Living Out Loud

And Now, a Few Words From Jesus Christ

Hello Cincinnati!

What do clouds wear under their clothes?

Thunderware.

Ha-ha-ha! It's always good to start with a really solid joke don't you think?

What did you all do yesterday for Memorial Day? Did you go down to the Taste of Cincinnati and eat too much? Maybe someone cut up one of the cows that my dad created and you cooked it outside on a grill. That's always a good time.

I know more than a few of you got drunk and totally wasted. Yeah, I was watching you from up here making an ass of yourself.

Know what I did? I was thinking of the all the soldiers who died for your country.

Tell me – what is war good for? What? Getting too heavy? Let me end with another joke.

What’s the strongest bird that my dad created?

A crane.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!

We go to Gawker who has plenty to say about their former editor Emily Gould and her New York Times Magazine cover story. Emily likes to sleep with people and blog about it. Click here to read the post.

Today

Today's Memorial Day and before you start your cookout, go down to the Taste of Cincinnati, drink a case of beer - or whatever your plans are for today, I hope you'll take two minutes and watch the video down below.

It's from the Evergreen Freedom Foundation.

That Was The Week That Was - In Blogs

It looks like Shania Twain is calling it quits with her husband and record producer Robert "Mutt" Lange. People reported last week that Mutt has a "thing" for his secretary and house manager Marie-Anne Thiebaud.

Mutt, just between you and me, are you nuts? Look at the photo over on the right. Have you totally lost your mind? You’re married to Shania Twain!!

Let me try to calm down.

Perhaps mushrooms would help, but I won’t be taking them anally. A woman did recently and outside of having a burning anus, she enjoyed the experience. The Stranger’s Slog Blog filled us in last week.

Is Hillary going to assassinate Obama in June? We can find the answer at Wonkette.

Speaking of Hillary, Maureen Dowd thinks it’s time for her to make a “gracious exit.”

Last week over at the Renewal Blog, Bart Campolo wrote an amusing post called “Grandma’s Second Chance as a Long Hail Trucker.” Everybody deserves a second chance – even Larry Craig.

Speaking of Larry Craig, what’s a “bobblefoot doll? Last week, Crooks and Liars provided a photo.

Last week, Andrew Sullivan took a mental health break at his Daily Dish Blog and listened to K.D. Lang sing “Hallelujah.” It’s very nice indeed.

And, of course, tomorrow is Memorial Day. Gawker has a message for you about that. That might be a good day to head on down to the Taste of Cincinnati if you haven’t done so already. UrbanCincy gave us a bit of history on the event last week and according to The Cincinnati Nation’s weather report, tomorrow’s going to be a pretty warm day.

If I can get Shania Twain out of my head, I may even head down there myself.

Dick Cavett Meets Jimi Hendrix

Yesterday, we had Dick Cavett talking with John Lennon and Yoko Ono and we're going to continue on today with another clip from that show.

Cavett has had various talk shows throughout his career, but the one best known was on ABC from 1968 to 1974. I was a teenager during those years and a big fan of the show. The thing was - you never knew when it was going to be on.

On ABC, Cavett started with a morning talk show, then a prime time talk show, then settled into late night against The Tonight Show. Critics showed it, but it was never a ratings success.

Rock performers were seldom on the other talk shows but Cavett featured them regularly.

In the video down below, Cavett gets to know rock legend Jimi Hendrix.

John and Yoko and Dick Cavett

It didn't take long for someone to figure out what month and year the Beatles played Cincinnati. I don't think Tom makes this hard enough, but what I'm I? Only his editor.

In keeping with the Beatles theme on this Friday, let's visit with John and Yoko and Dick Cavett.

John Lennon and Yoko Ono visited on the “Dick Cavett Show” and this is only like six minutes of the interview – but I think it’s the best part.

-- Dick asks John if Yoko broke up the Beatles.

-- Look how much John and Yoko are smoking.

-- See what happens when Dick wants to light Yoko’s cigarette!

It’s a pretty decent clip from so many years ago and it’s down below.

Enjoy your weekend.

Testing Your Knowledge on Your Hometown

The Beatles: Ever hear of them?

In what month and year did they perform at a large outdoor venue at Crosley Field - right here in Cincinnati?

Was it. . .

June, 1945?

Was it. . .

January, 2007?

Or was it. . .

August, 1966?

The first person with the correct answer wins my Bic disposal light. It’s red and almost half full!

I know you’re excited.

Question of the Week

If you live in California and if a guy loves his boyfriend, he can now marry him. The same goes for women who prefer the same sex

When do you think same-sex marriage will be legal in Ohio?

Learning to Fly

Mix some George Harrison music with some Arrested Development footage, what do you get? I'm not at all sure but I think it's kind of fun. The video is down below.

We go to The Cincinnati Dealer.

In their mailbag department, The Dealer apparently received a lot of mail in response to recent developments at The Downtowner Pulse.

What the hell? didn't I write something about that for this blog?  Just like all the men I sleep with, I lose track of who I write for. Whatever. Click here to read the post.
