TV Theme Tuesday... can you name the show by it's opening theme? PLAY
Answer: Raising Hope!
A guy is passing a Mental Hospital surrounded by a wall and he hears the chanting inside, Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!
Curious to see what’s going on he finds a small hole in the wall, so he bends and peeks inside. Someone inside pokes him hard in the eye and everyone starts inside chanting, Fourteen! Fourteen! Fourteen!
all together now: "how bad is it?"
...the pollution is so bad in China, that you can actually buy cans of fresh air! No joke. For 80 cents, you can pop open a soda-like can of fresh air. 3 great flavors, too: "Taiwan," "Tibet," and "Yan'an!"
The cans are actually social statement by the guy that's selling them about the country's declining environmental conditions. "If we don't start caring for the environment, then after 20 or 30 years our children and grandchildren might be wearing gas masks and carry oxygen tanks," said Chen Guangbiao, who is reportedly worth $740 million (not from canned air!).
Boy, I'd like to open one of these and throw it in the (station) bathroom after (PM drive jock) walks out!
Sorry...
If you're trying to lose weight, don't put too much stock into sex as a calorie burner. A University of Alabama study found the average sex act burns only 21 calories. This goes against long standing claims that sex is a vigorous, fat burning workout.
The only "vigorous" aspect to sex is getting someone to have it with me!
7 instant ways to zap stress...
Ready to tear someone's head off? Instead of going to jail, try one of these simple stress busters. There is proof that each one of these will calm your nerves:
- Take a walk
- Call a friend
- Write in a journal
- Play a board game
- Work up a sweat (exercise)
- Plan something fun (a trip or dinner date)
- Take a hot bath
Facebook/phones: It may sound strange to us, but what do you do to handle stress?
Little jerks = full price!
Good idea? A contributor to Reddit posted a receipt from a restaurant that included a $4 discount for "well-behaved kids." Sweet gesture that I'm sure the parents appreciated, right? But does this send a dangerous message? The Stir doesn't like it and here's why:
--"Eating out with children is already filled with plenty of pressure for parents"
--" Every raised voice, every dropped spoon can make a mom feel like all eyes in the joint are searing into her"
-- There needs to be a certain amount of tolerance for families
Plus, what about the parents that feel their little angels were perfect and still didn't receive the discount? Does the restaurant really want to quarrel with an angry mom?
Facebook/Phones: What about you? Would you like to see a discount for well-behaved children? Is this a good idea or does The Stir bring up some good points?

Hey there, I welcome your feedback and comments, but will not tolerate jackass behavior. If that's what you're into, head over to YouTube. Thanks again for leaving a thought....
