Must be a full moon

Yesterday saw a few crazy headlines, including:
Motley Crue Guitarist Undergoes Hip-Replacement Surgery

A few things occur to me. First, at some point it might be prudent to stop referring to Mick Mars as "Motley Crue Guitarist." That would be like calling me "Cardinal Red Striker" in reference to my role on my 8-year-old SAY Soccer team. Motley Crue hasn't exactly been extremely prolific recently. "Former Motley Crue Guitarist" I could accept. Second, one of the members of one of the baddest ass heavy metal bands in history is having his hip replaced. I used to listen to Motley Crue, and I thought they were awesome. This makes me feel ridiculously old. It's only a matter of time before we see the headline "Hillary Duff has cancerous lump removed from breast."

The second crazy headline is:
Former NFL Kicker Sought In Shooting at Sigfried and Roy Home

Could the news be any more ridiculous? The only thing that would make this story more surreal is if the second line read "Pornstar Jenna Jameson witnesses the event while riding by on a unicycle." Posted by mill1991 at October 8, 2004 10:23 AM | TrackBack

Must be a full moon beacuse you just fell off the "Blogs with the most entries" list on the UThink directory page.

...and thus begins my descent into irrelevance. I can't keep up with these class blogs with 10 posts a day. If you ask me, this blog has been on the downslide since the end of summer anyways.

Tim -
I hear you are wise like the old indian man, well answer this one for me. Why do meterologist, heck, and everyone else for that fact, call the warm days in October, Indian Summer? What do the indians have to do with warm fall weather? I don't see the connection. Also, are their native american tribes out there protesting againt weathermen who use the terminology "Indian Summer"? Do they find it offensive?
Regards and enjoy your Indian Summer!
