WELCOME to Thursday February 21, 2013. SNOW DAY, The Sky is Falling Again……
Once again Chicken Little the weather forecast guy is running around St. Louis giving the weather forecast that the sky is filled with snow, rain and sleet and it is falling! There’s a storm coming! All week this city has been preparing! The streets are filled with salt, salt, and more salt! The side are covered with…..wait for it…..salt! People have commenced to commit a run on the supermarkets and buy everything that they need to be able to survive inside there homes during this terrible storm. Schools are closed the City hall offices have been shut down and on top of all that the governor of the mighty state of Missouri have commenced to calling this a state of emergency.
Now with all of this commotion going on you would think that the sky is rightfully falling! The truth of the matter is that we have received a whole lot-ta nothing! If you look outside, it’s doing nothing! I find it amazing that the weather forecast person is the only job WHERE YOU CAN BE TOTALLY WRONG and still keep your job! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a great Thursday people, and whatever you do today, don’t get lost in the snow and don’t forget to LAUGH IT UP! Peace I am outta here, Eucman!

My wife and I were going through a rough patch financially, but we kept ourselves same by repeating, “As long as we have each other, we don’t need anything else.” But when the television in our bedroom broke and we couldn’t afford to repair or replace it, my wife lost it. “That’s just great!” she shouted. “Now there’s no entertainment in our bedroom at all!”

Answer: Shrek! In “Shrek” (2001), Shrek the ogre teams up with Donkey, a talking donkey, to rescue a princess, Fiona. Shrek does this as a favor for Lord Farquuad, so that Farquuad will clear all the fairy tale creatures out of Shrek’s swamp, where he lives. Donkey sees Shrek’s swamp and shack when he first meets Shrek and follows him home. He first says the place looks like a dump, not realizing that it was Shrek’s home, then tries to cover it up with compliments. “Shrek” was followed by “Shrek 2” (2004) and “Shrek the Third” (2007).
Thursday’s Movie Trivia of the day! ‘How much movie trivia can you answer?
What movie is this quote from??? “With the All Spark gone, we cannot return life to our planet. And fate has yielded its reward: a new world to call home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage, and though we are worlds apart, like us, there’s more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars. We are here. We are waiting.”?
