Is This Some Sort Of Joke On Everybody Or Is There Something Far More Nefarious Going On?

Maybe I watch far too much television. Maybe that when I watch television.......there are certain things that jump right out and cause me to wonder. And often, I end up wondering if anybody else is taking notice of things........well.......at least some of the things that I see as strange as if there is some sort of joke being put upon everyone.

Consider the most recent US Supreme Court nominee.......you know who I am referring to..........the woman who has never been a judge before..........the one that Obama wants..........Elena Kagan.

At first I thought she looked awfully familiar......sort of a cross between Mama Cass and MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.............Can you see what I mean by that?...............but then I wasn't satisfied with that description because I know I have seen this person before........many times......so many times that it is almost creepy. As I say..........she looks awfully familiar.

So then this guy is on the news........he is the newly elected Governor Christie of New Jersey............and here we go............he looks like Kagan........no, wait........Kagan looks like Christie..........
........and then this other guy named Frank Luntz, a pollster for Fox News, appears on my tv...........and wouldn't you know it?..........Luntz looks like Kagan too......or should I say that Kagan looks like Luntz?

It's not just the tv, either...........I was listening to some progressive rock.........in particular, the band known as Marillion........and I decided to do a little research on that group and I watched some videos and went to their website..............and of course, I ran across this guy:


..........This is Marillion guitarist Steve Rothery..............and..........you got it............Rothery looks just like Kagan........or maybe Kagan looks just like Rothery. So how is it that this Kagan woman looks like so many other people that look like she does? Hmmmmmm...........any guesses?

.........maybe its the ham sandwiches.


On another note........

I was retrieving some change that was on our dining room table the other day and I noticed that the pennies looked very new and shiny.........and that caused me to have a closer look at them.

So this is what I see...............no more Lincoln Memorial on the back. It has been replaced with what looks to me like cheap clip art. This is so bad that it looks like they got the idea fromthe Captain America shield.

So when did all of this happen?........I watch the news every day and I had not seen any mention that the penny was going to "change" along with just about everything else. Whose bright idea was this?.......and who said we could afford the cost involved for this makeover of the penny?

I do not like it......it looks cheaper than what it is worth..........and the kicker is that the penny actually costs more than a penny to make each penny.......go figure.

I think we are all existing in a big joke.

Yeah, I Wore That And The Egg Lady Sold It To Me

Maybe one day some famous or almost famous celebrity will wear a t-shirt with Signtopia on it...............nahhhhhhh........probably not..........but it would be interesting.

Once upon a time.......back in the late 1970's............I found myself roaming around in Fells Point in Baltimore. Back then, I was always looking for another record shop to visit. On that particular day, I walked into a very small shop that had all sorts of used stuff for sale. It was a really cool shop and the proprietor just so happened to be a celebrity...........star of stage and screen and other seedy ventures, none other than Edith Massey. Edith Massey starred in several films made by John Waters.........you know........Hairspray......Pink Flamingos.........that dude.........very strange and odd dude...........and Edith Massey was also a bit odd and strange.

I walked into the shop and there was Edith with her co-hort, a woman that I can only describe as a cross between Cousin Itt and a sea hag from Popeye. Don't get me wrong here.......both Edith and her co-hort were very friendly, nice, and...........well.............the type of characters in the neighborhood that has been long lost in Baltimore since . I looked around the shop and saw a rack of clothing.............and there was this jacket that caught my eye.

Here's Edith Massey as the Egg Lady.

The jacket was really cool......it was burgundy and the material was like velour and there were these little stars all over it..............perfect seventies rock and roll attire............I had to have that jacket for myself................."Three dollars and fifty cents, Hon." said the Egg Lady and I said "Deal". I wore that jacket alot back then..........and the times have changed and styles have changed along with it since those days............but I could never bring myself to ever get rid of that jacket........it was a personal relic for me.......it had significance........it had a story too........and besides.........it was way too cool to just throw away.

The old jacket is in good shape.............but I am not. The jacket is the same as it ever was but it no longer fits............well........today I hover around 216 pounds and back in the late 1970's I was lucky if I was 135 pounds soaking wet. Needless to say, I cannot wear my favorite jacket anymore..........but it is cool.........and I will keep it until I die...........hmmmm......maybe it can be altered and I could be bur...............nahhhhhhh..........forget that idea...........Supernurse won't like that idea.

Look at all of those stars.....................

You just don't see stuff like this anymore.

Yep.........there was an inside pocket too.

It was a tough time for me back then.........but then again it was also a very good time too. This jacket reminds me of those good times I had while I wore it..............man, I could tell you some stories....................but for now I will remain with a smile.
