In Like A Lion, "I'll Have The Prune Milkshake" & Donny Osmond
Figures that the one time the weatherman is right is when he predicts a major snowfall. I actually went to bed last night thinking the worst was over. I woke up at 3:30, looked outside and thought I was in Alaska. My usual 10-minute ride to the studio took 30 minutes. The good news is that there was NOBODY else on the road. I was the only idiot out there. Smith Station Road hadn't been touched and even with my Jeep, I couldn't go over 20 miles per hour without fishtailing. I got on to Courthouse Road and thought that would be better, but I was wrong. They plowed it, but it didn't appear to have been salted or sanded. As opposed to snowy, it was icy, which is even worst. Hopefully, you were among the people who were able to stay home today. It's supposed to be extremely cold tonight, so we can expect icy conditions again tomorrow, so be prepared.
A rather embarrassing moment for Joe The Plumber. Last week, he was doing a book signing at Border's Books at 18th & L Streets in Downtown D.C. The problem is that only 11 people showed up.
I didn't even know he wrote a book. What's it called? Politics And Butt Cracks?
Here's some interesting health news: Geneticists at New York's University of Rochester are working on a way to help people replace lost teeth by growing new ones. They discovered that a single gene is responsible for suppressing the growth of new teeth. Sharks don't have it, so they grow multiple rows of teeth as backups. They bred lab mice that had the same type of gene as sharks, and found they developed extra sets of molars. A spokesperson for the university said, "It's exciting. We've got a clue what to do to switch the tooth-growing process back for adults who've lost teeth." So, the bottom line here, is some day, you could have rows and rows of teeth like a shark
His name is Reed Harris, His girlfriend's name is Katlin Whipple. He also wanted to pull the old surprise proposal bit, so on a recent trip to Wendy's, he slipped the engagement ring into her Frosty Milkshake. Imagine his surprise when she drank the whole thing, INCLUDING THE RING!!!!!!! He rushed her to the hospital, where x-rays verified she swallowed the ring.
So, how did it all turn out? Well, thanks to a bag of prunes and a box of high-fiber cereal, this crisis did "pass", if you get my meaning. How did she answer the proposal question? she said, "Yes". I'm assuming she asked for another ring. I would. "Yes, I'll marry you, but I'm going to need another ring." By the way, how do you like the way this guy takes his girl to Wendy's to propose to her? A real high roller, isn't he? As Jeff Foxworthy would say (Come on, let's all say it together)...............YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK IF YOU PROPOSE TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND AT WENDY'S.
Authorities in Fort Pierce, Florida arrested a man who claimed he was justified in stealing candy at a truck stop because he had served in the military. Police said an officer confronted a 31-year-old man at the truck stop early Monday morning. The officer reported finding several packages of candy and nuts, two black T-shirts and a 20 oz. bottle of beer in his pockets, which the store clerk said he hadn't paid for. The police report stated that while in the patrol vehicle, the man screamed out the window that he had served in the military over in Iraq and could steal all the M&M'S he wanted. If President OH-bama hears about this, he'll announce plans to prevent this from happening again in the future by giving ALL Americans free M & M'S.

Many years ago, I was a bartender. I was tending bar at a place called The Villa Liberty in South Brunswick, New Jersey. One night, I had a couple in their thirties at the bar. He was all over her like a cheap suit, trying to mug it up with her every chance he got. She was obviously not into the "public display of affection". At one point, she got up to go to the ladies room. That's when I noticed him drop something into her drink. I didn't know quite what to do about this. I didn't know whether to confront the situation myself or call the manager or just call the police. I decided to tell my manager on duty and he decided to call the police, who arrived almost immediately. To make a long story short, it turns out that what this guy dropped in his date's drink was an extremely expensive engagement ring. He was going to propose to her when she returned from the ladies room, but the whole police thing kind of put a damper on the plan. I never did find out if she eventually said yes or no. Why do I tell you this story? Because it leads us into this couple.
