Hey Fat Guy - Keep Your Shirt On!!

Hey Silverhoners! C'mon in! The water's warm! Not a bad day around the Silverhorn Mountain, a little windy, but the rain held off and we even had a little sun this afternoon..at least I think it as the sun, I've seen it so seldom this year I'm never sure. There are two reasons for that, the first is because we have had a lot of overcast rainy days so far, and the second is because I am usually locked in the Blog Creation Space, here at Silverhorn Lodge. Unfortunately, the Blog Creation Space is in behind the furnace, in a windowless basement room.

Well first off, a thank you to "Musicman" for his comment on last night's story concerning Ken Jennings and his assault on Jeopardy and Alex Trebek. Musicman has suggested I read the actual letter that Ken wrote concerning Jeopardy. I would do that Musicman, but...that would mean I need a copy of the letter, I would have to give a damm, and it's far more fun to just run with a germ of an idea, not what actually happened.....Unlike the guy on let me see, I believe the name of the show was 'One Adam 12" who said, "Just the facts Ma'am" I tend to say, "Skip the facts Ma'am, we do our own research and come to our own conclusions here on Silverhorn Mountain. As we speak our researchers are trying to find out what Alex Trebek's handlers have programed him to say as a response to Jennings.

Now get this one...The Daily Mail in Britain is reporting that hot summer temperatures are leading lawmakers in the United Kingdom to consider a ban on middle aged men going shirtless. I suppose that's better than banning women from going shirtless, no mention of that in the news report....whew!

A government Minister has said that middle aged guys without shirts are scaring shoppers away from the shopping district. I can't help but wonder if the middle aged guys are shopping for shirts??

The government spokesperson even made the statement that "the men who like to bare their stomachs are the ones who have too much stomach." Guys...can you spell diskrimination? I mean discramination...well anyway...I bet if the fat guys let the stores print advertisements on their stomachs, they might not mind. So fat guys...if you want to go shirtless, sell advertising space on your tummy, you might make a buck....I'd stay away from ads for weight loss companies though....

Well I over slept this morning, so I am going to cut this short. Marcello, Chief Garden Gnome here at the Silverhorn Lodge, can't be counted on to wake me up anymore now that he is a picture about to appear on a tee shirt. He sleeps in himself, claiming he is a model, and needs his beauty rest.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, our GLAAM Girl, Maggie, tried out the face recognition program that confused me with...well....oh alright, Elton John. Maggie emailed to advise it matched her up with Britney Spears...Britney friggin Spears...I get Elton John....

Well, I guess I better put my shirt on, don't want to get arrested..there is some good news though! The British lawmakers seem to have overlooked the requirement for middle aged fat guys to wear their pants.....Yee Haw!!

I was riding around Silverhorn Village in my Sports Utility Vehicle yesterday and saw a man eating grass by the roadside. So naturally curious guy that I am, I had to ask why he was eating the grass. He told me he didn't have any money for food. I felt pretty bad for the poor old fellow, so I invited him over to the Lodge. He told me he had a wife and 4 kids. Magnaminous kinda guy that I am, (as you all know) I told him to bring them along, the grass is over three feet tall at the Lodge!
