Friday’s Popular Conversation Topics
We have entered that special time of year, that usually shows us consumerism at its highest demand and honesty at its lowest.Yes, I watch the stock market and at this time of the year there is often a few weird selling patterns that appear consisting of the everyday man-woman-investor cashing in to pay the anticipated bills of the season.
I’m not talking just cash for gift buying. Business people need cash (liquidity) for the new calendar year, parents need to pay the bills for the upcoming school semester. Hell, maybe a guy plans for a very special Valentine’s Day to be pre-paid after the big marriage proposal surprise on Christmas Eve (I did that one).
Sadly, the world markets are out of control, real investor values are all over the board and that doesn’t include the run on the stock market still to come, knocking of hundreds from the stock market indexes in what are normally slow, almost no ripple trading sessions until after the new year.
And all of this leads up to the stories you need to know about so you have some awesome current events to share at the dreaded office party or that lonely corner bar stool tonight. Read and enjoy, here we go!
- Too sexy for that veggie. An Islamic cleric living in Europe reportedly has warned Muslim women not to get too close to bananas, cucumbers or other produce — to avoid having “sexual thoughts.” Hahahahaha ho. Gotta wonder which “western video” sent this cleric holy man onto this particular line of thought. I know it’s not the same guy that said women shouldn’t drive because it may affect their virginity.
- “I never intended to break the rules.” For a final payout of $12.1 million dollars I wouldn’t know too much about my bankrupt company either. Just saying….
- This is the guy in the running for Last Place Criminal Dufus of the yYear. There’s a video, below, too. But essentially dude snoops on his girlfriend’s teen daughter’s phone, found a nude pick of her and sexted the picture to almost 40 of her contacts to “teach her a lesson”. I can only guess that a couple of the kids might say the photo is old news but this guy has a fun time in store for the holidays and I hope he remembers his “soap on a rope”.
- Where would we be without a heart-fely gift shopping story? Right here is the answer. Dude with a .322 blood alcohol level is arrested for trying to steal 2 big screen TVs from Wal-Mart while he’s wearing the same coat he stole two days earlier from said store. They never said if it was the booze or the greed that gave him away. Too bad, one of those TVs was supposed to be my holiday gift!
- This will not be abused because it’s lobbyists and politicians making gift giving rules for lobbyists and politicians to receive gifts from one and another in time to give and receive this holiday season. Albeit belatedly because the new rules start January 1, 2012. State lawmakers and city council members can accept expensive gifts from lobbyists without disclosure if they are dating, and can receive meals and lodging in lobbyists’ homes without telling the public, under rules approved Thursday by the state ethics agency.
I told you it was a special time of year.

Body Building: What Are Your Goals?
It’s all about the respect you have for your body and the goals you want to set for a healthier 2012. Or maybe you’re concerned about the health of a family member or close friend. Better health leads to a more active lifestyle and sometimes you just need to provide a little push and the person will run with your healthy lifestyle idea. And running doesn’t have to be the idea! The truth is that many people simply need direction to get them started and positive reinforcement followup and the results (changes are often visible within the first 4 to 6 weeks!) will show quickly. The ball is in your hand, will you “run” with it or will you drop the ball and not make the effort? |
Dating Profile Headline of the Day: Halloween Party

Have safe Halloween fun!
Most adults, and a helluva lot of teens, will be partying tonight for Halloween.
If you’re not dressed for the occasion there aren’t that many places you can go to without crossing paths with ghouls, goblins and a host of other scary and strange costumes like Charlie Sheen and Thor.
One way or another this time of year brings all the best, and worst, out of people and televised entertainment. Egging houses, begging for candy without giving back a trick, the list really does go on and on. LOL
But have safe fun, you never know what evil lurks in the hearts of men…. safe fun will keep you safe.
For your profile headline today try this:
“Really, I’m not scary, I just dress this way.”
Have a great day!
