new weapon? Or will it be “sweet dreams” for their human experiments?
I got a call at the station this morning from a lady who is coming but took my advice and is leaving her younger kids at home, since Lullaby has some language and a lot of gore. She said, “The kids love you and are so sad they can’t come and ask that you write something they can see next time.” Deal. I’ll hook you guys up.
I can’t wait to see everyone! I’ve still got some prep to take care of today so I won’t be online to answer questions and I’m probably silencing my phone. Just come on out to the Edge 12, we’ll be at the table up front with your free tickets. Now I need to find something to wear …
