"Bubba" is the former President of the United States, Bill Clinton. His administration was tarnished by the discovery of an affair (or, um, "almost" affair) that Mr. Clinton had with an intern who worked in his office. He still is the subject (fairly or unfairly) of many bits of innuendo and off color humor because of the events that happened during his administration.
I'm not a fan of Ariana Grande (sp?) simply because I have no idea who she IS! She's a generation or two younger than I am. It didn't seem to stop Bubba, though!
Oh yes, I've been familiar with Robert Cray for a long time. He had a song entitled "Smoking Gun" in the mid to late 1980s, as well as "Porch Light," and many others. John Mayer has made a point of championing the old school blues artists like Buddy Guy, as they made little money during their career, and they were Mr. Mayer's heroes.
The store where I work has a brand of premium ice creams that can be rather expensive, so I have to wait until they're on sale....like NOW! Currently I have Columbian Coffee in my freezer, as well as chocolate peanut butter. (The peanut butter in that ice cream must have extra sugar in it, and you have to wait for it to melt in your mouth before it's soft enough to eat. Truly decadent!)
Vanilla ice cream is AMAZING in the center of a cantaloupe, in August or September. (Just sayin'....)
Despite my best efforts, my blood pressure seems to climb steadily, an I'm at the point now where my PCP wants to go to a stronger med. Oh well...
From my understanding, one of the biggest causes of high blood pressure is....salt! (It's in LOTS of processed foods, too.) If you eat a lot of salt, drink lots of Gatorade, or similar, this is a major cause of high blood pressure. Unfortunately, I've become accustomed to tasting my food, and it may take awhile to get used to meals without much taste!
@miclee: Ah, the Two Minutes Hate. Before anybody had heard of 1984, or Big Brother. And there are SO MANY eligible candidates for the position these days!
You haven't said much at all about your new bike! I was curious to here how you're doing with it.
I just got my first ride in after about a month of abstaining; I've got a bad back that acts up every now and then, and on my last ride it acted up six miles or so into my ride. ( I don't go very far, between ten and 15 miles, but it's better than nothing...) It felt good to get back out, especially since my vacation is over on Monday.
"Hall of Famer"?? MOI?!? Sheesh. I rarely blog(ged), seldom comment, and mostly sit back and watch the bedlam. Occasionally I'll throw a bone into the ring to watch the curs fight over it, then run back into the bushes (kinda like a Cambodian guerrilla! )
I always preferred Mickey's voice over Davey's. In later years, after Davey passed, somehow it sounded like he was a major stumbling block in the Monkees ever reuniting...but the Prefab Four was never a priority in rock and roll history, apparently.
Phil Collins, yep. Keith Moon, well that's news to me... Don Hendly? Unquestionably. Karen Carpenter? Of course.
Yeah. Corn on the cob, still in the husks. Soak the ears in water, then throw 'em on the grill (with or without aluminum foil), and let 'em steam until done. An awesome side dish is cantaloupe halves with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center. Burgers, chicken, and/or franks of some kind are a nice addition. Been a LOOONG time!
Yeah. That old "inter-office fraternization" thingy.
Whenever you get the "I'd LOVE to, but..." line, you need to shut it down IMMEDIATELY. Even though you still get the inviting smiles, the cutesie innuendo, or the little "I'm into YOU" waddle, you're just asking for trouble.
In a woman's case, on the receiving end, it kinda sounds like that guy's already begun to dig his own grave...
I've never had fresh mangoes. The closest I've come was the flavored mango Lifesavers from the tropical fruit roll (Yeah, I know....Not even close!). I've always wondered what I was missing...
You're right about Barbara Feldon, but I don't think I ever saw her in BAD light! She sure could've done better than Agent 86 (Maxwell Smart), and I always wondered why she never went on to bigger and better things. A cute, seductive voice to go along with the pretty face...mmm....
A while ago I was chatting with some customers about who remembers waiting...for the radio to "warm up". Wait--what?? Waiting for the RADIO to warm up?!? I got LOTS of blank stares...but a couple of knowing looks, TOO! Hell, I'm almost 60, and I barely remember that, but it's TRUE! You could kill 30 seconds, or MORE, waiting for the tubes in your radio to warm up.

Ahem."Bubba" is the former President of the United States, Bill Clinton.
