Remember that South Park episode where there was a controversy over the town flag? I present to you (really, this is the official town seal that can be found on the town website) the Whitesboro Town Seal:
Yes, it has been the subject of lawsuits, but they keep getting thrown out. It apparently is suppose to depict a famous (and friendly) wrestling match between the founder, a John White, and the local Indian chief. I think the artist failed to convey the nature of the event.
Apparently, the global downturn has resulted in a massive drop in demand for shipping. The result is a large number of transport ships are remaining idle, but are too valuable to scrap. As a result, a large “ghost fleet” of anchored ships has formed off the coast of Malaysia. The DailyMail has the story.
I really like orange gum. Loved orange Bubblicious as a kid, and the affinity stuck. I think orange Stride was about the best. But, despite the fact that it’s such a great, basic flavor, I just can’t find it. Look in the supermarket sometime for just “orange” gum. You just can’t find it. In it’s place is “citrus”, which is a combination of a bunch of flavors that usually make the gum taste like a nasty version of Hawaiian Punch.
I swear, all the gum lines and manufacturers are in cahoots to deny us orange gum. *None* of them offer orange – just versions on the citrus theme.
Apparently NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and FNC will be covering the Michael Jackson memorial live. The major networks will have their prime-time news anchors.
At least FOX News is keeping it to Shepard Smith (who tends to cover more pop-culture related news items anyways), and not involving their main news personalities. On second thought, if Sean Hannity were there, it would make for interesting viewing. And I can just imagine Charles Krauthammer diagnosing all the personality disorders on display . . .
