Good Morning Kix Country

This pic will make you think, and no it is NOT Photoshopped:  it's a shot of the Vatican being struck by lightning the same day as the Pope announced his retirement. Hmmmm...

 

New Internet Craze...expected shelf-life = 12 minutes!

 These internet fads come and go so fast that if you blink, you might miss this one too. Rest in peace planking, owling, tombstoning, horsemanning, teapottng, deading, koalaing, etc. Say hello to the "Harlem Shake."

BTW, this is by far the most annoying so far, so let's hope my twelve minute prediction is accurate! To participate, all you have to do is video record yourself and some peeps gyrating in a silly fashion to a terrible, terrible song called "Harlem Shake."

Apparently part of the charm (challenge?) is that at least one participant must be wearing a helmet of some kind. Here are some examples:

Here's the alleged "original" that supposedly started the whole thing

 

And now, whole offices and workplaces are getting into the act:

 

Valentine's Day help for men. And interesting article from askmen.com has broken down good gift ideas into one's that will please each of her senses.

One of the suggestions to stimulate the sensation of taste is a monthly membership to Milkmade Ice Cream Club which produces two unconvential ice cream flavours per month and then delivers it via bike to those who live in New York City.

Victoria Secrets is always a popular destination and this is a gift for those of us in Florida  who will be shopping for the upcoming holiday can actually purchase and afford. The article suggests the Angel Lotion line which goes for twenty bucks a piece, great gift for us floridans who are not acclimated to the occasicanl cold weather which comes and goes until spring is fully in effect...

An excellent choice to provide an idea atmosphere during Valentines Day evening would be to purchase this box set by Phil Spector which will provide a soundtrack for the night with your signifgant other or the one you are courting that will last for years to come.

One of the most famous sterotypes for a woman would be that she wants a man who can make her laugh, that is why this DVD featuring the very talented Louis C.K.i heavily recommended as a great gift for the holiday...

I'm very excited about this weekend's National Florida Mopar Weekend car show at the Elk's Lodge in Punta Gorda.

I've owned collector cars from all the American manufacturers (GM, Ford, Chrysler, etc.), so I have no strong loyalty to any one in particular.

 One of my favorites was my 1965 Dodge Dart GT with 40,000 original miles, and it's original small-block V-8 and auto transmission. It was tremendous fun to drive and I really wish I had never given it up.

 Of course I say that about all my old rides......
