Hiway29, How do you come up with this kind of information? Is it just a good memory or do you have some secret place on the internet you access? :). I was perusing today's newspaper and seeing all the names of people who had died in 2007. A couple caught my eye because I hadn't read of their deaths this year. The first was Bruce Bennett who was 100 years old. That name might not sound familiar to you guys as it didn't to me either right off but he played 'Cody', the American who happens into the camp of Bogart and the other two. He had said that he wished he had had a larger part in the movie as he got killed off pretty soon. The other person who I hadn't heard about is really just a trivia question answer... Vilma Ebsen. She and her brother Buddy Ebsen were famous dancers in New York and vaudeville before their going to Hollywood. They made just two movies together before she went back to New York so I know why she wouldn't be remembered today. What struck me was that she was 96 years old and Buddy had lived to a ripe old age as well. I guess so much of that is in the genes. Look at Earnest Borgnine.. he's in his 90's and still active. If you looked at his heavy physique you'd have thought he would have been a good candidate for a heart attack. Also, he smoked cigarettes though I bet he gave up that habit. sudo

Hammoroni, Two years, yeah, but I'm still available for anniversaries, birthdays and tupperware parties. sudo

Pond, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I post only what affects me personally... sudo

Likeaneagle, Thank you.. did you click on each reindeer?? Its a treat. sudo (waiting for his sleepy head family to get up for Christmas!)

Give a minute to load.. then click where indicated. sudo

Its time for the musical reindeer I love to post! All you Greasespot old timers have seen this but its probably the first time our new guys have seen it. Start listening and then... one by one... click on each of the reindeer. sudo

Rachel, Welcome to the Greasespot Cafe. I don't know how to tell you how all to use all the bells and whistles other than to say just play with it. Just keep replying on this thread and try out stuff. Click on the funny faces. Click on Quick Access and whatever else you see. In no time, you'll be posting like a pro but until then... nobody here judges you on your computer skills. sudo

That isn't a Beatle song that was made into a movie is it? sudo

Linda, Sure thing. This link gets them the web page version: http://www.bestviral.com/video/6629/dont_e...m_hotel_glasses I'm glad this "dirty little secret" in the hotel industry is getting the attention it deserves. As I posted, even the employees in the hotel weren't aware that room glasses didn't get washed. Oh, the follow up video where they go to the really exclusive hotels is on that site, too, in fine print. Here's that link: http://www.bestviral.com/video/7380/dirty_...crets_follow_up sudo

Someone just e-mailed me a live link so I downloaded it this time. Here it is for those of you who didn't get to see.. sudo

A Christmas card I received at the office that I thought was beautiful sudo

Rev. Groucho, But what about my sister who loves Drambuie?? Should I send her to your place to receive enlightenment? Or would you prefer to call on her yourself in your motorcoach? I know you'd really like to bless her. sudo

Pirate, Do North Carolina teams have to keep winning for you to grace us with a post? Where you keeping yourself? sudo

I got a note from Eyesopen about this site where you can "elf" yourself and send it around as e-mail. Here's me! http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1374388914 . I was going to include my three kids and Suda but they let you upload only 4 people. Give it a minute to load but kinda' neat, huh? Say Eyesopen.. didn't you also have a ScroogeYourself site?? sudo

Groucho, Where can I send you my money? I want to know about the "Ever Present Truth And You" that you offer. I know you don't have any serious religious credentials but that doesn't deter me from wanting to give you my money. After I take your "own special class" can you send me out to do missionary work so I can get blessed? I'd love doing door to door proselytizing for you. If you don't think I'm worthy, I have a sister that loves Drambuie. sudo

Hi Noni! Long time no see but its good to see that you are doing well. As far as Christmas traditions, you can make them up as your family grows. You are not married and have no children, right? Then it might be harder but if you're planning on family it becomes a lot easier. Lots of families have a "little something" on Christmas Eve like opening just one present or sitting by the tree with all the other lights off drinking egg nog. Some put the children to bed early because Santa is coming and he won't stop if the children are awake. Lots of churches have Christmas Eve midnight services so that rules out going to bed early. Its just all up to what YOU would like to be in your Christmas traditions, Noni. Don't worry about it too much because this is something where there is no right or wrong... You can't mess it up. I have to admit I LOVE this time of year myself. Merry Christmas, girl! sudo

LATE BREAKING NEWS: Newborn found naked in barn -- Police and Social Services Investigate Carpenter from Nazareth; Under-age delusional mother arrested, charged with criminal neglect. Dateline Bethlehem, Judea In the early morning hours of December 25. authorities were notified by an alarmed citizen. He discovered a young family, who lives in a barn. Upon arrival, the investigators of the social services division, who were supported by local police, found a newborn baby-boy, who after having been delivered by his 14-year mother, lying in container for cattle feed. Also arrested were three foreign nationals who identified themselves as "wise men from a near-eastern country". The Secretary of the Interior as well as customs and immigration authorities are currently trying to establish the exact whereabouts of said three man, who apparently are in the country illegally, and may be charged with terrorism. A police spokesperson informed the press that these men do not have any identification papers with them. However, they were in possession of gold, as well as other illegal substances. They resisted arrest and claimed that God had asked them to return to their home and to refuse to make statements to the police as well as to avoid any contact with government agencies. The chemicals that have been found along with the illegals have been send to a police forensic lab for further examination. The whereabouts of the newborn have thus far not been released. A fast investigation and conclusion of this case appears to have been forgone. After inquiries from the press, an employee of the social services agency stated that "the father is of middle age and the mother is definitely not an adult. We are checking with the authorities in Nazareth, what relationship these two have with each other." Maria meanwhile is at Bethlehem County hospital for further medical and psychological exams. She has to expect to be prosecuted for criminal negligence of an infant. Her mental state will be further examined as she claims not only that she was still a virgin, but also that the infant was God's son. In the meantime, she is being medicated with the most powerful anti-psychotic drugs Big Pharma can provide. An official bulletin from the head of the department of psychiatry states that, "it is not my position to tell these people, what they should believe. However, if they believe, as this in this case, lead to the endangerment of a newborn, we have to consider these parents as delusional and dangerous. Finally, the following information was revealed: the shepherds on location continue to maintain that a large man wearing pajamas and two wings had asked them to find a stable and let the newborn live after he was born. A spokesperson of the drug enforcement agency stated, "This is probably the most stupid and ridiculous excuse of a full-fledged junkie that I have ever heard in my life." sudo

Belle, Yep.. I not only got it but am sending it your way!! sudo

Ciythog, Thanks.. I had no idea WHO she was. It makes you wonder why anybody would pay attention to anything an entertainment celebrity would have to say concerning current events. Yet the media can't wait to quote George Clooney, Barbra Streisand or Sean Penn.... because folks eat it up. sudo

Belle, Here's one I got in e-mail today... Snowball fight!!!!!!!!! sudo

Does anyone watch this "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" show? Do they screen these people for stupid? Do they ESPECIALLY look for dumb blonde Southeners? Does anyone know this lady? She's playing "for charity" which says she is probably some kind of celebrity.. Just take a look: http://www.koreus.com/video/blonde-europe-pays.html sudo

And if it ever gets taken down from YouTube... I ripped it to my hard drive in FLV format. We'll ALWAYS have evidence here at Greasespot about that awful production. sudo (who really enjoyed the parody)

Glad to see everybody's getting into the Christmas mood. This next one was sent to me by Oakspear so you can't blame ME for it.. oh no.. he made me post it!! sudo
