What folks are Googlin' this morning
"century 21 stores"- Century 21 Department Store in NYC is the #1 search this morning because of "budget week" on The View. Every designer outfit worn by the ladies yesterday was purchased for less than a $100 from Century 21. Here's the website to window shop

"erica Blasberg" - 25-year old LPGA golfer Erica Blasberg was found dead at her home in Henderson, Nevada Sunday evening. Although her father reported that she may have taken her own life, police are investigating. ESPN is reporting that police responded to a 911 call, but no word on who made that call. Blasberg played her only LPGA Tour event of the year two weeks ago in Mexico. LPGA spokesman David Higdon called her death a "tough hit" for women's golf.
"frank frazetta"- Fantasy artist Frank Frazetta died yesterday after suffering a stroke the night before. He was 82. He's best known for his illustrations in the "Conan" series in the 1960's.

What do your fellow humans do that make them look immature... you just want to scream "GROW UP!"
When you hear a 40-year old man cussing up a storm in casual conversation, does that make him appear:
A) Unique
B) Funny
C) ...like a complete idiot that needs to grow up
If your answer is B, then you need to log off and do your homework.
From AskMen.com, here's a great rundown of why adults need to stop talking like they're in a locker room 24 -7.
- It's adolescent - As a teen it was an act of rebellion and helped you fit in...this just in: you're not a teen anymore
- It makes you look stupid - If your first word grab is a swear word, then "you have a fundamental inability to express yourself well."
- Swearing is inconsiderate - It comes across as aggressive and intimidating.
- You can't take swearing back - One it flies out of your mouth, the damage has been done. "Imagine going on a first date with a beautiful woman, and letting an expletive slip. That could well be the last time you ever see her."

BLOG COMMENTS/REACTION:
- The only people who are bothered by profanity in two thousand ten are Christians zealots. In regard to women as long as it's not done in anger or excessively you'll be just fine. 2010 not 1910
- Íf someone's offended by my choice of words, I could care less
- People who think that "swearing" or "cussing" is bad, are the ones who have not grown up and evolved.
- If you want to stand out as a man amongst boys, clean up you language
- I never noticed how much I swear until my wife started doing it after picking it up from me. I now make an effort to check my swearing.
If five years ago someone said you'd be doing (what) to make money, you would've laughed in their face... but...
We've got a new buzzword! It's a word that describes a growing group of people that have given up trying to find the perfect job, and instead make a living doing a series of small jobs, or gigs. The word: Gigonomics. How many hats are you wearing to bring home the bacon?
When it comes to (what), you feel completely out of touch. What is it for you?
What has completely passed you by? Well get caught up, otherwise you'll sound like Andy Rooney: "I don't know who Lady Gaga is"

"There's a crisis brewing, but it has nothing to do with the economic deficit or the current political uncertainty. Scientists are warning that rising levels of male infertility have become so perilous that it is a serious 'public health issue'. And some go even further... men are on a path to becoming completely infertile within a few generations."
WHO SAID IT?
"I went up in their estimation from the first night on set, when I was called on to shoot a flaming arrow, missed my mark and hit a light, which duly exploded...I mean, how many mums do stuff like that?"

JOKE OF THE DAY
A teacher instructs her fifth-grade class to ask their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end.
The next day the kids come in and share their stories: "My daddy told me about my uncle Dave," says one boy. "He was a pilot in Vietnam and had to bail out over enemy territory with nothing but a flask of whisky, a pistol and a knife. He drank the whisky during the drop, then landed in the middle of 20 enemies. He shot 15, stabbed 3 and killed the last 2 with his bare hands."
"What is the moral of this horrible story?" yelps the mortified teacher.
"Stay away from Uncle Dave when he's drinking."
