WELCOME to Tuesday September 4, 2012.
English professors love to catch the errors students make in their term papers, and
they love nothing better than to catch mixed metaphors. The “friends and survivors” of
Calvin College English department collected this list of mixed metaphors and posted
them on their web site:

“He swept the rug under the carpet.”
“She’s burning the midnight oil at both ends.”
“It was so cold last night I had to throw another blanket on the fire.”
“It’s time to step up to the plate and cut the mustard.”
“She’s robbing Peter to pay the piper.”
“He’s up a tree without a paddle.”
“Beware my friend…you are skating on hot water.”
“Keep your ear to the grindstone.”
“Sometimes you’ve gotta stick your neck out on a limb.”
“Some people sail through life on a bed of roses like a knife slicing through butter.”

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a wonderful Tuesday people, and whatever you do,
don’t forget to LAUGH IT UP! Peace I am outta here, Eucman!
QUOTES OF THE DAY
“Google Plus has introduced a new policy that allows nick-names. Unfortunately,
it’s a nickname they give you based on your search history.” -Conan O’Brien

“A new study found that vegetarian cavemen died earlier than cavemen who
ate meat. Not from starvation they were just murdered after they kept talking
about why they became vegetarians.” -Jimmy Fallon

“A recent article says yoga-related injuries are on the rise. It’s not surprising
that yoga fans are upset with this article. After all, it’s easy for them to get bent
out of shape.” -Craig Ferguson

G U A R A N T E D T O M A K E Y O U L A F F….
An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a, “Thanks for flying XYZ airline.” He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally, everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said, “Sonny, did we land or were we shot down?”

Friday’s Movie Trivia of the day!‘ How much movie trivia can you answer?
What movie is this quote from??? “Anybody know this joint?” “Yeah, sure, I do. It’s perfect for us. A small family place, good food. Everyone minds his business. It’s perfect. Pete, they got an old-fashion’ toilet — you know, the box, and – and – and – ah the chain thing. We might be able to tape the gun behind it.”

Answer: The Godfather! In this scene Corleone family member Sonny (James Caan) has just received information from one of his informants as to where a proposed meeting is to be held and asks other family members about it with line one. Mob boss Virgil Sollozzo (Al Lettieri), Police Capt. Mark McCluskey (Sterling Hayden) and Corleone family member Michael (Al Pacino) are supposed to meet in a restaurant in the Bronx (part of New York City). This meeting had been set up by Sollozzo for what Capt. McCluskey and Sollozzo think is going to be a discussion over dinner to clear up any misunderstanding with Michael. However, Michael wants to kill them both and the discussion that follows centers on how a gun can be smuggled in to the meeting. Salvadore “Sally” Tessio (Abe Vigoda) suggests a way with line two. Sonny then says, “Hey, listen, I want somebody good — and I mean very good — to plant that gun,” and Pete Clemenza (Richard Castellano) assures him, “The gun’ll be there.” “The Godfather” follows the lives of a fictional American crime family, but many of the incidents in the story are based on incidents from real life.

In the 1973 Academy Awards “The Godfather” won three Oscars, including Best Picture. Marlon Brando won Best Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of Godfather Don Vito Corleone, but refused to accept the award. Al Pacino, James Caan, and Robert Duvall were all nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for their portrayal of the Godfather’s three sons, but none of them won the Oscar (it was won by Joel Grey in “Cabaret”). The first sequel (“The Godfather: Part II”) is the first sequel ever to have won Best Picture in the Academy Awards.
