LEARN...Every Time
Historybook: Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun's burial chamber is unsealed (1923); Fidel Castro becomes prime minister of Cuba (1959); HBD tennis great John McEnroe (1959); HBD actress Elizabeth Olsen (1989); HBD musician The Weeknd (1990).
"The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose."
- John McEnroe
ON this date in 1959 - Fidel Castro seized power in Cuba after the overthrow of President Fulgencio Batista.
Freedom fighters Bun Man and Mr. Purple helped Fidel get to the top and were so proud of this burgeoning people's movement.
When Fidel's first act of power was to institute all men wearing their underwear outside their pants, the Boyz began to have doubts about where the country was headed.
(homage to Woody Allen for this one).
JERSEYLICIOUS
ON this date in 1942 - Shep Fields and his orchestra recorded "Jersey Bounce."
Co-producers Bun Man and Mr. Purple thought the song was out-of-sight and said Shep and his boys made a song for the ages.
Years later, Snookie and her mates and those dumbasses on Jerseylicious would use the song in a different way.
Snookie always thought the song was 'bout her 'genetically enhanced' boobs boucin' 'round on the show.
The jokes on her, the song had more bounce than her knockers!
Morning Peeps,
ON this date in 1999 - Rap star Ol' Dirty Bastard was arrested in Hollywood for allegedly wearing body armor, a forbidden garment because of his previous arrests.
ODB was initially pulled over for driving erratically.
Fellow rap stars Bun Man and Mr. Purple were also in the car w/ me and they were incredulous that the coppers pulled us over.

Jim Hightower on Scum-sucking Bankers
Chase bank weaseled out of its latest climate action commitment with corporate claptrap, declaring that reducing fossil fuel investments "will not successfully achieve the necessary transition of the global energy system." Yeah, so why bother? Forget what we promised way back when.
Then Wall Streeters wonder why people distrust and despise them!
