CAUSING PAUSE
ON this date in 1994 - A jury in Manassas, VA, acquitted Lorena Bobbitt by reason of temporary insanity of maliciously wounding (severing his penis) her husband John.
She accused him of sexually assaulting her.
In the interest of future mankind, the Boyz and I will not add any further commentary to the aforementioned historical fact...
The sheer existence of this action causes pause...
WE'RE IN BITING TIMES
Ken-Dogger: Hey there Sal, what’s with the bag?
Sal: Headed to Davos dude…
KD: You’re what?
S: I’m going to Davos, I’ve listened to the science and it’s compelling
KD: But Greta went there, she’s there now, it doesn’t seem to matter
S: These blokes ain’t listening to words, I need to put some teeth into it…
KD: Gripping?
S: No, Biting, we’re going for more senses…#painmatters
3 years ago this morning, the USA was abuzz with AMANDA GORMAN
Random Thought...
Suppose you're a very bright, well-read and thoughtful young black woman who wrote a phenomenally epic poem for America, "The Hill We Climb", and then...
Thinking, damn, the rest of my life I've got to top that.
That 22yo wunderkind has set a high bar for herself...
But, to tell you the truth, I don't think she's worried.
Sounds like she's got this...
Went to see Toast, a Bread tribute band, last evening at Utah Tech...
Toast...doing Bread well-done
It's #caturday right?

ON this date in 1999 - The China News Service announced that the Chinese government was tightening restrictions on internet use.
The rules were aimed at 'Internet Bars' which were the brainchild of Bun Man and Mr. Purple.
The bars were popular as American men could chat w/ their Asian fantasy women and the government found their women were no longer interested in the local China men.
The Boys soon moved on and founded asianfantasymatch.com to continue free trade.
ON this date in 1974 - Stevie Wonder played his first show after an auto accident that almost took his life five months earlier.
In attendance, loyal fans Bun Man and Mr. Purple, and when Stevie came on stage, Bun declared "OMG, he's blind!"
Mr. P smacked Bun on the back of his head and said "He's been blind since he was little Stevie..."
Bun retorted "Really; seriously, he did all this stuff while blind?"
Suddenly, Bun understood more about the auto accident.
ON this date in 1986 - New footage of the 1931 "Frankenstein" was found. The footage was originally deleted because it was considered to be too shocking. Actually, the deleted scenes were the only ones where Bun Man and Mr. Purple, both emergent screen stars, were to make their big screen debut. One scene had Bun Man kiss Frankenstein's babe...
The Kiss was so treacherous that Frank's babe had her hair turn two shades.
No problem, that's where the idea for 'Bride of Frankenstein' came from...
DOGGIES DO WHAT HUMANS WON'T DO...
Ken-Dogger: Morning Buster, uh oh, what’s up?
Buster: Morning, I want food and then a walk…
KD: Aren’t you a little demanding this morning…
B: I’m figuring out you have to be forceful
KD: To get stuff done?
B: No bro, to help Earth, walking reduces our carbon footprint
KD: And I’m helping with that?
B: Yes you are, we’re going to make this work, if humans don’t save us, dogs will…
Morning Peeps,
I'm alive and growing, I've embraced failure...
