I'm just sayin...: Random Pics

Disclaimer

If you do not know me (I mean, really know me) then there is something you need to understand before you read this blog: I value the truth above everything else... except a good laugh. A good laugh will almost always beat the truth as far as I’m concerned. Everything you read on this blog will be true, somewhat true, or something I made up in an effort to get a laugh. Sometimes I will go on a rant that I don’t really mean (or only kind of mean). Sometimes I will mean what I write only to completely change my mind a year, month, or day later. Such is life. By reading this blog you agree not to get offended by anything I write (or, at the very least, you agree not to tell me or anyone else that you are offended). It is worth noting that my employer does not endorse my blog (or even read it, to tell you the truth). The Wife also does not endorse my blog (though she will read it from time to time). I am not paid to write this... it’s just my way of giving back to the community. I have, and will, touch on a wide range of subjects and will give my opinion on these subjects. Again, most of what I say is for laughs but every now and then I will say what I really think and feel (see my views on Westboro Baptist Cult). How will you know when I’m serious and when I’m trying to get a laugh? You’ll know. And if you don’t know, well... maybe this isn’t the best thing for you to be reading. So, sit back, read and enjoy. Leave comments if you want and don’t be afraid to publicly follow me.

Machinist First Class George F. Phillips (US Navy) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on June 2, 1898, on the U.S.S. Merrimac. His citation reads:

We don’t have a Fan Top 5 list scheduled to post today, so I will take a minute to talk about the lists we’ve seen so far. My friend Jenn had a GREAT show on her list (The West Wing), but I don’t think I’ve seen any of the other shows on her list (though I have heard of all of them and know they are popular). Ashley’s top 2 shows are shows I like (The Big Bang Theory & Friends), but her other 3 aren’t really on my radar. I do like a few of her honorable mentions. My Uncle George had a handful of shows on his list that are more in my wheelhouse. I’m a little surprised that his list did not include a wrestling show… because I had to go to his house to watch wrestling when I was growing up (Dad didn’t let me watch it while he was home because he didn’t like it. And since he owned the TV and the house the TV was in, we watched what he wanted). My friend KC is the first one so far who has a list that top to bottom I like. I’ve seen them all and I like them all. I mean, those are some GREAT shows. I can’t wait to get back to posting the Fan lists tomorrow…

489 The Odd Couple 1970-1975

488 The Bachelor 2002-present I'm not really a fan of shows like this, but I know a lot of people are which is why it's where it is on the list.
