"Top Ten Party Schools"

Methinks every college might be a party school. Not sure how Playboy determined the top ten but must have been a great assignment for the writers.

My old school/alma mater made the list. The year after I graduated I was still there when the streaking craze was at full tilt. And they've been partying ever since.

"Turn Out the Lights-the Party's Over"

I missed the end of the debacle-Seahawks vs. Packers-last nite, when I turned it off before the final play.

The replacement refs are a joke. The ref who called the final play a touchdown is a high school referee. You get what you pay for, eh?

Hopefully, the real refs will be back soon. The games are hard to watch!

"Beginnings: CTA"

One of my favorite songs from Chicago. I love the brass finale. Only the beginning.....

"from Russia With Love"

 The second installment in the James Bond franchise. Notice how movies are classified as franchises these days. Friday the 13th; Halloween; Star Wars; the Bourne movies, etc.

The theme song for the Bond movie was sung by Matt Monro. Huh? In '62 the crooners were still the rage. I do like the song-kind of a period piece.

Lotte Lenya and Robert Shaw-he of the "you were on the Indianapolis" saga-play the bad guys.

P.S. One of my favorite Bond movies.

"Entertainment Weekly 50 Years of Bond"

To me there's only one James Bond. Forget Roger Moore. 4 get Timothy Dalton. Ditto for George Lazenby. Who? Pierce Brosnan. Huh? Daniel Craig-I can tolerate him more than the others. But there's only one Bond, James Bond. Sean Connery, of course.

  

What is the most appropriate gift you could give Brit super spy and martini aficionado James Bond to celebrate 50 years of big screen 007 adventures? A cake in the shape of a gun? A gun in the shape of a cake? A new liver? Or…How about an entire issue of Entertainment Weekly devoted to the half century of espionage-themed pleasure the Bond franchise has given the world since Sean Connery defined the role of 007 — and Ursula Andress defined the ideal way to wear a bikini — in 1962′s Dr. No?

"Books Never Written"

I remember "Under the Grandstands" by Seymour Butts; and "Herded Cattle on the North Forty" by Bob Wire; and "My Body Aches" by Arthur Ritis, but here's a few this author has never heard of:

"A Guide to Pharmeceuticals" by Sue E. Sidle

"I Didn't Do It" by Ivan Alibi

“Improve Your Reading” by Ken Hardly Reed
“Is O.J. Guilty?” By Howard I. Know
“Something Fishy” by Ann Chovie
The extensive list of books never written appears here

"Ducks Cross Highway 407"

Reminds me of the old joke: 50 yards to the outhouse by Will E. Makeit.

Do the ducks make it? Check out the video.
