Rick's Launching Pad

Attention-grabbing isn’t it?

I really have nothing to post about. After all, it’s Friday, and nobody reads blogs over the weekend anyway.

So here’s a few tidbits for you to ponder:

‚Ä¢ If you’re selling something on Ebay, and you hate the person who gave it to you, use this as a guide for your pitch. You’ll be guaranteed a sale. (Thanks to WaterColourBoy for the tip.)

• If you love Twinkies and Butternut Bread, better hurry. Their bakeries are in trouble. They may not be around much longer. Carb-Conscious folks are jumping for joy.

• What happens when you land a spaceship in the middle of a classic, architecturally significant football field?

It loses its landmark status, that’s what happens. Trust me, they deserve it. As fabulous as Millennium Park is, (something the city did RIGHT), Soldier Field is a complete eyesore on the Lakeshore. (Wrong. VERY WRONG.) It’s sad.

‚Ä¢ London without the double-decker bus? What’s next? L.A. without the smog?

‚Ä¢ The latest election results: Kerry’s ahead, 2-0. Of course, that’s all null and void if this report comes true.

‚Ä¢ And finally, if you’re this guy, (who must be a fan of Prince,) you’ll never have to worry if anyone is talking about you. You know that they are. Er… That those people are, that is.

What a wild world we live in.
