Kev's Klip of the Week

In the most technical sense, today's "klip" is really not a clip at all.

It is an animation.

However, since yesterday's "post" was not much of a post (sorry ... Tuesday I seemed to be suffering from a terrible case of mental constipation) ... I hope you can overlook it.

Last week, a stray kitten "appeared" at our door. Since the poor thing was hungry, we put some food out for it to eat and ... guess what?

Evidently, Cheryl and I are now adoptive parents (Matthew West should be writing a song about our experience any day now).

If you drop by the Hamilton house, keep an eye out for "JJ" (that stands for 'Jack Jr.' .. named after my daughter's all-black cat).

He hangs out in the back with all the other "cool cats."

"He hath filled the hungry with good things .."

- Luke 1:53

Beverly Hills Cop Out

Jerome Leon "Jerry" Bruckheimer (born September 21, 1945) is an American film and television producer who has achieved great success in the genres of action, drama, and science fiction.

His best known television series are CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Without a Trace, Cold Case, The Amazing Race, and Dark Blue.

Bruckheimer movies include Top Gun, The Rock, Con Air, Crimson Tide, Armageddon, Enemy of the State, Gone in 60 Seconds, Black Hawk Down, Pearl Harbor, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Prince of Persia.

Here is a "blast from the past" and one of my favorites from 1984 (the edited for television version, of course).

I even have the theme song as a ringtone!

Happy Birthday, Jerry!

The Battle of the Sexes: An Unfair Fight

Thirty seven years ago on this day (September 20, 1973), tennis great, Billie Jean King (age 29) defeated former Wimbledon men's singles champ, Bobby Riggs (age 55) at the Houston Astrodome in a match (not made in heaven, btw) billed as "The Battle of the Sexes."

Once again...

Girls rule. Guys drool.

That is just how things are.

There are differences between men and women (yes, I am very perceptive... and observant). The sooner guys learn this, the better... for everyone.

Matt Groening (cartoonist, screenwriter, producer and creator of The Simpsons) points out some of these differences in an article entitled, "Men vs Women."

Here are a few excerpts:

Maturity

Women mature much faster than men. Most 17-year-old females can function as adults. Most 17-year-old males are still trading baseball cards and giving each other wedgies after gym class. This is why high school romances rarely work.

Comedy

Let's say a small group of men and women are in a room, watching television, and an episode of "The Three Stooges" comes on. Immediately, the men will get very excited; they will laugh uproariously, and even try to imitate the actions of Curly, man's favorite stooge. The women will roll their eyes and groan and wait it out.

Handwriting

To their credit, men do not decorate their penmanship. They just chicken-scratch. Women use scented, colored stationary and they dot their "i's" with circles and hearts. Women use ridiculously large loops in their "p's" and "g's". It is a royal pain to read a note from a woman. Even when she's dumping you, she'll put a smiley face at the end of the note.

Bathrooms

A man has at most six items in his bathroom - a toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of Dial soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn. The average number of items in a typical woman's bathroom is 437. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.

Groceries

A woman makes a list of things she needs and then goes to the store and buys these things. A man waits till the only items left in his fridge are half a lemon and something turning green. Then he goes grocery shopping. He buys everything that looks good. By the time a man reaches the checkout counter, his cart is packed tighter that the Clampetts' car on Beverly Hillbillies. Of course, this will not stop him from going to the 10-items-or-less lane.

Going Out

When a man says he is ready to go out, it means he is ready to go out. When a woman says she is ready to go out, it means she WILL be ready to go out, as soon as she finds her other earring, finishes putting on her makeup...

Cats

Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.

Jewelry

Women look nice when they wear jewelry. A man can get away with wearing one ring, and that's it. Any more than that, and he will look like a lounge singer named Vic.

Plants

A woman asks a man to water her plants while she is on vacation. The man waters the plants. The woman comes home five days later, to an apartment full of dead plants. No one knows why this happens.

There, you have it guys.

Now do you see why we can never win... no matter what the circumstance?

Me neither.

Evidently, that's just the way God intended.

"It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house."

Silly Song Saturday

Eventually, I am going to run out of "Saturday material" from the good people at Big Idea and when that happens I will be forced to look elsewhere.

However, until that happens ...

Here's another silly song from the VeggieTales gang.

"And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses." - Exodus 3:4a

They Said It Couldn't Be Done ... So I Didn't Try

Feeling lazy, so ... no post today.

THE END.
