June 6
OK. Just so I’m keeping you totally up to date with the WW - I didn’t skip, we had a week off. I did, however, miss this Monday’s weigh in, so MR and I went this morning instead. Happily, we were recognized from previous WW-lives by the girl taking the money, and she didn’t charge us for missing a week (the deal is, you have to pay for every week, even if you don’t make it to a meeting…keeps folks from not going when they don’t think they’ve lost weight) so that was very nice. Like you care. Here are this week’s results:
Weigh In: 219 lbs., -2.2 lbs.
So, its tougher going this time around, but at least I’m losing weight, right? That is, until this weekend… MR and I travel back to Auburn for fun with old friends. Which, of course, always involves unhealthy habits. Isn’t that part of the fun?
And now, would the real slim shady please stand up and pay this fine? Thank God we have the FCC to keep us all decent and moral.
“The edited version of the song contains unmistakable offensive sexual references. In this regard, portions of the lyrics contain sexual references in conjunction with sexual expletives that appear intended to pander and shock,” the FCC said.
Hello, censorship, how’ve you been? Now, the radio station did violate the FCC’s Safe Harbor rule, but I thought that had kinda gone out anyway… I mean, you can say all kinds of things on the radio now even some of George Carlin’s Seven Deadly words.
When I was a DJ in college we had to memorize them… in order to avoid them, of course. We recited them as a chant:
shitpisscuntfuckmotherfuckerassandIcouldneverrememberthelastone…
Oh well, so much for all that…but seriously, I’m bothered that the FCC would levy this fine at all, and that they waited this long to do it. How old is that song?
Today is the anniversary of D-Day. My wife’s grandfather was a paratrooper in the 82nd airborne (or the 101st, I can never remember which - and my grandfather served in both) and he was a pathfinder - one of a group of volunteers who jumped into Normandy days before the Allies landed and set the beach markers for our troops. He went in at night, landed alone, was stuck in a tree, and after taking care of his work, hid from the enemy until the Allies caught up with him.
